Video on the making of a right-shaped pendant light with LED strips and reclaimed hardwood. End music : Walter Murphy, Rhapsody in Blue My Instagram : / oyymof
I'm a big fan of seeing craftsmen when they have an affinity for a particular tool, machine or skill… You sir have gone to the no.1 spot for most in tune with their router… and such a basic one too!
Очень интересная идея и видно автор старался, хотя и видно что до конца не все продумал. главный минус не продуман вопрос эмиссии тепла от светодиодной ленты, я бы предложил алюминиевый профиль под основание ленты и сама лента должна плотно прилегать к основанию и не висеть в воздухе. А в целом новая идея - мне очень понравилось. Молодец!!
Finally, a RU-vidr who knows how to make a perfect video. Also, friggin' hilarious. The sawdust angle had diet Pepsi squirting out my nose. Outstanding work. Cheers!
Amazed at how much I liked the lamp! Does it only have white LEDs? And man, it seems like a LOT of work to get there. Lastly I have never seen anyone so retentive about sawdust! LOL
Very cool..some great ideas for using the router. Hope you get sponsored buy a dust colloction company. FYI. You do get LED srtips that are made for sticking around a curve.
Nice video. How did you insulate the electrical connection - I may have missed something but it looked like power was supplied to the LEDs on the bare wire suspension cables (presumably at low voltage).
Thank you ! The suspension cables are actually covered in a transparent nylon layer which provide insulation. However, the voltage is indeed very low (12v) so it would be safe either way
Thank you very much ! It took approximately 4-5 days to make, but a lot of that time was waiting for the glue to dry. The electricity does indeed go through two of the holding wires, but it is perfectly safe, as it is only 12v (and the wires have a thin clear plastic coating). And I'm from France !
This question is asked elsewhere, but, yes, the power is passed over the hanging cables. It’s only 12V so it isn’t dangerous and the cables themselves have a thin plastic coating as well. It’s done the same way in similar commercially-produced lamps. You can see the 12V connection being made to the cable ferrules around 15:00.
Hi ! I bought this string system on Amazon if I recall correctly. Two of the strings are indeed passing current, but it is entirely safe as it is only 12 volts.
Any chance you could link to the products you used? I’m in particular curious about the led strips, the suspension/wires, and the transformer/inverter/controller... also, one thing I noticed: you filled some of the joints after glueing it together. The ‘clean’ way would be to not lift the blade (so that is is only slightly higher than the working piece) up as much when sawing, and have the pushing part that is behind the angled piece almost touching the blade, thus stopping the fibres ripping out in the back.
Hi ! Thanks for the advice ! I have a miter saw now, it's much more precise. The led strip is a 12v, 3000k, v2835, 60 LEDs/m dimmable strip. The transformer is a 30W, 2.5A 12V varicart LED driver. You might have to take a higher wattage depending on the lenght of led strip you intend to use. Both of these i bought off Amazon and am really satisfied with. The smart switch, I wouldn't recommend as I had some problems with it (and my lamp design made it difficult to access to reset). Beyond that, I am sorry to say that I can't find the references of the suspension wires again, but I also bought them on amazon. Good luck !
Hi, great design! But too much work for me (and not enough tools)... 🙈 I'd really love too use similar wiring for my own build, but I'm having a hard time finding the wires and connectors. Not even sure how it's called (low voltage wiring...?) and how too search for it. I found one reseller that has Teflon/FPE cables, they seem very similar too what you're using. But I've no info beyond that, not even how they would be connected. They don't sell the cable connectors your using either. If you'd be able too provide any info on the wiring part it would be greatly appreciated!
Hi ! I also had trouble finding them so I'm not sure what they are really called either. That said, I think they are not sold as some kind of electrical wiring, but just as "suspension cables" (I used them to pas the low-voltage current anyway). I couldn't find them at any hardware store, so I bought them on amazon, but I'm still not sure what the name was...
Loved the idea but less process more cleaning in the video ,can u make again a detailed video on this one ... it is very hard to stay focused --- how did you hanged this to the wall
Voice over, even text laid onto the scenes would make this a much more informative video. Had I not already done many of those steps in other, separate projects, I might not know what you're doing, or how. This is little more than boasting about how good a carpenter you are. and you most certainly are not a bad one. But you could be a much better teacher.
Thank you fror your constructive criticism. I am aware that the lack of explanations can be annoying, but it was initially an attempt to do something different from most video tutorial. I thought it could be interesting in a "what is he doing now ?" kind of way... That said, I added text explanations in the videos I made after this one, so I hear you.
Je suis menuisier je pense m'inspirer de votre ouvrage, mais j'aimerais en savoir plus sur les câbles qui soutiennent et alimentent le ruban led. Cordialement
@@tataoui2101 Ce sont des cables de suspension en acier. Il ne sont à la base pas particulièrement fait pour conduire de l'électricité, mais cela ne pose pas de danger car la tension est faible (12V). Ce type de câbles sont généralement recouverts d'une gaine en nylon, il a donc fallu dénuder l'extrémité au niveau de l'accroche dans les deux câbles qui servent à conduire le courant. Ce système est très pratique car l'on peut régler la longueur de cable facilement au niveau d'un des point d'encrage, mais je ne sais pas si ils sont capables de supporter un très grand poids. Je n'avais pas trouvé de kit d'accrochage de ce type en magasin de bricolage, j'ai donc du les commander sur Amazon. N'hésitez pas à me demander si vous avez d'autres questions ! Bonne soirée
Why not glue the boards together and cut the circles out of those Instead of of cutting them into pieces and go through all the trouble of gluing and routing
Дабы кому-то рассказывать о качестве, может своим творением "похвастаетесь" - продемонстрируете! Конечно не идеально сделано, но учитывая(что для себя) очень даже хорошо! Ведь с чего-то надо начинать.
