If you give the T at the top o the lamp a 90 degree turn forward or backward youll have all the room you need to rplace the bulb-then just turn it back....a safety feature for little one sticking their ands where they don't belong! Good Stuff!

@robsim4692 Жыл бұрын

You know those fittings you screwed in? Well they can also unscrew enough to tilt the bottle so you can add the bulb and then re-tighten however, if you're O.C.D you'll be better suited to take measurements and add the appropriate length extending the bottle freeing up access while also making the entire light symmetrical!

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

You're not wrong. I do need to use large pipe wrenches to unscrew those fittings even that small amount; they are wrenched down real tight! I turned the vertical section on the right so the bottle is more accessible but isn't noticeable from the front. As far as putting in a new piece, I don't have O.C.D., but it would just make the lamp more to what I originally intended it to be and make the bulb more accessible.

very nice! instead of a plug on the lower T, an antique or aircraft style voltmeter would be a perfect addition!

Thank you! I'm not sure I understand; do you mean an old fashioned toggle switch, like the ones used on WW2 era aircraft? I have thought of doing something similar, possibly on a future lamp build.

If this was in the UK it would not be legal to sell as there is no earth, if I was making it I would use three core cable with earth wire! And you should too, but it looks good just earth it, please, and make more.

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

I appreciate the comment, Bob. You're not wrong about needing a ground (earth wire) over in the UK. My lamp build videos and the methods I use aren't meant to be copied down to the exact detail. I enjoy showing how and what I do but there is nothing that says other folks looking to build a lamp can't change details to their own liking. That includes adding the ground (earth wire). I'll definitely consider earthing for a future lamp build... the current one wont be because it's already past the wiring stage but perhaps the next one!

Looks good. But there wood Bee too Hot inside the bottle, and bulp can break down too often. This type of bulp is expensive. Am i wrong?

@AndrewPOlson 2 жыл бұрын

I understand your concern. I'm using an LED bulb so the heat isn't too bad. Even if I had a regular incandescent bulb I don't think it would matter; the bottle is open so there is some airflow. The bulb is expensive but it doesn't get hot enough to damage it. If there was enough heat to ruin the bulb, the label would peel off of the bottle, long before the bulb would fail.

Can you please put links up so I can know where to buy . I’ve never done this so I really would appreciate it thanks in advance .

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

The reason I don't have any links to the products I used is simply because I bought the majority of them at local stores, i.e. my local hardware store, Home Depot and Lowes; mostly from Home Depot. The only items I did not buy in person was the lamp cord (18/2 gauge), the switch, the light socket, and the wall plug. I bought those off of Amazon because that's where they were easily available. There is a list of parts in the description of the video; that should help you match what I used, if you search for them. By the way, the light socket that I used was a regular-size E26. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

@iaroslavragel2387 Жыл бұрын

When you put an elbow and a tee on a nipple, how do you make then point the same direction? I've tightened mine and they point to different (random) directions. And if I point them the same direction then at least one of them is not tightened and the whole construction is loose.

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

Mainly I tightened some of them extremely tight! For a few of the pieces I made sure the threads were very clean, so there was nothing to bind them up and prevent them from turning, and then added some grease/oil to make it easier to tighten them as much as I needed. Apart from that, it just comes down to brute force. You might try using wrenches with longer handles; the longer the handle the more leverage you have and the easier it will be to tighten the difficult pieces.

@VoodooViking 11 ай бұрын

If you take that rubber sheeting, fold it over itself, you can loosen the pipe without marring the metal or the paint. Just be sure to use a really heavy duty paint like an enamel or what have you.

@p3sv 2 жыл бұрын

How do you tighten them all the way in and still keep them at a 90 degree angle? Mine have their own idea on how they wanna sit, ughh!

@AndrewPOlson 2 жыл бұрын

The longer the wrench handles are, the more leverage you have and the easier it will be to turn the fittings and make adjustments. Also, I put a little bit of grease on the threads to make it easier to tighten and to loosen the fittings in the future, if I need to take the lamp apart. Looking at my lamp from a side angle, the 90's aren't perfect, either, but no one would ever know since it looks perfect from the front, which is the only way it appears in my videos! I never said it would be easy but you can do it!

How does the plastic tubing activate the switch?

@AndrewPOlson 2 жыл бұрын

The tubing pressure fits over the switch, when the blue water-valve handle is turned it also turns the switch because the tubing is connected to both. The tubing is the bridge between the two.

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

@@Bahanov No, there are no stoppers. I wondered the same thing before I made one but having done so I don't think it will break at the part that is glued; just be sure the epoxy is dry. Admittedly, it's not the best way to attach the valve stem to the switch but I don't have the machines needed to make custom parts so I went with this method and it works. I'm not rough with mine and it seems to be holding up. I recommend being gentle with it; treat it right and it'll treat you right. I hope this helps.

@AndrewPOlson Жыл бұрын

Do you mean for the electrical cord or the iron pipe? I did use the clear tubing to prevent the cord from getting damaged by the pipe threads, to prevent damage/electrical short. If it's wired correctly there wont be a problem. There are many lamps and lamp video's on the internet that do the same thing as I did. Lamps produced for retail sale are not required to have a ground (earth) wire in the cord, here in the USA.
