really love your videos and especially the music with the videos, sets a really relaxed mood and makes one feel like they are at the beach in hawaii or idk, but was thinking and have you seen the fairy lantern? your glass light here would make a awesome fairy lantern niight light just throwing an idea out their
Just as a tip, you might want to consider sliding something like clear cellophane into the tube, around the light, and you'll get a nice, even refraction for a more even light.
I used similar strip LEDs to replace the trunk light in my Civic. It was conveniently lit in there before, but just enough to see where things are. Now, it's bright enough to see WHAT things are, and is easily bright enough to sort tools, lament the absent jumper cables, etc.
I did three very similar projects for Christmas gifts this past year. I used glass globes and fairy light LED strings. I love the tube with the LEDs inside. Looks great.
Music choice on point mate. Video isn't too long, yet covers everything in solid detail. The lamps have a touch of retro and a touch of modern and seem like they could sit in most modern households and become a talking piece. Mildly jealous of your CNC set-up -_-
Very very very well done on the video. As if I didn't have enough lighting projects to make. Seriously thank you for the inspiration - love the idea to put an LED strip inside the tube. Cheers!
Nice job. When I was watching I was going to comment on the heat build up. I have a little experience with making LED lights, and I dont think people realize the heat output. These new LEDs are much more powerful than conventional LEDs. So I think it was a great idea changing to the strips. I also love the look of the plywood bases. I think plywood often gets overlooked. The stools you did was one of my favorite videos. Keep doing what you do!
All those lamps turned out amazing! I watched your concrete one too. I can't believe they throw out all that glass. I work with molten glass myself because it is fun. I never throw out any leftover glass - already fused or not - I save it all. They should really package and sell it instead of throwing it out. Right now I have more glass scraps than I really need but if I need more I go to my local recycling center and work out a deal to buy some of the broken beer bottle glass they have. - Heidi
Main thing I am concered about is where to get such glass scrap from. As the one you are using looks quite thick and if I just break glass bottles, I don't think it will have same effect.
I think your masonjar lamps are emitting so much light that they actually are freemasonjar lamps. I like the lamps, great effect with the glass. I also liked the music. Nice video.
The led striplights are awesome - i might try and build something like this myself (cept without the woodworking part, as I have no tools for that) but love watching :))
OH great, now I've gotta sell my house and move next to a glass blowing shop! I was just wondering about what the effect would be if you folded the light strip and ran it up in the tube. I'm sure they'd be much brighter, but the light shining thru the colors of glass might be special heh. Great job, now I gotta check out some more of your stuff
Thanks Howard! The lights in the tube worked out great, I was really happy with it. The glass blowing stuff is super impressive, I'm lucky to have them next door
