The Ornamental Holiday Hurricane Lamp

12: Run a small bead of woodworker's glue along each joint - and around the edges of the octagonal bottom

13: Carefully roll the Lamp Assembly up to form an octagonal shape and secure it together (loosely for now) with some large rubber bands, a strap clamp or a piece of rope with a wooden tourniquet-style tightening handle.

14: Gently press the octagonal Bottom (B) into the Lamp Assembly until just 1/4" of the bottom is protruding below the sides. Wipe off any excess glue around the Bottom.

15: Tighten your clamping devices around the sides...check for squareness...and wipe off any glue squeeze-out with a damp cloth.

16: Apply glue to...and position...the four Glue Blocks (C) inside the opposing sides (A) of the assembled Lamp, where they meet the Bottom (B)...to serve as reinforcements. Set aside to dry.

17: Once the glue has dried thoroughly, remove your clamping devices and finish-sand.

18: Apply the finish of your choice to the outside.

19: Paint the inside white or silver...or cover your cutouts with various colors of cellophane.

20: Install your candle and glass chimney, light and enjoy!
