Cut a groove in the lamp so the cable fits nicely, and still sits flush to the surface without wobbling

just a live & neutral as there's no earth on the plastic fitting

none the less the gear must still be earthed, suppose the cable chaffed through to the live at the base = live gear not good, also looks a bit top heavy, but nice idea though, well done, Rick

Ok, so if I run a earth from The socket plug and atach it to the shaft you won't get a shock? 'i don't know as much about mains'

It's not top heavy luckily, but the others I will be making will have the biggest gear at the bottom, so will by more pyramid shaped
