Laura´s Industrial Lamps 

Having gone pretty far down the rabbit hole of hobby metal-working and purchased a lathe and mill, I always want to dope-slap myself when I see a real artist get it done with simple tools I had already owned from way back but never thought to put to such use. Nice work.

The brass was such a nice touch, I love her aesthetic

Just watched this on the big screen tv with my little kids. You had them mesmerized.

Hey Laura, I'm needing some additional lighting in my shop. I know this video is 4+ years old but thanks for providing the inspiration with these lamps! I currently do not weld so I have to modify to my abilities and available resources. Keep up the great work and inspiration. Your work is a gift. Prost!!

I LOVE the idea of using an angle grinder in place of a belt sander. Brilliant!

Wow ... Fascinating ... what a beautiful industrial look you put in this piece ... I'm amazed by your incredible videos and projects ... congratulations, you're the best!

The best furnitue and lighting I find on my travels is always made in this way by some person like 70+ years ago. Incredibly happy to see this reemerging!

stuff like this blows my mind. i like this type of creativity

Wow! I love the minimalist use of tools! Most of the makers on RU-vid would have used about $5000 more equipment, but you produced a working scissor linkage with a grinder and a drill press! That takes some skill!

beautiful work that comes from a heart of gold.

I like the method you used to round the corners perfectly.

Just watched this again with my 4 year old daughter, she was quite concerned about your thumb and adores your welding mask.

What a fantastic build! You are one of the most creative and stylish makers on RU-vid.

You have a beautiful eye for style ..design and detail...a polymath in progress..well done.

Hi Laura, loved the build this week, and my wife loved the music choice as she was dancing away! Everyone's happy...lol

Cool lamps! What a treat with new content from you. I always get inspired and creative watching you work! Thanks so much Laura!

Yup! Yup! Sweet Build Big L!!! That's just plain FUNKY FRESH right there! Much Love! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

So well built and well thought out design.

Laura, I am in love with your camera work and how you film with your work as the main subject!

Wow.... 😱 How cool is the entire video, man oh man, now I have that musical loop everywhere I go, or when doing stuff, tnx dear Laura for sharing the magic!!! :D

I have to say since finding this channel 2 days ago I jumped to making things after a nearly decade long drought of ideas thanks for the inspiration! your craftsmanship is fantastic!

You are the DiResta of Germany with out the amazingly overdone product placement. Great design.

Love the cable management. Also the fabric coated flex looks great, after seeing you use it here and Simone use it on her Spool I just want to use it to replace all the cables in my flat.

Beautifully designed and made Laura!

Those lamps are awesome! I'm sure they'll come in handy! So happy the Lincoln Electric gear is already getting a workout. Love the Rosie the Riveter patterned welding helmet too! Nice one, Laura!

i remember making this at school back in the day but with cardboard and a small bulb. This is amazing might redo it in steel as well

i love the style of this lamp

Awesome as always Laura! It's nice to have you back!

Not only did I love the build Laura - but your UP BEAT music as well! Just do NOT UNDERSTAND how anyone would give you a thumbs down on this. Keep up the great work.

Lovely steam punk look with gun blueing patina, & once it's in place it looks like it has always been there: Useful, practical & harmonious. I have used the washer trick for rounding corners, but always by hand file, never occurred to me that a belt sander would as good & much faster: Inspiration & education, thank you!

Great design! Must have taken forever to cut, grind, and sand all of those round edges.

Aha! I finally found where all the traffic to one of my older builds (industrial chain lamp) was coming from. Great work Laura, and thank you for the traffic!

I was so excited when I saw a new video from Laura this morning! Really creative build and awesome filming/music as always. Thanks, Laura!

super badass Laura. in search of a sweet industrial floor lamp for the office so this really had my attention 👊🛠

That moment when You grind edges by a washer is genius!!! Thank You so much!+))

Very nicely done Laura, love the design would love to see more designs like this

I can't believe you don't have more subscribers Laura. Love your channel.

Love it! Another "Bright" idea! Good job!

Well done, even my 14 year old son said it was clever! Missed you last week but I understand and I'm happy for you.

That's really cool , takes pieces of metal and making something functional. It also looks cool , great job .you should sell them .

love it! electrical cord thru the hinges was a nice touch

Another great video! I love the way you put it together! Just a suggestion for when you have to do the same operation to a lot of individual parts (drilling, shaping), stack them and tack them together. While each hole will take longer to drill, it'll cut down your overall time at the drill press and all the holes will be in exactly the same spot (as long as all the parts were lined up when tacked together!) if you tacked at the ends you could start rounding the corners off and then as you get to the final shape, grind off the tacks. That way you wont have burn marks in the middle of your part.

