- In this video we'll be making a stunning 'floating island' crystal tower light. On top of looking plain awesome, it is designed with RGB LEDs in mind, meaning it can be illuminated with literally any colour combination you choose. Trust me - this video is worth a watch in full.
If you're feeling inspired and want to build this light (rather than buying the mini one above), here are purchasing links to the required components:

Video (C) 2017 DIY Perks - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
this man is too good for this world
FOR THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!
@Alfred Alfredo: Then let's make this world updated in goodness so it finally catches up with him and other good folks. :)
I wish I had these handy hands. I remember that once I touched a toy in a shop. It broke after it. No jokes .fck. I am garbage materially. P.S. I cannot imagine how many dislikes I am getting here.
We need to make a better world for him
As a LED lover I salute your work. Fantastic!
I love LED's too! they're so magical!
What a fucking nob head. "I'm an LED lover" bla bla bla. XD.
I came down here to comment how this would absolutely be the perfect Nerdforge project. Wasn't disappointed. :P
Wow. Just wow. You sir are truly gifted. Not only have you created something most people couldn’t even imagine hit to create, and creating it, but you gave instructions on how to do it. You aren’t like other fake DIY channels where you take a soda can and make a propeller with no use, or taking a bottle and putting it on a shower head, you are truly unique and deserve way more subscribers. You are amazing and I truly hope that you never give up on doing anything. This video proves that people can do stuff even if others doubt them. Never give up.
Those channels are down right DANGEROUS! One of the videos on "TH-cam KIDS" almost killed my nephew. He went and got a box cutter and was trying to cut apart cans and cut his tiny finger almost completely off, and also cut his wrist. It was one swipe and the blade got caught I guess and he forced it.
I know kids shouldn't have access to a blade like that, but he only got it because he found a video on making your own candy dispenser or something.
After that happened my sister started browsing, and another kids channel was telling kids to dip Strawberries in BLEACH to make them white! Another had one making a dog food dispenser out of legos, which a dog could easily chomp a few off and choke... and another was for children to modify xbox controllers! Telling kids to take apart expensive xbox tech and likely destroy expensive gear and probably also get hurt doing it.
That's not even to mention all the videos using condoms in the projects... yeah. It's real fucking awkward when you're at the store and your 10yo nephew asks if he can buy CONDOMS! In front of everyone, lmao and at the register yells... "Oh dag! I forgot my condoms! Escuse me store lady! Where is the condoms?" Like... wtf even are those videos?! Why?

@@DanteYewToob Damn, that stuff happens? Holy crap
I THINK U NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP
I am too lazy to read this :D
I remember watching this channel some time ago. I only came back after a while of not watching. And am blown away by the quality of the camera, the incredibly clear instructions and attention to detail.
You sir, have redesigned DIY on the internet.
Never going to make this but hey, it's 3am.
Todomo
Same here 3:03 AM here in Pakistan.
Looking at computer screens at night can cause insomnia, try reading a book with only a lamp or some other not too bright light source
Lol 3:06 am here
HAHA for some reason i have now "The KLF - 3AM" playing in my head :D
Kahe ?
The only channel in youtube without a clickbait..
wrong
No shit Sherlock, it's not meant to be 100% accurate.
Your comment is a commentbait.
darning orvar is pretty nice too
It's been 6 years but I still like your projects and the neatness with which you carry them out, congratulations!
"It's time to start working on the stuff you'll _actually_ see..."
Wait... that work of art is the back? Or inside? Lmao WUT!? WAAAI?!
You good sir, are an absolute maniac. That is beautiful and the meticulous craftsmanship should be on display! I thought the whole point was making beautiful insides you'd see _through_ the crystal... like a nature+tech kind of æsthetic. Man. All that gorgeous work, to just hide away! You even polished the copper! Gah!
I wish I had an ounce of your attention to detail, skill, and patience. If even a fraction of the world had them as well, we'd be on Mars already!
Have you ever noticed you're quite good with words..? The way you express your diy's with such deep words is impressive... I would say you should try writing a book or something.
Sure, just don't let him guide anyone on wiring. While the electronics used here, isn't gonna kill a person, they can definitely shock people if they tough the wires (including the DIY powercord) and there's potential for shortage on the LED's and the other electronics, which could destroy them and thus replacements would be needed. An otherwise cool looking floating tower sculpture, can pretty quickly become a pain in the ass with that wiring.
