Low Cost Scrap Wood Lamp

Scrap wood...it's everywhere. And it's amazing just what you can create with it!

Collect Your Scrap Wood Stash

We started with an idea in the head...no drawings, just a hope that it would turn out how we envisioned. So we set about making one side with scrap wood, wood glue, and clamps, and nails. Nope...we didn't even have a nail gun yet!

Side 1

We kept on adding until we were happy with the result for side 1.

4 Sides

And we continued until we had 4 sides made. Now the trick is getting them together. It took the 2 of us to put it together. Pick up sides 1 and 2 and screw them together at the join where they meet. Then continue with each side that way.

Alright Mr. Demille, I'm Ready for My Close-up!

She now hangs in one of our sustainable reuse interior design projects - a multi-use conference room for the City of Gothenburg (Sweden).

Try one for yourself! You'll love the results! If you want to see the entire interior project, hop over to:
