Step One: Pipe
The master makes a rack from a PVC pipe. First you need to give the pipe the desired shape. On the desktop, the author draws the desired shape in full size. On the inside and outside of the picture installs dowels. Seals one edge of the pipe with adhesive tape. Heats sand in a metal container. A funnel is placed in the second end of the pipe and sand is falling asleep. Seals the second end of the pipe. It bends the tube and places it between the dowels. Leaves it to cool.
Below you can watch a video on how to bend a PVC pipe in more detail.
Step Two: Wooden Parts
From a nut cuts out two round details. One for the base, another for the ceiling. Grinds them. In the center, drills a hole along the diameter of the tube.
In the ceiling, makes a selection for the LED strip and the installation of the diffuser.
At the base, drills a hole for the toggle switch. On the back side makes a sample for the installation of electrical parts.
Step Three: Diffuser and LED Strip
Cuts off the LED strip of the desired length. Solder wires to it. Sticks it. The other end of the wire pulls through the tube. Cuts a circular diffuser from polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is transparent, in order for it to scatter light, you need to grind its flat part with sandpaper. Installs a diffuser.
Step four: painting
Installs the tube in the holes of the base and shade. She covers them with paper. Stains.
Stains and then glues a wooden ring. The ring covers the edge of the diffuser.
Cuts four rings from a larger diameter PVC pipe. It paints and glues them on top and bottom of the lamp post.
Step Five: Toggle Switch
Sets the toggle switch. Mounts wires.
Sixth step: backing and varnishing
Cuts out of leather and glues a substrate under the base.
Covers wooden parts with shellac.
The table lamp is ready. The manufacturing process can be viewed in detail in the video.
