@JoshWrightWoodworking that is very clever and unique! If you plan on selling them (you certainly should...) you could research about veneers instead of painting it for a more seamless look. You could even engrave words on the outside for a fee. Just make sure you use a form on the inside to help brace it...perhaps a pvc tube?
Absolute genius. Your work is definitely unique and capable for almost anyone to make. Keep up the great work!
Awesome project! You can't beat yourself up too much with "it could've turned out better". There's always room for improvement...as long as you keep trying!! Can't wait to try this out for myself!
Beautiful work! Very imaginative
Absolutely AMAZEBALLS, just too cool! Always inspired by your content! Looking forward to the next one!
You are such an inspiring craftsman. I’m so looking forward to trying these things when I move in a few days as I will finally have workshop space.
Absolutely awesome, one of the best concepts I have seen in years. Will have to try this.
Very unique design. I like it. As always your application of woodworking techniques is impresive
I really like this lamp! Design is awesome! Lights pointing down not up is great!
Man this is honestly one of the very few DIY/step by step videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam that actually took the time to try a few ways to do it but tells what did or didn’t work. And didn’t leave it up to us to figure out which one to do. Will def b try n my luck at this and just will b subscribe n.
Cool technique, nice work.
Great looking lamp!
You sure do break the rules of beauty projects (that a compliment). Love what you can do with wood.💖💖👍👍
Like you, Josh I am pretty happy with this lamp as well. What a unique and eye catching accent piece this lamp would be in any room in the house. It's such a creative design and I loved watching you make it. Thanks for sharing the video. I look forward to the release of each of your new videos.
These are amazing!
Beautiful design and execution!
Love your work 👍
Cool! Thanks for sharing, and thumbs up.
I freaking love it! My 30 yr old craftsman saw doesn't have a stop to control how deep I can cut, so I need to shop for a new one. Definitely stoke to give this and the tray a try. Thanks for the vid.
You are gifted my friend ❤️❤️❤️👌
Super idea 😊
Super creative
Very cool!
Really neat!
I'm glad you put in and explained the road blocks and learn as you go, helps a lot to remember to just push forward and find a better way
Thanks dude!
Wow Josh! Your imagination and talent absolutely amaze me every single time! It turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Nice work Josh I have a similar idea for one using bent lamination's, I made a lamp using veneers a few years back and it worked really well but I love the idea of using a kerf cut well done buddy
Rolling pin with some sandpaper wrapped and glued around, attached to your drill would be ideal to get the inside of your work... excellent fella..keep it going
Very cool. I was actually planning on redoing a lamp I made a few years ago. Might have to take some design elements from your example.
Nobody I know has more creative wood working ideas. You have a very special talent my man!
I totally agree...there is no box for him!
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
This a pretty neat idea! I'm a little skeptical about CA glue doing all the heavy lifting where it attaches to the base. Any updates there?
A note about painting for the benefit of anyone reading this: As this creator found out for themself, surface defects are usually highlighted by paint and finish, not hidden. Paint and finish will actually bring out defects you can't easily see on unfinished surfaces. For these things, your fingers see much better than your eyeballs. If you can feel it, it's going to be visible.
Yay! A full sized video with a beautiful lamp! I hate shorts.
WOW!! I love it. I think I might try this on a larger scale with like a 5 foot tall lamp. There has to be a better way to manage that that joint from the base to the main spiral though. Maybe some splines??? Hurm
Try the green Frog Tape. It's the best for lines. Pro tip, moisten the edge of the tape after you lay it down. It's great for gel stain too. I get really cool lines and patterns with it.
Thank you for sharing this. I've been wanting to do some twisting with wood like you did. I was having a hard time with the measurements. If I could share something about the gaps in between kerfs. If you use a tapered router bit there will be no gaps in between kerfs.
Thanks a ton!!!
New subscriber here! I really like your content. Unique and well done. Thanks! So many channels have the same old crap different day, of which I get tired of really fast.
Thank you very much! Unique is exactly what I am going for with this channel!
That is super cool.
For sanding you needed kinda like a lathe. Or a way to extend you drum sander out kinda long. Then you just thread it on to it and sand.
Either way super cool.
Looks like a cobra coming at you haha. Really cool. Love your creativity and build process. I've never not learned something from watching your channel. You most definitely deserve more subbers. 100k subs before the end of 2023? FOR SURE!!
It's March 14th, 2023 and wunderkind JW already has 108K subs! Far fewer than he deserves!
Great job bud. Sponge sander attachment might work good on the kerf side.
Thought of an additional cutting idea when cutting just the width for the spiral.
What about starting at 90° then decrease the angle of cut, say 5° every 2 inches?
Would it not give another twisted look o the sides of the wood as well?
Just another idea conception.
Nice project. Might I suggest filling the grooves with sawdust then adding the CA glue over it. That might work better than trying to fill the gaps.
That's a good idea, I'll have to remember that for next time 👍
How's that Hercules miter saw working for you?
Anything you specifically DISlike about it, and/or have modified?
Great ideas! I would consider making it upside down, myself.
Very cool Josh. Maybe a stationary spindle sander would work a lil better for the 1st part..and dowels would make a SOLID connection or even a cpl biscuits. Still very cool lamp
There's a lot of different in the availability of the sorts of wood between the US and, in this case, the NL, so out of curiosit: what wood did you use?
Why are the kerfs angled at 20° to the vertical?
That is so unique! How do you come up with your ideas?? Its amazing how you can have an idea and just figure out how to build it!
