Luminaria De Coco / Coconut Desk Lamp
Primeiramente vem a matéria prima para o projeto: o côco! Eu o abri com uma serra e lixei sua superfície até ficar bem liso ao toque.
-------------
First comes the raw material for the project: the coconut! I opened it with a saw and sanded the surface until it is smooth to the touch.

Colocacao Da Haste / Placing the Rod
Eu consegui encontrar uma luminária barata (R$10,00) e a comprei para reutilização da haste, anteriormente havia pensado em utilizar um bambu para isto - tendo a vantagem de ser ôco por dentro e permitir a passagem dos fios.
--------------------
I found a cheap lamp ($ 10.00) and bought it for reuse. Had previously thought to use it for a bamboo - taking the advantage of being hollow inside and allow the passage of wires.

Passando Os Fios / Installing the Wires
Passei os fios por dentro da estrutura - lembrando que o fio deverá ir da lâmpada, descer pela haste, passar pelo botão liga/desliga e entao sair para a tomada, ou seja, utilize o tamanho necessário para isso, de acordo com seu desejo.
-----------------------
I installed the wires inside the structure - remembering that the wire will connect to the lamp, down the shaft, passing through the on / off button and then go out to the electrical outlet, so use the size needed for this, according to what you want .

Instalando O Bocal Da Lampada / Installing the Nozzle Lamp
Novamente utilizei partes da luminária que havia comprado. Caso não tivesse este recurso, eu usaria um bocal comum de lâmpada - de cerâmica ou plástico mesmo.
-------------------------
Again I used parts of the desklamp that was purchased. If I did not have this feature, I would use a common nozzle lamp - ceramic or even plastic.

Primeira Demao De Verniz / Lacquer Primer
Utilizei verniz marítimo para dar a primeira demão - já dá pra notar como ficou bem mais apresentável!
-----------------------------------------
I used marine lacquer to give the first coat - can you see how it was more presentable!

Criando a Base / Creating the Base
Para a base, utilizei o metal de um drive de CD-ROM estragado. Removi a lata, medi e fiz os recortes com a furadeira mesmo. Fiz também um furo para parafuso em caso de fixação na parede. Por último, colei uma borracha no fundo.
------------------------
For the base, I used the metal from a CD-ROM spoiled. I removed the plate, measuring, and made the cuts with the drill. I also made a bolt hole for wall mounting. Finally, I glued a rubber on the bottom.

Acabamento / Finish
Depois de tudo montado, apliquei umas duas demãos de verniz para remover os arranhados e marcas de dedo e deixei secar ao sol.
------------------------------------
After all assembled, I applied a couple of coats of lacquer to remove scratches and fingerprints and let dry in the sun.
