- 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.
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.
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.
How about a butchers knot???? That should hold nice and firmly.
Jeremian Lastly ^o^
sometimes you pannic and use what you got
I learnt more in that video than I have in the last 50 I've seen. Awesome job!
Thank you Paul. I'm glad it was enjoyable!
The intelligence this man possesses makes my heard hurt. =)
how does ones "heard" hurt
If you watch the video with the volume too high.
I agree +Paul Dobbrick!
Justin! I am super impressed with this video! so many cool tricks and very well narrated and put together!
Thank you Laura! I'm so happy you watched it! I really appreciate your input on the thumbnail too.
I love the ingenuity as much as the end result. Love the light, it’s earthly and rustic while being made from man-made materials. The plasma TV diffuser is the icing on the cake lol
Thanks Karl!
OMG!!! You my friend are a breathe of fresh air for Makers!!! My new favorite!!! True artistry and craftsmanship!!! BAD A!!!
Thanks Aaron! I'm glad you like my stuff!
Holy Crap Justin! This is incredible, I am sure that I could technically do everything that you did in this video, I used to make handrails for curving staircases with glue laminations... I just don't think I would have come up with this concept and design in a million years! your imagination and problem solving are off the hook Dude!
Thanks Dave. I'm pretty sure you've got the experience to do it. Thanks again for the compliments!
Justin, although this appears to be a complex object, your video documentation along with the casual and informative voice over makes this build feel accessible. I hope it inspires others to get out there and Make, Build, or Modify something of their own. Awesome project!
Thank you Bernie!
Man, i really love this. Seems like the kind of project where you have to really work things out on the fly, and you did a tremendous job. Well done!
Thanks Ryan!
Oh that is just awesome! I love the little "tips" you're adding here and there! Turned out something I would definitely buy! :)
Thanks!
This project was prompted by the #two2x4challenge put on by the guys at the Modern Maker Podcast.
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?
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'm smart an stuff to ;)
I'd say that you have an enquiring mind and the ability to know how to find out how to do "stuff". You've also developed a skill set over your lifetime to put those discoveries into practice. Watching the technical drawing at the start took me back to my university days. Damo
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... congratulations for your work.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ;)
All I can say is bravo! This lamp is gorgeous and I love the way you explain your thought process! I will have to try this! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
The drawing he did at the starting is amazing i keep re watching that part...
Thanks! I liked drawing that part too.
This was a passion of mine growing up in the 60’s and 70’s but not having anyone in my life that could tell me how to use that love of drawing and direct me in the right direction, I settled for something else for a life career. Not complaining just reminiscing. Still like to take out a piece of paper and rulers and design.
Absolutely brilliant. Since I started watching your channel I've had to keep re-assessing how I would classify your skillset and over time I've realised you're simply the whole package; tinkerer, inventor, designer, engineer, artist and craftsman and more, all wrapped into one. Impressive skills and imagination resulting in a beautiful, inspirational piece.
Wow! Thanks! I've always had a tough time deciding what to call myself. I guess just "Interested" in stuff.
+Make Build Modify: How about "Jack of all Trades" ? While "Masters" may know all about THEIR particular subject, they often know a lot less about others. The Jack-of-all-Trades knows something about most things, and can pull ideas together very effectively with lateral thinking that can only come from experience.
Love the lamp!
ok I have watched some of the other 2 2x4 entries and I must say this is my favorite so far.
Thanks! It's my favorite too. Lol.
that's a beautiful lamp shade,.. thanks for sharing
Thank YOU for watching!
Great project! I love the spiral design of the wood and the techniques used to craft your design. Awesome job! Be well. ~ Danielle
Thank you for the kind words Danielle.
That's just bloody brilliant. Stunning project!
Thanks!
This is outstanding Justin. Great project and some really useful tips along the way.
Thank you!