Thank you! 😊
To help sand the inner diameter, get a piece of PVC pipe to fit close but loose. Glue sand paper to it. Then you have multiple ways to clean up the inside. Sand it by hand or add blocks to the ends of the PVC, run all thread through it with nuts and washers. Then spin it slowly on a drill. One block and a bolt could work too.
Great idea for the lamp. Very different.
I like your thinking 🤔
That’s really cool
Very creative! If you build something like this again, I wonder if you could glue some sandpaper to a longer piece of dowel in a spiral pattern, would that help get the inside sanded? Just a thought. Well done!
Good idea!
also, what type of wood did you use? I've had trouble bending Home Depot pine (I cut kerfs and then steamed the kerfs for about 45 min--which worked well!) But your bending works without the steam.
As you discovered, dark colors, especially black really amplify any imperfections. Also, CA is much easier to sand if done right away. After an hour or so it gets really hard to sand evenly. Otherwise a great project and turned out really nice! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I actually didn't mind sanding the ca glue, it doesn't gum up my sand paper as much a the wood glue lol. Also, do you think white paint would have covered up the dents better?
Nice kerfing trick!
1 solution to the filling and clean-up issues might be to make a jig as follows:
Make one kerfed strip as per the video but without using CA glue and don't bother with the filling and sanding.
2. use a pole/bar to wrap the helix around and glue it on permanently with CA.
3. Rip thin strips (2 widths) of the wood to be used for the lampstand.(The narrower strips go innermost thus forming the 'groove' for the LED strip
4. Steam/bake the strips to soften them.
5. Cover the rod/spiral jig in e.g. WD40 and the edges of the strips in a release compound.
6. Wrap the strips around the form gluing as you go,making sure the top edges contact the lower edge of the forms.
7. Hold the work in place overnight with masking tape wrapped around in the opposite direction to the spiral.
8. Remove the tape and 'unscrew' the work from the jig before sanding/scraping off the small amount of glue squeeze out.
I love it! I have always wondered if you could do bent plywood with a conical bit in a router instead of rectangular kerfs from a saw blade. Then you wouldn’t have to fill the kerfs. Do you think that would work?
Thank you! I think that would work, I actually just saw a video recently of someone kerf bending with a conical bit for a router. It is definitely something to look into
I apologize for laughing out loud when you said "I'm hoping the paint will cover the dents"
Really cool. Enjoyed watching. What type of wood did u use?
Just some pine I had laying around. Hardwood would look nicer but it's harder to bend like this
Duuuuuuudddddeeeee that is wicked. A saw the short and wow was the word. Can I ask though for u cuts did u set a depth stop on the saw if so am guessing was just at half the thickness?? Looks wicked am moving into workshop next few weeks may have to give this a try. 🏴👍
Thanks! yes, all sliding miter saws have a depth stop. I set mine to cut about a 1/16" shy of all the way through.
@@JoshWrightWoodworking a kinda thought that just wanted double check thought might be bit tricky to judge. Great build though can't wait for next one. 👏🏴
Video production as well as your wood working methods are constantly improving.
Also, if you made the cuts in the wood tapered (no idea how though), you wouldn't have any spaces to fill.
Thank you! I like that idea, I'll have to think on that 🤔
Use a router and a tapered bit... That would take a little extra time, and setup, but should give you the tapered kerf. Have to play with bits and see what angle would be best 30° or 45° or whatever.
@@UndercoverWoodcraft Right, they could be routed. I just thought about how to do it with his saw. Although it could be done by taking two cuts at positive and negative angle to form the taper.
To avoid sanding inside, Instead of having the groves inside, would it help to turn the wood so that the cuts are on the outside ?.
To avoid paint bleeding under the tape, you need to remove the tape before the paint has dried.
How do you cut at the same depth on the mitersaw?
On sliding miter saws there will be a switch on the side that you switch down and a bolt that let's you set the depth above the switch.
You continually push the envelope. Nice design. The curve could also vary by kerf width, i.e. use a thinner kerf saw, not sure if that would make gluing the bends easier, harder, sturdier?
Very true, didn't even think about that but different kerk thickness would definitely change the bend radius as well
@@JoshWrightWoodworking thin kerf would give more effective surface area to the glue. You'd be closing a thinner kerf gap.
Hi OK
You can actually see the wood moving by itself as soon as it gets wet.
With all these different creations you make by cutting slots to bend wood, it would be really nice if you had a radial arm saw! ~ Just sayin. ;)
🤔??... As a suggestion:
It would be difficult to calculate the exact angle to cut your slots so that the INNER diameter of your spiral was very close to a predetermined measurement - However - If you were to use a piece of PVC pipe with sandpaper (from a roll) glued to it, you could (perhaps) sand the inside more evenly / consistently? - - It would be (literally) nothing more than a large drum sander. - - Either the pvc pipe, or make a blank of wood and turn it on the lathe to make the same thing, but to a more exact size to your spiral's I.D.
Thanks! I wave a radial arm saw too I just prefer the miter saw. Also, I really like your pvc pipe sander idea :)
nice
am I first
5/16 might be a weird number but 8mm isn’t..
This may be a crazy question but my mother is fighting Stage 4 breast cancer... would this technique work for a Breast Cancer Ribbon??
I really enjoyed watching this project. I think it could potentially work. However, I think I’m going to attempt this, but I will be using steam bending instead of curve cutting.
I think it could work for your purposes too.
Yeah. You messed up the paint, otherwise, lovely
Very cool!
