Build some PAR38 cans using coffee tins

Step 2 The wooden bracket

This wooden bracket hold the lamp fitting. It also provides support to the tin, you'll see in a later step how the tin is fixed to the bracket.

I used wood because it means that the light fitting is fitted to a NON CONDUCTIVE surface. This is important if you don't want to risk getting an electric shock!

The wood is simply cut to fit the tin as you can see in the image, and the pieces secured with screws.
