Well, on the lamp I built I used a hollow threaded rod. It allowed me
to attach the lamp assembly firmly to the rod then I screwed the rod
into the opening of wood lamp body. If it ever comes loose I can
always glue the rod into the lamp. the cord tube doesn't go all the
way through the lamp part of it is plain wood. Since I didn't make
the lamp hollow like a bowl or narrow necjk vase the entire tube is
not needed to guide the cord through the lamp. All I bought for the
lamp was the actual lamp ficture, the hollow threaded rod, and a
doaner extention cord. I cut off the multi plug end and attached it
to the lamp assembly after threading it through my turned body and the
section of hollow rod I used. I connected everything up and carefully
plugged in the lamp. It worked.

How will you secure the metal cord tube?

I mae a lamp by gluing stock together and leaving a square open the
entire length.
