Well I’m new at it so I’m hoping it’ll get some attention. Thanks so much for the compliment! And if you do make it, share on IG and let me see your work! My IG is @thewoodenhobbyist
@@TheWoodenHobbyist In time it will 💯 Have looked at various diy floor lamp videos and your way of explaining things helps those who are at many levels, as long as people come to watch the video with a learning mind set (not directed at any given level experience wise). I am only 3 minutes and 26 seconds into this video, yet to see the finished product, the extra steps you have taken help a beginner to understand what it actually takes to achieve high standards as I wondered what I would need to drill through long lengths of wood and how to hide the cord as I have cats who will play with almost anything 😂 This video popped up in the top 10 so you are headed in the right direction. I will send some of your videos to my dad as he has a shed setup to do wood work/repairs as I am only a beginner it's a good idea to show my dad instead of try to explain it, cheers for the excellent video content and your teaching methods 👍
Thanks a lot! It’s made it’s final home next to my video editing desk. I’m currently making another which should be posted next week. I appreciate you taking a gander at the video!
I suppose you could make the groove bigger but I’ve had no issues with this since I’ve made it and use it daily. It takes a lot of heat / flame to catch wood on fire. There are techniques where people torch wood for protection and it doesn’t full blown burn. My point is, I’m no expert in science, but I’m confident it’s safe as many lamps have wires running through grooves…now if the wire was exposed through the protective shielding, I’d be a bit concerned.
Did those joints fail yet? It’s a cool design and the end result looks good, but given your experience and tools available, i find it hard to believe you couldn’t get more creative with the joinery.
Yep they’re holding up today! They don’t hold a lot of weight. And you’re right, I’ve contemplated different ways on the joinery for this…like floating tenons with channels drilled through, but…it wasn’t needed at the time. I guess we will see in another year! Lol
I guess we can all make things hard on ourselves 🤷🏻♂️ before I bought the fancier tools I always found my way around a project with a table saw and chop saw and hand tools.
