Make a Modern Wood Accent Lamp

- I made a cool modern lamp! I’ve always wanted to make a wood lamp and finally got the time to create one. This DIY lamp is made from some amazing figured walnut from a slab that I chainsaw milled. I went with a pentagon shape and no visible base. I wanted to build my lamp so it looks clean and modern.
My lamp project started with milling a bunch of wood. I cut the edges at 36 degrees using the table saw. Before I glued it together, I cut a diagonal in the front board. For the base, I cut a thick piece of walnut so it fits into the underside of the lamp.
I wired the lamp using electrical parts I picked up at the home center. I made it so the lamp uses a regular light bulb. There’s a switch in the back side that looks clean and doesn’t detract from the lamp’s modern appearance.
This was a pretty easy project. The most difficult part was thinking about how I wanted it to look. Hopefully you’ll give a DIY lamp project a try. It’s totally worth it!
NOTE - AFTER EDITING THE VIDEO I REALIZED I PUT THE SWITCH ON THE WHITE WIRE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BLACK WIRE. I CHANGED THIS AFTER THE VIDEO WAS FILMED.

Hopefully you enjoy this video. Just a note, after editing the video I realized I attached the white wire to the switch. I was supposed to use the black wire. It was a quick change, but I forgot to film it. Always check your local codes when doing electrical work.
I'm a union electrician and I was actually going to suggest that you might rethink switching the white wire. LOL! Glad you caught that!
Thanks to you, the entire planet was in jeopardy for a few minutes. Thx for the save. 👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you for putting cm. Greetings from Europe
I do my best to remember!
Oooh so beautiful and professional 🪵❤️
This is not only a cool lamp, but an important reminder of basic math. Math that I’ve forgotten over the decades.
Muy buena idea para unas muy buenas lámparas.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really nice, Billy. My only advice is that the black wire is normally switched and the white wire is connected straight through. It's a safety thing in case the plug is polarized. Take care.
Bill
That's true and an easy fix. Thanks!
Beautiful!!!
Oh wow that was gorgeous! The light on just made that walnut glow. Thanks for sharing.
I love that the walnut looks like fire inside the lamp!
We want some video over load! Best content
My goal is to put out as much quality content as possible.
The lamp turned out fabulous!!! Love that figured walnut and the unique design. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Lori!
Great April fools! :D I seriously thought that you would build something for real :)
100% not real. I used magic and illusion to create interior illumination.
@@NewtonMakes :^)
Awesome results the lighting makes the inside look like gold. Turned out simple and great. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Really cool looking lamp. That walnut looked amazing with finish on it. Beautiful
Thank you very much!
it looks great;-)i enjoy your videos;-)
Hey Billy, this is a nice project. The lamp looks amazing. It's at the edge of my woodworking skills, but I'm going to attempt it. I really like the way that it looks. It's unique appearance will add a cool look to any end table. Thanks for sharing this with us.
It looks more complicated than it really is. Once you get started you'll nail it.
Love this design... love your channel. the only part I didn't understand is the lamp hardware... could you add a link for what you used? I don't even know which socket to use.
Sweet and simple!
Looks great Billy. I need to make a pair of lamps for my music room, something like this would fit the bill.
That would be really cool. Do it!
Love it 😀
Thanks!
Looks great.
Thank you
Too cool !
Nicely done
Thank you
You never cease to amaze!
Great project! The colors of the warm bulb in that walnut!
Great job!
That figured walnut has this flame look when the bulb shines on it. Pretty awesome.
@@NewtonMakes it is so cool, almost thought you were going some post camera magic when I first saw you turn it on, had to rewind a bit and watch again to see, no, just some awesome wood grain.
Very cool project!! I enjoyed!
Awesome to hear!
Nice peice interesting build. Can u do some videos with different wood species. Everyone seems be using walnut the now. 🤔👍🏴
It's pretty popular. I'll do my best!
@@NewtonMakes many thanks would appreciate that. Can't wait for next vid 🏴👍
Very cool
Thanks!
Really cool piece. I think I'll make one too
You absolutely should!
Another awesome video. Loved seeing you do something out of your norm, great job man. You have an amazing eye for selecting the perfect pieces of wood for your projects, no clue how you can see all that figure in the grain on rough cut wood. Well done!
I've always wanted to make a lamp and I have several designs planned. Had to start somewhere. This walnut came from a tree I milled in Rochester. I could tell as I was chainsaw milling it how cool it was.
Shouldn't the switch be on the hot wire, not the neutral?
Addressed in my comment at the top and in the description.
Как же много ты говоришь
Need some advice/support on my side. Posted a couple vids. Would be nice of the community made some random guy's day better. Thank you in advance
