Making a NEON LED Night Light with Walnut

Thanks for stopping by! This video shows how I made a cool little night light using some LED Neon strips and walnut wood. Getting the neon to fit inside the cnc cutouts was quite the process. Hope you enjoy!

[@AGduzit]

Thank you!

[@davebauerart]

Looks great. Excellent job making the CNC parts interesting to watch. I haven't seen that type of LED before. I'll have to try them.

[@AGduzit]

Thanks Dave. It’s always a challenge trying to make robots seem interesting haha

[@joewink2088]

Yes. Gotta agree. Great video. Looking to do same kinda sign. Yours really stands out in the crowd. Seen the link for strips. Need help though. New to neon. Other than strip, I guess you need what? Charger? Looked at Amazon. So I got strip idea. Going in blind…..what else is needed. Color will do me good also. Thanks in advance.

[@RonKwok]

This is AWESOME AG! I made an LED neon sign myself for my channel and it's janky to say the least. This vid cleared up a lot of questions I had about cleaning up the soldering/wiring. Your craftsmanship is CLEAN! On top of that, your videography, editing, and post-production are all on point. I know you haven't posted in awhile, but I hope to see new videos up on your channel real soon. Liked and subscribed--came for the LED neon tutorial, stayed for the QUALITY. Cheers man and keep it up!

[@RLLWoodworks]

Wow man. This was so good! Both the project and the video editing! Will be fun to watch this channel blow up!

[@AGduzit]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@veronicavelasco8456]

wow, nice work!

[@AGduzit]

Thanks!

[@rixogtr]

Those router shots were insanely good, totally loved the camera work. However, I did mind those gaps between the led strips and the wood, also the connector housing/base was little bit rough with all that super glue

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

It's rare that I don't have a cheesy, puny, or just eye roll-ingly comment...but this was so amazing and your VO was so freakin spot on. I can't wait for you to make more and more videos...selfishly haha

[@AGduzit]

Dude I’m flattered! But disappointed that you couldn’t find a good pun lol. I look forward to those 😂

[@BevelishCreations]

[@AGduzit]

Thanks man!

[@DesignCraftWorkshop]

Really cool build man!

[@RoninsCorner]

You’re filming is on point my man! Did you use a flame to re darken that area of the laser engraving of your logo or how does that work?

[@MakerCuisine]

Amazing design, I agree that taking it vertical was the right choice really makes it stand out in the room a lot more. Thought it was really great how you adjusted your design on the fly to suit the different problems you came across 👍

[@benjamincurtis6711]

Can you share the width/depth/bit used of/for the channels in the wood? Super cool project!

[@WobyDesign]

I want one

[@MakeWithMiles]

@wobydesign I do to ;)

[@MakerCuisine]

It can be yours if the price is right

[@christywhitley6053]

Love the lamp! Would really like to know what you know & get to play with your cool “toys.”

[@chrystald.]

Turned out amazing ❤️.

[@najmilton26]

This is amazing!!! Is it possible to have a video where you show us how you created the channels in Illustrator?

[@djflakofresh]

Hey great video, I would love to know which CNC Cutter are you using, if is possible… Thank you

[@lachyveal2738]

awesome video dude, great editing and design as well

[@AGduzit]

Thanks a bunch!

[@shadowsandfire]

Tip for removing hot glue is a bit of metholated sprits, white spirits or acetone but metho or white spirits are best and it will litterally fall off than the excess spirits will evaporate, has saved me sooo many times i cant count anymore!

[@FutureLaugh]

how much did you charge the client for this work of art? and how many hours total? great work

[@jensmichiels2403]

Nice work! And i mean all round. Great video (kept me watching) great cnc work and nice clean electronics! How do you make sure the led strips fit all the way and you dont end up having open spaces at the end of a letter? Great work man keep it up!

[@CaffeinatedFrostbite]

basically the strips can be cut to (in this case) a half inch, so the length of the runs for the letters are made to be rounded to the nearest half inch or so

[@rosswells4090]

Really awesome! From the design to the video editing. Really talented. Subscribed!

[@landonfausett]

Awesome video! Where does everyone order their Neon led rope from? At least those in the United States.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film, well shot and edited. Nice narration/writing. The lamp is gorgeous, awesome fit and finish. Mahalo for sharing! ; )

[@AGduzit]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@yumyum7196]

Wow that is amazing and inspiring. What type of wood oil did you use?

[@grumpywoodchucker]

So awesome! I want on too.

You’re so sweet :) I suck at making time for these!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

@@AGduzit I will patiently wait for more 🙂

[@andrejohnson9099]

two things what cnc and laser cutter are you using?

[@aomade6439]

Seriously cool. Super polished and well-shot video, too. Subscribed. :)

[@Meaderf]

My understanding is that you have to cut on specific areas of the light strip. I’m worried that with my project I might not be able to get these cuts to the perfect length because of this limitation. Did you just luck out on the cutting locations to line up perfectly where the ends of the strips were on the letters? If not, what was the trick you did to make it fill the channel all the way?

