I'm not hating on your rubber band technique, but perhaps (if there's a next time) it would be easier to clamp one end with a piece of twine clamped with the wood as well, and then you can start from that end and wrap the twine around the wood and tube until you reach the other end. Idk, might be faster, and the twine could then be reused.
I've tried similar methods. The physics of tensioning the twine causes a pulling force that travels along the twine linearly. As the twine tension increases so does the friction on the wood. This causes a dissonant pulling force against the desired finished laminated spiral. The nice thing about the rubber bands is that most of the force is pulling straight toward the center of the tube with almost no dissonant friction. It makes it very easy to do the fine adjustments on the final spiral.
Try looping one rubber band to the next and so on. Used this technique repairing a guitar body. Great for clamping odd shapes. Bands can be reused as well. Top build there my man.
Absolutely brilliant. Since I started watching your channel I've had to keep re-assessing how I would classify your skillset and over time I've realised you're simply the whole package; tinkerer, inventor, designer, engineer, artist and craftsman and more, all wrapped into one. Impressive skills and imagination resulting in a beautiful, inspirational piece.
+Make Build Modify: How about "Jack of all Trades" ? While "Masters" may know all about THEIR particular subject, they often know a lot less about others. The Jack-of-all-Trades knows something about most things, and can pull ideas together very effectively with lateral thinking that can only come from experience. Love the lamp!
I can verify this is a great design, the golden spiral has good visual appeal. I made this but shortened it for a table lamp, 32 inches tall, kept the spiral and diameter the same and it looks great. Added a paisley lace shade instead of the plastic and gloss poly with no stain for the wood finish. Soaked the wood before wrapping helps a lot. Used used #12 insulated wire as giant tie wraps instead of rubber bands. I really appreciate you sharing this as my table lamps were a birthday gift for my wife and she really likes them. Thank you soooo much! John
Holy Crap Justin! This is incredible, I am sure that I could technically do everything that you did in this video, I used to make handrails for curving staircases with glue laminations... I just don't think I would have come up with this concept and design in a million years! your imagination and problem solving are off the hook Dude!
Justin, although this appears to be a complex object, your video documentation along with the casual and informative voice over makes this build feel accessible. I hope it inspires others to get out there and Make, Build, or Modify something of their own. Awesome project!
I started my journey as a fine wood worker over 40 years ago! What an amazing path it has been!!! I have not done it for the last 20 years,but I am back! What you have shown me has blow me away! J R Tolkien said "the most powerful thing we poses is our imagination! Here is the living proof! To use my intellect,soul and courage has given me the biggest thrill in my life! I applaud you on your wonderful journey !
This was very well done. I was amazed at all the random math you were able to pull from your head. Another thing that stood out was how you made the laminated pieces. Never would have thought of that. You've also solved a wood working problem for me. Thank you for the good video.
Make Build Modify can you settle a discussion betwixt my gf and myself. She thinks you were great in science and math growing up,and I think that you had a strong mentor that was into woodworking. Which is closer to the truth?
It's tough to say what "great at science and math" means. I've been an autodidact as far back as I can remember. I've had no real conventional education to speak of other than a home based education as a child and few interest based college courses. So I'm not sure how I measure up. I started part time work in construction at 15 and have been working in that field intermittently in various professional capacities. There were no real mentors to speak of other than massive amounts of on the job experiences. I also had an uncle that was for all intents and purposes a master carpenter. He set a pretty high bar when it came to quality. However, I had very little opportunity to interact as an apprentice.
I'd say that you have an enquiring mind and the ability to know how to find out how to do "stuff". You've also developed a skill set over your lifetime to put those discoveries into practice. Watching the technical drawing at the start took me back to my university days. Damo
A very clever, creative, AND of more importance a beautiful design. As a retired former mechanical draftsman turned CAD/CAM project engineer, your manual drafting work was fun to see. This lamp is a wok of art.
The end product is absolutely gorgeous!!! The process blew me away. You are genius artist. I will save this video to watch again and again. I am so impressed! Thank you for your insightful comments as they are awesome teaching ideas!
I'm absolutly loving the fact that all machine noises are turned down and you record your voice after you record video. I really hate hearing all that table saws ,grinders.
I love the ingenuity as much as the end result. Love the light, it’s earthly and rustic while being made from man-made materials. The plasma TV diffuser is the icing on the cake lol
This was a passion of mine growing up in the 60’s and 70’s but not having anyone in my life that could tell me how to use that love of drawing and direct me in the right direction, I settled for something else for a life career. Not complaining just reminiscing. Still like to take out a piece of paper and rulers and design.
