Lamp from an old cornice. Not bad

A bit of a messy idea, but the result, I think, cannot be called bad. I had a cornice that had not been used for a long time, I wanted to throw it away, but when I wiped it off from dust, it turned out to be whole and not peeled off, and therefore suitable for some ideas. And now, recently I thought of making a wall lamp out of it, using only what will be in the closet. True, I bought a light bulb, but not on purpose, it lay like a spare tire.

All the assembly details first had to be prepared, and then strung with effort on a plump electrical wire.

On the back of the base under the lamp, I had to make a recess for the wire, stretch it and gradually put on the rest. It's good that almost all the holes were already prepared from the beginning.

Jumper with cornice between the base and the long pole, I had to cut it in half and shove its halves into a plastic tube from the case for a perforating drill. The parts of the jumper inserted into the extension tube were drilled with a 6 mm drill so that the wire would pass through them. On

picture 3 the tube is already wrapped in white duct tape.

A wire also had to be passed through the other figured part, and the cap from the plastic bottle from which the shade was made was screwed to its end. A 70 or 80 mm self-tapping screw came in handy, reaching the bottom of the factory groove for the eaves spike.

After this operation, I made a plafond and glued strips of white electrical tape on it. It's a pity that it was not enough, otherwise I would have wrapped the lid and decorated the top of the plafond a little.

Then it was time to prepare the holes in the shade and the cartridge for its through fastening with a hairpin. The holes were made with a hot awl first at the very top of the cartridge, then inserted it inside and along the axis of the holes in the cartridge melted the holes in the neck of the bottle.

Then it was the turn to put the plafond on the wire, mount the cartridge and secure it with a hairpin from a paper clip, which he bent on the back side.

The chuck on the hairpin can dangle from side to side, which is somewhat convenient for setting in the desired position.

And at the end of the assembly, I attached a wire with stapler staples in a groove on the back of the base so that it would not pop out when hanging and screwed on the plug. It remains only on the base to drill a hole for a self-tapping screw for hanging.

When I pulled up the wire, connected all the parts, I got a lamp of this kind. Not the most fashionable, of course, well-oo-oo-oo almost a loft. The tests were successful, as can be seen from the video, and is now waiting to be assigned a permanent duty station. Rate!
