Step One: Hole
The first step is to cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle. All bottles are different and, before carrying out subsequent operations, it is necessary to make a hole. In case of failure, the remaining parts can be used for another bottle.
Seals the bottom of the bottle with tape. Clips with hands or in a vice wrapping a rag. Marks the center. Pours water from above and begins to drill. The crown must be kept at an angle of 45 degrees. Then unfold the bottle on the other side and drill at an angle on the other side. As soon as the cutting line has been outlined, you can hold the crown straight. Periodically you need to add water. You can not put pressure on the bottle, drilling should occur under the weight of the drill. The same principle of drilling and side opening.
Step Two: Pipe Cutting
Sets the bottle on a flat surface. Around the bottle installs mounting clamps, twisted in the opposite direction. He puts copper pipes on the clamps. Marks pipe cuts with a marker. Cuts off pipes.
Step Three: Foundation
From the board cuts the base. In the center, the base drills a hole. It polishes the board, covers with stain, and then with varnish. Installs the bottle on the base. Marks installation locations for mounting clips.
Fourth step: electrical part
Screws a wire with a switch to the cartridge. Secures the cartridge in the center of the base. Screws in a light bulb. Fastens the clamps.
Checks lamp operation.
Installs a bottle on top of the lamp.Collects a copper pipe. The top of the bottle is clamped with a copper cap that presses the bottle to the base.
Here are some more works of the wizard.
