Step 6V-Shaped Hinges
OK, the next step is to create the neck, body, and leg V hinges for the lamp. Again, the size of these hinges will depend on the diameter of your lamp's head. Fortunately, I've put all of the various templates (Neck, Mid Joint and Leg Joint) on one page, so all you have to do is scale the page with your printer/copier to fit your needs. The ratio I used for my head- Mid Joint is 5 in: 2 3/4 in.
You can download a larger version of the template from my Flickr site here.
Once you are finished scaling, cut the pieces out of plexiglass. I used an electric saw, but a dremel tool might also work. Then drill three holes into the plastic, which will function as screw holes.
Your lamp should already be starting to take shape!
