Holy crap! That's the EXACT same lamp I just bought at an antique store in St.Catherine! I'm so glad I found this video.

[@tomaserincasablancalarocqu5086]

Beautiful light!! Did a great job!!!

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

I am so glad that I am not the only one who will fix a lamp instead of buying a new one! :)

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Michelle's Crafts & More Well..my friend gave me this shade..and the rest is history!

[@juliejones4010]

Thank you! This is exactly what I have been looking for. The plug assembly part was priceless! 🙏

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

My Pleasure!

[@Lemieux_7]

You cracked me up right off the bat! I can relate to the hair comment😂

[@angelabaril104]

Thank you Bev for the tutorial on the construction of a lamp,loved it and it is beautiful hanging over your chair. Tootles.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Angela Baril Thanks Angela!

[@deborahcarson2655]

very good instruction. clear language and easy to understand. good job.

[@miguelpaul1164]

Thanks I love it!!! Just bought a stained glass lamp and am thinking about turning it into a hanging lamp. Thanks for posting!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I did THAT too! lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzUpat6o7d8r8k

[@webbsway]

OOO - thank you, thank you, thank you so very much. I have a swag lamp and the wiring has gone bad. I was wanting to know how to rewire it as it is a beautiful lamp and thanks to you sharing I think I can pull it off! I declare it seems it is fix something every day!

[@GrandmaGingersFarm]

Gorgeous! I have to giggle, cause every time you tell us Not to look at your hair, I just have to. Love the lamp.

[@janwhite5642]

That's good Bev. I too have a thing for lamps and bought me an old swag and then used the beautiful glass on a table lamp...I enjoy doing anything mechanical. I have fixed my washer, dryer and my oven.. I thought I fixed our lawn mower and everyone watching was very surprised when it started right up, that is until it starting shooting the bearings like b'b's. then they ran for cover. It was funny! And is now a great memory...

[@rhaven50]

This was awesome. I have a couple vintage lamps I picked up a while back I wanted to rewire. You took the scary out of it for me. Thanks Doll :-)

[@mucnagow2]

You two are so perfectly matched. Nice job on your pretty lamp!

[@crazyldy002]

Oh my goodness that lamp is precious, I am a lamp nut , I love different kinds, shapes, designs of lamps and that one ROCKS !!!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you!

[@DixieGirl9876]

A wonderful up cycle project, well done! I have a couple of old lamps needing rewiring when I get time.lol

[@bobbieaymond9112]

This is just what I was looking for !! 💃thank you ‼️

[@bothepeep]

Thank You for sharing this..... That is a Beautiful lamp.....it will be so nice when you are quilting.....

[@kathyjotourtois]

I always have loved hanging lamps . Great job Bev . It came out perfect !!! have a great weekend ahead . hugs n xx from michigan

[@jwangerin]

Love your vibe! I can’t wait to make my first swag lamp now!

[@eileengowlak1883]

this was WONDERFUL. just what i was looking for thank you so much. when im ready to do ut ill play this again. MAYBE again and again. it takes me aehile to get it lol that you again. going to save this till im ready .

[@gopackgo2235]

That is a pretty shade. Very nice work. I have always had a thing for swags lamps, and I haven't the foggiest idea why. Maybe because they can go anywhere and not be in the way.

[@hollyxo.]

It's so cool that you showed the plug assembly! I haven't seen anyone else do that on a video before. It isn't to say that doesn't exist on a video - or even many - but I haven't yet seen anyone else do it in any videos pertaining to lamp assemblies and it's an aspect I really needed to know. What kind of store did you buy all the supplies from?

[@Nakuru98]

Look at you!!...Go Bev!!...a "Jane" of all trades...

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Doris Mair Thanks Honey!

[@elainewhitney4190]

your video may have been out for a few years but it was the only one I found on KZbin that applied to me. Thank you so much for posting this. I have a working swag lamp!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

GOOD JOB!

[@Yorkieapsa]

I can learn it all from your channel!

[@lynhanna917]

okay, now I will use this video as incentive to take an antique lamp pole apart and turn it into a useable lamp. Thank you for the video.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Lyn Llinse My Pleasure!

[@mothergoose1176]

Another great video Mrs V and I love your Welsh dresser xx

[@barbr6731]

I too love lamps and this one is gorgeous, congrats on the lamp.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

barb r Thanks Honey!

