Wooden table lamp

Dear site visitors, from the master class presented by the author, you will learn how to independently make table lamps of an unusual and unique shape do it yourself.

This lamp was created by the author from multilayer plywood, namely, three identical pieces were sawn, then holes were drilled in them along the edges and the inside was cut in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. The edges are machined and carefully sanded with sandpaper. After that, all three workpieces are glued together with carpentry glue, tightened with clamps and left in this position for at least a day. Further, when everything is thoroughly glued together and dries out, it will be necessary to select a groove for laying the electric wire, this is done using a milling cutter. An LED lamp in the form of a washer will be installed in the upper part, a hole must also be made under it, as well as a cavity in the wood for the switch insert (on-off)

After all the operations done, an electric wire is laid, a lamp and a switch are installed, and then the case is laminated with a special film that imitates a tree pattern, cut strips of size are applied to the surface and smoothed with a hot iron. The stand is also made of wood and harmoniously fits into the concept of the lamp.

And so, let's look at how the author managed to make such an unusual table lamp.

Step-by-step instructions for making a table lamp made of wood with your own hands.

The first step was to find suitable pieces of plywood from scraps after previous work, because it makes no sense to dissolve whole sheets, and we get the double benefit of “waste to income”. The author uses the old metal bucket to mark out the outline of its bottom.Then he cuts the workpiece.Rounds corners of workpieces.Double-sided tape is glued at the edges to glue another workpiece and round the corners along the contour.The edges are machined on a milling machine.When working, be sure to observe safety measures and personal protection. Drill holes at the edges.Saw the inside out with a jigsaw.We grind and process the edges.We coat the resulting blanks with carpentry glue and collect in an even pile, then tighten with clamps and leave to dry for 24 hours. After that, a groove is selected in the housing with the help of a router for laying the electric wire, as well as a switch and an LED lamp.After that, the case is glued with a special film simulating the texture and pattern of a tree, strips are cut out and glued with a heated iron.Here is such a wonderful table lamp as a result of the author's work. The material for the case was used from scraps from the previous work, so it can be considered free, and the length of wire, lamp, switch and some film are not so much. Such a thing can be considered unique, but in our difficult time it is very important. It turned out to be quite budgetary for costs, but you can sell it already as a designer handmade item. Manual labor is always held in high esteem and paid accordingly.