Justin, you inspired me to choose your UA-cam site my first subscription. Thanks very much! Your video and audio commentary make this project so accessible. This week I decided to try the laminations the way you showed it in your video. I did the first two spirals and on the third one though, I tried putting the elastics around the completed laminations and spread the elastics out about 1 inch apart. When I laid them around the tube there was no slippage of the layers and I just had to use ratchet squeeze bar clamps on each end of the tube. I wasn't sure if it would work without the elastics on the big tube but it did work. I hope this helps. Thanks again for a brilliant project!
Hi Justin, I'd be happy to send you some shots if you still want to see them. I did use pine as it was what I had on hand. If you'd like to see them, how and where would you like me to post or send?
Hi, Justin. Here is the link you requested. I'll post some additional pictures when I finish the lamp. So much fun to build this project! www.pinterest.com/brianwdow11/brians-spiral-lamp-progress-pics/
When modern makers made this challenge, I don't think they anticipated the level of talent that would come from it. I've been watching spectacular 2x4 challenge videos all day today. You killed it man! Nice work.
Wow that was incredible. I have watched hundreds of videos and this is the only one that has ever had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. Very beautiful work.
Dude!! finally got a chance to watch this, what was an impressive performance :) Sometimes I steer away from ideas because I don't know how to clamp them but I'm going to change that!
I'm just here to say that you should have done it my way. That would have been better. I know that you just made it and it's beautiful, and I've NEVER made one, but I know better because, well, just because. You have 136,000 subscribers, I have none, but I know better. - yours truly, Typical UA-cam Commenter
@@Makebuildmodify Glad you got a chuckle. The lamp is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I'm not a woodworker, but would love to take on the hobby. I was hoping to make a pair, but it's beyond my skill level. Maybe some day.
Wish I had such folks as neighbors instead of all the hot chicks.....they come in handy but a tinkerer friend is forever.....no homo....just saying the truth.
if you want to do this but DON'T have access to defunct plasma TV's, you can buy diffusion material in a wide gradient of opacity from photography stores and places that rent lighting equipment for film and TV work. every major city has at least one good rental house that will have a wall of rolls tomchoose from. a whole roll is around $120, but you can get off cuts or specific lengths for a good price.
You're welcome! They don't just have white diffusion either. You can get every shade and intensity of every color of plastic (called gels) you could imagine. Also, gaff tape is complete magic.
Very impressive. You’re right, I would have never guessed you started with 2x4s. Rubber bands worked great for even pressure (not to mention the satisfaction of snipping them off!).
Just stumbled upon this video and your channel today and I have to say THANK YOU SIR!!!! Hoping to watch past videos and keep on learning a little bit when I can. . I am starting my channel with the main subject content to be about building custom guitars and amps, but I like to delve into fixing, inventing, and repurposing everything that I can. I will be checking in for inspiration when I can. Thanks again buddy!!! ROCK ON!!!
That is straight up total badassery!!! Especially for a 2X4 challenge! Getting that much perceived "motion" and curves from straight boards shows amazing creativity and imagination !! Wow!! Bob in Germany
What an exquisite project - those spirally curves done in wood are amazing!! And thank you for including the audio when you sped up the tapping of the wood at 6:50, it's pure ASMR goodness!!
Why in the hell are you not teaching high school geometry! I probably wouldn't have had to take that class three times if you were the teacher. Real Talk excellent demonstration, excellent conceptualization. You're a Gifted Man
I'm 60. I don't think I'm going to start now. When my dad died I got the house and my brothers got all the tools. (I would have been homeless if it didn't work out that way.)
This was an awesome project to watch come to life. I was thinking hey maybe I can try something like this but sir you have way more tools than I. So for now I'll just appreciate your talents and value what I learned. Hey maybe one day I will try something like this.
I will never attempt this project. I know my limits. But I am so glad you did. I watch these videos for entertainment and to learn. This video is a rare one because it inspired me. Great project. Very creative. And the camera work was good too.
Stumbled across this while researching for a very similar spiral project and you may have just saved me a lot of heartburn.Thank you for a well illustrated and well spoken vid. Keep up the awesome work and hope to see you in the dust again soon!!
Love this! This appeals to the craftsman and the mathematician alike. Throughout the video, I kept wondering how you’d manage the curves and the angles and the simple solutions you came up with were just elegant AF! Great job bud!
regardless of what they are saying on how should it be don or what tool. this is such a badass project! I admire how you got it together, improvising spontaneously it shows quick thinking and forsight on how the project is gonna end. I wish I could come up of something like this.

notice the initial drawing at the Beginning some of the very few of the videos that actually display Professionalism in action
Thank you!
Agreed. I love to draw out my stuff, but I need to get one of those nifty design rulers

Fantastic job! I did learn quite a bit from your video. The finished lamp was outstanding!

Thank you Laura! I'm so happy you watched it! I really appreciate your input on the thumbnail too.
I love this twist design.I watched silently in awe of your skills.Well done to you.
Thank you!
the moment I think I'm rather clever and too smart.. it's guys like this that bring me right back down to earth. lol
Haha! Thanks!
That's just bloody brilliant. Stunning project!

You know you've reached "The Dude" level when you build a lamp wearing sandals.
Ha! I get some much crap for wearing sandals in my videos. I never thought that it was a sign of "Dudeness". ;)
What about us who wear crocks ? :)
