- Laminated Cedar Spiral Lamp from Two 2x4's
This project was prompted by the #two2x4challenge put on by the guys at the Modern Maker Podcast.
www.modernmakerpodcast.com/
I wanted to create a piece that completely removed any evidence that it was made form 2x4’s. I also wanted to try an experiment with rubber bands and a cardboard concrete form for the lamination process. I’ve often wondered if it would work and this was my opportunity to find out. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this experiment /project and I hope you like it too.
Thank for watching and I hope you enjoyed!

I'm not hating on your rubber band technique, but perhaps (if there's a next time) it would be easier to clamp one end with a piece of twine clamped with the wood as well, and then you can start from that end and wrap the twine around the wood and tube until you reach the other end. Idk, might be faster, and the twine could then be reused.
I've tried similar methods. The physics of tensioning the twine causes a pulling force that travels along the twine linearly. As the twine tension increases so does the friction on the wood. This causes a dissonant pulling force against the desired finished laminated spiral. The nice thing about the rubber bands is that most of the force is pulling straight toward the center of the tube with almost no dissonant friction. It makes it very easy to do the fine adjustments on the final spiral.
Try looping one rubber band to the next and so on. Used this technique repairing a guitar body. Great for clamping odd shapes. Bands can be reused as well. Top build there my man.
How about a butchers knot???? That should hold nice and firmly.
Jeremian Lastly ^o^
sometimes you pannic and use what you got
I learnt more in that video than I have in the last 50 I've seen. Awesome job!
Thank you Paul. I'm glad it was enjoyable!
The intelligence this man possesses makes my heard hurt. =)
how does ones "heard" hurt
If you watch the video with the volume too high.
I agree +Paul Dobbrick!
Justin! I am super impressed with this video! so many cool tricks and very well narrated and put together!
Thank you Laura! I'm so happy you watched it! I really appreciate your input on the thumbnail too.
Simple perpendicular physics using rubber bands. Very beautiful.
Thank you! The rubber bands worked much better than I thought they would.
Man, i really love this. Seems like the kind of project where you have to really work things out on the fly, and you did a tremendous job. Well done!
Thanks Ryan!
Wow! Incredible build!!!!
Thanks!
That's just bloody brilliant. Stunning project!
Thanks!
that's a beautiful lamp shade,.. thanks for sharing
Thank YOU for watching!
Oh that is just awesome! I love the little "tips" you're adding here and there! Turned out something I would definitely buy! :)
Thanks!
Holy Crap Justin! This is incredible, I am sure that I could technically do everything that you did in this video, I used to make handrails for curving staircases with glue laminations... I just don't think I would have come up with this concept and design in a million years! your imagination and problem solving are off the hook Dude!
Thanks Dave. I'm pretty sure you've got the experience to do it. Thanks again for the compliments!
This is outstanding Justin. Great project and some really useful tips along the way.
Thank you!
OMG!!! You my friend are a breathe of fresh air for Makers!!! My new favorite!!! True artistry and craftsmanship!!! BAD A!!!
Thanks Aaron! I'm glad you like my stuff!
All I can say is bravo! This lamp is gorgeous and I love the way you explain your thought process! I will have to try this! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... congratulations for your work.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ;)
I love the ingenuity as much as the end result. Love the light, it’s earthly and rustic while being made from man-made materials. The plasma TV diffuser is the icing on the cake lol
Thanks Karl!
Seriously impressed with your lamps. Beautiful job👍
Thank you!
Pretty Amazing work you did. I just love the set of machinery you've. A specific Piece for every specific work. And the Lamp is Love.
Thanks!
Two 2X4's became that awesome lamp....That is very impressive.
Thank you!
Justin, although this appears to be a complex object, your video documentation along with the casual and informative voice over makes this build feel accessible. I hope it inspires others to get out there and Make, Build, or Modify something of their own. Awesome project!
Thank you Bernie!
Beautiful lamp! Thanks for sharing!
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Wow!! What an awesome outcome!
Thanks Dave!
This is the most inspiring project I've seen in quite some time. Well done! I think I'll make one.
Awesome! Do it! Thanks!
ok I have watched some of the other 2 2x4 entries and I must say this is my favorite so far.
Thanks! It's my favorite too. Lol.
Absolutely stunning piece!
