Thanks for showing your mistakes and your fixes. It shows you're human, and helps us learn how to solve problems..
i have a light that adjusts brightness by tapping a small touch sensitive spot with your finger. i feel like if/when i do this build i would integrate that somehow i think it would be a cool spin on it!!!
good video, very down to earth. I like that you don't use a bunch of crazy tools, or act pretentious about it, but still get a good result
ęo9
rasvial I agree on that
Great video, sir! Once again you proved that with minimal tools, a person willing to take some time and follow a plan can be a DIYcreator and build a functional, modern, and beautiful lamp. Bravo!
Loving the videos and how you're not afraid to show your mistakes/teach us how not to do it! You inspire me to make something original!
Yeah please do more like this! It's awesome to see wood and some electronics merge together to create household items we all use. Also, it's cool to see you do it all without power tools!
Amazing. This is called a designer or art work. How much hard work behind this , a genius mind also. Sometimes we think about a piece of work that how simple it is and it should be not that costly. But we don't realize the technicalities , brilliance & hard work behind it. That is why a designer or art work is priceless. Only the makers knew it's worth.👏👏👏
That's awesome! I was very surprised that this project was (for the most part) completed using just hand tools! Appreciate the time, effort, and craftsmanship that went into this video!
Very nice design and execution! Well done!
Thank you
DIY Creators what's the name of the yellow cutting tool that you are using
it's a miter (/mitre) block :)
Anna Green thank
Miter box amzn.to/2hHEcL5
Dude, this is a great video - not only because of the interesting build but also because you're up-front about showing your mistakes and talking about what you might do differently next time. Good job.
Thank you! :)
As ive got a nerve disease and can't work anymore im starting to miss building stuff like this more and more, and its good to see the pride u have in making it, ill go ahead and try to hobby it a lil bit more and maybe got some ideas for you!
I appreciate you letting us learn from your mistakes. it's not enough to tell us what not to so, sometimes it helps to learn with you.
Nice project! My personal suggestion would be to change the zinc philips head bolt for a countersunk socket head bolt, ideally one that had been plated black or a raw stainless steel fastener. Most bolts I buy from suppliers come in black, so there's no need to buy silver ones and paint them, as you should be able to get a black one fairly easily.
It's amazing how much cleaner exposed fasteners look when they're socket-head.... even if it does make things look like they came from IKEA lol.
This is nice lamp on worktable. Its better use aluminium under LED for cooling and fire prevence. 😉
Your pretty dope Glen I admire your creativity, craftsmanship and willingness to teach others. Thanks Glen!!!
Trabalho incrível. Ótima execução e atenção aos pequenos detalhes. Parabéns!
This came out awesome. Good job man!
You sir is making art.Keep up the good work:)
Thank you:)
Parabéns, belo trabalho. Ferramentas simples e o resultado foi uma peça linda.
I love how you're using more hand tools now, for folks like me that don't have access to power tools like you it's a real big help
Wow this is so amazing u are very talented!
This guy is a genius
I really enjoy your videos. They are both thorough and creative. You area a very skilled designer/craftsman who has a knack for explaining difficult processes to people who may not have prior experience doing them. I also appreciate your mild temperament and willingness to allow yourself to recover from mistakes without starting over.
I like that you didn't use all your big machines for this video, this is something i can try at home!
Beautiful lamp, make another please.
Great video again! i like it that you show flaws and ways to improve on it or to cover them.
Thank you. I know showing mistakes are not a sexy thing but I do it to help viewers.
Love all your videos, I will echo Scott by saying it’s refreshing to see your mistakes as well as your victories. Love the lamp, came out beautifully.
I really enjoyed watching your gift in action. I've never seen an carpenter who is also an electrician, so inspiring. 👏🏾
you are the Sir Sir, wonderful
Glenn, as always mate, bloody good work!
Out of all the wood working channels I am subbed to. Your's is the only one doing cool little interesting home decor projects from scratch. Love it.
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
thank you for sharing your awesome projects,
my nephew is 7 years old, he was so inspired. we went to Lowes. we made a Tray. it came out really nice.
I was trying to find more Black Carpenters so he can see more positive Black Men, that look like him, I looked for 2hrs. nothing came up, not even your channel, I found you by accident. your channel is truly a blessing to us.
20minutes of my time well spent looking at this video GREAT JOB TO YOU THUMBS UP👍
Ha thank you thrilled to hear. I was worried that length of the video would turn viewers away. Then I thought about the info I would have to cut out which would have defeated the purpose.
DIY Creators The length didn't turn me away you did a great job breaking down the project step by step and just seeing the lamp at the beginning of the video I didn't care how long it took to hear and see the completion of the project/video
Nice adjustment of parts)))
Glen, this thing turned our fantastic! That wood is beautiful! I'm glad you didn't stain it!
nice build, love your vids. Sanding the plexiglass for frosting usually works too!
thats a very nice lamp bro!
OMG That is crazy good looks like something from Crate and Barrel!! BTW that's a compliment
CB2
I think this lamp is better than the stuff from crate and barel...😂😂
I love watching how everything turns out! I can't even use a power drill properly, but the directions are so clear and detailed, I feel like I could make all of this at home.
Thank you :) that's my goal.
You are a refreshing voice in the DIY/woodcraft space. Thank you! I’m a subscriber and look forward to more projects.
Thank you!! You are a master!!!
That looks really nice. Well done!
Thank you
Home Depot and other big box stores sell 24" x 48" diffusers with a variety of textures in clear and milky white that are normally used under fluorescent lights. They are about $10.00 and could be cut down to work and would eliminate the painting. It would add cost but give you a reason to build several more. This is a very cool design.
Love your projects man, they are both creative and practical. Just the right amount of instruction and inspiration.
