A few days ago, I transfers my workshop to an underground room where I can work freely away from the noise and I have a good space to settle my tools and start working, but this room needs a light where underground there is darkness so I decided to make a Simple Workshop Lamp that makes the indoor of my room bright, and I've added a phone holder that helps me record my Instructables.

In this instructable you will need:

  • wood
  • saw
  • pencil

measure 4 pieces, one of length 15 cm and width 9cm and another of length 20cm and width 9cm, then measure two pieces of length 10cm and width 6cm using a pencil and ruler.

Step 2: Saw

Saw the 4 pieces of wood by referring to the measurements using a wood saw.

Step 3: Drilling

  • Drill the two identical pieces in the middle of the terminal of the wood,
  • Then drill the two other pieces at the center of both sides of each piece.

Step 4: Set the Base of the Lamp

  • Mark using a pencil the screw holes of the lamp base on the lower wooden piece with the length of 20 cm.
  • Drill 4 holes in the lower piece, two holes for the screws of the base and two holes for the wires of the lamp.

Wire the poles of the base of the lamp after passing the wires separately from the holes of the wooden piece and then insulate them with electric scotch.

Step 6: Test the Lamp

After fixing the lamp with screws and wiring it, test it before fixing it to the ceiling.

Step 7: Fix the Phone Holder

Using a screw fix the phone holder that you can get it from any tripod and fix a it using a screw to the lower wooden piece.

Using a 1cm drill bit drill a hole in the ceiling in a place proper to your work where it gives a bright light while working.

Step 9: Fix in the Ceiling

Place a plastic screw fitter to the hole and then screw through the upper wooden part of length 15cm and fix it to the ceiling.
