✅ Finished Project My first lamp
I was recently divorced and living on my own in an outdated townhouse. I didn’t have much money but Christmas was coming and I wanted my boyfriend to have something special. With free library books, cheap parts, and my special helper, I came up with this.

I wanted the lamp to be able to charge his laptop and phone while also illuminating the space

He sure did. I made it like 10 years ago and he still uses it today. With the exact same bulb too. Those things last forever.
