What You Need !

You will need : Old/ new skateboard Light fitting Light bulb Wire Switch Plug Nails Hammer Wood Piece of aluminum Aluminum foil tape Staple gun Staples

Starting

Cut some wood to size so that once it is nailed to the board it will create a gap between the board and the wall that's big enough for the light fitting Nail them to the board ( might have to remove the wheels)

Attaching Light Fixture

Take a 10 cm x 16 cm piece of thin aluminum and bend the edges so no one gets cut it they hold the lamp( when moving it) Use a staple gun to attach it to the board

Screw on the light fixture on top of the aluminum Attach the wires (of desired length) to the fixture Attach switch and plug ( do not plug in! )

Put aluminum foil tape around the sheet of aluminum , this will help reflect light I used a piece of wire at the top of the board that I nailed down so I could hang it on my wall

Finishing Touch
