Jar Lamp

This instructive will shows how to make a jar lamp. It's my first one so go easy and any comments will be appreciated. I have heard of these being described as "Mason Jars" however this is not one. I have plenty of mason jars and none are big enough to house the type of batten lamp holders that are available in Australia. But I did find this large jar with a screw cap that I decided to make into a lamp.

2 wood screws (approx 25mm long)
Light bulb (low wattage or coloured)
