How to make a Bog Oak Lamp

How to make a lamp using bog oak. The video shows how I made the lamp, from selecting the wood to cutting and shaping and finally the wiring of the lamp. I also made the mounting bracket for the bulb holder.
It is not in the video as I made it at night and the picture quality was not great so i left it out. It was an easy project to build with the cleaning and sanding being the most difficult part.
I think if I was doing it again I would use a different finish maybe an oil finish. I used the varnish as it was all that i had at the time.
The bulb holder and shade were purchased from a local hardware supplier and the wire was taken from an old broken lamp.
Always be careful using tools and machinery !!!

I think I enjoy making lamps more than any other piece of furniture. It is something that is used most of the time and never goes unnoticed. Great video and project.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you very much Stephen.

[@tombstone86]

I've become really interested in these kinds of hobbies because of inspiring people like you. Great job.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you so much!!!! I am so happy to hear that. You did a nice job on the lamps you made too.

[@crackerjack3359]

That s really sharp. I have made lamps from old juniper fence posts. I have found the a pressure washer saves a lot of the clean up you had to do. Montana Wood Art.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Hi Eamon, was that a wire brush in the angle grinder, and was the cutting disc for wood. Thanks.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Hi Andrew, yes it was a wire brush and flap disc.

[@endurance8910]

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you! well spotted, yes I did make it i just welded a bar to the bit and it worked a treat.

[@orremm]

Eamon Walsh DIY cool not too far away from me in navan. Nice work. Love bog oak

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Not too far at all !! :-)

[@yopyopu3258]

nice :)

[@damianlwhelan8627]

Eamon I don't want to sound like a nit picker but would it have been better to oil or wax the wood rather than varnish.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Hi Damian, it probably would have. In reality though the sheen is no where near as bad as it appears in the video.

[@CookingGuy815]

@@EamonWalshDIY Have a nice day

[@andrewusher5560]

Can you get them at Woodies, I'm in Co Galway.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

You can but they are very expensive. I would try a hardware shop like www.mcmahons.ie/ or purchase online at the likes of www.ie.screwfix.com/

[@kepreza]

cool piece and design, but I can't stop sweating watch you cut something with a chain saw that's not properly clamped down....

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks Kevin, all the pieces were clamped when using the chain saw.

[@wolflovesmoon]

You couldn’t run the wire thru the base? That would have taken this lamp from good to great, nonetheless its amazing project.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you very much..

[@ER332211]

or add the shine

[@EamonWalshDIY]

👍

[@MrBananakopf]

Something doesn't look right about the proportions, I think a larger lampshade would look better ! But great video !

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks very much Rossi.

[@ER332211]

it was good until you painted it black

[@shastakennmpx17]

It's simple, Just go to WoodPriX page - and enter the Eco World.
