Slip an old shower hose outer over your clutch-cable to protect it from the elements
Plaats
great idea!
Seemed like a lot of work to me. And all okay if you happen to have an old shower hose of that type hanging around, I would have thrown it out. Plus you had to have the other components hanging around as well. A few weeks ago, I bought a nice lamp, all blue, with a heavy round base, adjustable 15 inch goose neck, round directional shade and nice on/off rocker switch with a plugged electrical cord at a local store for $6. and I couldn't be happier, also came with a bulb. Yes it's nice accomplishing something but I have bigger projects that need attention that I need to spend my time on rather than fabricating some makeshift light, that may pose a safety hazard. If I make something, I go by a guideline, it has to meet safety standards, look good, made with quality parts and be technically sound. Solidly and reliably constructed that I could sell it if I wanted.
I've been using these for wiring harness on my Samlor and motorcycles for last 7 years, they worked out great and look good.
Where once there was nothing, something there is. Thats called creation. The satisfaction you get every time you turn on the light you have created must be delicious. Thanks for the video.
nice idea i respect
but am not agree metallic part s without ground cable
doesn' t respect the rules
old flexible and double shot with rigid part s inside
try to show right things and like other people write to you beware of fire
have a nice day

The dude is just giving you an idea the rest of them is up to you
Nope people are dumb & copy also if you want to give idea's give correct ones that are safe.
Double insulated cable. My initial thought too. It’s definitely a POS though
Hubert Judeaux. or recycle the old hose for safety sake 😉
Hubert Judeaux It is a European lamp. Look at the socket on the wall. No need for ground.
You might want to do a hack on your hacksaw ...like tighten up the blade😉

Great idea! Used it to make a mirror stand. Have several more ideas for this, hopefully don't forget to record it.
Funny thing how they are more useful than many people realize.
Witness the birth of the Pixar lamp's hillbilly cousin.
"Shitter's full!!"
Strange that it wasnt shown how the lamp was to sit flat with the three wires sticking out the bottom. Also the mounting ring for the shade covers the necessary vent holes in the shade.

@fung whyou They do.
Wow! That's neat, you are making me get a storage tote just for items to be reused into making different projects. Thanks
Dr
Love this idea. Love recycling.
Great idea but not very safe WITHOUT safetyGround! Also that wood base isn’t heavy enough to stabilize the lamp. This is a perfect example of house fire.....metal tube + untreated wood(base) + no ground + unstable object = House Fire 🔥
Just a heads up. Do not solder wires like that. It's a fire hazard. (And illegal in my country) Illegal as if this starts a fire. Your insurance company won't pay out and you're in trouble with the law.
Lman...eeh wise guy no need to act like that....cool down !!!
What's illegal about it

@@aykfc Solder isn't rigid like copper, it has a tendency to flow under pressure. Over time the screw connections will loosen, leading to higher resistance and even higher losses, eventually burning. NEVER tin stranded wire when it'll be clamped by a screw, always use ferrules.
@@brainndamage , he isnt even soldering correctly.
I love it - using everyday trash to make something you would have wasted money buying. Plus it is so much more fun to create your own!
Thank you!!!
I was wondering what to do with all my corrugated shower hoses. They're taking over my house.
Very impressive.
Excellent demonstration on how NOT to solder correctly.
Nerdily enough that was my first thought. Heat up the thing(s) to be soldered: not the solder. Lol.
Very nice
Scott Baker tenlo en cuenta
draggy76 Not a soul here was talking about soldering motherboards mate. When you're working with wires (like the guy in the video) you heat the wires and melt the solder on top. I believe it's so that the solder a actually adheres to the metal instead of just falling off
draggy76 I spent 14 years mending and building audio electronics amongst other things. Fixed over 3,000 amplifiers, juke boxes, tape machines etc. I would touch the soldering iron bit to both things being soldered, at the junction between them. How long for was a matter of experience. Then I fed in the solder to flow over the heated surfaces. Just sayin'.
Mr Inventor God bless you these are the kind of vidios I like to see. Others throw away things and pay so much just to get something that they can learn to do, but there are a lot, a lot of lazy people. I wish I could live near a place where I could learn, buf it has to be also for wheelchair people like me.
Very clever!!! thanks for that.
Did not count but it's ten or so items that did not end up in landfill, instead a new lease of life. Thats cool!
Mick Kelly Do you know what happens to landfills? They get covered up and become luxury home sites. As the landfill in Highlands Ranch, Colorado did. The place is now expensive property for homes and businesses.
Mick Kelly n
There'll be a landfill hole filled with the dead body of the person who uses the lamp when it shorts out and ends their life. So landfill wins.
Beware of the Fire Hazard!!!!
Hi,
I like your Idea though i have a comment.
You may NEVER EVER put soldering tin on the copper leads in the fitting before mounting them wiht scews!!
In time the tin will start to creep away from the screw and there will be a bad connection what will start to sparck. And creating a light bow. Eventually things become warme and will burrn. So just skip the tinning part put the screw directy on the copper and you will be fine.
Cheers !!!
It was hardly what one could call 'tinning', was it? The worst and most ineffectual use of a tinning process that I have ever witnessed. Clearly, this guy hasn't a clue, especially about electrical safety.
Jeroen Thijssen first time I ever heard about it, it’s that a physics occurrence? I do some minor electric and electronic works mostly by myself , I like to fix things for my friends as a hobby! I tend to solder two or more wires instead of just attaching each other. Where I can look further info about everything you said? I’m really interested about it. Thank you in advance.
mike Something Hi Mike. I learned this when i was working as prototype workshop engineer mounting pacemaker electonics some 25 years ago. Havent seen a study nor insvestigated further assuming the engineers around me knew what they where talking about. (They usually knew).
Jeroen ,you are guessing something that doens't exist, especially with little load such a light bulb, most of the electronics devices the main cable is soldered even on pcb or direct to transformers.I have done this many times and i never had a single ''fire'' !!!
That's correct, Jeroen, although it's really the lead in the solder, not the tin, which "creeps". I've seen it happen numerous times after people have "tinned" wires before tightening a screw on them. The wire always becomes loose.
Wow My Missus would be really impressed if that graced our living area, I mean it has such a great look of quality, design and finish about it. You should mass produce this 'invention' I can see you selling milions to the under developed countries in the world. Keep re-inventing the wheel, it's great for humanity that inventive brains like yours exist.
Nice alternate use of corrugated hose. I'm sure there's dozens of others. A good example of how we can improvise a lot of things that we'd quite usually call junk.
Life's too short. And when this shorts it's even shorter.

