Laura´s Industrial Lamps

- Last week i came across 2 of these super rusty gasbottle caps.
I thought they were perfect for an industrial reading light i wanted to make for a while now.
I am in love with the classic Kaiser Idell Scissor Lamps and so i tried to recreate that design and adapt it to the gasbottle caps. It works really well and i am super happy with how they look.
Although this looks quite complicated it is actually very simple to make...just prepare to spend some time at the drillpress :)
Let me know how you like these lamps in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!!

Having gone pretty far down the rabbit hole of hobby metal-working and purchased a lathe and mill, I always want to dope-slap myself when I see a real artist get it done with simple tools I had already owned from way back but never thought to put to such use. Nice work.
The brass was such a nice touch, I love her aesthetic
Wow ... Fascinating ... what a beautiful industrial look you put in this piece ... I'm amazed by your incredible videos and projects ... congratulations, you're the best!
Hey Laura, I'm needing some additional lighting in my shop. I know this video is 4+ years old but thanks for providing the inspiration with these lamps! I currently do not weld so I have to modify to my abilities and available resources. Keep up the great work and inspiration. Your work is a gift. Prost!!
The best furnitue and lighting I find on my travels is always made in this way by some person like 70+ years ago.
Incredibly happy to see this reemerging!
Not only did I love the build Laura - but your UP BEAT music as well! Just do NOT UNDERSTAND how anyone would give you a thumbs down on this. Keep up the great work.
You have a beautiful eye for style ..design and detail...a polymath in progress..well done.
Wow! I love the minimalist use of tools! Most of the makers on TH-cam would have used about $5000 more equipment, but you produced a working scissor linkage with a grinder and a drill press! That takes some skill!
Cool lamps! What a treat with new content from you. I always get inspired and creative watching you work! Thanks so much Laura!
Wow.... 😱 How cool is the entire video, man oh man, now I have that musical loop everywhere I go, or when doing stuff, tnx dear Laura for sharing the magic!!! :D
Lovely steam punk look with gun blueing patina, & once it's in place it looks like it has always been there: Useful, practical & harmonious. I have used the washer trick for rounding corners, but always by hand file, never occurred to me that a belt sander would as good & much faster: Inspiration & education, thank you!
Very nicely done Laura, love the design would love to see more designs like this
What a fantastic build! You are one of the most creative and stylish makers on TH-cam.
wow, thanks, man!
Love it! I think this is my favourite project of yours. Very inspiring!
thanks!!
Xcellent repurposing, Laura! Beautiful project. 🌈
Just watched this on the big screen tv with my little kids. You had them mesmerized.
sweet! :)
Beautifully designed and made Laura!
Laura, I am in love with your camera work and how you film with your work as the main subject!
Aha! I finally found where all the traffic to one of my older builds (industrial chain lamp) was coming from. Great work Laura, and thank you for the traffic!
So well built and well thought out design.
stuff like this blows my mind. i like this type of creativity
beautiful work that comes from a heart of gold.
Hi Laura, loved the build this week, and my wife loved the music choice as she was dancing away! Everyone's happy...lol
haha, that´s awesome!
I LOVE the idea of using an angle grinder in place of a belt sander. Brilliant!
Those lamps are awesome! I'm sure they'll come in handy! So happy the Lincoln Electric gear is already getting a workout. Love the Rosie the Riveter patterned welding helmet too! Nice one, Laura!
the helmet and the welder are fantastic! thanks
Awesome build! And yet another washer useful tip. Thank you Laura.
Laura has gold hands, continues to amaze us ;-)
I have to say since finding this channel 2 days ago I jumped to making things after a nearly decade long drought of ideas thanks for the inspiration! your craftsmanship is fantastic!
oh wow, that is great to hear!!! enjoy!
Yup! Yup! Sweet Build Big L!!! That's just plain FUNKY FRESH right there! Much Love! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
Awesome as always Laura! It's nice to have you back!
Love it! Another "Bright" idea! Good job!
Fantastic Laura! Wow! Beautiful job!
Love the music and the craft. Keep up the excellent work
Uma super produção Hollywoodiana!!! Very, very nice!!
super badass Laura. in search of a sweet industrial floor lamp for the office so this really had my attention 👊🛠
Very cool video, beautiful music and amazing lamps
They turned out amazing! Really great work Laura!
To me, this kind of build really is the core of your channel: great edit, innovative and useful designs!
thank you!
Love it Laura. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Cool idea - well done Laura!
thanks, nick!
Great project. Loved the lamps. Awesome music.
thanks, deb!
Good job on the build and the interesting shots, nice welds too.
These are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of your work with us, it's inspiring to me as a maker of things and a maker of videos.
I was so excited when I saw a new video from Laura this morning! Really creative build and awesome filming/music as always. Thanks, Laura!
:)
Incredibly organized, thanks for the wonderful video!
Love the cable management. Also the fabric coated flex looks great, after seeing you use it here and Simone use it on her Spool I just want to use it to replace all the cables in my flat.
those cables just add such a quality to any lamps! very much worth the extra dollar
Just watched this again with my 4 year old daughter, she was quite concerned about your thumb and adores your welding mask.
A great project and very cool lamp.
Love it!!! I like the electric cord used as well. A little splash of color!
thanks, man!