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible !!!....great job..!
Thank you very much!
What an awesome job man. I love it, and you taught me a few tricks along the way!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank for letting me know!
Very creative, awesome!
Thank you!
Stunning work!
Many thanks!
Beautifully done! Very easy to watch and listen to.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic job! I did learn quite a bit from your video. The finished lamp was outstanding!
Thank you!
The drawing he did at the starting is amazing i keep re watching that part...
Thanks! I liked drawing that part too.
This was a passion of mine growing up in the 60’s and 70’s but not having anyone in my life that could tell me how to use that love of drawing and direct me in the right direction, I settled for something else for a life career. Not complaining just reminiscing. Still like to take out a piece of paper and rulers and design.
Awesome. Its a beautiful work of art.
Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! Great job
Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant. Since I started watching your channel I've had to keep re-assessing how I would classify your skillset and over time I've realised you're simply the whole package; tinkerer, inventor, designer, engineer, artist and craftsman and more, all wrapped into one. Impressive skills and imagination resulting in a beautiful, inspirational piece.
Wow! Thanks! I've always had a tough time deciding what to call myself. I guess just "Interested" in stuff.
+Make Build Modify: How about "Jack of all Trades" ? While "Masters" may know all about THEIR particular subject, they often know a lot less about others. The Jack-of-all-Trades knows something about most things, and can pull ideas together very effectively with lateral thinking that can only come from experience.
Love the lamp!
notice the initial drawing at the Beginning some of the very few of the videos that actually display Professionalism in action
Thank you!
Agreed. I love to draw out my stuff, but I need to get one of those nifty design rulers
Most 'illuminating'. Thank you. Beautiful piece.
Ha! Your humor is enlightening......
Great looking lamp. Excellent documenting.
Thanks!
This is art bro, I'm speechless.
Thank you!
Awesome job. I love that this went from a literal hand sketch on a drafting machine to a fully 3d object. Great story telling and video. Thanks for Sharing!!!
Thank you!
Awesome project, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! That’s an awesome build, sir. Thanks for sharing.
You bet, thanks for watching!
Hat's off to the top notch old school drafting (even though your lettering was a bit sloppy!). Nicely done!
Ha! Thanks!
that looks so high end! inexpensive material but I can imagine a ton of hours/labor. Beautiful lamp, absolutely awesome
Thank you!
Really nice build, very informative. Thanks,
Cindy
Thank you Cindy!
Genius. Beautiful. Fantastic job!!!!
Thanks!
This project was prompted by the #two2x4challenge put on by the guys at the Modern Maker Podcast.
Make Build Modify can you settle a discussion betwixt my gf and myself. She thinks you were great in science and math growing up,and I think that you had a strong mentor that was into woodworking. Which is closer to the truth?
It's tough to say what "great at science and math" means. I've been an autodidact as far back as I can remember. I've had no real conventional education to speak of other than a home based education as a child and few interest based college courses. So I'm not sure how I measure up.
I started part time work in construction at 15 and have been working in that field intermittently in various professional capacities. There were no real mentors to speak of other than massive amounts of on the job experiences. I also had an uncle that was for all intents and purposes a master carpenter. He set a pretty high bar when it came to quality. However, I had very little opportunity to interact as an apprentice.
I'm smart an stuff to ;)
I'd say that you have an enquiring mind and the ability to know how to find out how to do "stuff". You've also developed a skill set over your lifetime to put those discoveries into practice. Watching the technical drawing at the start took me back to my university days. Damo
For once I actually subscribed after being prompted to do so. Great project!
That's so cool to hear! Thanks for letting me know!
this is awesome by far one of the most unique things I have seen built on youtube beautiful work
Thank you Steve!
such skill and care, superb work
Thank you!
so good! thanks for sharing!
HomeMadeModern Thank you Ben! It was fun to participate in the #two2x4challenge !
Pippi
the moment I think I'm rather clever and too smart.. it's guys like this that bring me right back down to earth. lol
Haha! Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant. Well done. You’re creativity and craftsmanship are amazing.
Thank you Chanda!
That's an amazing piece. well done.
Thank you!
Dude!! finally got a chance to watch this, what was an impressive performance :)
Sometimes I steer away from ideas because I don't know how to clamp them but I'm going to change that!
