Sorry, I didn't show this lamp with the lights off 😑. I'm not sure how I forgot to include it even though I filmed it. I will share it on social media on my social channels. Here is a link to see the lamp in the dark bit.ly/3jYuSQM

[@Prabhlematic]

Really cool lamp project, I might make one for myself. You should try top use mold release (or cooking spray if your feeling lazy) before the epoxy, the mold comes off much easier.

[@arawtgabi]

Thanks great job. Looks like a fun build. Looking forward to do one myself.

[@majen66]

Thanks for sharing the "in the dark" view lol. I was JUST wondering what it looked like

[@81CoroneR81]

Bro, this lamp is sick. Nicely done man 👍

[@michaelpfaff8280]

That is the best use of resin I have seen yet. The ubiquitous "river tables" leave me a little cold. Too contrived and artificially trendy, but this lamp knocks it out of the park 👍

[@Ed19601]

Agree

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

[@AnEvolvingApe]

I like it! Recommendation: the guy at Blacktail always seals the wood with a coat of epoxy first before the big pour to reduce bubbles that escape the wood.

[@t-roy1605]

Bro, your content is AMAZING. PLEASE come back and create more videos!!!!

[@robbiemer8178]

Elegant design and I like the proportions. Well done, as usual! I could see having a few of these with different colors set out in a backyard/around a deck as accent lights. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@blackmasculine1]

Excellent, I think I want to craft a coffee table this way. I would like to see the legs and top of the coffee table finished using your technique in this video. Thanks for the know-how excellent work!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, I think that's a great idea! I will give it some thoughts.

[@Craftlngo]

Glen, you have an excellent impression of what the proportions of a build should have to look really good in the end! This is one beautiful Lamp

[@cooperbooper6341]

I'm literally only 13 but I still love watching your videos because I love seeing the possibilities that I could do In the future.

[@alvinclose8181]

Very beautiful lamp

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks

[@alexitselentis7904]

You super talented, keep it up and thanks for sharing, best regards brother from Greece 🇬🇷

[@imari2305]

Another amazing creation Glen I love how this lamp turned out.

[@gwengood2353]

WELL DONE GLEN! You are so inspiring! 🎉Keep it up! I don’t know if I could make this lamp but it’s so fun to watch you in action!

[@gooberpeas7926]

Thank you for showing your entire creative process. Some of us might be frustrated with making decisions or when things don't work out right away. You model the process quite well.

[@matthewhinrichs8335]

mold release will help when you take the mold apart after using epoxy.

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

I love your work. I’ve been watching you for years. Keep doing what you love. You’re so talented!

[@DIYCreators]

I appreciate it! Thanks

[@ryfisch8763]

Your creativity knows no bounds. Thanks for the ideas and continued content.

What a fun idea. You always have interesting projects.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you!

[@stuartkorte1642]

I’m thinking this ranks in top 3 of your projects. Simple but awesome.

[@debbydhill]

This lamp is beautiful, great job Glen. Always unique builds.

[@ogenmiller]

Красивая работа!👍 Прекрасный дизайн. Спасибо за видео!

[@SUMERIA]

Wow!! Just found your page while searching dyi for building a room partition (saved that vid in my files for future use in my new place!) then hung around to see how this gorgeous lamp was created. I held my breathe when you poured the epoxy (that blue!!) and when the pour was successful I applauded lol!! Beautiful design, texture and finish! Your channel will be the first stop for all my dyi needs. A true /blue fan!

[@nicholasaxelberg8167]

This is great, man... Thank you for the demonstration

[@rubenbarria1557]

Muy bueno👋👋!! Saludos desde ARGENTINA. ( comodoro rivadavia) chubut👍!!

[@michaelely587]

I've been making resin accent lights for a couple of months. This video was very helpful. Thanks for the links!!

[@juliecanterberry4061]

Would have loved to have seen the lamp lit in a dark room. Good job!

[@dennisbrown2571]

Love it especially, how you broke the pieces.

[@mk1479]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Don't worry about mistakes, that's how we learn.. When I first started with resin, I was making a small lake, about 6x3 in with Styrofoam. I didn't seal the styrofoam and yeah, it melted and an ungodly mess ensued...Hahaha... Not too funny at that moment though... Thanks again!

