I cut triangle with the help of an angle grinder on the both end of the metal strip according to the sketch. I Grinded ends of the metal strip to a circle form. Then I marked and drilled holes according the sketch. I Took a carton tube and bent metal strip, then fixed end of metal strip into vices and curved metal strip with the help of the metal pipe ½.

I made the wooden block look like old one with help of a crimped wire whell brushes. Then I made openings for an electric cable on the wooden block with a saw blade.

I screwed metal strips to the wooden block by the wood screw 3x25mm. Then I screwed metal flowers to metal strips and to lower part of lamp cartridges (by bolts 10x25mm).

I painted curved metal strips and metal flowers in the black colour. When paint was drying out I smeared a silver paint on the metal strips and metal flowers by a small brush. I painted wooden block by the shellac with red shade.

I connected ends of the electric cable with upper part of the lamp cartridges. Then I laid an electric cable along the metal strip and put it in a hole 12mm diameter –on the metal strip.

After that I connected two parts of the lamp cartridges. I connected four electric cables with one electric cable. I used zero electric bus and twist.

I screwed the metal hanger to the wooden block by a wood screw 3x25mm that closes the place where electric cable comes into wooden block. I screwed two hooks on the ends of the top wooden block and put chain into the hooks.
