How to Make a Table Lamp Using Glass Block

Intro: How to Make a Table Lamp Using Glass Block

I'm showing you how I made the Glass Block Lamp using cement. You can make it by making a mold using PVC film and Foamex, and pouring cement dough into the mold. You can see a brief description of how to make the Glass Block Lamp here, or you can watch a video that shows how to make it in more detail. If you want a manual, you can click the link in the video information.

STEP 1: Cutting According to the Drawing

Step 1. Download the PDF in the video information and print it on A4. And then cut the Foamex(1mm) and PVC(0.3mm) plates according to the drawing.

STEP 2: Assembling the Parts

Step 2. The size of the drawing and the actual product may differ. So, cut it to actual size and fit it.

STEP 3: Gluing the Parts

Step 3. Attach the PVC and foamex parts using adhesive.

STEP 4: Attaching the LED Module

Step 4. Attach the led module to the glass block. The button and USB terminal must be in contact with the side.

STEP 5: Attaching Supports to the Mold

Step 5. Cut the wooden sticks and attach them to the corners of the mold to prevent the shape from being distorted.

STEP 6: Pouring Cement Dough

Step 6. Make the cement dough and pour it into the mold toward the bottom.

STEP 7: Removing the Mold

Step 7. Once hardened, carefully remove the mold.

STEP 8: Done!

Step 8. The Glass Block Lamp has been completed.

I loved at first sight. I just wonder how much gravel and what size to use.

[HOBBYDESIGN]

I recommend that you use only mortar cement(Mapei ultraplan). This product is convenient because you only need to mix it with water.

Caught my eye right off! Just had to see how you did it.

Please post a LINK to the light you used!

Thank you for your interest in my work. I used 115*115*80mm glass block. 

This is a link to the LED I purchased. Among these, one with a length of 10 cm was used.

If you cannot purchase the same product in your country, please purchase a product of similar size.

I hope you enjoy your work.

A bit more information on where to get the led light would be helpful.

This project has that great hi-tech / low-tech blend that makes it timeless. It would look just as appropriate in a modern sci-fi movie as it would at the Falling Waters house.

Thank you very much. That's such a huge compliment. ^^
