In this article, the author of the YouTube channel "George Kosilov" will tell you how he made a stylish lamp out of fixtures.
This is a very simple homemade product, but requires certain skills to work with the welding machine.
Materials
- Armature 8 mm in diameter
- Lamp holder
- Light
- Chrome chain
- Black matte spray paint
- Housing from shock absorber
- Power wire.
Instruments, used by the author.
- Bulgarian
- Welding machine
- pliers
- Cleaning flap and grinding wheels
- Crosshead screwdriver.
Manufacturing process.
First of all, the author cuts 8 mm reinforcement into pieces 120 mm long. Then he joked of course, pretended to have broken her hands. Naturally, he used a grinder. In total, 15 such blanks are needed, and the more precisely they are cut, the less problems there will be during welding.
Then the author made a simple conductor, and welded several triangles.
Now it continues to assemble the body already in volume.
And other elements are welded together.
Further, a piece along the length of the cartridge is cut off from the shock absorber body.
Now welds to the main body. But the length of the reinforcement segments is now not 120, but 100 mm.
The author thoroughly boiled and cleaned all the connections with a grinder with a petal disk.
Now it is possible to paint with spray black matte paint.
In addition, the author added a washer to which the cartridge will be attached, and welded a loop.
Inserts a cartridge in its place and fastens.
Ceramic cartridges are very fragile, be careful when installing.
Having unbent the last link of the chain, puts it on the eyelet and clamps it back.
Passes the wire through the links of the chain, and installs an LED light bulb.
This is how the lamp looks with this light.
The author decided to try another light bulb, it has a warmer light of 3,500 degrees Kelvin.
Thanks to the author for an interesting design decision!
Good mood and good luck to everyone!
