I have designed a laser cut lamp after being inspired by the Spore floor lamp from Alienology (http://www.alienology.com/catalog/?p=78)
Here it is below, the 16 3/4 inch slats and two central rings are cut from a piece of 1/8 inch maple veneer plywood. I also laser engraved the date and my name onto one slat (concealed by a piece of electrical tape and a blurry lens). I bought a light socket on a cord at ace, spliced on a small switch, and added a 24 watt fluorescent bulb. More photos and description as well as the previous prototype can be found on my blog here: http://theimpossibletribar.blogspot.com/2011/08/laser-cut-floor-lamp-revisit.html
I laser cut this at the Techshop, but if I had a laser cutter at home, however small, I could do so much more. Also, my school's shop and set design program would benefit greatly, please consider this in the epilog challenge!
