Step 7Form the body to the support pole
Now it's time to form those excess wires on the body to the support pole. Those long wires will be the support for the bulb. Trick is the lower section is going to be the main support.
Picture1 - You should have two wires coming from the lower section, and one from the middle coil. The copper piece from the motherboard plate also doubles as a stop in this case. It will rest against the support, although my design is not arched enough to worry with that.
Picture2 - Take the two wires from the bottom section and wrap them around the support pole. Choose your own design if you wish, but I liked the weave effect. Then solder them together and trim them down.
Next bring the single wire from the middle section up and over the other two. Bring it back towards the body and cinch it down. Apply a bit of solder to secure it to the previous two wires and file the area down.
Picture3 - Now take the body and wire it to the wings. Check for fit, position ect. If everything looks good, solder it down. Remember it does not have to be weight bearing solder, the wings just rest on the body.
Picture4 - This is what you should have now. Notice the weight bearing wires on the support pole. Trust me, electricians wire, especially when bent and hardened from friction, will support the weight.
