Sometimes I like a bit of extra light in my shop, but there isn’t always a good place for a lamp. To solve this problem, I devised a holder for a clamp-on lamp that can be placed almost anywhere. The holder is made 3⁄4" plywood. A dado in the mounting plate accepts a small clamping shelf, as you can see above. The clamps grasp the plywood shelf, fitting around the pair of dowels. The dowels keep the lamp from sliding off when you adjust the angle.
