DIY Copper Pipe Table Lamp

[@Itsmikamakes]

I absolutely love this DIY! I’m gonna try this! Thanks for the tutorial 🙌🏻

You can also thread a small wire through each part solder the joints and pull lamp cord through and then drill your hole all the way through and route a groove for the wire. Both wires are hot with AC current.

Perfect! My son brought home a short piece of copper that keeps getting moved around bcuz I don't know what to use it for...not long enough for much...now I know! Thanks

[@TheGrantAlexander]

That is a fun project! So many different ways you could arrange the pipes! :)

[@DIYMontreal]

Absolutely!

Could it be potentially dangerous in any way? Do you have to ground anything? Nice looking lamp by the way!

[@DIYMontreal]

No there should be no danger as long as you connected the wires to the socket correctly and have them covered with the cardboard insulator.

What do you use to keep your copper pipe from tarnishing?

[@DIYMontreal]

I’ve left it bare to allow for tarnishing as I like the aged look, otherwise spray it with a coat of polyurethane.

Nice project !! :)

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

Can I keep the cardboard in the socket and spray paint the outside? I'm worried about getting it back in afterward

[@DIYMontreal]

Sure you can do it that way. Maybe just add a little painter's tape on the cardboard to avoid too much paint on it.

Goo Gone = great project!

[@myrahahmad]

Did you just cut the end off the extension cord?

[@DIYMontreal]

Yes exactly, I just cut off the end with wire cutters

[@oldarkie3880]

I would have tied a knot before connecting wires to socket.

Wondering how "legal" this is, given Quebec's laws regarding electrical work...