I make segmented bowls from time to time and my favorite way to clamp them up is shrink wrap. Its cheap and easy to apply if you need it real tight after i Wrap it a couple times to hold everything in place then I will twist it so its more like a rope and you can pull hard and not tear the wrap and it pulls them together tight. Very cool build thanks for sharing. I build a lot of light fixtures and even signs for some local business with led strips. I might have to give a go it would be cool to run leds up the inside of the spiral then no shade but make it a light up shelf for knickknacks. Totally love it this is first time to your channel so i had to subscribe. Another trick i do when i need to cut several pieces the same it carpet tape them together and cut as many as 4 or 5 at one time on band saw and shape all at once on disc or belt sander and they are identical then. Not that yours wasn't i just like to take as few steps i can to speed things up. thanks for the upload look forward to more
Thanks for the sub Jeremy!
The end product is absolutely gorgeous!!! The process blew me away. You are genius artist. I will save this video to watch again and again. I am so impressed! Thank you for your insightful comments as they are awesome teaching ideas!
Thanks Pastor Larry!
notice the initial drawing at the Beginning some of the very few of the videos that actually display Professionalism in action
Thank you!
Agreed. I love to draw out my stuff, but I need to get one of those nifty design rulers
Two 2X4's became that awesome lamp....That is very impressive.
Thank you!
yOU DID A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL JOB. I love it. I bet it won't take long before the stores are selling something like this. I love it with the shade and without it. It is so beautiful.
Thank you!
Pretty Amazing work you did. I just love the set of machinery you've. A specific Piece for every specific work. And the Lamp is Love.
Thanks!
that looks so high end! inexpensive material but I can imagine a ton of hours/labor. Beautiful lamp, absolutely awesome
Thank you!
Awesome job. I love that this went from a literal hand sketch on a drafting machine to a fully 3d object. Great story telling and video. Thanks for Sharing!!!
Thank you!
this is awesome by far one of the most unique things I have seen built on youtube beautiful work
Thank you Steve!
What an exquisite project - those spirally curves done in wood are amazing!! And thank you for including the audio when you sped up the tapping of the wood at 6:50, it's pure ASMR goodness!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the most inspiring project I've seen in quite some time. Well done! I think I'll make one.
Awesome! Do it! Thanks!
so good! thanks for sharing!
HomeMadeModern Thank you Ben! It was fun to participate in the #two2x4challenge !
Pippi
Absolutely brilliant. Well done. You’re creativity and craftsmanship are amazing.
Thank you Chanda!
You're a genius, and I love the finished project! I just got into woodworking but I don't have a workshop (yet ;) ) but would love to try something similar to this one day!
Thanks! You're going to love woodworking.
What an awesome job man. I love it, and you taught me a few tricks along the way!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank for letting me know!
Fantastic job! I did learn quite a bit from your video. The finished lamp was outstanding!
Thank you!
Dude!! finally got a chance to watch this, what was an impressive performance :)
Sometimes I steer away from ideas because I don't know how to clamp them but I'm going to change that!
Thanks! Yup, rubber bands worked so much better than I thought they would.
This is seriously one of my all-time favorite videos. Need more challenges!
Wow! Thanks Matthew!
Wow! Incredible build!!!!
Thanks!
Hat's off to the top notch old school drafting (even though your lettering was a bit sloppy!). Nicely done!
Ha! Thanks!
You do really good work I love to sit here and watch you build stuff I like how you explain everything so good thanks.
Thanks Julian!
This is art bro, I'm speechless.
Thank you!
For once I actually subscribed after being prompted to do so. Great project!
That's so cool to hear! Thanks for letting me know!
the moment I think I'm rather clever and too smart.. it's guys like this that bring me right back down to earth. lol
Haha! Thanks!
Awesome video, really enjoyed watching and learning these techniques. Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for watching!
Seriously impressed with your lamps. Beautiful job👍
Thank you!
Very creative, awesome!
Thank you!
I'm absolutly loving the fact that all machine noises are turned down and you record your voice after you record video. I really hate hearing all that table saws ,grinders.
Thanks for the feedback!
Finally getting around to the videos on our to-watch list, and it's so cool to see all the thoughts and processes that came together in this video. Also - why were you dismantling TV's??? Haha
Hey!! Thanks for watching! I thought everyone took apart their old appliances.......Just kidding. Flat screen TVs and computer monitors have a lot of good materials inside. There's plexiglass, really bright bulbs, diffusion sheets, and a lot of miscellaneous parts that can be reused.
