DIY Industrial-Style Lamp with Edison Bulb
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Time lapse video of the process on how I create a minimalistic, industrial-style lamp with an Edison bulb and a solid oak base. The wiring was repurposed from a 6 foot polarized extension cord that was wrapped with 550 paracord to give it a nice texture. Joinery was done with miter cuts and wood glue. All-in-all this has been one of my favorite projects. Enjoy and Subscribe, project videos posted weekly!

Withjack Workshops is a series of DIY videos showcasing fun and easy projects ranging anywhere from woodworking, restoration, and electronics of all kinds. The projects run the spectrum of easy to difficult, needing certain tools to accomplish but still easily completed by yourself. This particular video is a part of the series where I'm creating items for my Etsy shop to be sold online or just for the heck of it to try my hand at creating something new for the enjoyment of making, in which I can only hope it inspires you to make something yourself.

Interesting work, I myself took a piece of 1 by 4 took a 8 ounce mayonnaise glass jar ran the 6 inch cord to an electrical box with a combo outlet switch using the c7 socet and white 7w bulb, no heat at all
Very gorgeous work. Well done.
yeah, cord idea is awesome!
Great lamp Brett - clean, simple design ... always the best way to go!
Beautiful! I love the idea of paracord for the cord. Also the use of a zip tie for the strain relief was pure genius! Subscribed.
thank you!
Awesome! What did u use to paint it?
Beautiful !
Thank you! Just subscribed to your channel, good stuff!
+Brett Withjack thanks man, same here!
That's a cool piece
Cool
grades ideas, realizadas con pocas herramientas e ingenio,,, gracias por compartir
Great ideas that come to fruition with a few tools and ingenuity - thanks for sharing.
(Translation)
Very cool
thank you!
Goddamn perfect, simple design!
working on repurposing an old cigar box (using a rotary switch instead of a toggle tho) and was wondering the best way to attach the socket. your video was just what I was looking for!
Nice! Sounds like a cool project. I definitely recommend maybe enforcing the cardboard of the box with a little block of wood just big enough to drill a hole through. That hole will be the same size as the socket which will just require a bit of epoxy to hold everything into place. Hope that helps!
Brett Withjack it looks like really nice👍 you make nice videos. I'm a liddle UA-camr of steel working and my videos are not so good. What can I do that my videos are famer than now?
Looks like a million bucks! Great color choices!
thank you!
Just subscribed!
How do you know which wire is hot on lamp wire?
Great looking lamp and a great video! Do you not need to ground the metal toggle switch though?
Do you have a slower video
Did you apply any finish over the stain?
At my place the supply is 230/240 volts. Would that switch work? Is it safe?
Anyway to make this using a battery???
Lovely stuff. Is the same thing possible using a rechargeable battery? So the lamp is portable ? Any help with that ? What mAh batter would power an Edison bulb of r a couple of hours?
I'm sure you can power an LED bulb but I'm not sure about a regular bulb. They use up a lot more energy than LEDs. I don't know much about batteries so you will need to research it to see what work best for your project.
Great lamp! Did you remove the electrical tape after testing and then covered with liquid tape?
Hey thank you! I join the wires with a wire nut and then tape it for extra insurance that it won’t come off. I only use the liquid tape on the back of the socket since it isn’t an easy place to cover with tape.
I like this project but I am new to doing wiring and I couldn't keep track on what steps you used to use the toggle switch. Can you post a video on the wiring? I know this would help, not only me but many others.
Do more research before doing any wiring but once you’ve done that this is an easy first project, the negative wire goes to the negative terminal on the socket and the positive wire to the positive terminal on the socket. That’s basic plug to bulb configuration with nothing special. When you introduce a switch, you simply add it to the positive wire only. The negative wire doesn’t get a switch.
Brett Withjack Thank you for reply back so soon. I will do more homework like you asked and I will try this in a few weeks.
Of course, good luck with the build!
I made the lamp and it came out real nice, thanks to you helping me with the lighting info. I even found a old paper hat that I used for a lamp shade.
Nice!
I have a question. My son wants to build one. I bought some cord, keyless socket, and a toggle switch. The socket has the two screws for wires and the toggle switch has two wires coming off of it. If I attach the cord to the socket, where do the two wires from the toggle go?
Hey there, I'm no electrician so use caution when doing this stuff. For my project I put the switch inline with the hot wire. That's all you need to do.
Nice job, did you tie a knot in the cord or use some other method to stop the power cord pulling through?Steve
thanks for checking out my video! I actually used a zip-tie with a dab of hot glue.
Don't tie knots in electrical chords as it could cause overheating issues
Does it matter what kind of switch you use?
+Jon Maat Hey there! Thanks for checking out my video. And no, shouldn't matter at all as long as it's a 2 prong switch. You're essentially just temporarily cutting access to the hot wire. There are, however, a lot of switches out there that have more than 2 prongs. If you're using one of those, make sure you're hooking the wires up to the correct terminals. Hope that helps! Cheers.
+Brett Withjack thanks! I'll be trying my hand at this project in a couple weeks. I hope it comes out as good as yours. Great job!
what were the measurements for each small plant of wood to make the box
thanks for watching. it was roughly 8" x 4" x 3"
How to did you cut the wood so that it was angled at the end?
I set my table saw to a 45 degree angle and cut the end off. Hope that helps! See 1:13 for reference.
Be very careful when doing this. I copied the technique from this video and had a piece of waste go flying by me at about 100 miles per hour. The problem cuts are where the waste ends up on top of the blade. It is much safer to flip the board over and cut from the other side (using the other miter slot).
Really cool. You should try putting music to it
a aint technician bui bought switch like yours just to make somethign similar to this instead my lamp is attached to a table, but i got scolded. cuz they say it's dangerous to pair this switch to wall, and this switch is meant to be used with batteries.
This switch is fine with line voltage, I bet it even has an AC voltage/amperage rating.
The problem is that the switch is metal, and it is not mounted in a grounded metal enclosure. Inside the box, a wire could come lose and the switch become dangerous with no indication. If the switch is grounded, a fault like this would not survive gfci or the breaker.
My husband used these plans from woodprix and he's very satisfied. However. I love Yours !
Slow the hell down 😡😡
This time I will use woodprix to make it.
