Book Light

Had a bad week this week. Lost one of best friends this week, Becky you will be missed. She encouraged everyone she meet, I supplied her with cards. She would sent them to everyone. This is Becky with her new copier.  This picture always make me smile. I love ya Becky.

But while I'll was sitting at my desk I needed to create something,

 I had sent a book light on The Chive and I really wanted one,

so that is what I made this week.

Gutting the book.

I had to break down the bulb holder to fit inside the book, then I clamped it down and used Royal Coat Decoupage finish on the inside. then clamped the side and drilled a hole in the side. I added the switch and wired it up. If you need to see how I did that let me know. I used a lot of hot glue to hold everything in place and use as a strain relief for the cord.  

 And here is the final product, it looks great the pages on the outside look great.
