Have you guys had any projects where you almost ruin it towards the end? ;)
Yes I have had that happen. But I work with stone and precious metals. I had blowout in a casting flask when doing lost wax casting, and sprayed hot molten silver all over the shop.😂 Love how this lantern project worked out for you, and a really cool idea for the switch mechanism.👍
That was one child reviving ambitious vid but one question…. The battery??
Hey Miles, advice for the future with hot glue: Isopropyl alcohol tends to make it not stick to anything so you could try that as well
Was going to comment that. Works amazing the hot glue just slides right off with a little rubbing alcohol.
Isopropyl works perfectly with hot glue!
Wish I knew this ages ago
That's pretty slick Miles!! Nice work, and way to overcome the glue problem 👍🏼
Thanks Bob! That means a lot coming from you. I'm always trying to do different types of projects and be a generalist which is a big thing you've inspired me to do. 🙏
That's a neat project. Love the edit.
Few thoughts just for the sake of discussion. I know this is a one off project, still.
- The lamp is not repair friendly as of now. Glue makes it really hard to service the lamp in the future (just like our phones). If there was a way to open the lamp that would make it repair friendly.
- Make the lamp feel like a light trap. Let me explain. Right now, the lamp turns off just as you start closing and turns on as you pull it out all the way. It's very obvious when the light is going out. But if you reverse it and turn the lamp off at the end of closing and turn it on just as you start to pull the lamp out, it will give a sensation that the lamp is always on and the light was simply trapped inside by the exterior. Think that would be much cooler.
Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback, I always appreciate people who can give feedback and critique in a friendly way.
I totally agree with you about the repairability! I was trying to figure out a way to make it come apart easily for the future, but it was like 10:00pm the night before I had to submit the video when I was gluing on the top piece, so I unfortunately just ran out of time to think of a clever solution.
Also good idea with the light trap! That would have been way cooler haha
@@MakeWithMiles Thanks for the reply Miles. Glad you took it positively. I was just sharing thoughts for the sake of discussion. Looking forward to your journey.
@@MakeWithMiles maybe it can be a screw thread that you can twisted to open？
@@babybokchoiii It would be difficult to cut a thread into the wooden lid. I guess he could print the male and female threads and glue the female "nut" to the wood, but three little knobs on the inside of the lid wall and three matching L-shaped notches on the screen would be a lot easier to fabricate. Hope it makes sense.
@@mmoolloo smart！
I love that you can say "I have no idea how I'm going to do this next part" half-way through a project. Here I am watching hundreds of woodworking videos too scared to start my own first project. It inspires me to let go of the insecurity and just start, thanks for the content!
Thanks for your comment! There always comes a point in the editing process that I have to decide whether to keep the mistakes, and I've come to realize through comments like this one, that it is helpful to leave them in. thanks for watching
@@MakeWithMilesyes always leave the mistakes... Entertaining as well as informing
Just a quick tip. Never cut both positive and negative wires at the same time with a metal plier because that will short them haha. I think it was turned off here so no issues, but its an easy mistake to make and fry your electronics.
It's always surprising how quickly hot glue cools when you don't want it to and doesn't cool when it's burning your fingers.
Nice job on the lamp, and good save with the glue. Must have felt great when it finally came apart.
Totally Andrew, It was super relieving when I saved it, but I was surprised how quick it dried.
Omg it’s the worst.. when I want to make a quick foam built not meant to take more than a few hours, it takes me to whole day because the hot glue won’t dry. When I need to be precise and careful, the glue drips onto the fabric and ruins the whole thing 😭😭😭😭😭
Your lantern turned out amazing, so smooth, and what a terrific edit!
Thank you so much!
Wow, I can only imagine the kind of luck it would take to find a branch that so closely resembles a dowel. Congrats to you!
Being as you 3D printed the shade, consider for the next version of the lamp to put threads on the top of the shade and cut them into the inside of the cap. Or, make the shade a little taller, put a wooden ring inside on the top -- held with two screws through the shade top, then make the cap's handle screws go through the handle, the cap, the shade, and into the wooden ring. In this way, you would be able to easily disassemble it in the future.
Awesome project, my only thought would be why not use 3d printing on the inside of the lantern to hold up the electronics, led and magnets? I feel like that would have made it much cleaner whilst giving you more space to put reflective tape!
I was thinking the same thing. My concern was for the necessary waterproof/fireproof casing the electronics
I discovered your channel about a month ago, but what I noticed just now is the absolute abundence of creativity you use in your editting and camera angles/shots. Its super fun to see, and overall a blast to watch. Great stuff
Thank you for checking out my videos! Really appreciate the comment ;)
This is my first video of yours. I love seeing makers with merch from other makers I watch (re: Laura Kampf) - it lets me know that what I'm watching is the genre I'm looking for / what I find most inspiring for my home projects.
