A snapshot of the materials before they are turned into a functional lamp

Materials and result of the first prototype.

The lamp shade rolling tabs did not work very well on the first prototype.  The tab and the slots were removed on the final version to allow for easier assembly.

The bulb could wobble around pretty easily in version 1.  This let me know that I need another spacer to keep the bulb centered and rigid.

It's a little hard to see through

The first parts cut-out for the final design

Went together quite well.  I had to trim a little material off of the slots to allow for enough room to fit the telescope body into.

To start assembly I put all of the rings onto one of the spars

All of the other spars were inserted next.  The body is very sturdy.

The stand slides onto the body and grips quite tightly

I had to tape the paper down because parts were getting blown away by the ventilation fan.

Final Assembly!

I did this in order to slide the shades into the body of the telescope

The order of operations was very important here to ensure that I could get the bulb in with the cord in the middle of the shades.
