DIY Desk Lamp with Color Changing LED Light

I partnered with Home Depot to make a DIY LED Desk Lamp with a color changing LED light bulb. This DIY desk lamp has woodworking techniques to make walnut mitered frames that are spaced apart by brass sleeves. The top has a knot filled with gold epoxy resin for a little flair and translucence for the LED light to shine through. The mood lamp is a fun woodworking project and can be altered for an easy DIY project using store bought lumber. #woodworking #lamp #led

Hi😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@KomarProject]

Very creative idea and great way to use up little scrap in the shop. Great video!!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@garethsharp4039]

I love the use of the brass compression fittings. Very smart!

[@derekwalkerrr]

Great build mate! Just love how you look at some left over lumber, get creative with it and BOOM, an awesome looking piece for your home.

[@tshimangadzomutele8708]

Hello, thanx for beautiful ideas.

[@jasenking4092]

I am a 3D print maker. I will be using your designs but instead of wood I will be 3d printing your parts. Then assembling the light fixtures the same way Thank you for your design ideas and such great detailed instructions. I use to have a great wood shop but life has changed and now I am in an apartment so I have to change my building style.

[@GamerPalmSweats]

Insane build

[@mrjimi1]

This is amazing, and I think I've just found a gift idea for my mom's birthday. I wonder how it would look with a bit of frosted glass/acrylic to take a bit of the glare way from the bulb. If I do this I may just have to see for myself.

[@waynekelley2601]

Hello my name is Waynekelley i like your video

[@benfelland]

Oh wow, I really like that. Reminds me of the stones from the fifth element.

[@vincentferrari]

Gotta say, this is my favorite project you've done in a bit. I love stuff like this!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, Vincent! It was a fun change of pace

[@vincentferrari]

I love stuff like this. Small giftable pieces that are unique and interesting. I know some people like furniture and big builds, but I just enjoy smaller more artistic stuff.

[@bellaofficials193]

Very nice and beautiful

[@backyard.craftsman]

awesome design

[@letscreate.3696]

Its very unique Sir!!!

[@Eseramses]

This design is amazing!

[@tinatitan8737]

The walnut and brass pare beautifully. Nice lamp.

[@danielcarvalho8865]

Definitely a fantastic job. Great art piece.

[@tn9274]

like this..simple and good looking.

[@kellyb7321]

The lamp looks amazing. I've also got some walnut left overs in my shop and this looks like a great use for them. Thank you!

[@MuninWoodturning]

Very creative . Nice work

[@BevelishCreations]

I love this build! I’ve been obsessed with smaller home decor type builds lately. This definitely inspired me to try making some lamps!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, Alex!

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

I really like the aesthetics of this lamp and a really great how to video to go along with it! Great work as always, Brad!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Ethan!

[@sarrahjones2173]

I love how your narration is straight to the point , doesn't drag and sometime humorous. Keep doin what your doin....oh and your Channel name is funny and clever as heck lol

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you!

[@maaji10]

you have a great talent and phenomenal presentation 🙏🏾 I really like the way you’re explaining everything 👍🏾

[@craige4049]

Your projects are still top notch 👌🏻 awesome design.

[@billm4560]

Cool build! 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing!

[@SillyHerpFamily]

Awesome lamp! This will definitely be added to my DIY Build playlist. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@azuldiablo18]

I’m a complete beginner to everything wood related and even the basic electrical. I’ve had this video saved for over two years and finally just started the project. My squares aren’t perfect, but I helped tighten them up with a Brad nailer. I’m waiting for the squares to dry from the stain I put on it, have to cut my holes and assemble, but I’m super excited to see how it turns out. Going to finish it all up tomorrow. Your videos are excellent for people like me who suck at this. Just really frustrating how easy you make it look lol. Keep up the great work

[@hansdegroot8549]

Beautiful lamp and very good video. Everything excellently explained. Thanks for sharing.

[@rocco6x9]

Hey great work

[@marshannajohnson8584]

I love this lamp, it is so freaking cute!❤❤❤

[@randommusings48]

Great build! That was a nice bit of thinking outside the box!

[@tufankilinc636]

Very cool!

[@jonasdavenport299]

I'd love to see you do some more modern/small builds for a house or office. Also love your epoxy vids.

[@kalebbrown5916]

compression fittings, tube ferrules. i'm an instrumentation tech in petrochemicals. i use those almost daily.

[@clydedecker765]

Cool, crisp, and clear Brad .. as always ..a.great piece.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you, Clyde!

