Step 5Rescale Straight Brackets
Or neck sections, arm sections, whatever you'd call those four metal bars that connect the lamp together. Now, the size of these will depend on the diameter of your lamp's head. As you should have already gotten the measurements from Step 3, simply use the ratio you've estimated when scaling (mine was 5in-3 1/2 in.)
For reference, there will be three straight brackets that you will rescale (2 for the neck, one for the bottom). The Neck Sections (which connects the head to the body) will be cut from the existing lamp brackets, and the lower straight bracket (used to connect the body to the base) will be cut from the thick steel bar.
I used a hacksaw and a metal file to do my work.
Once you have finished, you will need to drill two holes (one at either end) into the cut bars. This will function as screw holes, in order to keep your lamp together and flexible.
