Turnable Table Lamp
This was a school project from a year ago an I decided to make an instructable of it.
We had to make a new kind of table lamp using wood.
What Do You Need?
• 2 oakwood planks; dimensions: 12mm*18mm*2400mm
• 1m Led-strip
• Thelephone linecord
• sandpaper
• wood to make plugs (see picture)
• glue for wood
• soldering iron
Worksheets
In the pictures you can see the dimensions from the oakwood and how you connect them.
You have to make 4 squares and 5 triangles.
Dimensions for the squares:
each plank has to be 14cm long, you need 16 planks.
Dimensions for the triangles:
the short sides of the triangles have to 14cm long and the long sides 17cm.
you need 10 short sides and 5 long sides.
Dimensions for the plugs:
the plugs need to be 2cm long.
Dimensions for the Led-strips:
the Led-strips need to be 7cm long, you need 3 of them.
Cutting the Wood
Use an electric cuttingmachine to cut the oakwood in 45° angles.
Use some sandpaper to flatten the surfaces.
Connecting the Planks
Connect the planks with wood glue. Make sure you have 4 squares and 5 triangles.
Making the Model
First of all, make some holes in the wood to place in the plugs.
Then connect them with wood glue like you see in the pictures.
Soldering
Solder the thelephone cable to the Led-strips to connect them.
Then stick the 3 Led-strips to your lamp.
Enjoy Your Lamp
You can turn your lamp in 3 stands.
