Thanks for showing your mistakes and your fixes. It shows you're human, and helps us learn how to solve problems..

[@rasvial]

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

[@joannawalk1633]

ęo9

[@abstractcreations246]

rasvial I agree on that

[@petebachman5694]

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!

[@rafiweiss3915]

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!

you the best

[@aalyanbhanji6496]

DIY Creators Do you have an estimate for how much the project cost?

[@alicemarshall2633]

awesome design. also love the lumiy lightblade desk lamp

[@sameerraza3740]

alice marshall

[@LoganLovell]

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!!!

[@Merrlin]

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

[@thefluxlife]

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!

[@jordantyger3577]

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!

[@Nerdforge]

This came out awesome. Good job man!

[@donniestr]

Your pretty dope Glen I admire your creativity, craftsmanship and willingness to teach others. Thanks Glen!!!

[@thebluetrinity]

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.

[@forestlampcraft472]

Nice adjustment of parts)))

[@nismojdm5950]

You sir is making art.Keep up the good work:)

[@lyrix7479]

Was it really plexi glas or was it acrylic?

[@DIYCreators]

Plexi glass either one could work.

[@lyrix7479]

DIY Creators okay thx!

[@dboer6545]

u can cut plexiglass with stanley nife

[@dboer6545]

and then break it off

[@uzmariaz8802]

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.👏👏👏

[@rippermcguinn]

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.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you! :)

[@jasielcalixto]

Amazing, man. Good job.

[@WACKENOPENAlR]

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!

[@yvonnefowler1168]

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.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very nice design and execution! Well done!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@tuyoyoesmio4730]

DIY Creators what's the name of the yellow cutting tool that you are using

[@annagreen809]

it's a miter (/mitre) block :)

[@tuyoyoesmio4730]

[@rtmcify483]

20minutes of my time well spent looking at this video GREAT JOB TO YOU THUMBS UP👍

[@DIYCreators]

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.

[@rtmcify483]

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

[@alfredesquer]

Outstanding modern design. I especially like the fact that you got the wood for FREE!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. Me too :D

[@garrettmacgowan8907]

This guy is a genius

[@shardescott6406]

I really enjoyed watching your gift in action. I've never seen an carpenter who is also an electrician, so inspiring. 👏🏾

[@DivisionStreetDrums]

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.

[@urie4769]

thats a very nice lamp bro!

[@JackmanWorks]

Awesome design Glen!

[@DIYCreators]

Hey thanks man!

[@seanypatpatterson]

Glen, this thing turned our fantastic! That wood is beautiful! I'm glad you didn't stain it!

[@Aamnah]

I like that you didn't use all your big machines for this video, this is something i can try at home!

[@hannahrumick3001]

Wow this is so amazing u are very talented!

[@TshaRaph]

you are the Sir Sir, wonderful

[@davidmitchell2130]

Love your combination of wood, concrete and LEDs. Also all your projects are fresh and modern.

[@ManShellz234]

great job! love that you include electrical and concrete along with the woodworking. Keep up the great job.

[@jogrev]

Thank you!! You are a master!!!

[@pmodd]

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.

[@AmeerMagdy]

This was amazing! and what I like most is that you did the whole thing with simple tools.

[@ellal.8116]

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.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you :) that's my goal.

[@foobar8478]

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.

[@naufalnirwansyah1697]

Great Lamp! Love it. Great.

[@Wanderneuring]

You are a refreshing voice in the DIY/woodcraft space. Thank you! I’m a subscriber and look forward to more projects.

[@mv4770]

Amazing! I designed something like this for someone a while ago, and only now found this. Thank you

[@lmfaoliam77777]

That looks really nice. Well done!

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@pinokotsbeer6453]

Great video again! i like it that you show flaws and ways to improve on it or to cover them.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I know showing mistakes are not a sexy thing but I do it to help viewers.

[@phillipgrier4150]

Love your projects man, they are both creative and practical. Just the right amount of instruction and inspiration.

[@sandieyule1644]

I can't wait to show this project to my husband! He will love your work!!

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

You the man my brother awesome project man I like it good job dude :)

[@DIYCreators]

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

[@blognewb]

[@aditsakti420]

I think this lamp is better than the stuff from crate and barel...😂😂

[@mchamburg]

Love it Glenn!! I like your hands-on creative way in making this very fine lamp!

[@jbh613b]

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.

[@renatoalejandromeza39]

Beautiful lamp, make another please.

[@madbearzlorad4478]

This is nice lamp on worktable. Its better use aluminium under LED for cooling and fire prevence. 😉

[@clarenceu]

I like how you do this with simple tools. Love your work!

[@HarryIanBonner]

Beautiful and simple lamp. Well made, Dude!

[@Dingbat217]

Nice idea, I might have to build one of those for my computer desk! :-)

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you.

[@rerosaan1749]

THAT SO GOOD ..

[@pordentrodascoisas9013]

You know what I liked the most? you showed that you do not always need sophisticated machines to make beautiful pieces.

[@AmagansettPress]

Great design ! Beautiful lamp... Keep up the fine work !!

[@GibClark]

Dooood ! that is cool!

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Wow amazing build !! :) great video more builds like this ;)

[@dhwdhhskcbfusbsmsss]

Newbie here, I love how you show us how to fix stuff when we inevitably make mistakes =]

[@mbaluyot4]

Been saving DIY projects for my dream house and this channel never disappoints! Will make them in the future and nice work man! Love it!

[@KitoMonster]

[@alihabib117581]

Perfect👍🏻

[@MoeNeato]

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.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you, of course If I show my mistake I may save many from making the same one.

[@panservolvo]

I really like the you don't redo and edit out the things you do wrong. Makes it feel much more natural. People make mistakes

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. I don't mind showing the mistakes.

[@79MrZeus]

thanks!!

[@luis1570]

te quedo chingon amigo =)

[@chrispiggott8386]

Beautiful work..great video..nice to see a video where the worker isn't using all the fancy tools

[@louiseking4519]

Really like you process, descriptions/ voice over, and the design.

[@gregorhi2]

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.

[@andrewsmall6568]

I always get the wire insulation melted using this technique :(

[@kumudpaudel2362]

I wish you were my brother

[@wilborth5th]

Outstanding!!! You sir are one of my favorite extraterrestrials

[@nuno_das_fotos]

That yellow cutting tool is awesome!

[@felicemoscato4368]

can you teach on the led? why you connect all positive and one negative? i can't understand... thanks i like you channel

[@SeenD]

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.

[@claudior8298]

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

[@gheumann]

I'm a craftsman. This is craftsmanship. Nice work!

[@DIYCreators]

Nice! thank you.

[@pixlplague]

You got some serious skills friend! This is amazing stuff, and I really like how you link all the tools and supplies, that's awesome. Subscribed!
