Laminated Cedar Spiral Lamp from Two 2x4's
This project was prompted by the #two2x4challenge put on by the guys at the Modern Maker Podcast.
www.modernmakerpodcast.com/
I wanted to create a piece that completely removed any evidence that it was made form 2x4’s. I also wanted to try an experiment with rubber bands and a cardboard concrete form for the lamination process. I’ve often wondered if it would work and this was my opportunity to find out. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this experiment /project and I hope you like it too.
Thank for watching and I hope you enjoyed!

I'm not hating on your rubber band technique, but perhaps (if there's a next time) it would be easier to clamp one end with a piece of twine clamped with the wood as well, and then you can start from that end and wrap the twine around the wood and tube until you reach the other end. Idk, might be faster, and the twine could then be reused.

@Makebuildmodify 6 жыл бұрын

I've tried similar methods. The physics of tensioning the twine causes a pulling force that travels along the twine linearly. As the twine tension increases so does the friction on the wood. This causes a dissonant pulling force against the desired finished laminated spiral. The nice thing about the rubber bands is that most of the force is pulling straight toward the center of the tube with almost no dissonant friction. It makes it very easy to do the fine adjustments on the final spiral.

@lowlandsoutlaw9757 6 жыл бұрын

Try looping one rubber band to the next and so on. Used this technique repairing a guitar body. Great for clamping odd shapes. Bands can be reused as well. Top build there my man.

I can verify this is a great design, the golden spiral has good visual appeal. I made this but shortened it for a table lamp, 32 inches tall, kept the spiral and diameter the same and it looks great. Added a paisley lace shade instead of the plastic and gloss poly with no stain for the wood finish. Soaked the wood before wrapping helps a lot. Used used #12 insulated wire as giant tie wraps instead of rubber bands. I really appreciate you sharing this as my table lamps were a birthday gift for my wife and she really likes them. Thank you soooo much! John

Justin, you inspired me to choose your KZfaq site my first subscription. Thanks very much! Your video and audio commentary make this project so accessible. This week I decided to try the laminations the way you showed it in your video. I did the first two spirals and on the third one though, I tried putting the elastics around the completed laminations and spread the elastics out about 1 inch apart. When I laid them around the tube there was no slippage of the layers and I just had to use ratchet squeeze bar clamps on each end of the tube. I wasn't sure if it would work without the elastics on the big tube but it did work. I hope this helps. Thanks again for a brilliant project!

Make Build Modify can you settle a discussion betwixt my gf and myself. She thinks you were great in science and math growing up,and I think that you had a strong mentor that was into woodworking. Which is closer to the truth?

@Makebuildmodify 7 жыл бұрын

It's tough to say what "great at science and math" means. I've been an autodidact as far back as I can remember. I've had no real conventional education to speak of other than a home based education as a child and few interest based college courses. So I'm not sure how I measure up. I started part time work in construction at 15 and have been working in that field intermittently in various professional capacities. There were no real mentors to speak of other than massive amounts of on the job experiences. I also had an uncle that was for all intents and purposes a master carpenter. He set a pretty high bar when it came to quality. However, I had very little opportunity to interact as an apprentice.

I used a 4' x 8" diameter concrete form tube. I cut 36" off of each 2x4 in the form of 9" inch blocks (end up as the discs). That left 60" of 2x4 to rip the strips from. I cut the strips about 1/16' thick. For the spiral just follow the steps in the roll out part of the video. The discs get cut the same diameter as the outside dimension of the concrete form tube. The tubes vary but that's okay. The middle disc can be placed where ever you choose to put it. Just make sure it's level or parallel to the feet and it has 120 degree marks so the spiral pieces line up relative to each other.