[@tommc49]

Well done. I picked up several useful techniques. I like how you broke up the wood to get an irregular look.

[@johnshillinglaw8433]

I love your channel.... My day job is driving a cab, predominantly in the black community. While I love most of my passengers, many don't do anything productive or creative and some even are focused on negative habits. I occasionally met someone creative like you and talking with that person makes me happy

[@DIYCreators]

Thats awesome! I like to encourage people to look out their environment. There is more to life than what we often grow up to see.

[@ytgpajer5396]

Damn, Glen! Now I have yet another project from you that I MUST do!! I like it!!

[@spydermag5644]

Nice lamp. I really like your videos. One thing I would of done different was to use mold release so the epoxy would not stick to the white boards you were using.

[@tarsis80]

I always enjoy watching the videos..

[@rust8663]

Build a pergola post with this light design. That would make a great garden art peace

[@c.a.g.1977]

Very cool idea! I have a 'starter kit' of resin waiting in my little woodshop, and this just might be the project to use it for!

[@Robertsshed]

You should be marketing this to fancy restaurants.

[@blufaerie]

Great job! I love how the finished product looks!!!

[@guyh.4553]

Very well done as usual! You make your builds the way the average DIYer does. Glad you like the opaque but myself I will do a clear coat. Love your videos!

[@SaltGoldman]

I could've done these type lamps with all of my wood which was eaten by termites 😑. Thanks for teaching me this tho 😁🙌

[@BootlegHuman]

As you are dealing with mains electric I would advise using either heatshrink or liquid rubber wire cover to prevent the wires from making contact in future incase of the solder coming loose over time. Its always good practice to get into the habit of covering exposed wire connections

[@jamesmade]

Never thought about intentionally using broken materials before! Good inspiration.

[@Legacy_125]

Excellently Done!

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks!

[@themicdfiles1865]

That's a cool piece. I have a bunch of petrified wood that I've soaked in vinegar to eliminate bubbles. I ordered a bunch of switches, power inputs, and LED bulbs. I was thinking about the tiny LED strands. Maybe another time. I always use Danish Oil and I like to take my auto buffer and use Meguiar's headlight polish on the epoxy. I also like using different glow powders. Good stuff, bro!

[@jont39]

Thanks I really appreciate the very clear step by step description

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT project Glenn. I have been thinking about trying an epoxy project and this just might be the one. Thanks for listing the components, many times that's a bigger obstacle than making the project itself! !! !!!

[@DIYCreators]

Hey Bud, Long time! I think you should give it a try do something small to build some confidence. I am glad I can help with the list!

[@calebhill97]

Hey man great video! I'd love to see a build for a accent/liquor cabinet !

[@robertcox7507]

Clap! Clap! Clap! I like it, I can think of someone on KZbin here that would have started with a $200 block of wood with rot then spent hours cleaning out the rot to make sure the epoxy stuck. So you saved time, money and I can't see a difference in looks.

[@goodgoat3096]

Very cool project. I have seen crafters use polish as the final step in making the epoxy clear. Nice,. clean, design and good use of materials.

[@57Sauce]

You come up with the coolest projects and great "make" videos! Thank you!

Uhh...wait. I thought it was "bloody brilliant"? Don't go changing stuff around on us, somebody has to keep Californians from driving the English language right off a cliff. Oh, and stop saying "aluminum" wrong.

man this *wood* be cool to do for like a 6x8 or 8x8 post for like a fireplace mantle or even some thing to just put in the corner of a room and add some leds to change the color

Wonder if it's bright enough to use as a night light ❗❗👍🏻👍🏻

Creating something like this in a minecraft torch style and perhaps battery powered would be a big hit!

Hopefully you had a blessed Easter this year. Glenn awesome project. This turned out very well there. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God bless.

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

Very cool, but have you noticed much heat with the light on for long periods?? I use an LED lamp for my desk and it makes some serious heat.

That is a clever design. I hope I can have a shot at it this year.

So Cool ! WOW. Complimenti

i ll sure try to build one. hoping to get the same result as you. thanks for sharing.

seems to give off an amazing diffused light that looks like a solar system or something

[@paultaylor319]

Great job man, but , i would be a bit worried about how long the bulb will last as it has nowhere for heat to dissipate and they get pretty hot

[@MzDenise972]

your instructions are so good.
