- This video shows how to make a modern DIY LED table lamp or desk lamp from concrete, a 2x4, epoxy resin, and a water pipe. This is a fairly simple DIY woodworking and concrete project with a modern look. To make this modern LED light I cut a channel in a 2x4, and put a PEX tube in it, then poured epoxy over the tube. This created a hollow channel where I could insert an LED strip. The tube and epoxy act as a diffuser for the LED lighting.

Awesome looking lamp! :) Watching your projects makes me want to give concrete a try..
Thanks! Always a huge compliment coming from you. With your eye for design, it would be amazing to see what you could do with concrete!
just a note
I followed your instructions to a T just because I loved the design
The light isn't too strong which makes your choice of lighting very bad. It doesn't even work as a reading lamp. I ended up replacing the led strip with an led aluminum strip (you can find it on ebay or dhgate, really cheap) that had an 18000 lumen rating. Worked like a charm
But other than that your design and implementation were flawless
Thank you
Hell of a work for a simple lamp....
I really appreciate seeing you make mistakes and solving them. I feel that a good majority of us are afraid to mess up and think the project is shot when we do, but you show us how to fix issues that sometimes seem beyond repair. Awesome videos!
Thanks Trevor! Always happy to share the mistakes....we all make them, might as well learn from them 😀
This lamp is so awesome! I’m really glad you found that tubing. I’ve been playing with an idea for awhile and that tube is the solution to at least one of the problems (still a work in progress for WAY down the road). Awesome design too! Love that extra back triangle addition.
Thanks much! Glad I could provide the idea, and looking forward to seeing what you've got in the works!
bastante elegante amigo quedo super la lampara gracias por compartir un saludo desde Colombia!!
Great job! Love the design.
Thank you!
Dude I would have added leds that can change colors and on off wifi feature that lamp is lovey and got my mind spining Great design!
Great design!! If you do it again, you can use an aluminium strip behind the LEDs (and thermally conductive glue) and it really helps for cooling!
Thanks Lawrence!
One tip i would have for this is to cut the false ends off of the original board before you channel it out so that the wood grain matches on the final piece.
Or better yet would be to route out the area for the LEDs and only cut one side open so that the finished side (outside) doesnt have any cuts seen.
Awesome job as always Mike!
Thanks much Seth!
Gorgeous!
Thanks Byron!
I love how you are engineering on the fly, the story of my life.
Design as you go, is my motto 👍👍
Wow! It looks amazing!
Thanks @Zarpia !
Sorry for watching video so late - after 4 years. Awesome video! You could have added weight to the base instead of supporting bracket. Thanks for sharing.
Mike this is fantastic. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Flomo! Good to see you here!
Молодчага в полный рост!!!
I would make the removable part very thin layer of epoxy with some tiny clips to the inside to be attached to the wood. To keep the balance in the lamp, I would add some iron from the inside front of the concrete to keep it balanced instead of adding extra wood and changing my design. Good job, I’ll use this idea in different design, as I’ll make it as a bar drop light (no concrete needed). Thanks for sharing.
Love how you ad concrete with wood, it's so sweet looking, stay creative!
Thanks much!
this is great and would be worth redesigning in the future with different angles and LED layouts. i want one for my desk.
Thanks! And yeah, some tweaks to the design could probably make it even better
Very nicely explaining..
Looks really nice !
Thanks Iyad!
Thank you for sharing Broh
All the love from Tunisia 🇹🇳
Have you tried ecopoxy, you can do large pours without having to wait for layers to dry.
Yes, but total boat is more affordable and cures quicker. Also hear a strong rumor that total boat will be releasing a deep pour epoxy soon ;)
great jot great inspiration 👍🎯
Much love back at ya...thanks for the inspiration 👊
Thanks! 👊
Great stuff Mike! Really want to get into concrete this spring.
Thanks Adam! I say go for it!
Really nice looking lamp!
Thanks much!
Lo maximo .....
Nicely done sir, looks great
Thanks Charles!
amazing !! inspiration
Thanks Marco!
Salut ! I love it!
Simply Amazing
Thank you Irfan!
Make something from Used Wooden Pallets
Nice simple project with inexpensive materials. Thanks!
I keep a look out for the update on the switch (but I think I can figure out how ya did it.)
Nice work.
Thanks much Durst!
Really sweet design! Love it. Happy New Year!
Thanks Ryan! Happy New year to you as well!
It's beautiful
Thank you!
Very nice project !
Thanks Paul!
Great project! A good way to help you also with the heat on the led stripe would be an aluminium stripe and cpu glue (just to over do it a bit!) Im not a maker but you make my head spin for a bit! Thank you! And a happy creative year!
