Wagon Wheel Chandelier

Wagon Wheel Chandelier
The idea of the chandelier came to me because in my girlfriend's yard they've made a big shelter planned to be a barbeque with a big table so the whole family can gather. But for now only the shelter part is done. It is made like in old times- wooden shelter, wall made out of stones, clay things. All that was left was the lightning. So the whole scene lead me to this type of chandelier.

Step 1Materials and tools

Materials and tools
I used a lot of stuff to make this chandelier. Here is the long list of the materials:

A wagon wheel
1.5 metres of cable
about  2 metres of chain
some wood screws
a spring hook
4 wood screws with ring on the back
6 E14 sockets
6  candle light bulbs
Black paint
Transperant lacquer
Sand paper

On the picture you can see most of the material because other ones were needed later and i had to go to the shop few times because i always forgot something or something was comming up in the process.

This is an awesome idea, and surprisingly simple! I think the hardest part would be locating a wheel. haha

I have had the experience of staples from a staple gun pinching wires inside the cable to make a short. There are staples for doorbell wire that come with some insulation on them, but they must be driven by hand with a hammer. Even then, it is a good idea to go easy and leave the wire a little loose to avoid a short due to a pinch. Thank you for a useful Instructable.
