Make an Ultra-Minimalist Table Lamp [DIY]

from Lifehacker by Jason Fitzpatrick

If you're looking for an ultra-minimalist table lamp that requires no more effort than just screwing the bulb in, this ingenious little lamp is for you.

Sean Regan crafted quite a creative lamp from minimal parts. The entire lamp is a Bunsen burner stand, a decorator globe light bulb, and a socket extension cord. The total cost for the lamp was around $20, and assembly is as simple as screwing the lightbulb into the socket and resting it on the burner stand.
