I like this lamp from a strainer and an old book very much, too.
It must give a beautiful light and if you – as said in the instruction – use a bulb that doesn’t get too hot there really shouldn’t be any problems.
And if you don’t like the lamp so much: I compiled a lot of other instructions for lamps made from a lot of things ;-))
