Great idea about the tubing, but Not grounded. If that hot wire touches the pipe anywhere, you are going to be shocked. I build steampunk and always ground
How would you ground this lamp? Could you tell me, I want to make one safely
I found this video helpful. I have some questions, though.
The black wire is connected to the switch. Is this always the neutral wire, and the hot wire is straight through?
Are you materials listed in another video? Was this a straight on-off switch, or was it a dimmer?
Thanks for your time 🙏
Thanks for these videos, I just built my first lamp but I wasn't sure about the switch wiring. Could you show a color diagram please. From light to switch to power. Thank you
Nice video. Can you advise the best place to source the wire cages for around the lamps and the bulbs themselves? Thank you.

Thank you for posting! It's a big help.🙂
You say in the video you use 3/8" id tubing, but the link is for 1/2" id. Which is the one you used?
How do you complete the wiring process? Connecting to a power source?
An extra wire appeared bro? ???
You should use a grill lighter on those shrink tubes to keep from burner your fingers
Good call 🤙🏼
You colors of wires and which set goes with which coming out of the switch section of pipe (pipe/switch) is confusing. Appears you have some type of very short section added to your first connection for some reason? Also would help if you would straighten out the wires. Looks like a bunch of snakes piled up that you can't tell which wire goes with which without difficulty.
I could not make this out either. How did he manage to fix 4 wires to become 2. Thought it might have to be a T junction junction but no it was just like 2 wires all the way through. Sorry I'm not good at explaining.
How would I do this for a two bulb lamp that also uses one rotary switch?
I would wire the two lights together then run two leads from the lights to the switch and power
Could you tell me what type and color of paint you used on this lamp please. Thanks very much.
P.D. O'Keefe I used a rust-oleum hammers gray
Does the switch get hooked to positive and negative or just to positive?
I would recommend the hot leg (positive) but in this style of circuit ether would work
Why the hell would you stop the video there?
What else would you like to see?

What light bulb socket configuration did you use? Could you supply that link to Amazon as well?
Link to the rubber light bulb socket is in this video

It wasn't clear how to run the wires. I have lamp wire from the bulb to the switch then the switch is connected and the lamp wire continues
Not a good choice for the base
Why is that?
+Crane Video it's a book! I use book boxes they're far more stable
just saw your video, nice job. i think i will try to make this light. my only question is what size reducer did you use to put the light socket in. thanks
I use 3/4" fittings. I know a lot of people use 1/2" but I thought the 3/4" looks beefier. So for the socket, a 1 1/4" to 3/4" reducer fits a lamp socket perfectly. Might need to add a little JB Weld to keep it from moving around but otherwise it's pretty snug. Hope that helps!
I agree the 3/4 has a cooler look. The 1/2” stuff I have built in the past just looks small even though obviously strong enough.
@@cranevideo3506 Indeed. I went to Home Depot and compared the two sizes. There are better places to buy them online but it was helpful to figure out what I wanted to do with that. Great video, btw. I'm a subscriber now. :)
What paint do you use?
Rust oleum hammered black
This was a super helpful video. Thanks for the tips!
So happy you liked it
Where did you get the light wire protection ? I have been looking for the smaller ones to and can’t find them
Thanks
RS Law100 light wire protection? I’m afraid I don’t follow.
I think he means the surgical tubing you put the wires through.
Ahhh. Could be.
I find it at hardware stores or home improvement stores. Usually in the plumbing section
3/8" OD clear vinyl tubing. You can find it at a hardware store. Home Depot here in the US carries it. 20 feet is less than $5.
Thanks very much.
P.D. O'Keefe of course!!
What about earthing / grounding the metal work?!?!
A three wire cord can easily be used and the ground can be soldiered to the pipe
@@cranevideo3506 I suggest that you do that. If a hot wire connection came loose in the lamp or was chaffed, it could energize the iron lamp when the switch is open. The ground would cause the CB to trip instantly if that happens.
@@pincushion5724 Meanwhile your body is the ground if metal is not grounded.
What gauge wire are you using?
Did he respond yet? 'Cause I wonder what guage wire also.
Sorry for the slow response. Typically I use 12 gauge stranded copper-wire, with a max 600volts rating
19-mils insulation.
I buy it in a 50 foot roll from Home Depot
Yes 👍🏼
where is the earth metal body death trap
Tubing isn’t necessary.
Not necessary but can make it easier
I think the tubing is an excellent idea
Nice video
Thank you ☺️
Отличная работа ! у мастера золотые руки !
What gauge is the wire that you used?
I use 12 gauge wire
