    I recently discovered your channel via Jimmy DiResta's work and would like to say: I like the fact that you add the "what you'd do differently" on your videos. That aspect really helps us amateurs not only with the guesswork but also help gather confidence in doing something that is outside the comfort zone. I just started listening to the podcast you, David, and jimmy put out and love it. You guys inspire!

  • @kimang9814
    @kimang9814 7 років тому +3

    I really like how you don't stress about whatever you did wrong -- just make notes on what you would do differently in the future. :) great job, bob!

    Never thought a light fixture could be that straight forward. Thanks for sharing!

    Nice lighting idea! Turned out great.
    To hide the seam in the shade, you could feather the protruding edges with a sander.

      Good tip, I hope it doesn't get buried

  • @RedHillian

    That's a lovely simple build - I like how easily the veneer comes together to just "form". Thanks!

    Bob,
    I just love your videos. Projects you choose and how you teach. Thanks!

    Been looking for months for this sort of teaching tool. It is just awesome. I can now make two clamming wire baskets into ceiling lights as I always dreamed of/pictured in my mind. You made the entire process doable. I understand by seeing things being done. This works for me! THANK YOU!

  • @derweltmonarch9486
    @derweltmonarch9486 7 років тому +29

    Great Video! Have you thought about covering the bottom with some kind of white shine-through material? I think that would make the light much more ambient and pleasant to the eye :)

  • @luizgoes1832

    Not far ago, I did a similar thing, but using LEDs. and the shape was a little bit different, I couldn't fine bamboo veneer around in my town.
