    good video, very down to earth. I like that you don't use a bunch of crazy tools, or act pretentious about it, but still get a good result

  • @Merrlin

    I love how you're using more hand tools now, for folks like me that don't have access to power tools like you it's a real big help

  • @rafiweiss3915
    @rafiweiss3915 7 лет назад +3

    Yeah please do more like this! It's awesome to see wood and some electronics merge together to create household items we all use. Also, it's cool to see you do it all without power tools!

    i have a light that adjusts brightness by tapping a small touch sensitive spot with your finger. i feel like if/when i do this build i would integrate that somehow i think it would be a cool spin on it!!!

    Nice project! My personal suggestion would be to change the zinc philips head bolt for a countersunk socket head bolt, ideally one that had been plated black or a raw stainless steel fastener. Most bolts I buy from suppliers come in black, so there's no need to buy silver ones and paint them, as you should be able to get a black one fairly easily.
    It's amazing how much cleaner exposed fasteners look when they're socket-head.... even if it does make things look like they came from IKEA lol.

    Amazing. This is called a designer or art work. How much hard work behind this , a genius mind also. Sometimes we think about a piece of work that how simple it is and it should be not that costly. But we don't realize the technicalities , brilliance & hard work behind it. That is why a designer or art work is priceless. Only the makers knew it's worth.👏👏👏

    Great work and project! One comment about your soldering though. At 18:35 you were "carrying" the solder to the wires, i.e. melting solder on the iron and then applying it to the wires. That's a bad technique creating cold solder joints where the solder hardens but not actually bonds to the metal of the wire. This can cause failure over time, especially when the joints are moving. try applying a bit of solder to the iron to improve contact, then apply the iron to the wires to heat them up and only then bring the solder in contact with the wire. The solder will melt around the wire and bond with it, creating a good contact joint that will last as long as the concrete base.

    • @SeenD
      @SeenD 5 лет назад

      He connected the negative at the bottom. The reason he soldered one negative at the top because the led connection at the bottom o f the most right strip was blocking the connection of negatives at the bottom. Just look at 14:05 and freeze the frame there.

  • @claudior8298
    @claudior8298 7 лет назад +5

    Looks great but you should never switch the negative wire. Always switch the positive one. At 12V it may not matter but at bigger Voltages it could be a live saver. If someone gets into the electric circuit by touching a metal part which is under power, it gives them a shock, even if the switch is turned of because the electricity flows through the body in the ground. ALWAYS SWITCH THE POSITIVE WIRE

    I really like this lamp, and I appreciate that you keep your mistakes in your videos. Mistakes happen and it's nice seeing ways to work through them.

      Thank you, of course If I show my mistake I may save many from making the same one.