With all that short content in trend. It's nice seeing a long and pleasant build. So relaxing and enjoyable. Didn't feel like freakin twenty minutes! Well worth it. Nice job mate!
Ayy, loved the @laurakampf shirt you were rocking while wood-turning. Another great creator on here. Love watching soooo many of the makers/creators on here. Keep up the awesome work Miles. Much love.
Thank you so much for watching! Laura is great maker and friend of mine. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
"Alright! Let's Gooo!" Great video, Miles. I'm thoroughly impressed by the amount of talent and plethora of skills you possess at your age. You're gonna go far dude. Can't wait to see how your channel grow in 1, 2, 5 years from now and beyond.
Thank you Jason! I can't wait to keep sharing my projects in the coming years. I have no plans for stopping!
Turned out way better than I expected. That's legit an item I would buy! Great job.
Absolutely awesome product! The design is really simple and clean. I especially like the use of recycled plastic. Way to persevere!
Thanks Andy! I was definitely trying for a minimal look, so I'm glad you think so.
Some things aren’t as big as others, but the aesthetic is amazing. One of my favourite craft vids of all time, the lantern just looks so well and fits in perfectly. The execution wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t the worst I’ve seen. Amazing work❤
that looks cool , just one suggestion... currently the lamp lights up when u pull it up completely , make it so that it feels as if the light was always on , turn the lights off when its all closed , but as soon as you give a small pull , make it turn on :)
The quality of your angles and the the complexity of your projects makes it difficult for me to believe you only have 43k subs. I'm predicting 100k by Christmas. You deserve it.
Loved the build and project. Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve hot glue! Use it all the time for 3D prints/drone builds. New subscriber, happy to have found this channel.
This look like something that can be sold on IKEA…especially a black version or green…maybe even white and gray. Or a metal version that possibly are endless with this project. It’s amazing ❤️
Rubbing alcohol is good for unsticking hot glue. If you ever run into that problem again, try and pour some on it, and remove it, it won't hurt the electronics either. For example you could have turned it upside down, and poured a bunch in between the plastic and wood.
So many people have good things to say about you and your channel. This is another creative project and I most appreciate your great story telling and video editing skills.
I want to thank SnapMaker too! I’m happy to see you support this young man.
That is so beautiful. Well done. The handle looks great.
Thanks Marick!!
You could've used actual magnetic switches, which are a thing and come in normally open and closed variants, or even some kind of mechanical switch . Glueing wires to magnets is not a good permanent solution. also you could've modelled a thread in the 3d printed part and wood sections ( if you can do threads on your lathe) and that way you don't have to glue that as well and can change the electronics if need be.
indeed the switch could be impouved in lot of ways, a magnet switch like he said, or even of the electronic main board, using original way to switch the lamp was fastidious.
Also stick that led board on a wood is not smart, better go for aluminium to increase heat dissipation.
At the end it turn out to be a cool lamp.
that ending cutting to the montage of it looking incredible is just too good
If you can produce a bit more, it seems a good piece for home decor.
Love the woodworking of yours!!!!
Watching your videos is like re-visiting my younger days... Bursts of creativity, tonnes of learning and loads of adventure... And man you know your stuff in videography too! All the best!
Incredible design, Miles. I look forward to following your projects for as long as you're making them.
The pain of a project failure glad u were able to work through it
I did take the 30 day course about 3 or 4 years ago and i gotta say absolutely amazing for beginners, i missed it right after finishing it. Really not overcomplicated and well done, well articulated english, and good way to keep you focused. Now i can do many amazing things with the software.
Excellent production quality, awesome looking final product, and some cool ideas along the way. The handle turned out great, and the magnets to turn the thing on and off was super neat. Great video!
The concept is extremely cool, and even more so the craft, but i suggest (if you ever plan on making a second version) to make it so the handle slides upwards and when put back into the place, disappears into the top part, and make it as a vertical sort bar and lever type situation.
But overall a very cool concept/craft!!
This scene where you "film yourself" and then cut to the image you captured of yourself is awesome! Small details do matter. Nice one. Keep going!
Another great video. Binge watching you while I’m at home with COVID. I learn heaps from your mistakes too, really appreciate you leaving them in the videos
Just discovered you! Amazing quality, wood editing, filming, music. Everything, high-level content here!
Just beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing.
16:02 LMAO i was literally thinking, "you should prob put something reflective at the top... oh he's doin it!"
Such a beautiful piece - that looks like it could be in the MoMA design store!
Thanks Morley! That's good to hear ;) Appreciate your feedback on thumbnails.
Amazing Work!! The lantern looks and works great.
