First we had this old can laying around that we thought would make a good base.
I ordered some globes form the Home Depot, 1 12" and 2 6" globes. And
Dry Fit
All glued up. I used Loctite adhesive at first but I took off the tape to early and one of my ears fell off. I then used some Liquid Nails clear silicon which was thicker than the Loctite and I think was easier to work with. It is clear and UV rated so it should hold up well.
Here is the base after I applied a base coat of paint. I installed an outlet box. My idea is that there will be a switch for the lamp as well as an additional outlet that I can use for plugging in other stuff. 
This is as far as I made it this weekend. It was to cold to do any more painting. I found an old metal table that I cut a hole in and thought would make a good table top for the base. I am using 2" abs for the lamp post. But you can start to see what the finished product will look like.
