Pulley Light from This Old House

A few months ago we put Dan's electrical skills to the test in an attempt to make our own Wall Mount Pulley Light, inspired by a how-to we'd seen in This Old House.  We were amazed to see the article, having almost the exact same brace and pulley already on hand (hand-me-down's from Dan's parents and grandparents).  After we secured the brace to the wall and hung the pulley with some twine, we bought a swag light kit at Home Depot that was really quite simple to get working.  We threaded it through the pulley, screwed in our new favorite, a decorative Edison lightbulb, and were pretty impressed with our final product.
