Today, in order to give individuality to the home interior, we use many different design techniques. Often, lighting is a very important part of the decor. Sometimes you just need to add the right lighting element, and immediately everything falls into place. In this article, the author describes a method of manufacturing an original wooden lamp that everyone can make. The work is not difficult, and any untrained person will be able to cope with it.
For the manufacture of this work we need.
Tool:
- ruler;
- scissors for metal;
- hammer;
- a pencil;
- hacksaw op wood;
- clamps;
- grinding tool.
Materials:
- rail with a cross section of 1 x 1cm;
- carpentry glue;
- small nails.
Let's start manufacturing.
We take a rail with a cross section of 1 x 1 cm and cut it into equal parts, in this case the author chose a length of 15 cm, but you can take the size of the rails at your discretion.
In order to prevent the rail from moving during the cut, we fix it with a clamp. We use a hacksaw as a cutting tool.
These should be such blanks.
Next, we take the received parts and put them in the so-called “well”, we build them until we reach the height we need.
Since the ends of the workpieces can be cut unevenly and have defects, we grind them with sandpaper or we use a boron machine with a special grinding nozzle.
We get, approximately, the following.
Then we fix the finished parts to each other with wood glue, while we try to expose them as evenly as possible again in the shape of a "well". In order to avoid any displacements, we put the workpiece under the press and allow the glue to dry.
The next day, we look at what we did.
Since the lamp generates heat, the design of the lamp is best done so that the tree does not come into contact with the lamp. Next, we take a perforated tape, the thickness of which is 0.75 mm, we will mount it from it.
We finish reinforcing the top rails with carnations, since they will have the main load. Then we fasten two strips of tape with the help of small screws.
In order to make the lamp glow a little softer and more pleasant for perception, we make the so-called lampshade-diffuser, use tracing paper, or organza, or other available material. This design will be fireproof, because the lamp will be fixed strictly in the center, and will not come into contact with the inside of the lamp. We check whether everything is qualitatively fixed, nothing should hang out. Next, we put the cartridge on the suspension and clamp it with the clamping ring. We hang the lamp in the right place for us.
As a result of all the actions we get an original and stylish wooden lamp.
If desired, the lamp can be painted in brighter colors.