Thanks! Yup, rubber bands worked so much better than I thought they would.
best video i've seen in a long time! i bow to you sir!
Thank you!
As do i
Incredible attention to detail and a fantastic result
Thanks Glyn!
Just.. beautiful work. Keep it up.

Me too!
Simply brilliant! Very beautiful. The video is very clear. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Beautiful and innovative. Well done.
Thanks!
God Ilove home builders and tinkerers.
Ha! Thanks!
Wish I had such folks as neighbors instead of all the hot chicks.....they come in handy but a tinkerer friend is forever.....no homo....just saying the truth.
I'm absolutly loving the fact that all machine noises are turned down and you record your voice after you record video. I really hate hearing all that table saws ,grinders.
Thanks for the feedback!
Incredible! Great problem solving and video.
Thank you Gabriel!
This is seriously one of my all-time favorite videos. Need more challenges!
Wow! Thanks Matthew!
wow that look amazing...Two 2x4's = brilliant
You win! ;-)
Thank you!
Было бы круче без промежуточных полок, а провод пустить в одной из спиралей👍
спасибо за идею
Fantastic design and build!
Thanks Tony!
Awesome project! Looks great!
Thank you!
Love it! What kills me is that most people will see a finished lamp like this and think... $30 at IKEA or Wally world :/
Perceived value of hand crafted goods has always been a tough one for me too. It's so subjective. Thanks for watching!

Or the other way.a shelf made of old pallets being sold on etsy for £300
You know you've reached "The Dude" level when you build a lamp wearing sandals.
Ha! I get some much crap for wearing sandals in my videos. I never thought that it was a sign of "Dudeness". ;)
What about us who wear crocks ? :)
Well laid out and explained. Very creative and artistic. Thanks!
Thank you kindly!
Such stunning work. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Wanda!`
👏👏👏✊
:)
So much fun to watch with lots of good tips! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
beyond expert. hats off to you. amazing.
Thanks Gin!
Awesome, beautiful! Great video. New subscriber. Any chance of some plans or dimensions for us beginners who are not clever enough to figure it out but are crazy enough to want to make one?
Awesome! Thank you for subscribing! Hmmm, no plans yet, sorry. But Maybe I should consider it. Thanks for the input.
I used a 4' x 8" diameter concrete form tube.
I cut 36" off of each 2x4 in the form of 9" inch blocks (end up as the discs).
That left 60" of 2x4 to rip the strips from. I cut the strips about 1/16' thick.
For the spiral just follow the steps in the roll out part of the video.
The discs get cut the same diameter as the outside dimension of the concrete form tube. The tubes vary but that's okay.
The middle disc can be placed where ever you choose to put it. Just make sure it's level or parallel to the feet and it has 120 degree marks so the spiral pieces line up relative to each other.
Thank You!
if you want to do this but DON'T have access to defunct plasma TV's, you can buy diffusion material in a wide gradient of opacity from photography stores and places that rent lighting equipment for film and TV work. every major city has at least one good rental house that will have a wall of rolls tomchoose from. a whole roll is around $120, but you can get off cuts or specific lengths for a good price.
Good to know. Thanks!
You're welcome! They don't just have white diffusion either. You can get every shade and intensity of every color of plastic (called gels) you could imagine. Also, gaff tape is complete magic.
Yes, I worked as a product photographer for about 3 years. But we always ordered our stuff.
Great job👍that lamp is awesome!!! Much respect
Thank you!
Thanks for this great piece of wood art
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I'm just here to say that you should have done it my way. That would have been better. I know that you just made it and it's beautiful, and I've NEVER made one, but I know better because, well, just because. You have 136,000 subscribers, I have none, but I know better.
- yours truly,
Typical TH-cam Commenter
I know, right!? BTW I laughed out loud!
@@Makebuildmodify Glad you got a chuckle. The lamp is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I'm not a woodworker, but would love to take on the hobby. I was hoping to make a pair, but it's beyond my skill level. Maybe some day.
@@1QKGLH Just wondering, do I make it look achievable or intimidating. My goal is to inspire people to make stuff.
@@Makebuildmodify It looks achievable. If I had the necessary tools, I'd give it a go.
Wow, this was amazing. I love the way it turned out... Great work!!
Thanks Gregory!