You the man my brother awesome project man I like it good job dude :)
Hey Thanks man :)
No problem my friend great job :)
Amazing, man. Good job.
Hi, I’m a Product design student and I’m currently working on a lamp project, your video has helped me a lot thank you so much
Love it Glenn!! I like your hands-on creative way in making this very fine lamp!
THAT SO GOOD ..
Great Lamp! Love it. Great.
Hand sawing Red Oak. . . You the real MVP
Really like you process, descriptions/ voice over, and the design.
Damnit you're so handy! I wish I had skills like this haha. Love your stuff. Dont know how you ended up on my recommendations but I'm glad. new sub.
Nice idea, I might have to build one of those for my computer desk! :-)
Thank you.
Love your combination of wood, concrete and LEDs. Also all your projects are fresh and modern.
I’ve sanded Perspex and acrylic to get a frosted look, also if your good with an
Angle grinder it works well for making precise cuts, just use a thin cutting disc and score the line before going all the way through, nice lamp btw
Wow amazing build !! :) great video more builds like this ;)
thanks!!
Very nice project. I really like the attention to detail to hide the cords so well.
great job! love that you include electrical and concrete along with the woodworking. Keep up the great job.
Dooood ! that is cool!
Ingenious
Outstanding modern design. I especially like the fact that you got the wood for FREE!
Thank you. Me too :D
I like your videos but I especially like your narrations. You tell us exactly what you did and point out how you could have done it better. Much respect.
Great work and project! One comment about your soldering though. At 18:35 you were "carrying" the solder to the wires, i.e. melting solder on the iron and then applying it to the wires. That's a bad technique creating cold solder joints where the solder hardens but not actually bonds to the metal of the wire. This can cause failure over time, especially when the joints are moving. try applying a bit of solder to the iron to improve contact, then apply the iron to the wires to heat them up and only then bring the solder in contact with the wire. The solder will melt around the wire and bond with it, creating a good contact joint that will last as long as the concrete base.
I always get the wire insulation melted using this technique :(
Awesome design Glen!
Hey thanks man!
This was amazing! and what I like most is that you did the whole thing with simple tools.
Very good and helpful video.
Very clear message, simple no loud music.
Love to learn how you created the video, which cameras, which tripod angles etc.
te quedo chingon amigo =)
Perfect👍🏻
Very detailed video, and fantastic outcome. Thank you for sharing. I'll make a similar lamp with minor modifications. I need more light than this, so I'm going to use 6 lines of 5050 LEDs, not the 5028s that you used.
really nice! you can also get the foggy effect on the plastic by sanding it.
Looks great but you should never switch the negative wire. Always switch the positive one. At 12V it may not matter but at bigger Voltages it could be a live saver. If someone gets into the electric circuit by touching a metal part which is under power, it gives them a shock, even if the switch is turned of because the electricity flows through the body in the ground. ALWAYS SWITCH THE POSITIVE WIRE
I wish you were my brother
Or father
or sister
or pet rabbit
Or Husband
or a pet dog, wandering around the shop !
I am a seamstress so I am measuring, cutting and assembling all the time....I can do this! You make it look sooo simple.....u know, I'll pose my questions soon. Great job!
I like how you do this with simple tools. Love your work!
can you teach on the led? why you connect all positive and one negative? i can't understand...
thanks
i like you channel
He connected the negative at the bottom. The reason he soldered one negative at the top because the led connection at the bottom o f the most right strip was blocking the connection of negatives at the bottom. Just look at 14:05 and freeze the frame there.
hey bro i love it, do you have any plans on the measurements?
Thank you Not yet I should have it by the weekend sometime.
looking forward bro... BTW can you make a video about the different tools you are using and why.
DIY Creators hey bro, did you finish the plans?
I never got the opportunity get to it sorry about that. check back with me on the weekend. Ill to get it done by then.
Cool i am really looking forward to it
I'm a craftsman. This is craftsmanship. Nice work!
Nice! thank you.
Beautiful work..great video..nice to see a video where the worker isn't using all the fancy tools
man your videos are very handful, i'll send you a photo later on Facebook when I do it. I'd like your comments. thanks a lot.God bless u
did u do it?
I literally blew on my screen to remove the cement dust when he drilled through the base.
Majdermind keep a spray bottle with water around and wear a mask.
Boomer 😂
Beautiful creation amigo! Great video shots! Framing, editing, narration - top-notch! Can’t wait to see more of your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for showing me how to add a low voltage lighting system to a wooden lamp and how to make and attach a concrete base. I am planning a similar project.
I would you a fine sandpaper to frost up the plexiglas
Love this project but i'm way too dumb to do this myself
Thank you :) I bet you could this if you tired.

Glen I just want to know if you're married 😂😂😂.
Latisha Valentine unfortunately no one is worthy.
You know what I liked the most? you showed that you do not always need sophisticated machines to make beautiful pieces.
That yellow cutting tool is awesome!
Why rnt u a billionaire!?
Most of us love to create
Not the money
Not so the money
Life is 👍 Good
the way you tell us how to fix that problem how to fix those problem is what makes u different from all others ❤❤ love your work we want more project regarding study-working table and things. like this
I really like this lamp, and I appreciate that you keep your mistakes in your videos. Mistakes happen and it's nice seeing ways to work through them.
Thank you, of course If I show my mistake I may save many from making the same one.
You are a real artist! Big respect for your channel, keep going and enjoying your work🙏🏾
I love using my hands and this right here is a start up for me. Thanks for sharing your gift
Beautiful and simple lamp. Well made, Dude!
Can definitely tell your passionate about what you're doing!!! You've inspired me to try my hand at some ideas that I have. Thank you for the Motivation😎👍🏾
Great video thanks. I installed LED strips on wood a while back and after a few months later they came unstuck so the next time I added some better glue just to be sure
