How to build this lamp made out of plumbing pipes and a old gage.

[@jojomama4787]

Damn it man,that string trick for running the wire was nothing short of awesome,thanks!

[@rickcperry]

Order process... Drilling the 4 holes first and installing some allthread may have helped with the rotation. This project was a great example of... Go out and build something cool! Thumbs up

[@brandtAU]

really nice work.. , the instant rust makes it look amazing.

[@mtmchenry]

I like the lap great job. Like the look of the metal shade.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Hi Dale, That light lives up to the name of your channel. Thanks for sharing. Steve

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Interesting video, nice change from the usual machine shop stuff.

[@jix177]

Nice job. Good range of skills shown there. Thanks.

[@semobill9639]

How fun, Dale. Always enjoy seeing your "mistakes". Keeps me centered when I do something dumb. Thanks, guy. Glad to see you up and running again. Bill

[@Landrew0]

Don't apologize to the trolls who complain about putting your hands in "acid." Lemonade is an acid, cola is an acid, and this is basically vinegar. Hysteria over the name of something, does not make it a hazard.

[@timw2407]

been building one off lamps for a long time...one of my first was a fire extinguisher ( brass ). one trick I always do is solder the lamp cord leads. NIce lamp !

[@turbocobra]

Nice work Dale, very cool bending that flat stock the hard way...

[@BuildSomthingCool]

Thanks Gary :-)

[@craigsudman4556]

Nice lamp, Dale good fabricobbeling!

[@phantomlord71usa]

LOL looks like a definite learning experience. Mixing turning wood with metal.

[@BuildSomthingCool]

LOL :-)

[@WildmanTech]

Nicey done Dale!

[@michael7324]

Great build. Thanks for posting.

[@afpienaar4604]

Good to see you again A F Pienaar Johannesburg

[@biboveralls4025]

Nicely executed project. I have had good luck cutting rings, discs, and washers with hole saws. I stack the plates, clamp them together and then drill through holes in all four corners. Then I screw the plates to a suitable piece of plywood or 2x lumber. At the drill press or mill I secure the wood to the table and saw away. With the workpiece secured to the table you do not need a pilot hole. When cutting metal hole saws like slow spindle speed and lots of cutting oil. There will be some sharp edges on the rings when they are unstacked so be carefull.

[@juliermearaujo]

Nice job man. Congratulations.

[@RyanWeishalla]

Nice project and process on the rusting. Another idea on the gage might be an old ammeter and wired inline.

[@wyattoneable]

Always a thumbs up! I love your projects and the way you attack them.

[@user990077]

Great trick with the vacuume

[@winkworks]

Nice work Dale!

[@BuildSomthingCool]

Thanks

[@garagemonkeysan]

Cool lamp. Great video. : )

[@TheMarcball]

very nice, I REALLY appreciate all the mistakes, very useful. Otherwise, I'm disoriented by your new look, I used to dig the blue shirt and apron "machinist engineer" look. But it's your call, your life, nowamsayin'. Thanks for the inspiration... Keep on trucking (from France) !

[@edmundooliver7584]

nice job I have pre cut and threaded 1/2in black pipes I'am going to make one.

[@supyrow]

new name huh?! right on! I enjoyed this! thanks Dale!

[@dennyskerb4992]

Absolutely, Oil can be very messy for what it does. Sharpen your tools regularly.

[@rtkville]

Looking good!

[@jlibb099]

That sir, is a very cool lamp

[@keoni29]

I like the vacuum trick! I wonder if I could use this for running wire through long sections (15ft) of pvc tubing.

[@ronpeck3226]

Yes, put a small piece of foam rubber on the end of the string.

[@davidmarr5245]

I've used this trick to run wire through UG conduit in 300 foot lengths. We call it sucking a mouce though the tube, the mouse is a piece of foam as mentioned above or just a wad of paper, the string is the mouse tail :)

[@Landrew0]

It's actually quite cool.

[@justincomisk]

Awesome maker vid!

[@TheTarrMan]

That's cool but you should of wired in a little light for the gage too.

[@jimzivny1554]

Nice project.

[@paulfisher1160]

Hi, Great videos. Please do a vid on the ratio of instant rust. Another something cool from scrap is a clock. If the wife does not like, becomes a workshop clock.

[@hakimmic]

Nice project. Thanks

[@gristlevonraben]

That is beautiful and awesome.

[@craigfuller6187]

Great video

[@larryhawkins8311]

How did you connect the light fixture base to the pipe fitting?

[@user990077]

Looks like a pipe dream to me....

