Hi guys, hope all had a good christmas.
After seeing a piece of driftwood made into a very nice table lamp as a christmas gift it has given me the idea to make a few myself as a hobby and maybe sell them locally.
I live very close to the sea and am sure to be able to source plenty of driftwood, I've found a supplier online where I can purchase some nice chrome or brass lampholders and inline switches for flex.
Now my only concern is the safety aspect, if the switch is turned on and a lamp not in lampholder and a child / dumb adult decides to poke fingers where they shouldn't clearly there is serious danger of a shock.
Where would I stand ???
any help would be greatly appreciated
(Obviously most lamps sold on the mass market present this problem, but just wondering as effectively a diy one man band how I could cover myself)
