    Because the slats are angled, you could also paint one side of the wood with a contrasting color before cutting out the pieces. Then, if assembled in the same direction, the lamps would change color gradients as you move around while giving a slight tweak to the warmth/coolness of the light to match the room.

    Based on my experience as a handyman installing high end lighting, I would say it's a $9000 light fixture you got there. Great design Bob. And nice to use stuff laying around+ New materials+ 3d printing in one project.

    I have similar black metal open top tubes - each came with a wooden gate construction kit (one of those ones that is just a frame and you provide your own pleats). There's an option in there to construct the gate one way or another, and a tube is left over based on the option you choose. Of course, I kept the spare metal, for reasons.

    That's pretty cool! As for those who don't like your methods, you have the tools, it would be silly not to use them. I will probably never have a laser like yours, but it doesn't make the project less interesting to me.

  • @Claymore166
    @Claymore166 6 місяців тому +2

    Been watching your work for a while now Bob and this lamp is probably my favorite build. It's a nice use of a variety of skills, something anyone can do to one style or another based on skills and materials. The look is very unique, a little sci-fi, little art deco, little mathematical, little artsy. A nice combination of styles. I do wonder how it would look with different sized and angled slats, maybe spaced out more to let more light through; would have been cool if it was adjustable like one of those toys that can turn into a ball or star, but that's a lot of a lot. Be cool if you could make some smaller hanging lights for over the center counter over the area with stools for eating.

  • @thenosreme007
    @thenosreme007 6 місяців тому

    Gorgeous design, Bob! It reminds me of a Philippines bubo, which means 'fish trap'. And lots of similar designs throughout the Pacific Islands. Love the idea of it holding in light, but the light still finds a way to escape. Awesome work!

    I think one of the best things about it is that it has a dynamic design - it always looks different from different angles, so never stops looking pretty and cool - there's always variety.

  • @kameljoe21
    @kameljoe21 6 місяців тому

    We have pretty much removed all existing lights, light fixture and anything hanging and replaced almost all of the lights to have around 50 or so 6 inch recessed thin profile led light pucks in all rooms. The upstairs and 2 additions were super easy as you can go up in to the attic. The main kitchen and the lower level living quarters you can not do that. In the 2nd kitchen the room is long and the floor joist go in the correct direction which allowed for 5 lights and 4 lights. The kitchen and living quarters we have to do something else. The kitchen we area going to do 2 drop down boxes so that there are 2 runs with 10 lights in each one. The living quarters we are still undecided. The pantry has a part of an attic above it and the joist are going the right way to make runs of lights.
    Adding these lights has greatly improved lighting in these areas. Our upstairs office has 2 runs of 3 lights each and one set is at the rear counter and the 2nd light is in the middle forward to light up the room. The 2 big screen tvs have 4 foot light bars behind them (20 watts each) connected to smart home plugs and since the they are on swing out swivels they light up the entire desk below and do not mess with glare if one is sitting in the 2 recliners. The rear thin profiled puck led recessed what ever you want to call them are set to the lower 2400k and on a dimmer with some temporary shields on them. I still need to make something a bit better and have some ideas on how to do it. I just need to find someone who can 3d print and have them make some shields. This is to stop the glare.
    To wire these all up was super simple. I just drilled all the holes out and daisy chained the lights and connected it to the old light wires. For those I pulled them up and out of the boxes if there were any and patched the holes back up. The new lights are super nice.
    I have seen some rgb led ones, some that have night lights halos on them and several others including directional ones and a number of sizes. While not like this light in the video something like this will improve what crappy lights exist in homes. I visited someone who just bought a freshly remolded home that just had chandlers in every room, while they look pretty the lighting is super poor.

    In the past week Shaun Boyd posted a YT video on his “Shaun Boyd Made This” channel that could have fit your prototype requirements. Did you ever glue all the ribs together? If not, you could vary your pattern by inverting every other rib to create a similar, yet different shade pattern. What was the white material that you rolled out on the plywood before laser cutting?
    Bob, thanks for another year of great video content. Wishing you a safe holiday weekend and a blessed new year filled with peace, prosperity, happiness and good health. Stay safe out there, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. Cheers.

    Thats an impressive project! Just a technical question: you said at the beginning you twisted AND tilted the ribs: have you really made so in the actual lamp shade or have you only twisted them?
    Doesn't the joint between the ring and the ribs require a cut that is not perpendicular to the surface to achieve a stable structure? I assume the laser cutter can't do that; how did you manage that?
    Happy new year!
