Making a Twisted Plywood Lamp

How to make a Twisted Plywood Lamp with some leftover material. I was looking for a matching lamp for my living room for a long time. I used less then 70 cm2 of 18mm plywood cut for the thin strips the bottom and top circle and also for the wire cover that goes on the ceiling. I soaked the strips in water and twisted them a half turn. After letting it dry for 12hours they kept the shape. some of them split and cracked. The success depends on the quality of the plywood. For Finish i used Boiled Lind seed oil. Thanks For watching!

That is an awesome lamp. I love that you use the ply people usually cover to create something so interesting.

[@Ollaris]

+Making It Up Thank you very much!!!! :)

[@s0resucks]

I always like ideas that allow you to recycle even the smallest spare parts of wood left over from other projects. This one is great !

[@Ollaris]

+Stefan thank you! I try to use everything. Not just for cost reasons ( this little piece was $30 over here) but also keep our recourses in mind.

[@s0resucks]

I like that mindset. I'm working in an average sized carpentry and everytime a piece of that size, like the one in your video, is thrown away my heart kinda bleeds. Keep on the great work !

[@Ollaris]

+Stefan I hope you pick them if you can!

[@MakingAndFixing]

Oh my God, that is so beautiful. I love the lines from the plywood - makes it so beautiful. Great job.

[@Ollaris]

+Making And Fixing Thank you! I'm very pleased how it turned out and glad you like it too!

[@cmappouras]

The hole project is a highlight!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much!

[@danhartman9087]

Never saw a router fence modified to be a circle cutter. How cool. How ingenious!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Dan!

[@gordroberts53]

Absolutely brilliant concept. I used to look at a piece of plywood and see, well flat stuff you can make with plywood. For me, very mind opening video. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ollaris]

+Gord Roberts Thank you! Good to hear!

[@thomasarussellsr]

Beautiful lamp and very nice lighting effect on the ceiling and walls as well.

[@Ollaris]

+Thomas Russell Thank you very much Thomas!

[@rivergate]

Great looking shade. Really like the twisted plywood strips; very neat.

[@Ollaris]

+Andrew Cartlidge Thank you Andrew!

[@charickter]

The layering in the plywood really comes out with the linseed oil! Really nice contemporary feel while staying natural! Great work!

[@Ollaris]

+Charickter Yes, Thank you very much!

[@KepaTairua]

Wow, beautiful work. I was questioning the screws for attaching the plywood strips, but that last shot sold me.

[@Ollaris]

+Apek Zombie Thank you! It ads a bit of contrast.

[@susanringrose851]

Love your work you make it look easy I’m sure it’s not, I will give it a try and see how I get on.thank you for posting.

[@remydejong206]

Ziet er heel gaaf uit.. Waarschijnlijk dat ik hem na ga maken voor boven mijn eigen gemaakte kloostertafel.. Mijn like heb je te pakken :)

[@hudsonriverlee]

Very awesome video, enjoyed watching how you Twisted the wood. Very informative and adaptable to so much Scrap Wood in our shops. Just a great way to sit down with the morning cup of coffee. Way to go pilgrim.

[@Ollaris]

+Lee Fuller Thank you so much for this nice comment! Hope you have a great day!

[@sgsax]

Looks fantastic, love the design! I'm pleasantly surprised more of the vanes didn't break from the twisting operation.

[@Ollaris]

+Seth Galitzer Thanks! Maybe 10% of them broke. But the quality of the plywood was not the greatest. I think with Baltic Birch I haven't got any problems.

[@PeteTGIF]

We love how the lamp turned out. Great job. Greetings from Good Old Germany Peter and Manuela

[@Ollaris]

+PeteTGIF Thank you Guys!

[@raysaw]

[@Ollaris]

+Jason Gardner Thank you very much! Happy to hear that! #makergoal

[@allthings2allmen]

+Ollaris Just a thought this type of lamp shade might actually serve as a cool fan as well...with some experimentation...even if it's only to aid circulation...maybe a series of one inside another...it would be fun to see if that would actually work...it would definitely produce an interesting light show...especially if you were to hang a mirror ball in the middle. Again I totally dig this creation!!!

[@Ollaris]

+Jason Gardner Good idea. Thank you!

[@allthings2allmen]

+Ollaris! You Betcha! I wouldn't be surprised if a few other cool ideas spin off as well!
