Step 10Assembling Luxo Jr.
Alright, now it's time to finally begin assembling your Luxo Jr. Lamp! For this step, I will be breaking it up into two different parts of assembly 1) Main Structure, 2) Wiring
Main Structure
Start by connecting the Head to the main Neck Joints. Attach the three short screws (1 1/2'', #8-32) as well as their corresponding screw nuts, through the Neck Joint's three screw holes. Once you have measured how long the screws should be, cut the excess using a hacksaw. Then connect the Straight Brackets to the Neck Joint (the bracket with the spring peg should be at the bottom).
Next, start by attaching the Mid Joint to the Straight Brackets and then to the Thick Steel Bar. You will need to use the Washers, in order to provide enough space between the regular straight brackets and the thick steel bar. Then, attach the Z Shaped Bracket, to either side of the Mid Joint. Connect this using the Medium Screws and Nylon Lock Nut .
Finally, connect the Leg Joint to the Base of the lamp, and feed the Long Screw through the Leg Joint at the bottom. Keep the Leg Joints in place using the four Nylon Nuts, and attach the Z Shaped Bar to the Leg Joint using rubber bands.
Wiring
Wiring for the lamp definitely isn't difficult, if you want to use the lamps original wire. Attach the wire from the lamp's head and feed it through the straight bracket, and the thick steel bar until it gets to the bottom of the base. Then connect the two wires using two Wire Connectors.
However, I went a little further and decided to give Luxo Jr. the exact kind of round-ish cord that he had in the original short. I used a spare wire from an Extension Cord, in order to fit my needs.