Thanks! Glad the video got your creative juices flowing! Good call with the aluminum strip :)
I wanted to watch this when it first came out, but got distracted and just got back to it. This is one of my favorites, Mike! The design and aesthetics of this one are just killer! And I learned a bunch of tricks too!
Thanks Ethan!
Man that was niceeeee ! What I love about you is your simplicity and your honesty. It reflects in your designs. Looking forward to see you in 2019. Yay !!!
Thanks Dave! Happy New Year to you!
@@modustrial Happy New Year !!!!!
Watching this in 2020. Man, I miss 2018, notta pandemic in sight!
Use a string with a weight attached ar the end, tie the other end to the LED lights, and you can pull it through while keeping it taunt and therefore the lights oriented in the correct direction!! Love your creativity.
Interesting idea! And, thanks!
Cool video! May you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.
Thanks! Happy New Year to you as well!
I really enjoyed watching you design and build this lamp. Just an all around sweet project. Happy New Year, Mike!
Thanks Bernie! Happy New Year to you as well!
hey could you make a pool table top
??
I really like the design as you go process that's real- that's me good work
Thanks Jim!
Thanks for 2018! I've loved your projects, keep up the fantastic work man!
Thanks William! Happy New Year
Gotta say that last part of your video shows off the light...as well as yourself quite well. Great video! Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the kind words Craig! Happy New Year!
Nice build...
Thanks!
That's a lovely lamp! And I actually like the triangle at the back! It came out nice! Happy New Year, Mike!
Thanks Jolien! Happy New Year to you as well!
Arrived to this channel late on in 2018 but have enjoyed the videos so subscribed and look forward to 2019.
Thank you! I don't think you arrived late... hopefully the fun is just getting started 😃 Happy new year!
Hi Modustrial Maker, could you put in a link for the type of concrete you use? Thanks in advance, love to see your projects!
Bro awesome work.
Thanks Dinesh!
Hermosa lampara,me gustaria saber que tipo de concreto usa y que es lo que le agrega? es fibra de vidrio? conqué finalidad?
Just an idea, would be nice to see things made without all the power tools and just basic tools. Nice lamp!
Thanks!
Could you please do instructions on how to make it. Because I was thinking about making the same lamp
Nice made, i like the Design
Thanks much!
Great
Thanks!
Hey man, I've just found your channel and binged a lot of videos. Great ideas and content!
One thing I would have done slightly different is to leave a piece of tubing inside the concrete mold so the wiring remains completely invisible. You could even leave an opening to the upper part of the base to place the on/off switch, that would be neat!
Thanks Juan, and welcome to the community! That would be a great modification to run the wires thru the concrete. Keep the ideas coming!
I see an epoxy and pex lightsaber in your future, Mike. Lamp looks great
Oh man, now you are giving me ideas.... 😁
Modustrial Maker I Hope so.
@@modustrial LOL - Yessssss!
Sweeeeet!
Fantastic. New sub!
thanks Howard!
Nice
Thanks!
You are crazy skilled! I just found out jou got many videos wow
Thanks much!
Nice video.Nice looking lamp too.Goodluck and happy trails in 2019
Thanks! Same to you !
"Without lamps, there'd be no light." -- John Bender, "The Breakfast Club"
Nice job, Mike! Thank YOU!
Thanks much! Happy New Year!
SO COOL, LAMP BE MORE NICE IF THE TRIANGLE IN BACK IS BLACK COLOUR... GREAT JOBS!!!
Thanks! A black base would be sweet too!
some stud work ;]
Ha, thanks! 😎
Great job! Given that heat is an issue with LED strips wouldn't it make more sense to glue the LEDs to an aluminum bar? The acrylic acts more will act more as a heat insulator, right?
Yup acrylic is fine, but aluminum would be better (actually have a graphic in the video mentioning this)
Good.
Thank you!
Does the paste wax act like form release so that nothing sticks?
wow that unintended addition of that extra triangular piece to stop the lamp from tipping; just made the lamp look way way more badass!!! great video and awesome design!!! keep up the good work buddy!!!
Thanks Fahim!
Perhaps use metal, such as aluminium or copper, for the LED strip to stick onto for better heat dissipation from the LEDs. New subscriber here! Cheers!
Good call! Glad to have you join the community!
Any tips on where to source aluminum strips to use inside the pex tube? My searches on amazon and eBay have been fruitless... thanks!
(This video is what inspired me more than a year ago to pick up my diy projects after years of inactivity, thank you @modustrial maker)
Really nice build Mike! I really like its profile a lot. The PEX is a really interesting idea. Do you think you'll use it again, or is it too much hassle?
