Dear visitors of the site, from the master class presented by the author, you will learn how to independently make a unique lamp with an Edison retro lamp.

Lamp made do it yourself It will look very good in the room, especially if it is made in retro style using an Edison lamp.

The device of this lamp is very simple, namely, the author took a wooden beam (cedar) 10x10 cm, sawed off the excess, polished the surface with sandpaper. Then I drilled 2 holes of 35 mm, one through, and the second to half the bar, in these holes there will be a porcelain cartridge and a toggle switch for turning it on and off. lamps. A groove is made in the lower part to hide the wires, after which it is sealed with a cloth or a thick adhesive tape so as not to scratch the surface on which the lamp will be installed.

Step-by-step instructions for making a table lamp with an Edison lamp with your own hands.

Edison's lamp is the first incandescent lamp in the World that has received wide acclaim and application. Thomas Edison made electricity available to every resident. As he said, "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."

Today we do not betray special significance to electricity, but simply use it for granted. But the current generation is increasingly interested in history and is trying to bring a piece of the past into its world and the corner of its room, as a reminder of the beginning of the great path of electricity.

And so, the first thing to do is to prepare all the necessary materials so that everything is at hand in the process of work.Then a wooden beam is taken and sawn to the optimum size.Be sure to carefully sanded with a grinder or sandpaper.We make markings for the holes.We drill 2 holes with a diameter of 35 mm, for the installation of a porcelain cartridge and a toggle switch. One hole should be through, and the second not to the end.And so, we have 2 holes.The first is through, and the second is not fully drilled, because a toggle switch will be installed there.Drill under the switch with a conventional drill.To broach the wire, a hole is drilled in the end of the wooden beam.At the bottom, a groove is selected, it is necessary for laying the wire.Set the toggle switch (on-off)A porcelain cartridge is also inserted into the hole.Wires are connected. Joints must be insulated with electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing.We lay the wires in the selected groove of the bottom of the beam.We glue it with tape or cloth so that the lamp does not scratch the surface on which it will be installed.After we screw in the bulb of Edison's lamp.That's all, the do-it-yourself desk lamp is completely ready.As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the manufacture of interesting and unique lamps, the main thing is to come up with a design so that it is one of a kind. Such lamps can be made to order and used as an idea for a small business.