“Pixar”...the beginning!
Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Loved the project up to the base , I'm all for wood but that just declassified the project . I figured you where going for a lamp hanging from ceiling .. happy diy. .
In the U.K. its a requirement that the metal parts be EARTHED-- be surprised if its not the same elseware

Cool down language expert ! He only make a mistake...ok, do not kill him !!
Electrical regulations in the uk are very strict no so in many countries in Europe thats why the uk has the fewer fatalities than the rest of europe
Yes, here in Norway nothing is earthed apart from sockets in the utility rooms, the kitchen, garage and outside. No fuses on the plugs either. Not sure why the regulations are so different.
Isn't is just safer to buy the pre-wired, UL Listed lamp cord from Ikea for $4? Sometimes reusing/upcycling garbage from a bygone era is just asking for trouble.
"Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should."
That's Good.....
Well I suppose it would be easier to drive to Ikea and purchase the new one shipped from Scandinavia so you didn’t have to actually do any work yourself on recycled materials...sure. Sounds good Eco Mouse.

Muy bonita idea, gracias amigo!
ESPECTACULAR E INCREÍBLE !!
When the fire inspector finds the remains of this in the ashes of a house, the home owners fire insurance will be cancelled.
I was thinking the same thing. I restore and customize motorcycles so I appreciate the repurposing of things. But, so many of these videos were probably fun for the "maker" but in reality they are impractical and often dangerous.
Life is dangerous, not lamps. Even in your America.
.
Industrial chic hazard...
@@rexmericle5068
No disrespect to you but why dangerous? the hose is lined with rubber, the electrical cord is in it's original casing, the connections are properly soldered, the base is non-conductive, the shade is attached as it is in a existing lamp. I might do something like this. Please let me know what I'm missing.
So, I was gonna throw a lamp away, looked just like that... Maybe I can make a shower hose out of it...
Hahaha!!!
Did it work ? Did you make a video to waste 3 minutes of our lives ?
Ahahah...minchia che ridere!!!
Riot4Peace
leave it plugged in. helps with the hard to reach back areas and trims your toenails at the same time.
Or you can make a jack Daniels lamp or any hard drink bottle you have left over my older brother does this all the time I have one in my room.
Great idea on using parts layin' around the house. I save every thing 'cause I can later think of something to do with it.
That would look beautiful in my cardboard home!!
Lemme suggest a rebuttal to all of us haters. This vid is a great instructional on how and what we can do with what we have in our garages. That we can BUY a lamp cheap is not the point here.
lemme suggest that you review the electricity codes. Their is no earth on this , he has also made the exterior of the hose out of steel- which, if you needed advice- conducts electricity. The haters are justified.
nobody
Lemme suggest that you too look at the electric codes. There is no “earth” on any of my lamps. In fact I would challenge you show me any free standing lamps that do. As for the steel exterior of this lamp it is called, and I quote, “Flexible metal conduit” look it up in your code book. I would challenge that the use of the shower hose may even be a better choice as metal is in fact encasing a rubber hose offering a second barrier of protection with the wires insulation being the first. I will concede that the termination at the wood base leaves a lot to be desired. But all said it is an ingenious idea of using what is on hand rather than just buying it. And that is what fman4234 was trying to say. So sorry but haters are not justified.
Behricks Woodworks i think his point had more to do with not having any quality control on the parts that DIY-ers will use, and with electricity, it adds to the level of danger to projects that most people have little awareness of.
Partially justified......
Having worked in the fire department for several years, people have a difficult time with electrical components off the shelf........much less putting ‘found’ objects to use.

