Hi there,
I made this fun ceramic angler fish with the intention of turning into a desk lamp. Now comes figuring out how to make the electric part fit!
I have copper pipe, and a vintage-style fitting running through it. My two issues/questions are:
- how can I ensure the pipe stays in the hole in the fish without falling out? I’ve put a size reducing part on the pipe, so it now sits in the hole, but I could do with it being more secure. (A permanent option is gluing.)
- the light fitting doesn’t screw or sit tightly in the other end of the copper pipe. I’d ideally like it fixed on somehow (maybe soldering if I can source that).
Overall I want to make sure the pipe isn’t at risk of toppling out the fish, and the cable isn’t at risk of sliding out of the pipe causing a bulb to hit the desk.
I can get inside the fish via a larger hole in the bottom.
Any advice is very welcome.
Thanks!
Rob
