Great Idea Linn - I see where some curves and an adjustable head could really open up some design possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration

@Nighthawkinlight 8 лет назад

Great channel, I'll be following your future projects.

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

Thanks! I've been a big fan of your channel.

@danielburnett753 7 лет назад

The joy you have for your project is obvious when you flipped the switch the first time. Great job keep it up.

@dennismacapagal2664 7 лет назад

the prettiest, smartest woodworker i recently met in youtube is you! Subscribed till death! Wish you all of the best in health and in tools to come your shop.

Why not use the bandsaw for resawing? That Laguna works great with their Resaw King blade. I own that same bandsaw, love it! Very cool lamp!

@MakeTestBattle 8 лет назад

Just going to throw my two cents in here! I made some pretty big versions of these for lighting our videos. When soldering on many rows of LED strips I found it much easier not to precut short wires. I found soldering to the strip, then the main wire, then cutting it was a lot easier and way less fiddly -R

@MakeitExtreme 8 лет назад

Very nice! Great job Linn! :)

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

+Make it Extreme Thank you!

@dka0700 8 лет назад

Safety glasses while soldering and a new iron. Addresses my two concerns from previous soldering projects. Very nice. Great lamp BTW. Inspires me to build my own. Thank you. Regards, Dave K

@mike48632 7 лет назад

That is so cool and looks easy to do, I love the LED lights so much more than the florescent since they use less electricity.

@gospelrevolution4329 8 лет назад

amazing project idea, cost effective and overall looks really good. Thanks for sharing this as it has helped me to understand more of how things work

@michaelp9356 8 лет назад

Just found your channel and subscribed almost immediately, the diversity in your projects is awesome

@lediabolique5822 8 лет назад

Clean & elegant design. Nice job!

@TheChipmunk2008 8 лет назад

I felt the same when I switched to a temp controlled soldering station from a regular 240v iron. Also when I switched to using the brass 'wool' type tip cleaner rather than a damp sponge (although i still keep a damp sponge still for wiping off too)

@crolodon8024 8 лет назад

This light is sweeeeet! Nice power rails, clean looking and effective.

@akulm1829 8 лет назад

You are just great explaining your project. Thanks for the inspiration. Those LED stripes seem to be very versatile.

@blackswanprepping8827 8 лет назад

Really neat! Perfect for some nighttime reading!

@MarkByrne1965 8 лет назад

What a cool lamp! Enjoyed watching you put it together, you clearly love what you do. Very well done! Subscribed :)

@artfaria 7 лет назад

Darbin, u awesome! I'm from Brazil and I fell on your channel through Pinterest, and I can't stop watching! I'm already buying the materials to make this desk light and a lot of other cool things from your channel! My dad plays some electronic stuff, but I've never been much interested. Watching your channel, I wanted to learn more about it and also to plan and do my own projects. Congrats!

@proyectosledar 8 лет назад

Nice work!!!

@olivewalker9628 8 лет назад

Cool Project. I had made one of these but it was a bit big and bulky. Very cool for my study. I did buy another Lumiy Lightline 1250 LED desk lamp. Very compact and bright.

@guillermoip 7 лет назад

Really cool! You nailed it! Though i would have loved the remote on top. Keep it up! U r wonderful.

@Sebastopolmark 8 лет назад

GREAT project Linn. I like the design and is has many options. Thanks for listing the parts and resource for your builds. That helps a lot should we decide to build it.

@scottcornelius7441 8 лет назад

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing your projects.

@jeffreyleonard1076 8 лет назад

I like the exposed wiring and LED strips. I think id have just recessed them a tiny bit. Other than that I may make my own I like the style of this.

@kevindrucbert7585 8 лет назад

Magnifique ! Many great projects, very interested by this one and the desktop air purifer! Good continuation from France.

@Cactusworkshopchannel 8 лет назад

This is great! I like the joinery! It's a surprising design since it looks like it's gonna lit itself instead of the table because of the angle, but those LEDs really spread the light. Moonwalk light, very cool!

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

+Cactus! workshop I know, it's kind of surprising. The light spreads quite far around and illuminates the wood too.

@jeremybrews2521 8 лет назад

I like it. Keep up the good work.

@netdad78 8 лет назад

I love your work Darbin. Good job.

@resbalonso 8 лет назад

I just lit up a cabinet using a very similar light strip (perhaps the same kind, LE from Amazon, but that's not important). However, I had the hardest time soldering wire onto them. I wasn't always able to tin the contacts on the strip, and even when I could then the solder would come of when joining the tinned wire... I got great pointers looking at you work. I have a vintage lamp that I'm thinking about retrofitting with LED, which I'll do just as you did. Thanks!