Grazie! Davvero. Un plauso all'inventiva, e alla fantasia nel riciclo delle cose. Un cordiale saluto da Fausto (Roma, Italia)
Where is the earth wire ,,,totally Dangerous,,,illegal in New Zealand to this.
Vince - I totally agree, I think its the same here in the UK aswell. Anything metal that you can touch that is part of any appliance thats powered by mains ac voltages, HAS to be earthed, so you don't get 'floating' voltages appearing on the metal by induction, or, if the appliance develops a fault, the electricity doesn't use YOU as the earth instead(!)
Vince Mulqueen yes, sorry to say but the pinch point between the flexible metal tube, the wood and the wire cable seem to be where the wire insulation might fail first. Drilling a hole, the diameter of the flexible hose, about a third way through the wood and securing it with hot melt glue should make it safer. Also, was that thick Pb solder used inside the flexible tubing? If so, may I suggest copper instead. If you use insulated strained copper wire, it can handle many more times the flexing without generating the harmful lead (Pb) dust. Finally, using 3 conductor cable and securing the ground to all electrically floating metal parts in the lamp head should make it internationally code acceptable.

It is not UL approved therefore, when the light burns your house down, the insurance company doesn't have to pay for the damages.. I'm just sayin
How do you ever get out of bed in the morning?
WireTamer
Well it's certainly not to a fire alarm going off.
Just changed shower head assembly a few weeks ago, ....knew the armored hose could shield an electric wire in a pinch somewhere or come in handy....resourceful video for resourceful people.
Excellent demostracion ,save money too thank you
Down right dangerous and he probbaly has no idea why. Exposed metal parts not earthed, sharp edges with no mechanical protection for the cable on entry.
David Storrie lol no kidding.... House fire waiting to happen.... Save yourselves $500 000 and buy a $5 desk light.
I've found those shower hoses too flexible to make the wire stay where you put it, I tried making wall sconces this way and they looked like wilted flowers, had to add a piece of 10gauge copper wire inside just to stiffen them up. Good job though.
They put two pieces of stiff wire inside didn't they? For that reason.

$100 saddle on a $50 horse. LOL.
All that work, to obtain this?
It isn't worth the trouble, in my opinion.
That's what I was thinking. I mean, new maybe $15 or a yard sale/flea market for $5! But if you're just wanting to fill some void in your day...
@@rexmericle5068 It is about conserving resources. Yes you can buy a 15$ IKEA lamp, but 5$ goes to tax feeding the industrial military complex and the other 9.90$ goes to a swizz tax haven. only 9 cents goes to shipping from India and the Indian assembling and painting the lamp poluting the environment gets 1 cent. Short-circuiting that chain of destruction and corruption, by making a lamp yourself, is much more satisfying.
Maaybe in Europe.
Maybe in Europe but in the states we have this thing called recycling. In Europe you need all those taxes to support your horde of refugees!
@@Tore_Lund WELL QUITE, BUT I'D RATHER TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK, EVEN MORE SATISFYING.
Good way to recycle very clever well done 👏

Cleaver idea 🤗🤗 I have one of them kicking around from when we did the bathroom renovation 😹😹😹 have to look for it but rather than a lamp I was thinking along the lines of an iPad holder on the chair that way I won’t need to hold my iPad when watching UA-cam or catchup TV 😹😹😹😹😹 thanks for sharing the idea love it 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Even though the flexible hose will protect the wire from outside influence but the two metal rods (1:35) inserted within (as they bend and flex) will rub against the insulation, exposes the wire/s, and then electrocute someone.
After you make one of these, give it to your enemy and it will set his house on fire!