[@WinchesterxNL]

Definitely making this!

[@gowengetter4599]

Amazing stuff!! Wish I could do some of these things. Well done.

[@orioman7]

im gonna make it for sure

[@pareshpanchal91]

Looks great

[@mdz.acosta]

Amazing little lamp! One step I would have added just for the aesthetics is an opaque liner on the inside to hide the light bulb when it's turned on. I love that epoxy filled knot hole at the top. Great way to make use of scrap wood lying around as well.

[@FBPrepping]

Brad, really nice work, and very simple. You have a LOT of machinery that most of us don´t have (well, I have my own CNC router but I´m not exactly part of large crowds) and your design is quite elegant, I must acknowledge. Lovely, indeed. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing it dude!.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Clever use of the brass and dowels.

[@paramjotsalh6590]

Good job

[@008359tim]

Merry Christmas Brad. I just wanted to thank you for this great video. Just made 5 of these for my wife and four kids for Christmas gifts. Used walnut, cherry and some exotics customized for each family member. They loved them- I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Keep up the great work!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That's awesome. Hope they loved them!

[@MsMeditatingPanda]

Kind of relaxing

[@nicolas9786]

excelente proyecto sencillo y muy practico y elegante muchas felicitaciones me encanta mucho tu canal saludos desde ciénaga magdalena (Colombia)

[@bfflorida2311]

Very nice build, I definitely will do something similar to your concept 👏👏

[@karen2864]

Simple but effective. Well done.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thank you!

[@zachraney9304]

I really want to start doing wood work

[@daverowe5351]

Fabelous Brad - great use of extra material

[@stevenkofoed1698]

I really like this one and it is really easy.

[@Birdman51]

I love the videos

[@theentrepreneurscorner6689]

this is amazing. Good job

[@timmills2259]

Super cool build Brad! I need to make something like this for my daughter. I have so much exotic woods kicking around!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Would look sweet with some exotics!

[@xivix6710]

satisfying to watch ! Great video man 👍

[@r.m.2301]

Awesome light.

[@vladimirpolak5203]

Really love your projects

[@jeffforbes3772]

Pretty cool build, Brad...just in time for Christmas

[@ireviewapple4you]

Making my own version now!

[@donistavolt2382]

Hallo, i like it, simple and elegant, keep doing it.

[@freshoffthesaw8090]

Solid build with some scrap wood! Looks great!

[@lanarm4942]

This is awesome! 💜 I don't have all the tools you used, but I'll definitely give this a try. I have wanted to make my own lamp for a while, but didn't have the courage. This seems like less of a headache than I imagined.

[@GirlsHaveCooties]

Another awesome build!!! Got to make one of those for myself. Will definitely go with the walnut as well.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Can't go wrong with walnut!

[@michaelpotase]

This is a nice simple classy build.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@marshannajohnson8584]

I wish I was this creative

[@dirkryan5962]

i love how you used tape to glue and place the 4 mitered pieces of wood! i'm going to see if i can scale it up (maybe using duck tape or wider masking tape) to glue up 4 rough-sawn pine boards i'm using to make a faux beam!

[@JTWoodworks]

This looks awesome Brad!! I'm really digging the look

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, Johnny!

[@nogravitas1013]

cute little project. i don't like colored LED lamps that much, but with variants of white light it looks great!

[@spacezombe]

lamp is awesome, great video

[@christmannaj]

Awesome project. I will be adding this to my project board. Thanks.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

enjoy it

[@gabeaqui111]

Great job! Love the idea!! Sounds like a Christmas present to me! I’m ready to try it!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Go for it!

[@jamesreid9026]

great idea.

[@TifSC]

I think I could modify this to make a lamp, I really like this idea.

[@keto4life197]

Nice to see what you can make with these toys tools.

[@octaviantega5600]

Hello brother am from Tanzania I really love the way you detail everything you do.

Nice

[@ConwayT91]

This turned out so good!! wow!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

I really love the design of it, reminds me of a Japanese style lantern

[@dailybread7638]

Bro. It's simply superb & brilliantly made. All the very best for future projects.

[@umairahmedkhan2864]

Great work

[@martys356]

I'm think you could omit the switch, the light bulb I bought, I can use my phone to switch on and off. thinking next time I'll make it with Bluetooth speaker bulb. Great project. Need to get the Wiz bulb for the fireplace setting, I was cheap.

[@withthegrainwoodwork1934]

I love this build! I may try something similar. Thanks for the excellent content!
