This is a tough part, using a hack saw cut of a piece of your metal rod. Then bend one side.(When bending metal rod put a piece of cloth over it so you do not   scratches it)

Step 5: Preparing the Bulb

When preparing the bulb use caution. Wear goggles and gloves. If you don't know how to dismantle the bulb there are plenty video's on you tube and the web When the bulb is clean its ready to drill a hole in the threaded area.

Step 6: Gluing the Legs

In this step you will be gluing the legs and the part that holds the bulb. Mix the epoxy in a little cup and use a stick to rub the glue on the rods.(best way to put the legs on is to bend one side and push it through the wood and bend the other side)
