      that would be an excellent series. I love seeing something in the store or on pinterest and making it better and higher quality and much cheaper. Like hardwood modern furniture for example. Some furniture pieces that would cost thousands because they are OOAK or handmade pieces, can be made for hundreds.

    Several things to make it match more similarly:
    Light to be stronger / have more lumens or watts, you could even wrap the LED back to back to make it a longer strip so the light projects more intensely.
    Lighter wood reflects light better, so it also appears brighter

    You could wrap the insides full of lights the fill it with an opaque resin that might make it look cool and give it way more structure so it isnt just relying on glue.

    For straighter cuts with a jigsaw we really like the T142HB blade. It's much deeper than a typical jigsaw blade and is made for straight cuts! We used it in place of a circular saw for the longest time!

    For making LEDS (with a silicone top layer) you can either paint on a light layer of either a white paint or a white glue that drys white. The white layer of white will disperse the light coming out of the LED to flatten out the lighting.

  • @dolfinmagikpro
    @dolfinmagikpro 5 лет назад +13

    I think that yours would have looked better if the wood had been less grainy like maple or pine. Even painting the inside a solid white, cream, or Ivory color would have reflected the light better and may have looked brighter. Just an observation!
    Homemade is ALWAYS better than store bought, in my opinion.
    Keep up the great work! I would love to see more of this type of video.
    As always ... Have a better day!

    • @EvanAndKatelyn

    The most important factor to consider on things like this is that you can make it EXACTLY like you want it. Consider how much the person you are buying it from would charge is you could customize it. That is when the prices REALLY go up.

  • @MEB-1997
    @MEB-1997 2 года назад

    I think one of those diffusing sheets of plastic could add a lot to your diy lamp, it would make the light softer and more evenly spread. Plus if you put on over the top too you can hide the sight of the led strips inside.

    I love the aestetics of your lamp. Since these lamps are more for decoration and background lighting, the intense white light is bad.
    I am also very fond of wood, and the white finish of the bought lamp makes it look like it might as well have been made of plastic (and not the fancy kind). Seeing the wood grain in that coloured light was beautiful.