Hello, that's a really nice project and it came out looking awesome.
I am working on electronics and i have a lot of experience with wood since my father was a carpenter, so i will leave here some friendly suggestions for your next projects:
-Next time make it repairable (once you drop it it's done). For ex. you will need to swap the battery at some point cause most "no brand" 18650 batteries that come in products like these are really bad.
-Please don't screw electronics on wood (especially LEDs and batteries on cheap plywood). Please source a holding case for the 18650 and cut out a small alum. plate to place the LED ring onto. Batteries like this one need vent holes and leds are tending to become really hot. You can also use some brass spacers to fix the pcb or add some insulation tape between the pcb and the wooden parts.
-I would stick with the induction wire/switch that cycles through brightness, you could stick it on the side of the bottom part easily and would be a really nice feature.
-Back to being repairable, the wood screws on the handle would def need a washer cause either of the two will happen, the handle will become loose/floppy or it will put pressure on the wood since the screw is glued on the handle and every time you open/close the handle you are screwing and unscrewing it 1/4 of a turn. Addressing the same "problem" you could leave the leave the handle screws exposed, use some black hex nuts (which look rly well with wood imho) and have them grab/lock the top part of the plastic at the same time, making repairable. If you insist on the clean look with hiding the screws, i suggest you add some metal inserts on the top body and have the handle screw to them and then cap them of with some wood.
Nice work and nice video :)
Wow! beautiful design, esthetically AND practically! Well done! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 🔥
Thanks man! Much appreciated. Thanks for your comment ;)
Hey Miles! just found this channel and i'm blown away! This was excellent! I got a tip for removing hot glue (works with resin like a charm, not sure if it will help you too) - Try putting the piece in the freezer, let it freeze all the way, then it should just pop right off :)
I think rubbing alcohol is supposed to release hot glue, but I’ve not tried it. Nice project and when the handle breaks, I look forward to seeing your steam bent handle project.
Thanks Jason!
Hey Miles I've just did a marathon on your videos!!! Very nice projects and editing!!! The last Guitar that you did is awesome!!!
Best regards from Brazil!!!
Thank you so much for watching my videos! ;)
SUCH a cool project! Absolutely love it man, great work!
Not to mention the INSANE visuals, love the shots ❤️❤️
Really appreciate that! I always have fun filming ;)
great build and great execution! I loved the mic'd up troubleshooting with the glue too!
Gorgeous result man! I can certainly relate to the mid-project "What did I just do?!" moment. Been there too many times, haha. You made a great recovery!
Hello Miles! Found this gem of a video on my homepage (recently been interested in lighting design). The solution is so cool, and I love the design & material choice! I have a lighting project due soon, and I've designed it so that it's motion sensored & dimmable. No physical models, but I do need to complete an exploded CAD model, and watching your video has made me very motivated to complete mine! going to subscribe now haha
Beautiful project Miles. The design and outcome is absolutely incredible! Congratulations once again 😊👏🏼🙌🏼
Thanks man! Much appreciated ;)
Great job Miles and nice work incorporating so many things into one video; 3d printing, wood turning, electronics. Good stuff!
Thank you!!
very beautiful piece.. all your effort and hard work paid off..respect!
My hat's off to you, Sir... What a great and well finished project!
That's a lovely build mate. Please keep up the great work, it's inspirational.
Thanks Charlie! I appreciate the comment ;)
Very cool! Love how you captured the story of creating it!
You should have used a reed switch, and use it to control another switch, a mosfet maybe, and the switch at the bottom is a good idea, since it will (should) cut power to the board since there is active electronics in there constantly using power, that way you prolong the life of the battery.
And for the handle, have you considered using wood veneer? Just layer a bunch of sheets and glue them to each other while keeping them in shape.
Dude that is such a clean design, nice job. Also, the video editing is on point.
if you ever need to loose the hot glue use isopropil alcoholl
great editing. Loved the split screen and the and the kinda retro zoom at 8:30. Fun little details
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. Great work!
Wow, Miles! That's an amazing lantern you made. Great job powering through the glue fiasco.
I heard Bob from ILTMS recommend this video in one of his podcasts and it definitely did not disappoint.
I love the transitions you used in this video and the clever camera work. Well done! Subscribed!
Hi Matthys! Thanks for the visit and for subscribe. Making it is one of my favorite podcasts and Bob is such a nice dude.
I really like your videos! The projects turn out amazing and the shots and the music are very satisfying.
Very cool project! As always your video and audio are spot on professional
Thank you!! Glad you think so, because I was trying out a new way of recording audio with a lav mic for this video!
Awesome! You could use this design to make pathway lights or put them on a stand. Add a day/night cycle on them and they could open automatically at night.
