Step One: Handset
The first step, to give shape, the author wraps a copper tube on a can of paint.
Flares the lower edge of the tube. Paints metal stripes. After the paint dries, the upper edge of the tube is threaded into the lower hole of the metal strip. "Twists" a strip on a tube. Performs the same operation with the remaining three lanes. Then flares the upper edge of the tube.
Step Two: Drives
A compass on the board marks two circles. The diameter of the circles is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylinder from the copper tube. Cuts disks. Drills bolt holes along the edge. On the plane of the disc, it selects a groove along the diameter of the PVC pipe.
Covers discs with stain.
Grinding disc centers. On the bottom selects a groove under the wire. Selects grooves for metal plates.
Step Three: Install LED Strip
At the bottom of the PVC pipe, it drills holes and draws a power wire through it. Wraps LED strip on the pipe. Tape winds tightly to each other. Fixes with hot glue.
Step Four: Build
Assembles a stand. A PVC pipe with LEDs is installed in the middle of the structure from a copper tube. Above sets a second wooden disk. Fixes the stand with bolts.
The lamp stand is ready. It remains to install such a lamp on it.
Or such.