Mmmmm makes me want to have some fun taking apart ours!!! Then we would need new TVs, oh well 😋 (aka this is Evan and I need an excuse for bigger TVs lol)
I am in awe of your creativity and imagination. Serious skills.
Thank you!
God Ilove home builders and tinkerers.
Ha! Thanks!
Wish I had such folks as neighbors instead of all the hot chicks.....they come in handy but a tinkerer friend is forever.....no homo....just saying the truth.
THIS is how you earn a subscriber!
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
Simply gorgeous! Added to my favourites - maybe someday I'll get my hands on a table saw and can try to replicate this build!
Thanks Jeff, it's a fun build.
Wow, this was amazing. I love the way it turned out... Great work!!
Thanks Gregory!
Duuuddddddde. This is really good. liked and subscribed in one view.
Awwwwweeessoommme! I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for the sub!
Me too!
best video i've seen in a long time! i bow to you sir!
Thank you!
As do i
Really enjoyed this video. That's not just an amazing lamp it's a work of art.
Thank you Ray!
I would have never believed this project had I not watched it. I am totally amazed with what you accomplished.
Thanks John. Yes, I was kind of surprised be the results too.
wow that look amazing...Two 2x4's = brilliant
You win! ;-)
Thank you!
Love it! What kills me is that most people will see a finished lamp like this and think... $30 at IKEA or Wally world :/
Perceived value of hand crafted goods has always been a tough one for me too. It's so subjective. Thanks for watching!

Or the other way.a shelf made of old pallets being sold on etsy for £300
Hi Justin, I'm learning a lot whit your channel and Thanks to you..!!
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Thanks!
This is one of the coolest or the coolest things I have ever seen made out of wood. Okay thats probably an exaggeration but this is absolutely amazing for sure! Awesome work on this
Thanks you! I'm glad you liked it!
Было бы круче без промежуточных полок, а провод пустить в одной из спиралей👍
спасибо за идею
Stumbled across this while researching for a very similar spiral project and you may have just saved me a lot of heartburn.Thank you for a well illustrated and well spoken vid. Keep up the awesome work and hope to see you in the dust again soon!!
Thanks! I'm glad it helped.
Dude, I had so much fun watching this video. Makes me want to go into woodworking
Thanks Leo! I'm glad it was inspiring!
if you want to do this but DON'T have access to defunct plasma TV's, you can buy diffusion material in a wide gradient of opacity from photography stores and places that rent lighting equipment for film and TV work. every major city has at least one good rental house that will have a wall of rolls tomchoose from. a whole roll is around $120, but you can get off cuts or specific lengths for a good price.
Good to know. Thanks!
You're welcome! They don't just have white diffusion either. You can get every shade and intensity of every color of plastic (called gels) you could imagine. Also, gaff tape is complete magic.
Yes, I worked as a product photographer for about 3 years. But we always ordered our stuff.
You know you've reached "The Dude" level when you build a lamp wearing sandals.
Ha! I get some much crap for wearing sandals in my videos. I never thought that it was a sign of "Dudeness". ;)
What about us who wear crocks ? :)
Your ability to problem solve is amazing..the way you present and edit the video is outstandingly clear and precise. Oh yes the lamp is spectacular.
Thanks!
One of the best DIY videos I've seen on RUclips! Beautiful lamp! Creative and innovative on how you did it! Well done! Liked and subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks for the Sub!!
Awesome, beautiful! Great video. New subscriber. Any chance of some plans or dimensions for us beginners who are not clever enough to figure it out but are crazy enough to want to make one?
Awesome! Thank you for subscribing! Hmmm, no plans yet, sorry. But Maybe I should consider it. Thanks for the input.
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.
Thank You!
👏👏👏✊
:)
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
Dude! That's sooo great to hear! Thanks for letting me know, wow!
Excellent project! I’m not even done watching your video but I already know I’m going to love it.
Thank you!
I'm just here to say that you should have done it my way. That would have been better. I know that you just made it and it's beautiful, and I've NEVER made one, but I know better because, well, just because. You have 136,000 subscribers, I have none, but I know better.