[@susanbrown6349]

I like the idea of heating the cord to make wire stripping easier. thanks great common sense video

[@crochet9100]

Oh God, This is great! But where was this video 2 years ago when I did it with sweat, blood and tears, and nearly lost what mind I do have figuring it out by myself? It looks beautiful, and you are so talented. Love all your videos. Thanks,.

[@essemsween818]

I always learn something new when I tiptoe through your archives Bev, that tip about softening the cord plastic would have been good to know, they should teach stuff like this in school! I wonder why some enterprising mind hasn't come up with different colours for lighting cord? Brown was useful in the 1930's house but it's just intrusive nowadays Brown, Black or White, all useless against a chain! It's the same over here, we just have different plugs.

[@shawhit3462]

Thanks Bev. Great how to video.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

sha whit My Pleasure Sweety!

[@diannetabor]

Love the lamp! I've done that type of stuff since I was a kid. My dad was an electrician too. Great video, Mrs. Volfie!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

diannetabor Thanks Darlin! Do you sup[pose it's in the blood?

[@diannetabor]

It's possible. ;-)

[@NWIPrepper19113]

We used to manage a 270 unit motel. Can't even count how many of those I repaired. People treat them like heavy machinery or let their kids swing from them or something..

[@hollyxo.]

OMG. People are so rude anymore. My mom NEVER allowed us to do anything to other people's things that could ruin them. If we even got a little too giggly while sitting on someone else's sofa, she'd ream us a new one. These days so many parents - well - they just don't seem to parent. They let their kids do whatever they want with other people's things. I don't even get it. And if kids were swinging from these lamps, didn't that rip at least some of them from the ceiling, leaning a repair in need of being done their too?

[@SandyzSerious]

That was so cool. It looks so pretty hanging there.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

SandyzSerious I think so too!

[@TARAdactyl56]

This is a super helpful video!

[@shericurry4226]

My dad believed us girls needed to know all that stuff also. Nice job Bev.

[@kathyg8553]

Thank you so much for your video! I kind of had an idea on how to do it but it’s always good to have feedback from somebody else ☺️

[@heatherinparis]

Nice work! Gives me a few ideas concerning stuff around here that could easily be made into lamps.

[@nothingbutthebest513]

Well done. And it is a very beautiful creation.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Nothingbutthebest Thank you!

[@conniemaxwell885]

Wonderful! 🙂👍

[@gaillaviolette6115]

[@katiekaos629]

AWESOME!!!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Katie Kaos Thanks!

[@ratrod67]

Great video! Is an underwriters knot something that's only needed in certain situations? I'm trying to make a swag lamp for my Aunt and the ceramic socket I'm using I can't seem to figure out how as there's no room and I'm confused on whether I have to have one or not.

[@urcarebear23]

I love lamp

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Jenny Duffy Me Too!

[@donnazack7744]

Thank you, I will be doing something like this real soon.

[@chelle-shellparks1882]

Do you have to make sure and hook the same copper wire (side of power cord) to the brass screw at both ends or does it not matter?

[@susiekenowski2127]

thank you for the video, yours is the best I've seen so far! I have a couple questions though, 1, for the wire how do you tell which side goes on either gold or white? 2, how is this light grounded? thanks in advance!

[@mneff69]

Good job. Be Careful sticking you fingers and objects in that socket!! You will get shocked lol..... Ik it wasn't plugged in. :-)

[@Woodsygirl62]

You and Howie are a truly matched set :D That's what I need over my computer area slash crafts slash my space lol Love the shade.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Woodsygirl62 OOOOO!!! Over my computer!! Now THERE is a thought..time to go thrift store hunting!

[@Woodsygirl62]

That's a good idea.--Kim

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

This Old Homestead It was fun!

[@lettuce001]

At 6:59 the insulation on the wires seems to be removed?

[@Betty1Q]

Please let me get this right. It HAS to be lamp cord. Extension Cord will not do.? and I do not have to match any colors with one being Silver and the other copper? Hugs and Thank You and Big Daddy also.

[@planters55]

I like it good job

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Debbie B Thanks!

Jan Coldwater lol thanks for the thumbs up!

[@futbol1972]

I have a pool table light that is wired. I wanted to move pool table a few feet to one side but then the wired pool table light will be off. can I use this kit to move pool table light too. I have an outlet in ceiling. How do I wire this kit to poool table?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I honestly can't say. I would have to have it in front of me to see?

[@deborahlevesque7607]
