This week I’m making….another lamp!

I’m thinking of making an hourglass with 2 bulbs that rotates from the center using a slip ring.

Still have to figure out the center attachment and how that rotates. Plus how I’m getting the bulbs in there.

Might scrap the rotating in favor of figuring out a repeatable way to attach the bulbs. Last weeks lamp took over an hour just to get the dang bulb in place so I’d rather not repeat that.

Taking a different direction, last week I designed and printed this lamp.

Yes, even the lampshade is printed. Vase mode is pretty cool but there were definitely some issues in the surface finish. Plus the dang thing broke while attaching the lightbulb so I had to solder the layers back together. 😅

That last one was made with concrete + rebar. Oh and some sand for the void space where the light bulb is. Looks sick at night or in a dark room
Soooo I’ve been making lamps recently and have been slacking on the whole, post what you make part. So here are some snippets!

Soooo I’ve committed to posting a new project every week.

I’m still waiting for this first one to dry so here’s a teaser!

Hacking on an LED board tonight.

Note to self….don’t look directly into the light…or else pain….
