DIY Light Fixture Cut, Weld, Repeat

  • This may or may not be another welding project. Okay it is mostly welding but since a majority of us have to stay at home right now I thought to myself it’s a good time to go through the scrap pile and make something without going to the store. We are planning on remodeling out home in a couple months. With that the kitchen will be getting completely remodeled and redone. I wanted to get rid of the old builder style light fixture in the kitchen and put in new modern lighting. I don't know if this is considered chandelier lighting, regardless looks 100 times better than what was in there before.
    Materials:
    (16 ft.) 3/4" steel square tubing
    (15 ft.) 1/4" steel rod
    (2) 10" pipe for the support
    (10 ft.) Black Chain
    Old Light fixture

    Nicely Done, and thanks for sharing! Thinking about something similar since what I've seen that is available is way overpriced and uninspiring.

    No idea you could weld on an OSB table. The fixture looks great!

      You can weld on anything. Just attach the ground to the project instead of the table. Having a welding table just makes it that much more convenient you can clamp to the table and have the entire surface as a ground.

    Great work! Just wondering what thickness of steel you use when you weld stuff like this? Will the welds blow through if its too thin?

    • @-DIYPRO-
      @-DIYPRO-  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is pretty thin, i'm not sure the exact thickness. I can turn the welder down low enough that it didn't burn through.

    That looks awesome. I'm looking to do pendent lights to match my chandelier. Where did you get all the steel from?

    • @-DIYPRO-
      @-DIYPRO-  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From a local steel supply shop. Much cheaper than your big box store. More major cities have them.

      Yes they do, they are called Edison bulbs, they have started coming out with LED ones, expensive but yes they have them.

      Yes....but nobody does for just a light fixture.
