Great video...I built a similar Japanese temple lamp about a year ago. When I installed the lamp socket support I did not glue it in, instead I used screws this way was easier to install the paper, then screw the support in afterwards. Thanks for the great video!
Beautiful design love the simplicity. I was hoping for a few shots on the rice paper application. Did you wet it when applying? Any chance of a mini tips type video showing how you did do it?
+Brian Prusa It was pretty easy. I didn't wet it. The trickiest part was getting the glue where I wanted it with the paint brush. The paper was cut with a guillotine type slicer. I pushed the paper into the rabbets with a pencil eraser. The last sheet was the hardest to do.
Ist sehr leicht. Reispapier mit Reisleim fest kleben. Nach dem Trocknen das Papier fein mit Wasser einsprühen. Laß es trocknen und das Reispapier ist glatt.
I love shoji lamps.Made a couple small ones and a 2-1/2'x5' one. Learned alot from your demo,it has inspired me to do more and to try more difficult ones.Thank you,sir,for your inspiration!
Beautiful lamp. About 15 years ago I went online to see about buying a pagoda lamp and was astounded at the prices. Most were in the $350-$450 range. So I built my own. I don't know hoe to send a photo or I would. Mine is much more delicate than yours. My posts and rails were only 3/8" square. It's posted on my Facebook page somewhere:) also I used green art glass because I couldn't find any mica sheets for the shades.
Slick, another awesome design and great work as usual. I really like your stop blocks on your router table fence. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
Very nice. I wanna build one of these for my mancave/PC room. Was wondering, I've had issues with glue in the past where it squeezes out, stains don't take to the wood well, even if I wipe the glue with a wet cloth. I always find myself having to lightly sand back and forth at that spot to try and get it to soak in. What do you do to avoid this?
