Laura´s Industrial Lamps

Last week i came across 2 of these super rusty gasbottle caps.
I thought they were perfect for an industrial reading light i wanted to make for a while now.
I am in love with the classic Kaiser Idell Scissor Lamps and so i tried to recreate that design and adapt it to the gasbottle caps. It works really well and i am super happy with how they look.
Although this looks quite complicated it is actually very simple to make...just prepare to spend some time at the drillpress :)
Let me know how you like these lamps in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!!

The brass was such a nice touch, I love her aesthetic

[@RickRose]

Having gone pretty far down the rabbit hole of hobby metal-working and purchased a lathe and mill, I always want to dope-slap myself when I see a real artist get it done with simple tools I had already owned from way back but never thought to put to such use. Nice work.

[@basuramanya]

Just watched this on the big screen tv with my little kids. You had them mesmerized.

[@laurakampf]

sweet! :)

[@bruceburkhart1650]

Hey Laura, I'm needing some additional lighting in my shop. I know this video is 4+ years old but thanks for providing the inspiration with these lamps! I currently do not weld so I have to modify to my abilities and available resources. Keep up the great work and inspiration. Your work is a gift. Prost!!

[@ZHFabrications]

Aha! I finally found where all the traffic to one of my older builds (industrial chain lamp) was coming from. Great work Laura, and thank you for the traffic!

[@mikegregory8536]

Hi Laura, loved the build this week, and my wife loved the music choice as she was dancing away! Everyone's happy...lol

[@laurakampf]

haha, that´s awesome!

[@ConstantThrowing]

The best furnitue and lighting I find on my travels is always made in this way by some person like 70+ years ago. Incredibly happy to see this reemerging!

[@TheWoodWerker]

Yup! Yup! Sweet Build Big L!!! That's just plain FUNKY FRESH right there! Much Love! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@paulinocosta2849]

Wow ... Fascinating ... what a beautiful industrial look you put in this piece ... I'm amazed by your incredible videos and projects ... congratulations, you're the best!

[@RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

I smiled through this entire build, Fantastic job!!

[@bayonasdesign]

Awesome as always Laura! It's nice to have you back!

[@eln74]

Wow.... 😱 How cool is the entire video, man oh man, now I have that musical loop everywhere I go, or when doing stuff, tnx dear Laura for sharing the magic!!! :D

[@TEKRific]

Cool lamps! What a treat with new content from you. I always get inspired and creative watching you work! Thanks so much Laura!

[@RagingMonkee]

Laura, I am in love with your camera work and how you film with your work as the main subject!

[@Pawelism]

What a fantastic build! You are one of the most creative and stylish makers on KZbin.

[@laurakampf]

wow, thanks, man!

[@jimgam730]

Love it Laura. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@diler1969]

Incredibly organized, thanks for the wonderful video!

[@azashukri5322]

Awesome build! And yet another washer useful tip. Thank you Laura.

[@PaskMakes]

Love it! I think this is my favourite project of yours. Very inspiring!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!!

[@justinsomething6086]

stuff like this blows my mind. i like this type of creativity

[@BeckyStern]

Awesome! Love the creative reuse of the gas nozzle covers, and the washer tip for rounding the ends of the steel stock. I can't get enough of that fabric covered insulated cord, use it for everything (so far two pendant lamps and two desk lamps). Can't wait to see what else you make!

[@laurakampf]

oh yeah, these cords add a lot of quality to every project! don´t use anything else anymore either :)

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Lovely steam punk look with gun blueing patina, & once it's in place it looks like it has always been there: Useful, practical & harmonious. I have used the washer trick for rounding corners, but always by hand file, never occurred to me that a belt sander would as good & much faster: Inspiration & education, thank you!

[@365hillclimb]

I LOVE the idea of using an angle grinder in place of a belt sander. Brilliant!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Beautifully designed and made Laura!

[@Ana-ks3je]

I was so excited when I saw a new video from Laura this morning! Really creative build and awesome filming/music as always. Thanks, Laura!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@billybobwombat2231]

You have a beautiful eye for style ..design and detail...a polymath in progress..well done.

[@antoinefauxpas]

Absolutely lovely project!

[@ShicZero]

Just watched this again with my 4 year old daughter, she was quite concerned about your thumb and adores your welding mask.

[@Approx_99]

Wow! I love the minimalist use of tools! Most of the makers on KZbin would have used about $5000 more equipment, but you produced a working scissor linkage with a grinder and a drill press! That takes some skill!

[@stuckinbabylon186]

Another freekin awesome idea Laura!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! I almost forgot one of my favorite parts of the vid, the music! It was rad!

[@JoshmanJoyce]

Stunning work! I love how you have thought through every detail as always. Thanks!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, josh!

[@loudoret353]

beautiful work that comes from a heart of gold.

[@fynbo1007]

[@UltimateMaking]

[@achappel]

They turned out amazing! Really great work Laura!

[@TheHandystanley]

Not only did I love the build Laura - but your UP BEAT music as well! Just do NOT UNDERSTAND how anyone would give you a thumbs down on this. Keep up the great work.

[@Uberworkshop]

Those lamps are awesome! I'm sure they'll come in handy! So happy the Lincoln Electric gear is already getting a workout. Love the Rosie the Riveter patterned welding helmet too! Nice one, Laura!

[@laurakampf]

the helmet and the welder are fantastic! thanks

[@kvsteve]

You are the DiResta of Germany with out the amazingly overdone product placement. Great design.

[@minimalistinlife]

So well built and well thought out design.

[@haywardab]

[@bdot7]

I have to say since finding this channel 2 days ago I jumped to making things after a nearly decade long drought of ideas thanks for the inspiration! your craftsmanship is fantastic!

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Very cool lamps!

[@KeithDecent]

Stunning. Great video as well!

[@Match2100]

Another great video! I love the way you put it together! Just a suggestion for when you have to do the same operation to a lot of individual parts (drilling, shaping), stack them and tack them together. While each hole will take longer to drill, it'll cut down your overall time at the drill press and all the holes will be in exactly the same spot (as long as all the parts were lined up when tacked together!) if you tacked at the ends you could start rounding the corners off and then as you get to the final shape, grind off the tacks. That way you wont have burn marks in the middle of your part.

[@lagrottedubarbu]

super nice build, love the contrast of the blackened steel and the purple cord :D Nice job :)

[@laurakampf]

thanks, olivier. i agree, they look great together

[@nomad0griffin]