My thoughts exactly! I just love the way he expresses himself. Absolutely beautiful.
This is the best looking project you've done.
I've been waiting for this. Keep them coming!
Watch the new camera video is engineering miracle
I just don't get how DIY Perks isn't among the most famous you-tubers in the whole wide world, I really don't. every video leaves me speechless its just amazing.
Because of you, I found a new hobby. I'm actually so thankful for this!
Holy moly thanks for all the likes guys! The response to this video has been *AMAZING!*
The proyect itself is amazing.
DIY Perks Hey, Matt, loved the video. For the next one, could you please make your own touchscreen or something; Maybe modify the LCD screen you made earlier with one?
Well deserved! :)
Oh Myy
DIY Perks The king of DIY
Wish I could have your skills and precision...
I said that aswell when I got into DIY but you will be amazed on how good you really are. you should try it out if you like it. if you fail just redo it :)
hole - 1st drill press channel me too
hole - 1st drill press channel firstly I was like you then when I've mastered some work I found out that Perks was sometimes a noob lol like in pc build, that was funny.
before each master there's a beginner
wish I have that accent ..
Well actually the crafting skills hes showing are not really impressing. What I love is his creativity! His ideas just are great. But honestly, that level of sawing, soldering or painting should not afraid you ;)
I bought some of that crystal around 30 years ago with the intention of making something similar with a single color. Time to dig through boxes and find it and hope it hasn't been crushed as it's quite fragile. Thanks for reigniting a long shelved project.
I have just discovered this channel..... I have been missing out on soo much for so many year!
The quality , creativity and intelligence behind his builds are amazing and something to aspire to.
Keep it up! I can't wait to binge all this content
Wow, the level of quality in this (and all other) videos is absolutely astounding. I am absolutely swept off my feet. Love the project as well, I may actually try this one :D
My favorite thing to do when I get into bed with my laptop is top sit back and watch your latest video. So unique, don't change!
Acidic You sleep 4 times a year?

Now I know what to do with my crystal collection😍
Matt, this, again, is such a beautifully made video, project and idea. Well done!
I'm looking forward to the next
All the amazing creations aside, Matt just seems like such a genuinely beautiful kind soul.
Seriously man, that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen made before my eyes. You did an absolutely fantastic job and have inspired the absolute daylights out of me to make something just like this. The mushroom lights as well. I love your work and always eagerly look forward to what you have waiting for us next. Thank you for all your hard work. It never goes unappreciated.
Anyone else who watches all the video's but never makes anything?
HERE! lol
Bas myself 😂
I think about it a lot but then ended up never doing it :)
Me
Yup
"This is an art attack... THIS is an art attack... THIS IS ART ATTACK..."
OH MY GOD! 😮 IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK!
Not only is this absolutely incredible but his voice is incredibly soothing. I could watch these videos all day
Who else is watching this video but is never going to actually make this?
Psycho
He should EBAY them...
@@MrRollie51 true
i'd absolutely buy one.
but this is WAY too advanced for me to make it myself. at least for now
I never thought I would, but I've acquired a soldering iron and wires, (and a led color changing light base that I won't have to alter) and I think I'm going to do a simplistic version of it.
I would make this, but I thought the material would be cheaper, and the iteam I would craft needs a mountain of the precious gems.
I do it all the time. With 5 minute crafts as well
i dont understand how someone can dislike this xD
Salah Jaffar fire hazard?
Salah Jaffar feminists
Salah Jaffar It was too hard to make than initially expected, so they disliked it.
Concerned firemen.
I know right xD
My goodness that concept piece is absolutely stunning.
bloody amazing! The way the switches direct the colour changes is genius, and the whole thing is beautiful!
Just noticed that you're at 900k. I've been here for over 2 years now watching your videos. Hopefully you'll get to 1M!
Stunning idea. Love the idea, and I love the idea of repurposing assorted materials.
LED controllers, Crystal tower, multi-colors, intense glowing. DIY light. Excellent!
This is by far the best DIY channel projects on TH-cam.
This looks outstanding 😻
I thought that I had post notifications turned on when I subscribed a few months ago, but to my dismay I hadn't! But the silver lining is that I can binge watch all of your lovely DIY's. This is an absolutely gorgeous project, I'll definitely need to try something similar someday! Thank you for your videos!!!
i am german. i love your tutorials, because you are speaking slowly and really clear. and you are explaining every step . i love it. Thank you a lot.