[@ezk7249]

AMAZING 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@thomaswindfeld728]

Dope!

[@bdee1084]

How are you cutting the wood?

[@RedhaVision]

Your videos are fan to watch man, I hope to see more of them very often :)

[@soudeformiga]

Wonderful job! What font did you use? Thank you

[@CaffeinatedFrostbite]

i have some similar LEDs but mine are only cuttable to 1 inch. it is such a pain

[@AbsoluteStar502]

Great job! Can I ask what CNC did you used?

[@vklwood]

Beautiful work, thanks. I found yours by hunting for videos to learn to make led neon signs from scratch....that is, my knowledge is as yet minimal. Approximately how long did the project take?

[@naturallydope247]

What kind of oil did you use?

[@jozefyoucefredjem]

ooooooohhh coool i realy like it man

[@Bobster986]

Nice! What type of wood did you use?

[@mohammedmezoghi3582]

Awesome 🚀

[@OwenGProdMusical]

Wow

[@zlanders77]

Great job! That’s gorgeous! What machine do you use for the cutting! Well done

[@iangillan1296]

Amazing work. High quality in every piece and detail. Can you please share the links to the LED strip you used? I see it can be cut in any place

[@AGduzit]

Thanks so much. Just search Amazon for “Neon LED rope” and find one that can be cut every 1/2 inch

[@andyturner4945]

Brilliant what wood did you use???

[@AGduzit]

It’s walnut

[@sergiomartinez1523]

genial tu vídeo..podrías decirme cómo es emprograma que usas para el diseño de letras

[@zabdillita]

Wow!!!

[@versus023]

incredible video! did you make sur that you letter were in 0.5in increment to suit the cut lenght of the led strip ?

[@AGduzit]

Thanks! No, I didn’t. I made sure to leave a little extra silicone sleeve if the led strip wasn’t long enough.

[@A2ZGeek]

Been working on something similar for a while but what i can't figure out is how to you put a channel in your text in the design software? Any tips would be very helpful. thanks

[@AGduzit]

I used Adobe Illustrator. I just applied “Outline Stroke” to the text and it automatically created the channels. Had to adjust the settings a bit to get the right fit.

[@D3MONI4QU3]

What a video for a dude with less than a thousand sub !

[@AGduzit]

Thanks a lot!!

[@Tropcaliente]

I don't get why your views are so low.. the edit is incredible, all the videos sync with music, your skills are amazing.. I guess we will have to wait 8 years for this to be huge (thanks to youtube..)

[@AGduzit]

Thanks, man! Hopefully one day YT features it!

[@leftyswoodshop2965]

Great video man! You really lit it up! From Lefty 👍🏻

[@glenncol]

That is cool

[@makeitbling]

Holy shit that's nice

[@SUN_ART]

Very Nice .....

[@dividsky]

Awesome work ! Where did you get this led strip ?

[@AGduzit]

Thanks! I’ve updated the description to include the Amazon link to the led strip.

[@Biuret.]

Very good end result and video production! The only thing I would correct is the voice volume, it was too low relatively to the music in some cases, or the music was too loud. But again, very cool what you did.

[@AGduzit]

Thanks! I’ll make sure to get my voice loud and clear next time 👍🏻

[@aminam4405]

Hello, can you tell me what that liquid was that you pored on the wood? Also where did you get the lights from?

[@AGduzit]

I believe I used Danish Oil on the walnut. And the lights came from Amazon; search “Neon Led rope”

[@Civiliwoodworks]

This project is amazing! I love the look and the music in the video! May I ask, How did you design the letters so they fit the led perfectly?

[@AGduzit]

The led strip had cut lines every 1 cm I think, so I was able to cut ONLY the strip just a little shy of the edge, but leave the silicone sleeve the full length of the letter channel. Hope that makes sense!

[@woodbenice5917]

Can you make a video on how to solder??

[@patrickdugan4395]

Loved the video. Such a great idea. The music is far louder than you talking though.

[@irishedawg]

I was just curious, I couldn't fully see the name or manufacturer on the orange pucks you had on the work table. Can you, or anyone else, tell me which brand they are? They are EXACTLY what I've been looking for!! Thanks!

[@AGduzit]

They’re an old brand called Bench Dog Bench Cookies. I don’t think they are sold anymore; instead, Rockler sells them as Bench Cookies

[@characterlures2377]

Man this is awesome. Id like to create 1 for the grandkids. Would u mind sharing where u got the flex neon from... subbed

[@AGduzit]

Thank you! I got the neon rope from Amazon. There are a ton of suppliers out there; just be sure to choose one that has trim marks at every 1/2 inch (or 1cm)

[@characterlures2377]
