maybe bleach could be used on the price codes?

Good idea, I tried acetone, rubbing alcohol, and then I just sanded it, I didn't think to try bleach, thanks.

That is very cool. Very nice work. But doesn't anyone make the Underwriters Laboratories knot anymore? Our Shop teachers drilled that into our heads all the time.

[ChrysN]

The Underwriters Laboratories knot, what's that? I never took shop.

It's a strain relief safety feature. You tie a knot inside the lamp frame before the wire nuts so someone can't damage the connection by pulling on the outlet cord. Nice lamp!

[ChrysN]

Yes, that would have been a good knot to use, thanks.

nice work man, I'm considering building one too. Thanks for the very nice instructable ! By the way why did you need a piece of cardboard at the back?

[ChrysN]

I added the cardboard because I wanted the plywood to be flush with the bottom of the frame.
