Step 4Assembling the Lamp & Base
Now that you've threaded that metal disc OFF of the lamp's wiring, flip it around so that it's facing in the opposite direction from its original installation on that lamp.
Don't thread the wiring back through YET.
Just for an idea of what we're doing, photo 1 below demonstrates how the two pieces would look without the wooden box in place. You'll note how they can be screwed together using their original threading, even though it's "backwards" from the original design. The space between this disc & the top of the lamp is where the wood of the box/base will be (the disc will be on the inside of the box -- as shown in image 2 below).
Now, place the lamp (with its many halogen posts) on the outside of the wooden planter box. Thread the lamp's wiring through the hole in (what is now) the "top" of the box. Once the wiring is through, slip on the metal disc (with the positioning demonstrated in photo 1 below) and thread it through until the disc meets the lamp's base through the hole in the box (as shown in photo 2 below).
At the end of this step, your lamp should look like photo 3 below.
