The painter's tape on the globe sounds like a great idea. I'm planning on making a second, so I'll try that next time.
As far as cutting the hole in the top of the milk can - do you have any tips?
I'm using an 18V cordless drill with a Milwaukee bi-metal hole saw, but I'm not making much progress.
ETA: Yours looks great BTW and I'm digging the Mickey head by your front door!
Thanks rab 1022. I actually did not cut a hole in the lid for much the same reason you are running in to. I used a hole saw and cut a wooden disk from a piece of 2x6 that would fit inside my post. I bolted the disk to the lid using the hole made by the hole saw. It is easier to drill a hole for a carriage bolt than cutting a large hole using the hole saw.
I then slid the post over the disk and put a couple of screws through the post to hold it to the disk. I am able to take the lamp apart at the lid for transport.
