I love the direction you’re taking your videos bro ❤ I used to watch your channel(s) for the Nintendo content but all this extra stuff you’ve been doing just lately is great, I could watch videos like this all day long 👍🏼
I love this type of content. I've been a subscriber for years now. The part when you said you had a mental breakdown made me LOL! Too bad you couldn't keep the original patina of the shade.
Very nice restoration! However I would strongly suggest using a cable with three wires and then to connect the ground to the metal casing (I think this was the case on the original cable too). In case of a defect or if it comes in contact with water etc. this will trip the RCD and save you from electrocuting yourself. And water leaks never happen where you expect them, ask me how I know ;)
Love it! Do more, if possible include some of the research process. Would like to know more about your process when selecting paints/primers, I am assuming you learned a bunch regarding those during this project.
6 minutes is where all good projects end up don't feel bad about it. That's literally how you end up with what makes it special and yours. Now it's something entirely unique 😊
Could you please make a video of how to find the right suiting parts for any watch?? Im trying to build my own but am struggling with finding the right pieces.
When painting you dont need to sand paper to metal use the old paint like a primer use water sand paper grit 600 with water and sand paper till the paint has no shine then primer than paint like this the new paint has more body and not a thin coat on metal
Another really enjoyable video, Elliot. But did we REALLY need the gratuitous crotch-shot at 6:06?? Gah! Who am I kidding? OF COURSE we did! A wonderful restoration (nice Leica too). Keep 'em coming!!
The new paint job is not patch on the original, you'd have been best with that chipping take your spray can and a brush, sprayed enough to make a small pool of pain you could dip your brush into and paint with the brush inside on that tiny little chip.
When cheap stuff was made of metal. Our time sucks guys, I'm sorry. This lamp was the boomer times equivalent of a cheap 10 bucks one you'd get on Amazon and it's built like a modern premium desk lamp
They dont quite make that perfect pea soup green color anymore. Its always any army green or olive shade. Bummer you had your stripper accident, but it still looks grand I'd say!
40 quid for a rusted up non-functional lamp and you think it's a good deal. You're the reason why people think they can charge out the ass for garbage.
Let’s refrain from extreme blames like this. It does no good and fixes nothing. But yes, 40 pounds for an old lamp with no historical significance is pretty steep.
Just wondering why you didn't spray some of the paint inside the can cap and use a small brush to touch up the chip mark? BTW I might be retiring my 10kg heavy ex RAF anglepoise lens with a ring fluorescent tube as was used to pore over spy camera fotos from the cold war, I kid you not it is massively heavy just I never uses it, if I do and you interested?
Amsterdam is AWESOME! I bought a 200 EUR Walbusch Coat in a vintage store, and I paid 17 EUR for it. Obviously it was preowned but it still looks like new and is perfectly fine. That alone refinanced the flight tickets, although I mainly went there to visit friends and didn't even 'hunt' for a deal like that. I wonder what you could find if you had a view days and a bit of capital... PS: Are you wearing a diamond braclet?
Also, did anyone else see Elliot with and without his glasses and suddenly realize just how easily Superman and Kent Clark could pass for different people?
These kinds of little random vintage stuff restoration things you do are fantastic, Elliot. I'd definitely love to see this kind of stuff keep coming.
I wanted to say the same. Great restorations Elliot.
Absolutely love these kinds of videos, and the aesthetic you've got going in that room is phenomenal! Keep up the great work, Elliot!
Nice Leica m3 with the 50mm elmar…..have one myself. Didn’t realise you’re a film shooter, but not surprised you’re a man of many talents.
Gotta join the flood of compliments. Loved the soundtrack in this one.

i still loved that old green than the new one!
40 pounds for that is insanely expensive IMO, those streetmarkets in Amsterdam are usually obscenely expensive anyhow. But still a cool lamp....
totally agree. a lamp such as that should be half that cost or even lower, especially given the condition it was in.
Hahaha loved to hear that you where in the little country i happen to live in!🥰 hope you had a wonderfull stay mate!😁

Love the new studio, and the filming in this video was absolutely amazing! The lamp turned out fantastic as well, great job!
Such a bummer you lost that originl green. Must have been crushing.

