one object from my bedroom

How its made is an interesting topic. We were assigned to choose one object from our bedroom and research how it is made. I chose my basket lamp.

For the purposes of this post I want to focus on how the body of the lamp is made. This is commonly referred to as a Garrison Basket Lamp. the coils of the body are formed by placing them into a screw press that first takes any were from 4 to 12 rods and first coils them tightly to form a cable shape. Then to create the basket they are uncoiled as they are pressed inward forcing the rods to bend outward and form the coiled basket we see. After this the base and top plate are welded into place holding all the rods in this configuration and then the wiring tube is inserted through the whole apparatus and the wiring of the lamp commences. That is how a Garrison Basket Lamp is made. I like this lamp in particular because it has more of the industrial character that I like.