These are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of your work with us, it's inspiring to me as a maker of things and a maker of videos.

Nice idea, Laura. I have in my workshop a bell which I made out of a small disposable propane bottle of the type used in the USA. I cut the bottom off at just the right place (lucky) and it rings very loud and "true". I hang it from a piece of wire through the valve top, which I drilled a hole in. Nice work.

You are incredibly inventive, hats off.

There is a beauty that we can only describe as silence.

Love the music and the craft. Keep up the excellent work

Fantastic Laura! Wow! Beautiful job!

Awesome build! And yet another washer useful tip. Thank you Laura.

Laura has gold hands, continues to amaze us ;-)

Absolutely lovely project!

industrial elegance as usual projects and content keep getting better thank you

Looks beautiful Laura !! I think a hinge at the wall joint could add even more functionality.

To me, this kind of build really is the core of your channel: great edit, innovative and useful designs!

Holy SHit..... they will dig this lamp up in 5000 years and it will still work! very nice indeed

it is very educational to see such a talented person at work. grazie, davvero

The new welding equipment works wonders! Great vid!

You always have the best ideas and music.

i love your works and music.

You always have the best music in your videos.

Awesome lamps, I really like the wiring that looks good left exposed.

Love the lamps. Very cool.

Awesome! Big fan Laura and I'm sure the TV show will be a blast!

simple and functional. i bet if people tried they can make something similar without welds

Real one! Touch and feel confidence

Lovely concept! I like it. Washers in between the arms would prevent scrapping of the black finish on the insides, and auto locking nuts (or clamping them) will provide many more actuations before something gets loose. Also, putting tape around before grinding, protects from unwanted marks. (unless the "quick bad finish" (read in a constructive way) was intended)

Love it! I think this is my favourite project of yours. Very inspiring!

Another freekin awesome idea Laura!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! I almost forgot one of my favorite parts of the vid, the music! It was rad!

Awesome! Love the creative reuse of the gas nozzle covers, and the washer tip for rounding the ends of the steel stock. I can't get enough of that fabric covered insulated cord, use it for everything (so far two pendant lamps and two desk lamps). Can't wait to see what else you make!

Love it Laura. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Wow! Love this one.

I smiled through this entire build, Fantastic job!!

Hey Laura. Missed you for a while there. Good to see you back. And its another cool project. Glad you got to break in that new Lincoln equipment. Turned out great. The purple was the added flair for me. And as always, the production was classic. Great sounds as well. Great job, sweet lady. Troy

Awwwweeeessssoooommmmeee project with killer editing and filming, well freaking done. I love your videos, projects, outlook on life, and the inspiration you are to all makers. THANK YOU

such a clever idea, I wish I had the ability to come up with such cool ideas. I'm able to think on my feet as a welder/fabricator at work to build structural things and such, but artistically not so much. I'm very glad I can get inspiration from you and the other great makers on RU-vid. btw- can't understand anybody considering a👎

They turned out amazing! Really great work Laura!

love the project and it can also be an overhead camera holder very cool well done

Xcellent repurposing, Laura! Beautiful project. 🌈

Hiya, way beyond cool, 1st. rate concept, execution, filming, editing and music! I love the way your mind works, anyone could see the safety covers but you could see the lazy tongue lights. But it's not just seeing it's having the necessary skill set to achieve your goal and then doing so. Keep on trucking Dear Lady, keep showing us the way...Steve

A great project and very cool lamp.

Incredibly organized, thanks for the wonderful video!

you know I started watching you because of your great taste in Music. but i also really love the projects!! Thanks for the videos

Very cool video, beautiful music and amazing lamps

Such an awesome design & execution! You are the best!

Love these lamps!

Wonderful! I would like the wall mount to be able to pivot as well, then it would be perfect for my shop!

Good job on the build and the interesting shots, nice welds too.

Uma super produção Hollywoodiana!!! Very, very nice!!

Beautiful creation. I love your attention to detail with all your builds. Keep up the good work

Love it!!! I like the electric cord used as well. A little splash of color!

I love lamps and these are amazing

Yes I think this is my favorite vid of yours! :)

Very beautiful project Laura...hhmm now i want make some of those too! Good inspiration

Thanks Laura. Nice job! I did not know about that trick with the washer during grinding. So I learned something new today :)

Great project. Loved the lamps. Awesome music.

Very nice desing! I think you can easily make them swivel side to side with a heavy duty hinge on the base.

Keep em coming , very creative Laura. You help me to stay motivated , I'm working on my 4th video . You Rock!!

Great design Laura.

Fantastic design!

Cool build. Thanks for sharing!