@SMustafaSabir 8 лет назад

You seem like a very selfless, giving and caring type of person, awesome work :)

@onesagotoomany 8 лет назад

Nice job - I just bought a Hakko FX888 too, and you're right, it is a superb tool. Couldn't tell if you're using the stock iron bit (the tiny cone), I ended up buying a chisel tip which makes it even better, especially for bigger components.

@mrdrizz9270 8 лет назад

@LuisAngel-hx9wn 8 лет назад

awsome table lamp, you really explane everything so calm, great work. :-)

@TR4zest 8 лет назад

Nice lamp. I will adapt this. I expected you to make a fillet to conceal the wire down the back of the vertical panel. I might do that. Thanks for sharing.

@craigpereira6381 8 лет назад

Very cool. Like the remote idea.

@GCSol 8 лет назад

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

+Marie Meyer Thanks a lot Marie :)

@surajitbiswas6292 3 года назад

Very innovative. I really appreciate sharing your ideas with the DIY community. About this particular project, I would suggest covering the led terminals and wiring to improve user experience and safety. Although it's merely 12 V DC, there is a chance for a short-circuit. Also, concealing the wires at the back with a thin sheet of wood of the same texture would be nice to have.

@pikifrino 7 лет назад

Thxs once again. U dont only look+sound nice but u also do very nice projects!

@matthieu168 8 лет назад

Beautiful lamp. The light washes on the wood very nicely.

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

+Edward Iglesias Thanks Edward!

@Traderjoe 8 лет назад

This is beautiful Linn! I love the yellow of the wood diffused with the light and the simplicity of it. Those LED strips are really cool, I'll check them out and deff need to finally order your oil polish! You are great! If I had a daughter, I'd like her to be just like you! Feminine, yet sure and capable! Your parents must be very proud of you!

@darbinorvar 8 лет назад

+traderjoes Thanks for the very nice comment - I really appreciate it :)

@WigWagWorkshop 8 лет назад

Awesome project! I found a cool tip, instead of using that long wire, you use copper tape has the bus. I used the copper tape method on my model railroad, to add the LED accent lighting to the model buildings, street lights and signal lights.

@ismaelshameemetowar4695 8 лет назад

Lovely project. Thank you for sharing :)

@Karaon 8 лет назад

@jimic1972 8 лет назад

Great work. Always and inspiration to watch your videos and work. I like that you mix electric and electronics to wood work. Greetings from Chile.

@kevculmstock1 7 лет назад

I like your style Lynn.

@loskop100 8 лет назад

Excellent work, now all you have to do is route out the base and add an Arduino Nano and an HC-06 and then you can use your phone instead of a another wandering remote then you could also use addressable RGBs, flash to music...the fun never ends, love all your vids.

@HelmetsMotoClub 8 лет назад

cool project

@aldopopp 8 лет назад

you got a new subscriber from instructables(me), great work!!! i'm working on a really similar project, really like this design, might be changing to this one haha

@GodzillaB210 8 лет назад

I have that same soldering iron, I agree its like a gift from heaven, so nice! If I might recommend, get yourself a heat gun to do your heat shrink. I got one from Harbor Freight on the cheap and it works perfectly.

@tyreldelaney 7 лет назад

Great project!

@MattKnowsThat 8 лет назад

Very nice Linn. Have you seen the little gizmos you can add to any lamp that turn them into a touch lamp? I buy the little control boxes for those at Lowes and they really add a neat feature if you have a metal spot to touch for the on/off switch. I envision your desk lamp with a penny inlaid into the base (with the year you made the lamp of course) and wiring that to the touch switch so that when you touch the penny, the light comes on!

@RedOni87 7 лет назад

Good work, and nice DIY.

@donwyates 7 лет назад

Very nice. I've watched several of your videos, and this being the most recent. I've always wanted to make a lamp, though I mostly work in wood, I've wanted to incorporate other materials... concrete, kevlar, carbon fiber tubes, wood, bamboo, stone, metal, hemp, etc. The LEDs you've used are of great interest to me as well.The options seem almost limitless. Also, I'd like to say, I admire your style - your videos seem very thorough with just the right amount of detail, and at a good pace. Your personality is perfect for this. Also, I'm pretty jealous of your soldering bench - did you make that?

@darbinorvar 7 лет назад

Thanks for the nice comment :)

@isegrim1978 8 лет назад

Oh, this gives me some ideas how to mod your design... thank you! How about replacing the velcro wit a small magnet? It should be able to hold onto the battery of the remote.

@Rachel-ls3ln 8 лет назад

On the next one it would be cool if it was adjustable to shine light on differnt Angels

@DCEnterprise2005 8 лет назад

I was hoping to see a celebration dance as soon as you flipped on the light after soldering. The kind where you stomp your feet real fast and punch your fists in the air 😆👏🏼