You are truly talented and are so considerate for leaving links to everything as well as allowing people to use your concept art! I hope your channel continues to grow!
Matt, you are such an inspiration. I can't believe how beautiful your works are. Thanks for this one, it was a Gem.
You have low standards Haa inspired by some led lights and bit of gypsum
i see what you did there.
Wow. That's a really beautiful. You can make good money selling this. I would buy one. 😉👍
He just taught you how to make it
Called DiY for a reason
Not everyone is into DIY tho.... there will be people that would buy this knowing full well they can make it. I’d buy it especially as a way to support his work
Do ppl still get shown vids from 3 jears ago in their recomendations?
I love this guy, I love what he does and how he does it - and I love his english acccent.
And I can't get enough of this great lamp. Also I know exactly I will never make it myself - but I can admire.
OOooooohhhhhhh I kept screaming in awe at my screen a the final vision !!!! What a work of BEAUTY !!! Found your channel yesterday and been binge-watching since ! You, sir, are a genius !
Bravo! This was an amazing project, with great care taken to document it so that others can do it themselves. This is the kind of project that attracted me to your channel in the first place. Thanks!
Usually I'll see vids like this by Americans
This is my first time seeing a British guy do this.
Nice
I feel like i am watching how it's made now
This LED light set up is just breath taking.
This is so different and beautiful, your instructions are also very detailed and easy to follow. Just WOW!!
You are my fav diy channel :D !!!!!!!
9:52 Wallace and Gromit 😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Binge watching your entire backlog for massive inspiration. Thank you for another great project!
I'm just floored by the beauty. This will be my next little project. Thank you!
i really admire your channel. Im used to do diy projects from when i was a kid and i really have skills and knowlage to make stuff like you, but i miss the ideas which you provide me with, thank you ALOT, keep up the good work :D cheers
also, the only project i really laughed was the one with a phone screen fix XD you have the knowlage but man that screen removal technique shure was original, smart tho, too bad it didnt work haha
This is an amazing home decor piece, just looks amazing :) amazing job man!
One of the Best and Professional human beings. I rarely watch something with this joy and overwhelm. Amazing in all of his videos and Diy projects
Awesome! Thank You for sharing your time, talent, resources, knowledge, and skills with ALL of us!
Dude your amazing at what you do you really inspire me to build things... Can't do much need to work on electrical work and such but I really want to do great things like this.
Vinyl you're*
best diy yt channel :) agree?
Check out Click Spring's clock making series. Your jaw will drop.
Bob from ILikeToMakeStuff, anyone?
Bogdan Alexandru - meh
I really like the use of technology and esthetic materials in a tasteful way to create what I call art. Well done and an inspiration to start making!
As a child, I love Mr.Maker, a tv show that taught me how to DIY. This feels so nostalgic. It's like you are a next level Mr. Maker.
Maybe don't make this if you have cats, that twine cord would be dead in seconds in my house! 😂
Hehe, yeah... not a good idea if that's the case!
Loving your creative designs! Great channel and well done, informative vids :)
That Rocks! no pun intended. I also deeply appreciate your attention to detail with the neatness in your wire work. Even when I was in school for electronic engineering, the other students were sometimes put off with my projects because I was neat much the same you have displayed. I will be looking at more of your work from here on.
I love the effort you put into all of this. This is just amazing. Thank you!
this was the most satisfying and relaxing diy I've ever watched holy shit
Perfection at its best!
Ali Dollar what does that mean did your parents buy u for a dollar
Ibrahim kayani what?
Oscar wtf happened to your photo and I was asking him about his name
Ibrahim kayani oh
Absolutely beautiful work. Not just this but everything you do. Additionally, your process guides are so clear and easy to follow. I will definitely be using a good handful of these videos to enhance my home life. My sub was a no-brainer. Thank you for what you do and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Absolutely STUNNING 😍😍😍💖 Thank you
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Not bad?!?, You mad?!, IT IS REALLY AMAZING, love it!, i'm really going to try it in a couple of weeks!
the studio looks great ! attractive neat and professional just like your builds !
" A huge thanks to people who made it happen (' Family!')' @15:58 . Congrats for your new studio, well deserved. Looking forward to watch more amazing DIY!