Thanks Michael! I might, but also might use clear silicon tube. It was pretty simple to use, and if I hadn't overshot my channel width at the table saw, it probably would have looked pretty clean with clear epoxy over it (which would have simplified it a bit).
Small tip: If You spray a little isopropyl alcohol over the hot glue, it will loosen up right away, and you don't need to use heatgun.
Very cool lamp, I will make a similar one.
Thanks Erik! And that's a great tip!
Thanks for sharing. Sub'd right after you admitted your design flaw and found a simple but perfect solution. Thanks for not editing that out. It's part of everyone's process
Oh, Happy Holidays too!!!
Thanks Eric! I always try to share my mistakes, so others can learn from them!
Can I get a link to that cool controller you had for the light I dont see it in the description. Thanks
I'll have to look it up....on vacation right now. Shoot me an email at modustrialmaker@gmail.com and I'll send it to you when I'm back
Awesome build! I’m going to this! Where do you get the glass fibers?
Links to everything I used are in the video description
Ok thank you! I’ll look through it again. It’s the only thing I did not see. I’m sure I can find it in google. Can’t wait to give this a shot!
Cat is like "I want to be a TH-cam Star" :-)
Karma loves being in the videos 😸😸
@@modustrial Cats are funny that way. But, entertaining too! :-)
And he is like: nope you're not going to ruin the video 🤣
Nice project. What brand cement is that and where do you buy it from?
It is Fishstone GFRC mix... You can order direct from them or on Amazon, but shipping is pricy. The dimensions of the frame are such you could also do it with standard concrete, but it wouldn't be white.
That cat is the real MVP
True! 🐈😸
I like your videos very much, apart from the fact that you talk a lot (Laughter), but besides being an excellent craftsman, you are sincere in your videos, show the whole process, mistakes and hits. This encourages those who are starting, as for those who are starting to work even as a hobby, it is very important to realize that it is possible, it is a process that is wrong and correct. Congratulations hugs from Brazil!
Thanks!! Those are very kind words! 🙏
Just a quick tip: use aluminum strip instead of acrylic - it will dissipate LED heat better and will extend their lifetime!
yup, noted that in the video (with the text overlay).
The lower base, which must be heavier, can also be made of wood and inside the assembly a piece of iron or even marble. The marble can be found, a strip can be mounted in a wooden gutter to make it look gorgeous! The lamba must still be a little smaller than this!
Nice workshop! What size is it?
Thanks! Not sure exactly, but I want to say 13' x 18'. It looks bigger on camera :)
Bonjour, je voudrais connaître le mélange utilisé pour le pied en béton ? Merci de votre réponse et bonne continuation pour votre chaîne que j apprécie beaucoup.
Awesome I love the light wood and cement
Thanks Jesse!
Excelente trabajo , solo un pequeño detalle , recuerda que no todos los que hablamos español también entendemos inglés , y por ahora el traductor de TH-cam es francamente malo, entendí algunas cosas, otras no las entendí.
Tu trabajo es bueno, te felicito .
8 из 10 за идею, 2 из 10 за реализацию. Думаю, КПД получившегося устройства как обогревателя выше, чем как источника света. И стыки деревянных элементов выглядят очень кустарно.
Полностью поддерживаю)У этого чувака есть реально здоровские проекты а это так))конечно в плане реализации...
i wonder if Hydrostone would be tough enough to use instead of cement..
Never heard of it ... Will have to look into it.
Nice project. Simple, creative and functional. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks much!
He is better at DIY then his comedy acting career
Comedy acting?
@@modustrial probably some of the collab videos.
What did you use to fill the small holes in the cement after it was done?
Nothing....the GFRC was pretty darn smooth out of the form
@@modustrial if that happens, how does one finish it? Also , will the holes on the wood be enough to keep led from heating up ?
You should start make things to sell (if u don’t already do that) just an idea
Google plus? That's still a thing? Awesome lamp, Mike! The shape of the base, and the cantilevered design give it a sleek modern vibe. Tons of great tips for using epoxy & LED's too.
Lol, not for long...it's about to be shut down. That group is currently searching for a new home. And, thanks! 😎
Another stunning design as always, nice work!
Thank you!
Hi can you make videos of projects with limited tools. Say circular saw, jigsaw and other hand tools. In that way, it becomes more accessible for other people with limited tools to recreate it !
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed watching the making
Thanks for watching! I made a concrete planter with fairly limited tools last year, you might check that one out.
WHOA that cat didnt like that. LOL
Real great looking lamp. I always wanted to try to make one. Now i think that I just might.
Thanks Frank! would love to see what you make. please tag me on Instagram if you share pics of your work.
Nice build! Happy New Year!
Thanks! Happy New Year to you as well!
