I don't remember it being at all difficult and, as I said in an earlier thread, the whole thing was done with a scraper chisel.
We had a long twist drill about which had had a bit of plain bar brazed to the end and this was used in the pillar drill to drill lamps out.
The three-screw plates to mount lamp holders are still available, in fact they are the only type I can find on sale locally.
I still use the centre punch and fish slice I made in metalwork and a bench-hook, which was more re-cycled desk.
