Want to DIY Sconces

Hubby and I fell in love with a pair of sconces, but we're not loving the price tag (link below).

I have to believe that a skilled DIYer can cobble together something similar for a fraction of that price. My husband is a professional remodeler, and can build just about anything, and I'm not afraid to take a few risks -- but neither of us know anything about lamps. I've found the horns, found the embossed brass banding for the top and tips, found the brass back-plates, and have found several lamp parts web sites that sell what have to be all of the necessary the parts, but have no idea where to begin...

Anyone here know what parts I need to buy, or a web site that comes with a person that can tell me? Or maybe a book about building lamps...?

Here is a link that might be useful: Horn sconces
