Desk lamp from birch branch.

A desk lamp made from an interesting branch. Proved to be very hard to drill a hole for a cord!

Hey I was also thinking about drilling a long hole for a lamp cord for my pallet project. How did you do it? I couldn’t figure out a way and mine would be far less complex with more room for error. No twists or turns, just long.

I used an very long electricials drill and drilled from the top and the bottom but the drill kept getting very hot.
Propably not the best idea.

OK thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.

Brian & Alex, I bought 2 – 13" extensions with an Allen set screw, I join them together if needed & I use a 7/16 spade bit.
The dust doesn’t clog up like a twisted bit and cause heating .

Very interesting lamp, I like it.
