It is not known how such an idea as the construction of a lamp in the shape of a hand came to people’s heads. But the fact remains that it is very original, beautiful and creative. That is why it is worth a try and you do it yourself.
A project of this kind can be done in just one day. In order to make such a lamp here, you will need some modern skills, as well as know how the soldering process is carried out.
That's all. Basically, you can start.
Step 1: What is needed for this?
• About 0.6 kg of alginate (it is easiest to get one in a specialized store).
• Gypsum or alabaster
• Specialized containers so that you can mix as well as create shapes.
• Special lamp holder.
• Posting
• Epoxy resin.
The tools you need:
• In order to stir the mixture, you need a stick, it can be made of wood, only very strong.
• Knife.
• Equipment for soldering.
• Nippers
• Any fastenings. Even electrical tape will do
Step 2: Use Alginate
First, you need to create the shape of a hand, since the lamp will be of this shape. For this purpose, alginate is also needed. Mix it with some water to a mass of sour cream. All this needs to be done at a fast pace. This is because alginate hardens very quickly.
When the alginate takes shape, and it takes about six minutes, you can pull your hand out.
Step 3: Applying Gypsum
Here, you need to apply gypsum. Mix two glasses of gypsum with water and begin the process of pouring the mold. In the end, let the gypsum stick very firmly. And now, a copy of the hand is ready. Next, try inserting a cartridge into your mold.
Step 4: soldering time
Well, now, you need to attach the wiring to the cartridge. All this is done quickly and easily.
Step 5: Fasten the cartridge in your hand
At this stage, fasten the cartridge using epoxy resin. Just coat the inside of the arm with resin and immediately press the cartridge. During this time, the resin should dry completely.
Such work will bring you a sea of pleasure and bliss. That is why, try to make such a lamp with your own hands.
