DIY PIXAR: Luxo Jr. Lamp

Step 2: Materials

 Here's what you'll need to build him:

Supplies

1. Anglepoise Lamp (I got mine at Target for $25) 
2. Circular Lamp Base (depending on your type of anglepoise lamp you purchased, you might not need this.  Since mine had a different base, I needed to buy another one at Goodwill)
3. Plexiglass (for the different "V" shaped connectors.  I prefer this over sheet metal since it's easier to cut)

Other Materials

1. Long Screw (I used a  5'', I used a #10-32)
2. 3 Medium Screws (ie 3'', #10-32)
3. 4 Short Screw (ie 1 1/2'', #8-32)
4. 9 Stainless Steel Flat Washers (#8)
5. 4 Nylon Lock Nuts (#10-32)
6. 4 Machine Screw Nuts (#8-32)
7. Rectangular steel bar (has to be thicker than your lamp light's bars)

Tools  

1. Dremel Tool and drill bits 
2. Metal File
3. Hacksaw and Power Saw
4. Power Drill w/ drill bit (at least 9/64)
5. Sheet Metal (not pictured)
6. Wire Cutters
7. Metal Vice
8. Gorilla Glue (or unless you can weld)
9. Aluminum Silver Paint (or Off White, depending on whether you want your Luxo to look like it did in the short or in the PIXAR title sequence, respectively)
10. Computer Printer or Copier (with resize/scale function)
11. Optional- Gray Power Outlet Cable

Ok cool, but the thing is: I'm in Brazil...

I don't know what is Goodwill!!
I googled it and I found a company that finds job for people and a auction website for antique stuff...

I need a store that sells stuff online...
I'll keep searching for it

Thanks

Goodwill is an American business thing....it exists nowhere but here in America(as far as I know anyway).

They sell used stuff that(usually) still has life left in it....things like clothes, electronics, furniture, books, you name it. If 1 or 2 people can carry it, they sell it.

Hmmmm, that complicates matters a bit.

Do you have a Paypal Account? Ebay might have some listings.

just to let everyone know, Here in America, if you need something cut to size(wood, metal, plastic, etc) there is almost always somewhere you can take your material & get it cut to size....for a price(usually $5 for the whole job or less). If you know someone with the proper tools, they just MIGHT cut it for you for free. talk REALLY REALLY sweet to them. LOL
