Wooden Hanger Lamp

Here is a repurposed use for wooden hangers. In my previous iterations of this project I've been inspired by a pelagic marine mollusc called the Nautilus, which is where the design of this lamp comes from.

I had an abundance of wooden hangers left over for a spring cleaning so I thought to recreate a lamp I had made previously.

This project will only take 15 hangers, make sure to have them all matching in style.

Use small pliers to remove the hook and wooden dowel from each hanger.

Using your mitre saw chop the hangers in 1/2.

Then set your mitre saw to 45 degrees and make two cuts per side.

Using wood glue join the two small parts of the frame together and set aside to dry.

Using a wood block, cut out the center with a router to fit a light cord kit.

Then using a brad nailer, join the re-worked frame parts onto the wood block and prep for painting.

Spray paint the re-assembled frames on both sides.

Screw in the bulb and cord into the lamp.

....and that's a wrap.
