    Bob forgot to mention that he built this lamp on his live stream on Twitch. He streams every Wednesday at 11 AM (EST) You can find it at Twitch.tv/Iliketomakestuff Its super fun! Come hang out and chat with Bob!

    You should make a video on your top 10 biggest mistakes/fails while making stuff!

    @EvanAndKatelyn 7 років тому +21

    This was really inspiring/motivating! I have an unruly side table with all the wires (Katelyn's is better) so I might try a version of this. I might also add a dimmer and phone storage while I'm at it too!

    Hey Bob! I live in Italy and I'm only 12 years old but I totally love your projects. I've seen most of the videos you have made, especially the woodworking ones because I like them the most. I find a lot of inspiration from what you do even though I have only basic tools like hammer and nails. Every project you make is original and awesome and I love the way you build stuff for your own house like desks and benches. Keep up the good work!

    Bob, I really enjoy your content and the way you walk us through your entire thought process and you are never worried about showing us mistakes along the way so we (hopefully) don't make the same ones. I truly appreciate your work, keep it up!

    I like that backpanel with the USB ports. It eliminates the hassle of finding the blocks for USB cables.

    Very cool. My wife just got me a wood burning kit for our 24th anniversary. Looks like the same one you have. I can't wait to give it a try.

  • @Wishmasters

    It's amazing, I have nothing to do with woodwork, yet I watch every one of your videos. It's kinda relaxing.

  • @cashkruz319
    @cashkruz319 5 років тому

    I love this idea. I think I'm going to use it as inspiration for making a Tardis lamp with the same features. I may even make the front doors of it open to reveal the USB ports. Thanks Bob!

  • @vaulimere
    @vaulimere 7 років тому

    Fun build Bob. I came across a wood-body lamp yesterday with a hidden compartment, so that's on my list of things to make now. Adding the USB hub for charging is a great idea.

  • @NelsoncraftTX

  • @guillermo60639
    @guillermo60639 7 років тому +2

    That's fantastic! my only change would be putting the USB charging ports on his chest. Maybe add a sliding door to hide them when not in use? Great work like always!

  • @dereksaunders472

    Brilliant Bob, I think I have just enough time to make a couple of these for my grandchildren for Christmas.

  • @mike_x48954
    @mike_x48954 7 років тому +2

    A cool idea could be to integrate the lamp switch into the front of the robot with other switches & knobs and make its eyes light up when the lamp is on (I wouldn't have the eyes lit up all the time, as you would turn over in the middle of the night to see it glowing at you).
    The great thing with this sort of project is that you can customise it as much as you like.

  • @JomasterTheSecond
    @JomasterTheSecond 7 років тому +28

    You should totally sell a couple, lol.

    Just now watching this and it is awesome! I know you said you were not sure if the robot shape was quite what you were going for, but I really like it! And it does make me think of those robots of old. Nice job, Bob!

    I love this! Summer cool. I've only done a couple lamps before, but I like the USB changing station idea.

  • @littleTownGiant1
    @littleTownGiant1 7 років тому

    I like it. It has some elements I want to build into my nightstand.
    I have it planned out, all except the wiring.
    It's gonna be made mainly of 2x2s and 1xs. Plans for a hidden wireless charger built into the top with an led indicator on the side for charging. A lamp coming out of the top. A drawer below the top, made to look like just trim. I want to use a magnetic child safety cabinet lock to lock and unlock the drawer.
    Leds below the drawer leading to a shelf area above a 2 shelf cabinet area also lit, when open.
    I have it planned and drawn, but need to consult with someone before going further for the wiring lol

  • @WatchMeDIYIt

    Great use of the ruler with the wood burner, Bob! I'll definitely try that in the future when I use mine. Thanks for sharing!

    This is why you have 1.2mil+ subscribers. Love it. I'm definitely going to make one except a Lego minifigure style. Maybe a stormtrooper version. The head would be the most challenging part but my son would flip out! Thank you for the inspiration Bob, you make us see anything IS possible!

    • @coreycreehan8197
      @coreycreehan8197 7 років тому +15

      We talked about that on the live stream when he built this. But he already made a phone/watch stand so there was no need. Good idea though! You should do that when you make yours!

  • @zacprunty
    @zacprunty 7 років тому

    Great video bob! Love the design! Cool tip for wood burner I discovered on a recent project - use a razor blade to sever the wood fibers along your lines (you can use a straight edge) and let the wood burner tip ride the knife cut. It helps it stay straight and it evenly burns the line. Might be an extra step, but the result is great! Cheers! Love your videos!

  • @Hppyzmbie

  • @SeanFoushee

    Great project. As a tip, after burning I've found using a card scraper instead of a sander does a great job of cleaning up the burn edges without sacrificing much of the definition of your design.

    @Dloweification 7 років тому

    Another very interesting and doable project for everyone. Definitely a little on the blocky side, but that's all personal preference, I've only ever done woodburning once or twice in High School way back so I'm curious if you can make it go deeper and then sand it so it's not as dark but doesn't get sanded off. Seems like it's more of a finishing touch.
