Today's How-To is the Extended Version of Wednesday's post (How to Make a Hammered Light with John Gleeson Connolly) and we hope it will ignite your weekend craving to get back to your garage and rewire those old extension cords into inventive little lights.
A complete supply list with seventeen minutes of riveting, drilling, hammering, and detailed commentary from the inventor himself. With a few tips on how to make your own variation on the theme (which is, after all, the point of invention).
Happy weekending! Leave comments and questions below!
John Gleeson Connolly is an actor, contractor and object maker who lives with his family in Los Angeles in the construction site they call home.

I love this project. . .
the shaking of the video is distracting though.
Great video and tutorial. I have to try this!
More videos like this, please! Wow!
There are tools made just for bending sheet metal, and they're no more expensive than plyers. Check out "hand seamers" like this one, designed for HVAC: http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/pliers/6-inch-jaw-straight-sheet-metal-seamer-98728.html Cool tutorial!
