Became this
I glass lamp base
1 glass divided plate
It needs to be divided in order for it to sit up
unscrew the base from the rest of the lamp
after dismantling
I used the glass base
and the middle rod
I got the following couplets
in the lightening dept
they have threads
all the way threw so you
could combine 2 rods
at Lowe's
I needed this piece to make
the rod stick up higher
I glued on to a washer
I glued to a knob to hold the lid on
I then glued the bottom
of the washer
to the divided plate
then glued the lamp to
the divided plate with E6000
Cut a hole in the plate
and screw the knob on the top
Because the glass is so heavy
we ended up putting
a screw down the top
of the knob after we
put the wire for the hanger in
I drilled a hole in the knob
prior to gluing it to the extension piece
What a wonderful transformation. I am impressed! La

Jo I just found this. That is brilliant. I have been taking apart lamps and creating candle pedestals and bird baths lately but this hanging one is so great. Thanks for the inspiration! Pam
