Build the Lamp:

1. Once the box is done, glue 2 additional wood shims together.
2. Screw and glue that shim as a third crossbeam across the top of the box.
2. Using a Home Depot Clamp Light, clamp it on to the 3rd crossbeam.
3. Use the side lamp box that is not covered by the clamp light to store items.
