    good video, very down to earth. I like that you don't use a bunch of crazy tools, or act pretentious about it, but still get a good result

    Dude, this is a great video - not only because of the interesting build but also because you're up-front about showing your mistakes and talking about what you might do differently next time. Good job.

    Amazing. This is called a designer or art work. How much hard work behind this , a genius mind also. Sometimes we think about a piece of work that how simple it is and it should be not that costly. But we don't realize the technicalities , brilliance & hard work behind it. That is why a designer or art work is priceless. Only the makers knew it's worth.👏👏👏

      DIY Creators The length didn't turn me away you did a great job breaking down the project step by step and just seeing the lamp at the beginning of the video I didn't care how long it took to hear and see the completion of the project/video

  • @pmodd
    @pmodd 7 років тому +3

    Nice project! My personal suggestion would be to change the zinc philips head bolt for a countersunk socket head bolt, ideally one that had been plated black or a raw stainless steel fastener. Most bolts I buy from suppliers come in black, so there's no need to buy silver ones and paint them, as you should be able to get a black one fairly easily.
    It's amazing how much cleaner exposed fasteners look when they're socket-head.... even if it does make things look like they came from IKEA lol.

    Great work and project! One comment about your soldering though. At 18:35 you were "carrying" the solder to the wires, i.e. melting solder on the iron and then applying it to the wires. That's a bad technique creating cold solder joints where the solder hardens but not actually bonds to the metal of the wire. This can cause failure over time, especially when the joints are moving. try applying a bit of solder to the iron to improve contact, then apply the iron to the wires to heat them up and only then bring the solder in contact with the wire. The solder will melt around the wire and bond with it, creating a good contact joint that will last as long as the concrete base.

    • @SeenD
      @SeenD 5 років тому

      He connected the negative at the bottom. The reason he soldered one negative at the top because the led connection at the bottom o f the most right strip was blocking the connection of negatives at the bottom. Just look at 14:05 and freeze the frame there.

  • @claudior8298
    @claudior8298 7 років тому +5

    Looks great but you should never switch the negative wire. Always switch the positive one. At 12V it may not matter but at bigger Voltages it could be a live saver. If someone gets into the electric circuit by touching a metal part which is under power, it gives them a shock, even if the switch is turned of because the electricity flows through the body in the ground. ALWAYS SWITCH THE POSITIVE WIRE