- yours truly,
Typical RUclips Commenter
I know, right!? BTW I laughed out loud!
@@Makebuildmodify Glad you got a chuckle. The lamp is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I'm not a woodworker, but would love to take on the hobby. I was hoping to make a pair, but it's beyond my skill level. Maybe some day.
@@1QKGLH Just wondering, do I make it look achievable or intimidating. My goal is to inspire people to make stuff.
@@Makebuildmodify It looks achievable. If I had the necessary tools, I'd give it a go.
Incredible.. I just can't even express how beautiful this is.
Thanks!
Bravo! The spirals are great. The rubber bands, the tube, etc. Some great ideas, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Jeremy!
I subscribed as soon as I saw you doing such a detailed and beautiful drawing at the beginning. You definitely have a clear idea on what to do and how to do it. Fantastic vid!
Thanks for subbing!
My hat's off to your Sir.I learned several clever techniques and you produced a beautiful functional object. Really superb and unique!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and learned something.
Very nice! I'm inspired to try some kind of laminated project now. Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome! I am definitely trying this. Thanks for the info!
You're welcome. Thank for watching!
This is art man, congrats on this great project and how it came out!
Thanks!
Really great build. Your ingenuity, use of materials and execution are matched only by your presentation skill and calm, quiet confidence.
Thanks Robert!
That was the most interesting video of woodworking I've ever seen. I want one now 😺
Thank you!
It's beautiful I love it, great job.
Thanks!
Incredible attention to detail and a fantastic result
Thanks Glyn!
This is a masterpiece! Great job!
Thank you!
Excellent Design and Innovative Execution, love the recycling of the TV filters! How many of those things get tossed away when a TV is scrapped, perhaps a few guys & gals might see this and save them for this purpose. Light Diffusers.
Thank you! I hope so.
Great job man! You're one hell of an innovator!
Thanks!
Wow this piece of art makes me feel great you give us all the creative process to do it. You are great artist
Thank you!
Parabéns pela belíssima peça. Você me inspirou a fazer algo semelhante. Ah você acabou de ganhar mais um inscrito.
Obrigado!
Many years later - brilliant, seems tricky but not very difficult. Really well done and good inspiration to try out stuff I've never dreamt of!
Thank you! Just try one spiral lamination. It'll be fun and educational.
Watching this again... I like your projects...
Just some thoughts of mine::
If on the upper part you make a slot in all twisted wood.. you can insert the transparent media in the wood..
AND... on the inside, place LED-STRIP -- on each wood-strip.. The power source then will be a 12V AC
The LED-STRIPS can be of various colors rather than white only!
BEST
Good ideas, thanks!
Fantastic work love that lamp think I might that one a try
Thank you!
Wow this is awesome, love it!
Thank you!
Wow that was incredible. I have watched hundreds of videos and this is the only one that has ever had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. Very beautiful work.
Thanks Clayton. I'm glad you liked it.
Awesome job, wonderful ideas, very smart! Thank you for a good idea!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
The quality of this craftmanship is superior. Incredible work, very inspiring!
Thank you!
That is an amazing creation. Congrats to you. I will try this. When I was a kid, my dad made Danish Modern style lamps in the same spiral style as yours. I'm not sure if he used lamination. Twists were more narrow. You could sell those quite well in Palm Springs, mid-century modern capital!
Thank you! It sounds like your dad was a great craftsman.
Looks awesome thanks for sharing the process! I especially like the part where you repurposed that paper that came of those tv's. Nice to see I'm not the only one that saves "weird stuff for a different use" at a later time.
I often feel guilty for hoarding all the parts and pieces but sometimes it pays off.
Well I recently laid some vinyl flooring in my bathroom and of course it came on a big cardboard tube. I guess I won't be throwing that tube out as I thought I would. I will build something smaller than this and with a few changes to the design, but thank you for the inspiration! I certainly never would have thought of this without seeing your video.
It's a lot of fun. I hope it turns out well. Thanks for watching!
That looks freaking awesome . im not doing any wood work but i love watching talented people creating amazing things . good job man looking forward for the next video
Thanks Tarek! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
