Introduction: WHITE LAMP
I decided to make a white lamp because the space where I am going to use it, looks very organic and clean.
The spotlight also buy it white and the light Too, since it gives better visibility at night
Step 1:
Buy a piece of MDF, with measure of 35cm x 35cm
Draw a lamp shape with this measurement:
long- 33cm
top width- 13.5cm
middle width- 24cm
bottom width- 7.5cm
Then cut the shape with an electric jig or a table jig,
with the one that makes it easier for you
We also need a piece of MDF with measure of
6.5cm x 24cm for the base
materials:
electric jig /table jig
pencil
ruler
Step 2:
Measure the circle depending on the metal socket
of the light bulb you will use
Mark two circles of 2cm in the middle with a distance
of 3.5cm
Then cut the three holes you marked with the bench drill,
off course the circle of the lamp shape, have a measure
of 4cm of diameter and the two circles have a measure of
2cm of diameter
materials:
bench drill
pencil
ruler
Step 3:
Mark a rectangle with a measure of 2cm x 7.5cm,
starting from the center, then with the electric jig
cut it from circle to circle
materials:
electric jig
pencil
ruler
Step 4:
Sand the two pieces you have, specially the edges
to make them sooth
Round the edges just a little, you can do it with
hand sandpaper or with a router
for you to go straight add a piece of wood inside
the sandpaper
materials:
sandpaper/ router
Step 5:
To seal the pieces we will put two layers of glue
with diluted water to make it more watery
We will put a layer and let it dry and then add the
other, on both sides of the piece
For the edges we will only apply a layer and only
glue without water
materials:
glue- white or yellow
water
brush
Step 6:
With a softer sandpaper we will rub the pieces specially
in the edges, to remove the texture that the glue left
the edges changed a lot with the sanding, so we will seal
them again, but this time with glue diluted with water
materials:
softer sandpaper
glue- white or yellow
water
Step 7:
We will give 3 layers of white paint, of course waiting
for each one to dry very well so that it does not look
taffy
The edges were half chopped, so I sanded them and
as it fell a little color I gave them two more passes of paint
The pieces were shiny so I didn't need to varnish
materials:
white spray paint
softer sandpaper
Step 8:
For the back of the lamp I will put a clamp only with
a drill and under pressure with my hand, this is to
hold the cable that will be hanging
I will also add the socket from behind the hole I made at the
beginning and also add the light bulb in front
materials:
drill
clamp
socket
light bulb
Step 9:
This is how our lamp looks as I decided that everything
was white, the light is also white for better visibility at night
