Lamps

One of the greatest DIY projects to try out is the lamp. Everyone can use a good lamp or two and here are ten different approaches to bringing light to the darkness.

add a lamp that you can make in a day or so with very simple and cheap materiels(and if you don't have the tools for the job).
