Geometric Cut Paper Table Lamp

Step 3 Assemble The Base

Cut the wire about 3" from the puck and feed the wire from the puck through the base (from the top). Now screw the puck into position and recut the wire so it stops about half way between the hole and the edge of the wood. Strip the puck wire and the power wire about 1/4" back.

Solder the wire back together using heat shrink tubing or liquid electrical tape to isolate and wrap the junction.

Now is a good time to test the lamp. If it's working use the wire clips to secure the wire to the wood. The clips I had used nails to secure, so I drilled a small pilot hole in the base. Make sure that the cord is in snug enough that a tug on the cord won't strain the junction.

Finally, attach the feet.
