    Great video, I appreciate that you don't edit out your mistakes, in my opinion that is what separates the best makers from the rest. Keep it up!

    • @DIYCreators
      @DIYCreators  7 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Thank man, mistakes happens. I look at my videos as prototypes, I'm making these for the first time. I share the mistakes so no one makes the same one.

    • @FranklinWoodWorks2016

    Nicely done. Just a note for future reference. To apply veneer to internal curves, try one of those bean-bags people use to warm up their sore neck or shoulders. Just put it in the microwave for a minute on high; it is flexible so it will conform to the curve and it stays hot for quite a while. You can still use the iron for flat surfaces.

    This is such a minor point but it's so nice to see a TH-cam maker using a heat gun for heatshrink tube instead of a lighter or soldering iron. Cool video and project. Your humble presentation format is very inspiring.

  • @Nedyalss

  • @modustrial
    @modustrial 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Great job! You should do more of these videos out of your comfort zone. Sometimes the simple looking designs are challenging to build, but well worth it. I definitely saw some design commonalities with my "Rings of Saturn" light, but also got some ideas from this video about how I could improve it when I make the video for Rings of Saturn version 2.0. I really liked the idea of hiding the wires under the veneer.

    • @DIYCreators
      @DIYCreators  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, I really want to tackle more design like such. You did a great job with all your projects. I'm sure I will learn something from you.

    • @modustrial
      @modustrial 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! I've definitely learned a lot from you. I'm excited to see more projects from you where you don't worry about trying to make a build simple or inexpensive, and just focus on making the design as cool as possible.

    • @DIYCreators
      @DIYCreators  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I plan to do more of those. I'll mix it up to trying and balance the of the audience. Working a schedule, hopefully, that helps.

    • @modustrial
      @modustrial 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup, you've worked hard and have a well deserved following, so I think you are entitled to a few self-indulgent builds :)

    @privatear2001 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job! Really like how you showed how to set up the router table to do the pattern cutting. Also how you routed the groove for the wire to run through. I might try to do this one at some point in the future. Only change I might make, if I build it, is to add a jack to accept the plug from the power supply. It night have to be epoxied in, but wouldn't be that much harder. And shouldn't be as subject to wear and tear as where the wire now goes through. Nice showing how to do the strain relief and all, as well. Even heat-shrinking and soldering the connections. You didn't miss a thing! Thanks for the build! Great project!!!

    Hello there, first of all great Video and cool DiY Project.
    For you and all in the Community a little Tipp for working with veneer.
    Give the wood a good sanding making as much contact with the glue as posible (using filler for voids would be se best), that will also avoid bubbles that could form with the wood soaking water from the air.
    to trim the edges you showed one of the most commen mistakes when you are new to working with veneer.
    Get a longer blade and place it on the wood to get a cut along the veneer and try not to fall into an angle, after that you can just give it a nice soft sanding with a high grid paper.(like a 220 paper)
    this will give it a soft rounded edge and blends it in.
    Thanks for the Video and i will keep watching you ideas come to life.

    A couple of slats or "pegs" on each side of the power button would lock it in place when in the stand and make it more stable when on it's own. Just an idea I had when watching the overview. Pretty neat design.
