Today we will build a lamp
Finally, as promised to you!
We don't have a fixed plan yet, only the materials.
Acacia!
And we also have the beloved heart-paper ready!
But I have to say, there went something wrong at the election.
it was almost a serious fraud!
A buddy of me started clicking on one and the same paper over and over.
Becaus he thought it's funny. :-/
But we have a plan for that.
The lamp will get interchangable paper-frames!
At least that's the plan...
So the papers will be interchangable!
So let's get started!
We start cutting the base.
The project is growing by itself!
The lamp will get 4 corner pillars.
-Stefan's cut all the parts for the lamp.
-And for better understanding I will testfit all the pieces now.
Next is to shape the bottom pieces.
After testfitting it all again we think the whole lamp is to chunky.
Therefore I will cut the 4 pillars down to size.
After the pillars are the right size
we can now take care of the top piece.
Up next is the sanding of the pillars for a smooth touch.
Stefan's got the pillars sanded
and we have seen that we have to resize the second bottom plate.
whitch is not a problem.
the recess for the pillars will be cut at the bandsaw.
Now that we have all parts cut...
the next step is to prepare the interchangable paperframes!
done!
at least this part.
Now it's time to get to the point.
THE PAPER!!! Chosen by you!
YES!!! Chosen by YOU ALL! Closely...
The all famous heart-paper, ladies and gentleman!
And I will cut it with 'ye goode olde rock paper scissors - scissors'. :-D
Spray-adhesive.
Next is to cut some feet.
When cutting small pieces at the tablesaw
with a repeated cut technique, or stop-block...
it could get very painful because of the danger of a kickback.
because the stop-block could press the workpiece against the blade
the blade will catch that piece and fire it back towards your face.
therefore i got a little trick for you.
Here's my stop-block...clamp.
this is my workpiece
and now i take this little block
that i can remove BEFORE every cut
So I have the right distance every time
but no danger of a kick-back.
coming up: the electrics.
here we got our nice little oldschool lamp socket.
We tinker a little strain relief.
In movable electrical devices this is a precept!
strain reliefed! :)
Wonderful!
We've straped the lamp together
to find optimal connection-points between the top piece and the pillars.

Hearts!!!
Marble-look!
Lamp: DONE! :-D
This was our co-production, the korean - style lamp!