Mr. Perks, your videos epitomize winsomeness. May God bless you with bliss and happiness to progress in life whilst engineering such delightful art!
nice....
You've outdone yourself this time!
That looks 100% magical
Clever. Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for covering all the details. This was easy to follow.
I'm only 1/3 of the way into this, the second video of yours I'm watching, and you've got yourself a new subscriber!
Also... I finally feel enough need to get myself a soldering iron, etc... Thank you for the brilliant video!
# me too, on both ;D
Thank you for showing this on TH-cam!
Dear Mr. Perks sir, this was just wonderful. I truly enjoyed it. I very much enjoy your thoroughness. Blessings, pierre from New Mexico
this is the best diy project I've ever seen *-* I mean, this is some serious, tidy, elegant stuff. LOVE IT!
Can someone please explain, how the light gets into the christal when the LED strip is on the back of the wood? Did I miss something?
I find you very interesting and engaging. Will you do a video telling a bit about yourself? Thumbs up if anyone else would like that👍🏼
Whaaaat !! I just saw you had 820k subscribers ! I remember when I subscribed you were at 30k ! waow !
Love this. Wonderfully detailed and easy to understand instruction.
Wow ,it's one of the coolest DIY led lights i've ever seen,great job,amazing.
I love this! I would like to say that a 12V 1+A laptop charger could probably pretty easily start a fire with wire that thin if a short occurred.
Yes, I had the exact same concern.
This is truly beautiful, did you manage to make it on the first try?
You sure have talent-Wow!
Would like to pay you compliment. Artist, technician, and engineer. You sir are amazingly talented. Beautifully shot video too.
Holy crap you are good,how have I just found you 😃
that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful nice work
Mathew... your voice is so gentle and soothing. Luvya. And your work table is cleaner than my dinning table !!
That's Beautiful....I love crystals & I use Selenite towers too. But, I filled a small round bubble typed bowl filled with clear marbles buried slightly underneath I put a battery operated LED light & then sat my tower on top of marbles. Mine looked just as Awesome as yours does, minus all the hard labor involved like yours....lol
But, wished I had all the talent like you do.
Next video: DIY fire extinguisher
Water + bucket.
LazerLord10 that's gonna be helpful with oil or whatever
"Not"
You dropped this.
(No, but seriously, if there's any substantial oil/grease fire, DON'T use water to put it out.)
***** *sarcasm*
Giacomo Arcuri it's not worth it. a comercial fire extinguisher is going to be much safer, probably cheaper and with better chemicals.
So good. Love the power cable.
LOVE the new look of your studio, very pleasing colors and superb lighting.
Great project, looks awesome 10/10 :D
i love your pronunciation of your commentary! this is well made and probably the best DIY vid ever! keep up the work! and for the time and effort put in this project you deserve way more likes and subs! Love your description! linking where you could buy the "tower" was genius and its awesome and helpful that you put where you got everything in the description! all i'm trying to say is you put a lot of effort into great work including the project, description, editing, and the voice over! keep it up and you will become well known! just trust me!
DND crew he speaks to the audience and he always keep that in his mind. Not like many you tubers out there. They are in the strange assumption that every viewer are capable to grab ones native dialect.
really cool, in the start i thought it would look cheap and too cliché but this one can be used in a mancave for roleplaying nerds or something like that, you should concider putting all your creations up for sale on auction or something on your own website :)
Man cave.....Role-playing nerds....
Oxymoron? 🤔
one of the prettiest things one could make, surely gonna give this a try
I probably won't ever make this exact project, but I love watching your videos because they are so dense with little techniques that I might apply to some other project someday.

Brain: Blow on the screen
*Blows*
Brain: What the hell did i do just now?
Thanks, now my brain just wanted to blow the screen
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
That's super beautiful! I collect crystals, and selenite is one of my favorites. The funniest thing is, that just today I actually bought a selenite tower! I had several selenite pieces, both raw and polished, and a selenite candle holder already, but today I bought my first tower. And then I find this video! :D However, I'll buy another tower, if I get around to making this lovely project, as I already have a place where I want to put the one I bought today. But this DIY is such a cool idea, and it would fit perfectly into my home, too. Thanks for sharing!
OMG THE END RESULT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY! it's so pretty 😍
Watched many of your videos but this is the best. Beautiful.
