I love the aestetics of your lamp. Since these lamps are more for decoration and background lighting, the intense white light is bad. I am also very fond of wood, and the white finish of the bought lamp makes it look like it might as well have been made of plastic (and not the fancy kind). Seeing the wood grain in that coloured light was beautiful.

I've fallen down a puzzle box/ secret compartment box rabbit hole lately and now I need to see my favorite makers come up with one! You could even both make separate ones and try to solve each others!

Love this!!! Yes more Buy vs DIY videos please! I agree that having the workshop set up and easy to use (unlike my hot mess of tools and supplies) cuts down on the hours - I love seeing some real life DIY time estimates though! That can be so hard to predict

@EvanAndKatelyn 4 жыл бұрын

Hmm probably took a few hours of active time? It's hard for us to measure too because we're also filming, which makes everything take a lot longer 😅

I think one of those diffusing sheets of plastic could add a lot to your diy lamp, it would make the light softer and more evenly spread. Plus if you put on over the top too you can hide the sight of the led strips inside.

I loved this! Definitely would love more videos like this along with your usual amazing content!!! Also I think it would be so cool to make another one of these and make the front slot colored resin, and then just have a really bright light inside lol

I think the diy is the best. Not only is it taller and cheaper but I like how the grain of the wood stands out.

It might be my pet peeve but, Am I the only one who is stressed about the fact that they didn’t turn off the lights to see the lights from the lamps?

I actually like your DIY lamp more, because the wood looks nicer and even when the light is on you can see the wood structure on the inside of the lamp. But everyone's different, you guys definetly did a great job - as always :)

Something to try! Go to goodwill (or craigslist) for old LCD or LED monitors for the light diffusers! You could make a lamp with RGV lights and diffuse them for a more natural look. DIY Perks has a great video on it.
