Great Idea Linn - I see where some curves and an adjustable head could really open up some design possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration

Why not use the bandsaw for resawing? That Laguna works great with their Resaw King blade. I own that same bandsaw, love it! Very cool lamp!

Darbin, u awesome! I'm from Brazil and I fell on your channel through Pinterest, and I can't stop watching! I'm already buying the materials to make this desk light and a lot of other cool things from your channel! My dad plays some electronic stuff, but I've never been much interested. Watching your channel, I wanted to learn more about it and also to plan and do my own projects. Congrats!

This is beautiful Linn! I love the yellow of the wood diffused with the light and the simplicity of it. Those LED strips are really cool, I'll check them out and deff need to finally order your oil polish! You are great! If I had a daughter, I'd like her to be just like you! Feminine, yet sure and capable! Your parents must be very proud of you!

I felt the same when I switched to a temp controlled soldering station from a regular 240v iron. Also when I switched to using the brass 'wool' type tip cleaner rather than a damp sponge (although i still keep a damp sponge still for wiping off too)

Just going to throw my two cents in here! I made some pretty big versions of these for lighting our videos. When soldering on many rows of LED strips I found it much easier not to precut short wires. I found soldering to the strip, then the main wire, then cutting it was a lot easier and way less fiddly -R

This is great! I like the joinery! It's a surprising design since it looks like it's gonna lit itself instead of the table because of the angle, but those LEDs really spread the light. Moonwalk light, very cool!

@darbinorvar 8 жыл бұрын

+Cactus! workshop I know, it's kind of surprising. The light spreads quite far around and illuminates the wood too.
