    Modern and retro. So… combine the two words… the Metro Lamp.
    Forgot to say that for me, this is one of the nicest things you’ve ever made, Shaun. The fact that it didn’t swivel as nice as you wanted, doesn’t detract from how beautiful this piece of furniture is. A bloody nice job my good man 👌

    I love this design, and it's awesome to watch the design and experimentation process unfold. It's honestly really encouraging to see examples of making a design work even when you're not 100% sure about everything before you start.
    One or two ideas for future iterations:
    SWIVEL MECHANISM:
    - Replace the screw/washer swivel with an inlaid heavy-duty lazy susan bearing (or lazy shoesan 😉), topped with a brass plate to match the other fittings.
    - Provided the bearing swivels smoothly enough, replace the fixing knob with a strong neodymium magnet in the bottom of the arm, and corresponding magnets (also covered with thin brass) inlaid every X° along that front arc, to act as sort of soft positive stops (Mildly encouraging stops? Gently optimistic stops? Is there an actual name for it?)
    - If the weight of the lamp isn't centered on the bearing, you could add support with a small ball-wheel castor behind the arm-magnet. The wheel would roll along a shallow rounded groove routed into the base, reducing friction and keeping a small air gap between the arm and base magnets.
    LAMP/SHADE:
    - Add a solid vertical arm between the lamp and the top bar, so the lamp doesn't swing around so much every time it rotates.
    - The shade looks pretty opaque in the video but that may just be the camera, otherwise is it possible to get the veneer any thinner? I've seen lampshades made from laminated plane shavings that look lovely and translucent but it's a lot of work and you don't get that smooth face grain...

    • @shaunb66
      @shaunb66 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really appreciate it! And thanks for the suggestions. Not sure I will make another one of these, but maybe other lamps in the future. I have made lamp shades from lighter color wood (maple, oak, cherry) and the light shines through way more. I was a little bummed with how little it came through the walnut, but I guess that shouldn't have been a surprise.

  • @BonnyHorvath
    @BonnyHorvath ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Shaun.
    Super floor lamp.
    I would have called it Modular.
    For a smoother slide from side to side. I would have opted for a brass disc with a vertical upright edge. Both top and bottom of the sliding disc identical perhaps H 4mm in total edge height. Tightly fitted inside a silicone casing. Parallel to the channel with ample space to add wax for a smooth action.
    Keep up the awesome designs. Love your work.
    Regards
    Bon 👣

    For the adjusting slot, I would consider putting something on the bottom side of base groove. A flat brass track with a delrin/uhmw polyethylene washer would keep the bolt from digging into the wood.

    I also made a lamp; it is funny to find out you used the exact method as I did to hide the wiring. Mine doesn't swivel however, I put some felts under the foot and turn it as a whole. Main difference is the fact that my lamp is height adjustable, it has one vertical part and the horizontal part can be inclined in fixed positions. I had to make the foot quite heavy, so I ordered some lead pallets. Just let me know if you'd like some photos.

    Just a quick sidenote - Modern, in design, is generally referring to designs stemming from the Modernist movement. Early 20th century to just after the mid century, when Post-Modernism started to take over. Mid-Century Modernism is just a part of the overall Modernist movement (as the name suggests, from the middle of the 20th century). What I'm saying is that "Modern" doesn't mean contemporary, it's just a set of design philosophies that affect and shape how and why the design looks and feels.
    And this lamp is absolutely gorgeous.

    I made a floor lamp last year in a mission style out of QS white oak and used a basic pendant lamp for the hardware and a color smart bulb to control with Alexa. I also wired a basic toggle switch just in case. For the shade I used an acrylic flower shade off Amazon. It looks like a hanging flower. The best part is you can change the color of the flower and brightness with a auditory command

    This is a really nice piece of work. I was slightly skeptical when you used a screw to support the back but you could easily create a metal support 20mm (UK dims) chs welded to a plate 300 x 40 x 2/3mm … looks like a T and that would give more stability! Very original piece of work 👌🏼

    • @shaunb66

      I think it would also work better if the swivel was at the back and the pivot at the front. When you look at the weight hanging off the front the the lamp it would be putting pressure onto the front swivel action but if it was on the back it would almost be lifting it up for you?

      @@shaunb66 Using nylon bushings around metal hardware is a good idea to reduce friction at those points of rotation. Also, felt can get "sticky" as it compresses, and it can hold moisture that attracts dust and make things harder on your finish. A thin piece of HDPE or acetyl/Delrin sheet would be smoother, equally unobtrusive, and pretty easy to retrofit. (I'm already thinking more complicated solutions as I type, but I'll stop here before I get annoying... too late.)
