Let your handmade lamp please the eye and complement the design of the room!

Hello to all DIY lovers. I think every home has a light source, be it a lamp, chandelier or backlight, which to one degree or another helps in Everyday life, but such devices can very rarely boast of originality, since the manufacturer usually does not make a unique product, except for those that are made to order, but such a pleasure will not be cheap. This is why it was decided to make an original table lamp from beech with your own hands, and for anyone who has worked with wood in the slightest degree, assembling such a homemade product will not seem impossible. First you need to decide on the material and tools that will be useful in making this homemade product.

Before reading the article, I suggest watching a video about this homemade product.

To make a table lamp with your own hands you will need:
* Beech boards
* Wood glue
* Reismus
* Manual router
* Grinding machine
* Sawing machine
* Clamps
* Furniture oil
* Drilling machine
* Dimmer
* Wires with plug
* Electric drill
* Threaded bushing for furniture with M12 thread with a pitch of 1.25
* Super glue
* M12 hairpin pitch 1.25
* Rubber tie
* Sandpaper

That's all you need to assemble this homemade table lamp.
Now comes the fun part, the assembly process.
Step one.
First you need to run all the beech boards on a surface planer, this is done so that their thickness is the same.

We do this on all four sides.

Then we saw the wide board into small planks, approximately 5cm wide, which will form the head of the lamp.

Step two.
After the boards are ready, they must also be run on a surface planer and then sawed into small pieces using sawing machine.

The components must be calculated in advance; the cutting angle will depend on their number and the desired size of the lamp itself. For simplicity, we take 8 parts, on each of which it is necessary to make a cut at 45 o on both sides; this is done most easily on a sawing machine.

Step three.
When all 8 blanks are adjusted to size, they can be glued together, wood glue will help us with this. Before gluing, it is necessary to sand the surfaces to be glued to improve the contact patch.

We spread the glue over the entire area of ​​the joint of each part and fasten it with a rubber tie; by the way, it can be easily made from bicycle camera.

We remove excess glue with a rag and leave it to dry for a couple of hours, while the glue dries we make three more of these parts.

Step four.
After all four octagonal blanks have dried, you need to make an angled cut on three of them to create the shape of the lamp. How to do this can be seen more clearly in the photo. You also need to make an octagonal bottom.

Step five.
We glue the four octagons into one piece, and after drying, we grind them on a grinding machine until we obtain a shape similar to a vase.

When grinding, rotate the workpiece as smoothly as possible; the correct shape of the lamp will depend on this.

Step six.
It's time to make a leg for the lamp, with which you can adjust the direction of the light.
We saw off four small beech boards and round the edges on a grinding machine; for this it is best to draw a circle in advance with a compass.

We drill a hole in the center of this circle, do it on both sides and on each of the boards.

Then you need to make three small boards adjacent to both the head of the lamp and the base, which will also be rounded on one side, and to glue them together you will need two small blanks, as in the photo.

Coat the gluing areas with glue and press with a clamp.

Step seven.
To regulate the brightness of the light, you need to make a wheel, which will then be placed on the dimmer. Similar to this wheel, we make six more of these, but to fix the position of the lamp.

We drill a blind hole in the middle and glue a sleeve with an M12 thread in increments of 1.25 onto superglue and screw it in until it stops.

To fix the position, you will also need three M12 studs with a pitch of 1.25, which will pass through the entire lamp fastener.

Step eight.
Now you need to make a shield or the so-called base on which the lamp leg itself will be fixed. Its shape is also round, made using grinding machine.

We grind the surface grinder and glue a circle with a smaller diameter on top of a thin oak plank.

For strong gluing, we will use clamps, or preferably three at once.

While the glue is drying, you can apply the first layer of oil to the head of the lamp.

Step nine.
The glue has dried, the oak circle has stuck, which means we move on to installing the dimmer. We disassemble its body, we will need the interior itself, drill a hole in the oak mug and mark the dimensions of the board on the back side, after which, using hand router remove excess material to fit the dimmer inside.

Lighting fixtures in an apartment should provide two types of lighting: bright and dim. Chandeliers mounted on the ceiling usually cope with bright lighting. But what to do when you need to increase the access of light when working behind the scenes? desk or when reading a book before bed? Help here table lamp. The advantage of such a device is that it does not illuminate the entire room, but only a certain area, without disturbing other family members.

Figure 1. Diagram of a table lamp.

Today, consumers are offered a wide variety of lamps, but you can make them yourself. In order to assemble a lamp with your own hands, you do not need to be a professional electrician. A great desire and minimal skills will allow you to decorate your apartment with an original and functional piece of furniture. The following methods can be used to make lighting fixtures.

• bolt with wing nut;
• a can of gold-plated paint;
• 3 wooden bars(1 long and 2 short);

Figure 2. Sconce connection diagram.

In order to make a lamp, first of all you need to saw off 3 bars using a hacksaw. Their length can be any, but the condition must be met: the first bar must be bigger size, and the other two are shorter and of the same length.

Then a hole is drilled at the ends of the short bars at an equal distance from the edge. Two similar holes must be made in the long bar: in the middle for the bolt, and in the upper part for the power cord. The distance of the first hole from the edge will determine the angle of the lamp. When the holes for the bolt are prepared, the short bars are pressed parallel to the long one, and the entire structure is fastened with a bolt and a wing nut.

To give the device an attractive appearance, the cord and socket must be treated with spray paint. When the paint has dried, the cord is threaded through the top hole in the long bar, and the cartridge is mounted on it. A plug for the socket is attached to the other end of the cord. The lamp is ready. Its laconic but unusual design will successfully decorate your desktop.

Table lamps with homemade lampshades

If you have an old and useless table lamp lying around in your closet, you can give it a second life by making a fashionable lampshade. These items combine elegant chic with a touch of glamor, and are extremely easy to make. In addition, you can achieve the desired degree of illumination.

For example, a lamp made of thick fabric will produce a soft and diffuse light, due to which it can be used as a night sconce (Fig. 2). If threads are used for the lampshade, the lamp can be used to illuminate the work surface.

To make a lamp with soft light, you will need:

In order for the lamp to best match the interior design, the old lampshade can be painted. If you apply the dye in uneven strokes, the lamp will look more original. While the paint dries, you should make parts from rag circles to create a lampshade.

Each detail should be shaped like a badminton bag or shuttlecock. To give the part this shape, the center of the circle must be coated with glue using glue gun, and then gather the sides of the circle in the center and compress them.

When the paint has dried, the base of the prepared parts is smeared with glue and applied to the lampshade. You can glue the rag rounds either tightly or a little looser. The intensity of lighting depends on this. In order to create additional decoration for the lamp, the edges of the flounces can be sprayed with gold or silver paint.

The threads are dipped in glue, then carefully wrapped around the ball. The coils should fit snugly against each other. You can completely cover the ball with thread or leave gaps. For strength, the ball already covered with threads can be additionally coated with a layer of glue.

Then the product is left to dry completely: this usually takes at least 8-10 hours. When the glue has dried, deflate the balloon and remove it from the resulting structure.
