Drill pilot holes using the No. 61 mini drill bit as indicated on the pattern and attach to the upright with four No. 16 x 3/8" brass escutcheon pins. Prepare the rear panel Slightly round off the outer rear edge with sandpaper. Use the 3/32"-Dia. bit to drill four holes for mounting screws, then drill an appropriate size hole to install the mounting screw for the wire holder. Paint the inside face of this panel white to make it reflect light better. When dry, paint the outside face black. While the paint is drying, fashion the wire holder for the nightlight (see Fig. 1). Refer to the illustrations. Use needle-nose pliers to bend a loop, approximately 7/8"-Dia., to fit around the threaded area of the candelabra socket. Next, make a 90 degree bend. Leave about 1 -3/4" of straight wire and form a "J" bend at the bottom to fit around the mounting screw. Insert the socket from the rear through the hole. Remove the plastic nut from the socket. Place the wire loop around the threaded area of the socket, with the straight section running down behind it, just to the right side of the area where the cord enters the socket. Re-install the plastic nut and tighten to hold the wire in place. The goal is to hold the bulb straight and just slightly away from the . Jim inside face of the rear panel.