Yeahhhh... Great !!! It's a very good idea ... il like it 😍 Fast and simple of realization ... All I like❗ Congretulation Laura 👏 ... Have a good day ❗😜😜
The new welding equipment works wonders! Great vid!
+makrylemis oh yeah... it is super nice to work with
Loving the lamps btw, they look fab!
I like the method you used to round the corners perfectly.
industrial elegance as usual
projects and content keep getting better thank you
thanks!!
You always have the best ideas and music.
Absolutely lovely project!
it is very educational to see such a talented person at work. grazie, davvero
Super cool project, and your metal fabrication is awesome!
Awesome lamps, I really like the wiring that looks good left exposed.
You are the DiResta of Germany with out the amazingly overdone product placement. Great design.
i love the style of this lamp
Beautiful creation. I love your attention to detail with all your builds. Keep up the good work
thanks, andrew
Such an awesome design & execution!
You are the best!
thanks, man!
Very beautiful project Laura...hhmm now i want make some of those too! Good inspiration
yes, go for it :)
Awwwweeeessssoooommmmeee project with killer editing and filming, well freaking done. I love your videos, projects, outlook on life, and the inspiration you are to all makers. THANK YOU
thanks, kayley! happy you enjoy my work!
Well done, even my 14 year old son said it was clever! Missed you last week but I understand and I'm happy for you.
i am glad your son approved my work :)
That moment when You grind edges by a washer is genius!!! Thank You so much!+))
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers Laura. Love your channel.
working on it :)
love the project and it can also be an overhead camera holder very cool well done
You always have the best music in your videos.
i remember making this at school back in the day but with cardboard and a small bulb. This is amazing might redo it in steel as well
Love the lamps. Very cool.
such a clever idea, I wish I had the ability to come up with such cool ideas. I'm able to think on my feet as a welder/fabricator at work to build structural things and such, but artistically not so much. I'm very glad I can get inspiration from you and the other great makers on TH-cam.
btw- can't understand anybody considering a👎
Awesome! Love the creative reuse of the gas nozzle covers, and the washer tip for rounding the ends of the steel stock. I can't get enough of that fabric covered insulated cord, use it for everything (so far two pendant lamps and two desk lamps). Can't wait to see what else you make!
oh yeah, these cords add a lot of quality to every project! don´t use anything else anymore either :)
Another freekin awesome idea Laura!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! I almost forgot one of my favorite parts of the vid, the music! It was rad!
i love your works and music.
Very nice, the purple cord looks great! And all done with only 1/2 hands well done :)
Another great video! I love the way you put it together!
Just a suggestion for when you have to do the same operation to a lot of individual parts (drilling, shaping), stack them and tack them together. While each hole will take longer to drill, it'll cut down your overall time at the drill press and all the holes will be in exactly the same spot (as long as all the parts were lined up when tacked together!) if you tacked at the ends you could start rounding the corners off and then as you get to the final shape, grind off the tacks. That way you wont have burn marks in the middle of your part.
Sweet build! i have a box full of rusty gas caps. thanks for the inspiration! Du bist der beste!
Great idea, the lamps look awesome!
thanks!
You are incredibly inventive, hats off.
thanks :)
Another great video Laura. I'm definitely gonna lift this design when I next work on shop lighting.
you know I started watching you because of your great taste in Music. but i also really love the projects!! Thanks for the videos
So cool! Love the final piece, looks amazing. Where did you get the bulb socket and cord? Love the cloth cord.
That's really cool , takes pieces of metal and making something functional. It also looks cool , great job .you should sell them .
Nice idea, Laura. I have in my workshop a bell which I made out of a small disposable propane bottle of the type used in the USA. I cut the bottom off at just the right place (lucky) and it rings very loud and "true". I hang it from a piece of wire through the valve top, which I drilled a hole in. Nice work.
Great design! Must have taken forever to cut, grind, and sand all of those round edges.
probably around 2 hours...not too bad
Super cool! I like the idea of using gas bottle caps as a reflector :)
love it! electrical cord thru the hinges was a nice touch
thanks!
nice work! and beautiful use the lid of gas bottle like lamp!
Awesome!!! This is the kind of work that got me interested in your work.
Very nice work! Great lamp! Your videos are great! I enjoy watching....
Excellent idea, Laura!!!!! I like it very much!!!!
Hiya, way beyond cool, 1st. rate concept, execution, filming, editing and music! I love the way your mind works, anyone could see the safety covers but you could see the lazy tongue lights. But it's not just seeing it's having the necessary skill set to achieve your goal and then doing so. Keep on trucking Dear Lady, keep showing us the way...Steve
thanks, steve!
Hey Laura. Missed you for a while there. Good to see you back. And its another cool project. Glad you got to break in that new Lincoln equipment. Turned out great. The purple was the added flair for me. And as always, the production was classic. Great sounds as well. Great job, sweet lady. Troy
haha, i only missed one upload :) but i seemed longer, right?
Yeah I was having withdrawals! Don't do that again, ok? ;-)
Very nice lamp. Like the music as well.
Great job Laura, I always look forward to watching your next video !
I smiled through this entire build, Fantastic job!!
Looks beautiful Laura !! I think a hinge at the wall joint could add even more functionality.
Awesome! Big fan Laura and I'm sure the TV show will be a blast!
thanks, michal!
Michal Prusek Laura is going to do a tv show? Did i miss anything?