Bro's good at both designing AND video editing. Mad respect
Your project and video making skills are only getting better and better. This was a pleasure to watch Miles.
Thanks Chris, there's nothing like a good challenging project ;)
Great lamp, even greater video. Thanks boss!!
Fantastic job! Your end product is gorgeous and so clever.
I would totally get one of these it looks really slick, sometimes I'm drawing in the park and when it gets dark it would be a life saver
IPA is a good hot glue remover. Didn’t tried it on wood but works great for plastic.
Love the finished lamp but also liked your humour in the dowel hunt and bite - your finding your style and growing with it
Not that you need any quirks to top your creativity but sure nice to see you making your videos even more you 👍🙂
Hey! That means a lot. In every video I try and add a bit more of my personality or humor because I don't want my videos to just be dry and dense with knowledge. Thanks for the comment.
@@MakeWithMiles it’s working and just do you as that’s who people are following
I hope the RUclips algorithms play fair as it’s often the cause of talented people like your self having to change what they do to get the views - I just enjoy watching how you pull ideas together and inspire that I too could make something if I put my mind to it
I've got this type of lamp, of course it's a factory made one. Never thought it would be possible to create a handmade one. Very neat project!
This thing looks straight out of one of this "industrial designers" pinterest page full of renders that will never become real, and... he made it by hand. It only shows how cool this kid is.
Amazing ! You could implement some sort of delay with for example a capacity to make the light turn off only once the lantern is completely closed.
Great Video!
I think i turned out really great, i love the way wood looks.
Definitely a good idea to put a warm light in.
Good work!!!
To take off silicone glue the best thing you can use is a few drops of isipropyl alcohol!!!
Miles, this is super cool man. Have you ever thought about studying industrial design? You already seem to have the sketching ability. I think you’d be great at it. Something to consider!
Hey Nicholas! Thanks for the comment, as a matter of fact I am going to study product design next year at university ;)
@@MakeWithMiles I'm so glad to hear that Miles! That's what I studied as well. I saw your talent and thought I'd suggest it, but it sounds like you've already figured that out. You already have a HUGE leg up on most of the students going into that major because you have the skills to make models and finished products. I'm sure you'll do great. Best of luck, dude!
Practical and beautiful! And, I wish I had a dowel tree in my backyard. 😄
Thanks Kelli! The dowel tree is pretty nice ;)
Dudeeee you’re really smart. Magnificent design, crazy amount of features!
Haha thank you so much!!
Unsure how it took me till now to stumble onto your channel but I'm glad I did. Brilliant content and brilliant maker!
This turned out looking sweet! Way to persevere through the glue issue. Always remember: everything is fixable. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Seth! I was convinced it was beyond repair but I wasn't gonna let it defeat me haha. Thanks for watching!
Really nice project bud. I'm glad you were able to save it
Thanks man! I was so relieved when it came apart.
Miles besides the project, which was amazing, I loved your cinematography, music selection and combination of music/voiceover, and types of shots!
That's a beautiful little lantern dude. Nice work, very slick.
Way to stick with it! Looks great!!
Thank you!!
I have a lighting design project for the studio, so this was really inspiring
That moment of "did i just destroy weeks of work with a single moemnt of carelessness" is always a treat hahah
Nicely done! I would add one change, make the battery replaceable, or have some hatch that allows access to the internal electronics
Looks great. Super Clean. 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Troubleshooting for the win 💪
Straight up!! Thanks guys 🙏
I really like the design. I do think that using bamboo and the right treatment oil would go a long way in making it a lot nicer as well as maybe using an different kind of wood like acacia or walnut to accent the handle.
Also using a custom designed board would allow you to add different brightness levels depending on how far you pull it out, brighter lighting, a bigger battery and faster charging. It doesn’t look like this is really your area of expertise, but maybe you can work something out should you ever want to do a v2.
I wasn't aware Timothee Chalamet did wood working... humbled by new knowledge every day...
Haha you don’t know how many times I get this comment 😂🙏
@@MakeWithMiles dang! I hate being a foregone conclusion (hahaha)
Awesome project ! I really like how you included the mistakes in the video. You earned yourself a subscriber
Maybe a twist motion instead of glue would have been nice to open up the lamp. For example to replacing the battery in the future
Wauw, Miles. That is one good lookin latern. And a true craftsman is not free from mistakes. He just knows how to fix/hide them. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Lucas! Mistakes are definitely just part of the process ;)
@@MakeWithMiles I could not see any in the final product, so cudos to you! Can't wait to see the next vid.
You inspire me! In my adventures with hot glue, I've found that a quick dab of rubbing alcohol breaks the bond in all but the most stubborn cases. Subbed!
Quick tip use isopropyl alcohol witch is rubbing alcohol to remove hot glue easily and with no mess
