Dear site visitors, from the master class presented by the author, you will learn how to independently make a unique and interesting table lamp from copper water pipes and Edison lamps.

Today, the topic of creating all kinds of table lamps and fixtures is quite popular, the main task of their manufacture is of course uniqueness, so that this product is one of a kind. The Loft style is quite fashionable today, but designer products in this style cost a lot of money.

Previously, the cartridge was painted in copper color to combine with the pipe. The wooden stand is covered with stain and varnish.

So, let's look at what exactly will be needed to create a table lamp?

2. copper fittings
3. glue
4. wire

6. lampholder with relay and lamb for adjusting lamp illumination
7. spray paint (copper color)
8. board 13x25x5 cm

Step-by-step instructions for making a table lamp from copper tubes do it yourself.

First of all, prepare all the tools and materials listed so that you have everything at hand and in sight, so as not to miss parts during assembly.Then you need a board measuring 13x25x5 cm, it should be well sanded with sandpaper, and then coated with a stain in several layers with periodic drying of the surface.Then you need to drill a hole with a diameter of 19 mm, but only to the middle of the board.Next, at the end of the board we drill a 6 mm hole for pulling the wire, the holes should be communicating.Pull the wire through the end hole.Screw the adapter into the upper hole with a wrench.We cut the copper tube into parts using a pipe cutter.The length of the blanks should be as follows: 35, 15, 5, 6 cm.Then we drag the wire through a long tube and connect it to the adapter. In this spirit, with the help of fittings, the whole base of the table lamp is assembled.Next, a cartridge is taken and painted with copper paint from a spray can.We disassemble the cartridge and connect the wires.We do not touch the paper spacer, because it serves as an insulator.In the process of assembling the base, the author used special glue for metal surfaces, so that the joints will be much more reliable in place.That’s basically it, the copper tube lamp is ready, you can screw Edison’s lamp.As you can see, a desk lamp or a lamp can easily be made independently and much cheaper than designers will offer you their own products, so this makes sense and motivation for action)