I introduced this very idea to native tribes while doing my missionary work in central Africa.
I got two responses .......... first was; "What's electricity?" Second was; "A little tough going down, but once you cut the head off the snake, it was actually quite delicious!"
A typical missionary spewing atrocity literature. AAfrica has culture unimaginable by any western whiteman.
"Our land was vast and green. We had no boundaries and no taxes. The medicine man was free. We toiled when the sun was up and made love to our women at night. Only a white with a cross can foolishly think that he can improve a system like this!" - Unknown
Ha! Too neat. TFS. Cheers!
Practico..rustico y bello..yo la use para una corona navideña
I agree with last comment ! Very dangerous , clearly done by someone that is a person that likes to do crafts but clearly dont have any knowledge of the danger of messing with electricity , I saw various things but I wont explain , people that knows will understand juts please don't do this!!!
Faccio prima a comprarmi direttamente una lampada da ikea
Bravo! e poi il risultato per me fa schifo...
Ficou lindo amei. 😃😙
Thank you!!
Well there 3 min. of my life down the drain.
Were you bored,I go get this type of lamps from the goodwill,$1.00 a pop.
+Silver Cat - Hahahahahahahahahaha! 100%
Silver cat....one day u will have to. Pay for something like that. ..learn from these. Guys!!!
+M - That " Hose " worth more! He said you can get a " Lamp " at Goodwill for a $1.00. Unfortunately, he's right and 100% correct!
love it! fun!
I think that's a fantastic idea in a world where we throw away everything ,I say everything can be repurpass just a little bit of effort.Great video
Great idea. Maybe you should add a little more weight on the base.

IKEA has this for 1:80$ 🙈
Arm Eric is
Is that anything like $1.80?
Why spend that $ 1.80 when you can use what you can find around the house or garage and have fun at the same time.
Yeah right ,you missed a digit
May be there is no IKEA there 🤷♀️

Ohh...such a hard work..i cant even fix my loose handphone cable 😄
I love finding new uses for things instead of the item going to the trash which we can challenge ourselves to see what we can do to see where our creativity can take us...
Great , you just forgot to connect an earth ! ! !
At 00:07 he uses a hacksaw to cut the tube. It doesn't look easy. Either the hacksaw is extremely blunt, or the hose is metal.
The hose is also clamped in a vice without showing any distortion, so is either very sturdy plastic, or is metal.
W Winterheart... looks like ss when he's cutting it with the hacksaw mate. They are not all plastic at all, I would definately earth it in this case.
The cable itself is double insulated
WireTamer ....yes, insulated but not earthed. So for arguments sake if we assume it is a metallic flexihose and we assume a kid plays bendy snake lamp with it every day and it eventually cuts through two layers of insulation (more than likely right where the cable exits the flexihose at the base because there looks to be an excellent friction point there), and eventually (because it's not earthed), be a hazard? Just saying.. safety first and all that...
Not all countries use an earth connection.
Not safe and pointless a fire hazard
So is driving any car... get over it.
Why is it not safe, modern LED light bulbs give off little heat, and the shade and lamp holder are both off the shelf certified electrical products.
but the assembly part of it is weak at best from start to finish. The soldering is not soild, the hose can cut the insulation on the wire at the base. One way to make it relatively safe without changing the design is to use low voltage components and a wallwart. This way it won't catch on fire when you have bent the hose back and forth 30 times and the insulation is stripped, and the strands in the wire gets cut off one by one until there are so little left of them that they melt or spark, and u have a fire going before you know it.
It does NOT matter if you use all the correct and certified components when you use them all the wrong way.......

Very good idea , i am very interested like this creative innovative ideas , thanks & good
Merci une tres très bonnes idees
Yeah he didn’t invent anything he’s just cheap
usabadone resourceful is creative thinking. Nothing wrong with prototypes
U saba doneness The
usabadone yes. by the time he finished his lamp his wife had already plugged in the new one AND she was getting her cookies off with the new shower head he installed earlier in the day
Um it's cheaper jus to buy the damn lamp , unless you have time ( no job )
Or in 3rd world , cuz you have no $$$.
What did that take like. Bout 4 hrs to make . Lol lol
Rudy Padilla Cheaper? Its not about price, how are you so sure this man didn't have these parts around his house?? It's a do it yourself..... maybe he gets joy out of building things. You sad old man.
Rudy Padilla You can't buy inspiration!!!!
Rudy Padilla i would build that in 30 minutes or less, the shoddy wiring is the real issue
Karlen Ghratyan i dont speak that language, and youtube wont let me copy it to run through translater
Your name suits you, rude
La base en concreto te quedaría mejor porque es mas pesada. Preciosa idea🥰🥰
Legal. Irei fazer.
People, don't play with electricity if you're not qualified! The uploader should remove this video as it promotes unsafe and illegal practices.
Excellent Work.
I like the way you soldered the loop on the wires to socket. Watch out for sockets that dont allow the screw terminals to come all the way out as shown.
Forget the haters...as long as you keep your mind working...keep doing what doing and have fun...good job!👍👍
Wow.great.what did you put between cable and hose?
I use the shower hose to flagellate myself when I think of making crappy lamp projects.
Great job