Looks perfect on your shelf. I like a lot where this channel is going.

Loved how it turned out, awesome job 💜
Gosh your new setup looks good!
When ever I think about buying a lamp, I think about that old IKEA commercial 😂
incredible job elliot! what a beautiful lamp
Another Coll Elliot Masterpiece, sure did polish up pretty ;)
I quite like this Lamp..
That lamp will mean much more to you, after the work you put into it. Nice job mate.
I like how you can see the lamp in the background while he's talking about it.
Love it.

I like this style of video. Gj Elliot!

Need to invest in a couple drill attachments, will help with polishing and wire brushing

Beautiful! Would love to see more of this content.
Beautiful Elliot!
You have style 😎
Do more of this please

lovely
7:16 Bro looks like he just woke up😂
His hair is nice tho
It genuinely looked better before you sanded it, now it looks shit.
Nice M3 bro 😎
I way prefer the green you chose!
Any plans for modding the horizontal gameboy dmg?
Id have desperately tried to get the original switch working. Stylish little piece of plastic that haha
The cover looks like it's missing a toggle switch that would came out the back where that small hole is at.

Not *that* hard to get metal, but it's usually aluminium, not steel.
it wasnt cheap back then too
Could build a another watch please

Elliot why don't you upload on your main channel much anymore?
40 quid for a rusted up non-functional lamp and you think it's a good deal. You're the reason why people think they can charge out the ass for garbage.
Harsh with a slight hint of rude, but true, very very true

It's a very nice lamp and lighting and aesthetic are important in keeping people happy. I'd have given £40 for it 🤷🏻♂️
@@howiezozo604 you just described my entire personality lol.
@@brooklyn11218 honesttly thats me too haha
Sad if i knew you were in Amsterdam i wanted to meet you.
yep that's the problem with spray paint
Zooooo goed
I’m loving the watch and now lamp videos new favorite channel rn
I love you, but I felt that lacquer on chrome on my soul. And it caused me a fair amount of pain
Should have used the original lead paint
That's a weird-lookin' Gameboy
The shark was jumped today.
It's great to have you back!
Nice.

Bike update?
Angle poise lamps are not rare. They are very, very common. They turn up all the time, even ones from the 70s go for little at auctions and car boots.
It's very clearly not a big standard angle poise though 😅
@@connorhalliday7304 exactly. Its a cheap, fragile knock off. Anglepoise is a British company and he went abroad to buy an inferior clone.
Awesome! That lamp looks really classy 😻
Love the videos man gonna subscribe next month
40 POUNDS FOR THIS THING? ARE YOU MENTAL?!
Hey, he's still alive! 😏
Nice!
Some people in this comment section clearly have literally zero understanding of style haha
I really like the new background you got goin on. Keep this vibe up!
I like lamp.
I like 🐢 turtles
40 pounds for an old broken lamp???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He'll make a hell of a lot more than that from the video.
Eliot! I hope you’re doing well bro, glad to see another video!
good job Elliot
As a wise, and very loud, man once said: I LOVE LAMP.
you got scammed by a dutch, should have haggled him.
Amsterdam is AWESOME!

40 pounds? what a scam
It really is too bad you couldnt keep the original green colour but this turned out just great in the end!
Older brother of the Pixar lamp.
Also, did anyone else see Elliot with and without his glasses and suddenly realize just how easily Superman and Kent Clark could pass for different people?
I knew those tweets were for a lamp
Who knew that when you take off your glasses you become a grown man? I like the studio redesign, too!
Did you haggle? Or does our culture mean NOTHING to you?
Awsomw. Can u make a fat boy?
I would use this to play Gameboy advance games because I am too unskilled to do screen mods.
Next investment will be a sand blaster...
That's a G-shock on your wrist, right?
No idea who John Lewis is. I assume he's a friend of yours who sells you lamps often.
You should change the bulb for a Wi-Fi RGB one so you can add a splash of colour when needed and white when you don't need it.
No, thats horrible
