  • @modustrial
    @modustrial 6 лет назад +5

    Great job! You should do more of these videos out of your comfort zone. Sometimes the simple looking designs are challenging to build, but well worth it. I definitely saw some design commonalities with my "Rings of Saturn" light, but also got some ideas from this video about how I could improve it when I make the video for Rings of Saturn version 2.0. I really liked the idea of hiding the wires under the veneer.

    • @DIYCreators
      @DIYCreators  6 лет назад +1

      I agree, I really want to tackle more design like such. You did a great job with all your projects. I'm sure I will learn something from you.

    • @modustrial
      @modustrial 6 лет назад

      Thanks! I've definitely learned a lot from you. I'm excited to see more projects from you where you don't worry about trying to make a build simple or inexpensive, and just focus on making the design as cool as possible.

    • @DIYCreators
      @DIYCreators  6 лет назад

      Yes, I plan to do more of those. I'll mix it up to trying and balance the of the audience. Working a schedule, hopefully, that helps.

    • @modustrial

    Nice job! Really like how you showed how to set up the router table to do the pattern cutting. Also how you routed the groove for the wire to run through. I might try to do this one at some point in the future. Only change I might make, if I build it, is to add a jack to accept the plug from the power supply. It night have to be epoxied in, but wouldn't be that much harder. And shouldn't be as subject to wear and tear as where the wire now goes through. Nice showing how to do the strain relief and all, as well. Even heat-shrinking and soldering the connections. You didn't miss a thing! Thanks for the build! Great project!!!

    Nicely done. Just a note for future reference. To apply veneer to internal curves, try one of those bean-bags people use to warm up their sore neck or shoulders. Just put it in the microwave for a minute on high; it is flexible so it will conform to the curve and it stays hot for quite a while. You can still use the iron for flat surfaces.