[@funone8716]

How long do you have to leave the light on before the gauge gets to 5000 ?

[@nowayjerk8064]

thanks for sharing something cool

[@bobfuller9759]

how did you amass all the cool stickers?

[@TheTrashologist]

Not sure how you would have done it but it would have been cool to try to get the gage to move when you turn the light on.

[@nathanek6598]

nice job!

[@waca93films]

Where did you get your cabinets at

[@zumbazumba1]

So many channels changed name recently,i was wondering who that build something cool guy was-then i saw you. Nice to see you back doing videos,hope you will start cutting some chips again soon!

[@xkblxcripple]

I was confused as hell, thought my mate had been on my rig again.

[@Guds777]

Awesome, love it.

[@tek4]

This video did not come up on my feed. Interesting..

[@edwardburgess8440]

Did you include a wire trap to prevent pull out?

[@BuildSomthingCool]

Good question Edward. No I didn't put a wire tap on it. There are so many bends the wire has to go that it doesn't need one.

[@AdventuresinFabrication]

Sounds like you make a lot of lamps, nice job, when did you do the final weld on the piping?

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

That's very cool, I like it! Whatever coffee you're drinking would kill me!

[@michaelfiller3452]

What is the concentration of acetic acid to water?

[@dougdixson]

Hi Dale, To help keep disks from spinning on the bolt, turn the bolt around so the nut is clamped in the chuck (instead of the bolt's head). Friction on the clamped parts will want to tighten the bolt, forcing the bolt to clamp tighter. You will notice that the center will stop turning at this time so be mindful to watch it. Easy to re-adjust on the fly. Use some washers to make sure the bolt doesn't destroy the wood buffer. Hope this helps.

[@Siamect]

Amazing!

[@jjjsss3869]

It would have been nice to put an old voltmeter that showed the voltage when the light went on.

[@MalcOfLincoln]

I've made a lamp with a voltmeter and a cycle meter that works kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpvNgmCVn9aFaac

[@johnstrange6799]

When the wife actually brings "junk" home for you... you're one lucky man.

[@spudpud-T67]

I love my wife's junk

[@pierresgarage2687]

I love my "Junk Wife"... lol

[@machiningbasics1729]

I love the new intro!!!! (First?)

[@robertkutz]

very cool.

[@gregfeneis609]

At 17:17, acidic acid?

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

Vinegar CH3COOH Acetic acid

[@peterbridge1928]

[@OlegChumak]

Dieselpunk is cool. like the same

[@BuildSomthingCool]

Thanks Oleg

[@ron827]

Good thing this was fabrication and not production machining because the shop boss would have kicked your butt for leaving the chuck key in the chuck at 12:30. I like Mr. Fenner's rule he passed along from his shipyard days, "If the chuck key is not in your hand, it had better be in it's holder." Good advice for avoiding the ER and prevents looking for the key on the other side of the shop.

[@TheAlfieobanz]

Nice

[@jamesfeisley2810]

Why is Adam's logo upside down and reversed?

[@pierresgarage2687]

You do reverse from what I did..... I started with metal fab before machining... lol Nice ideas for the creative side of metal working.... (Don't forget yor chuck key in the chuck... Caught you...!!! lol)

[@Lordcarlox]

Genial!

[@davidgoodrich4745]

That would get a "waddaya got to get for that " from the american pickers.

[@bluedeath996]

Doesn't look like you have an earth connection on it. I would put one one because it is 100% metal and it only takes the once to kill you.

[@tueurdepatate01]

120 volt can't kill you, maybe if you throw this lamp in your step mother bath lol

[@rigcustoms5994]

rush only brings problems and injuries

[@dejavu6938]

Put some oil on pipe before make threads

[@daveticehurst4191]

Where is the earth wire ? Metal parts and electricity do not mix well.

[@nowayjerk8064]

how many lamps at your house have a grounded plug ,come on !

[@TheOtherBill]

Noway is correct, it's all polarized plugs for lamps.

[@johnalexander2349]

Noway Jerk, erm, all the metal ones...

[@nowayjerk8064]

i should have said merican lamps i beg my pard.

[@johnalexander2349]

You mericans like to live dangerously.

[@ewaldikemann4142]

100% Steampunk!

[@dscrive]

oh yes, that acetic acid is really dangerous, can you believe that some people cook with it and consume it internally!!!! O_o

[@danfloyd695]

Acetic acid is good on your salad!!

[@creativesymon]

Still calling people who give advice or constructive criticism "trolls".
