A normal lighter wouldnt work thats why it has to be a windproof one or the ones you use to caramelise sugar used in kitchens as the flame is more focused and gets even hotter i have used one before to melt a small amount of lead in work, its melting point is 320⁰c so it will work, you just dont...

If its a quick fix you want just drill a small hole knock some wood in there like a bit of dowl rod and drill a few shallow spots in the rest of the area then put some filler on the rest of the patch and smooth it over and make sure when you drill the screw for the shelf it goes into the wood...

If it is just a nail going through it you could just clean the area and get a small piece of lead and melt it over the hole using a windproof lighter or one of larger kitchen ones they use to caramelise sugar thats if the water is for outside use if its for water you use yourself you should have...

Sorry I replied to you but it was someone else who mentioned a base on wheels, im still getting used to how this forum works

When you mentioned wheels did you mean so I could adjust the angle of the stand rather than being able to move it on wheels?

Thats a fair point because once a stand is made for it the combined weight would be heavy so maybe a nice set of castor wheels for the base would be a good idea.

I think this the best style of stand to go for but the stand needs to match the industrial look of the light so I think maybe I should go with this style but use steel piping and some joints to get the same sort of result.

I'd like to still have it hanging but I suppose with the length of the chain the stand would need to be about 6-7ft tall so the light isnt too low down, I think if I used a tripod the legs would probably splay out too much for the corner i want it in, I could reduce the size of the chain or even...

I have an industrial type pendent light that I saved from being scrapped and want to turn it into a lamp for the corner of the room but im stuck for ideas on making the stand for it, the light is quite heavy so I suppose it needs a wide or weighted base does anyone have any suggestion on what...
