DIY Battery Powered LED Task Light -- Design No. 2 -- Woodworking

In this video I build a custom LED Task Light that folds up to store away when not in use.
I built two different light fixtures this week. The lamp featured in this video is made using organic curves, and I'm able to test out many different techniques like bent lamination, making wooden hinges, and constructing sliding mechanics.
If you have any question, feel free to ask in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!

Hi, that lamp came out beautiful Michael. At the end when you were writing in your notebook under the ambiance of the lamp i had thought to myself. Is he figuring out how many hundreds of dollars he would have to charge per lamp to make it worth while. ..lol it did seem like you might have had quite a few hours into that build. Albeit beautiful, might not make sense to try and sell them. Which is unfortunate cause i think you would have more then a few customers. Myself included. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing ☺

I just watched both of the lamp videos. The designs, woodwork and camera work were all excellent in both. The need for me to keep adjusting the volume way down when the music with the loud bass beat came on and back up when you started to speak was quite annoying however.

Hi Great lamp, do you have the plans to download including the stl file for the holder, it would be much appreciated if you have.

@pilldoktor 5 жыл бұрын

Great project. I’m going to try to make something similar for my mom as I have a few of those same led lights. Do you think it would be possible to have the two pieces that slide to be connected using a sliding dovetail? Or would the imperfections of the two dissimilar arcs cause it to jam?

@MichaelAlm 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Christopher! It's funny you say that, because my original plan was to do a dovetail. I just couldn't figure out an effective way to make and accurate cut on such small curved pieces. If you figure out a way, please let me know. Also, let me know how your lamp turns out!

@wilhelmtaylor9863 2 жыл бұрын

After that romantic intro I was expecting to see little tiny button-cell lights appear. I like this design more than the concrete version. Thanks. btw, I would love to know how an arc is different from the "edge of" a circle. I think you have something in mind but my math brain isn't getting it.

Thanks Justin! That was a bit of work, and I didn't share it in the video, because I thought it'd get a little too deep in the weeds. I used Fusion 360 to model it and watched 3 or 4 videos on how to make threads. A set of digital calipers were key. To my surprise they fit on the first print.
