Making an Articulated Desk Lamp - Scrapwood Challenge ep31

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
This project took a little trial and error to get it to work just right but the persistence paid off in the end! It's definitely one of my favourite scrapwood Challenges!
You can download a pdf with the dimensions I used here paskmakes.com/plans/
The dimensions may not work exactly with your own springs and materials but it's a fun project that you should be able to figure out with some trial and error. The pdf is very basic but will give you a starting point.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@DaftDude]

You have quickly become my favourite maker here on KZbin. Just incredible ideas and the skills to make them a reality.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@shawnwoodsman]

Couldn't agree more

[@ciberbri59]

I have to agree. Some of the best maker content on you tube for sure.

[@larsfrandsen2501]

What he said!

[@andrealmeida3499]

[@bushyman477]

6:03, subtle, yet extremely well-executed, and not unnoticed. This is what I enjoy about your videos. And your intro song. I can't get it out of my head XD

[@fritzwilhelm8258]

Scrapwood Challenge song = earworm

[@TonyBullard]

That shot at 6:03 made me stop and rewatch. Excellently executed.

[@terryjackson4538]

This Old Tony is rubbing off on the KZbin world. Neil have you been Shoot'n the Poop?

[@chaplar]

same here! It was just subtle enough that my brain didn't quite process it the first time

[@SmokeFlame1]

Replicating with a pencil is much quicker than a band saw.

[@MrAirbleed]

He cut wood easy way with pencil, may be hitman was his sidejob.

[@titusdaniel]

I didn't notice that at first but after you mentioned it I had to watch it several times as well.

[@gdb5220]

I hope SWC never ends Neil! Amazing like always pal! 👏

[@MarkMcCluney]

The shade is magnificent! Great work as always mate, you encourage me to try harder. Thank you!

[@toolsarecool]

It's a work of art, Neil. Proof that there is no such thing as "scrap wood". You are a true master!

[@xJustForKiicks]

Paak!! You've out done yourself with this one. The motion looks effortless but it stays sturdy, no recoil from the movement. Beautiful craftsmanship

[@ShaneCarrigan]

so great.. love this.. one of the most creative and underrated woodworkers on KZbin.. appreciate you mate! really admire your sharp mind and creative solutions!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Shane - glad you're enjoying the channel! :)

[@beltsr6999]

Pask Makes me enjoy woodworking videos and has given me 1000’s of ideas for new projects and how to do things better. Thanks Pask!

[@garyphillips7586]

My friend, that would have to be the best looking, and working, lamp of this type of design, that I have seen. It's not only a woodworking piece, but also a work of art.

[@Neuron43]

I've been wanting to make one of those for years. Now I have some great instructions to follow. What I really need though is one with a magnifying glass as well. Thanks

[@ashilling9283]

Love the design! Form and function along with craftsmanship at it's finest. The shade was cherry--as in cherry on top. Well done.

[@RickTizzy]

Awesomeness once again. Thanks for these always entertaining yet informational productions, great results, great content, great production style!

[@PaskMakes]

No worries Richard - I'm very glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@_J.F_]

Ingenuity, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and an absolutely lovely result as always. Fantastic looking lamp!

[@janeconroy6113]

Love all of your projects. Your style is entertaining and down to earth and I think its fantastic that you acknowledge the little mistakes, as you show quick fixes. As a perfectionist it's really important to me when I find someone who encourages me not to stress about it all. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@timtakespics]

Very clever... I agree... Best 'Scrapwood Challenge' so far.

[@StanCrafted]

Great project...I like your blend of tool builds vs. project builds. It's a nice balance. I really liked this, thanks for posting it.

[@ElRel]

That's very impressive. Love how you are making things work in wood that are traditionally made in metal.

[@mickelston7512]

I love starting off the day and seeing a new video of yours in the news feed. Something to look forward to. I pick up so much from you videos whether it be the ideas or different projects or even just the little tricks and jigs you make/do to make it easier for yourself. Great project. Keep the the awesome work!

[@converdb]

in two words: in-credible! :-) absolutely beautiful craftmanship and attention to detail, I've been looking to do something similar to this design, but mixing wood with other materials. This is the final push I needed, thanks!

[@klausreiher5719]

Absolutely amazing! One of the greatest work you‘ve ever made....👍🥇

[@rogerjackway429]

Always amazing to see the figure of the wood you use. I know you have told us all before but it always brings life to your projects. Side note. I know its not much time saved but if you have a drill chuck for the power end of your lathe when cutting pins like that i have found the carbide tools to be much faster and easier on the lathe than in the press with a hacksaw. Well with the exception of cutting bolts down i have never tried that haha.

[@DaveJHarry]

You blew my mind when you even made the cone out of timber, and the white inside looks fantastic. I like the subtle but creative edits too.

[@Chrissi.Pinder]

It's hard to say for sure, but I think this one has been my favorite as well. Excellent work sir.

[@mdmx92]

definitely one of the coolest SWC's yet...great work and a pleasure to watch as always!

[@aeratj5741]

I tried to make this some time back. It was a total fail.. you make it look so easy.. it's note easy at all. Salute mate you have now demonstrated your skills beyond doubt..

[@phbrinsden]

Don’t ever change like many do. Your whole concept in SWC is amazing. By keeping some limits to materials and machinery used you emphasize what is possible with good design and a creative spirit. Your channel is unique and I hope it stays that way.

[@DavidsOutdoors-of1vs]

Bravo sir! Very inspiring build. You have become one of my favorite build channels!

[@polyarthus4282]

Dude you're the creative grandpa I don't deserve . This lamp is AMAZING ! I love the editing too !

[@MisterXS75]

can't believe you such a skilled maker. You think, you design, you prototype and you make everything alone, would be nice to know much time you spent on each phase, how many failures there was etc. Keep up the good work you're amazing

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Brilliant, simple as that...brilliant 👍🏼😊 Pixar will be very impressed.

[@tomjkelleher]

Awesome lamp! I love how you cut the wood with a pencil at 6:04

[@christofix]

Last week I went to my parents' attic to look at a lamp like this that I had when I was studying and was standing on my desk. I would like to use this as a background decoration for my workshop, it seems a cool attribute. You make this yourself, respect man!

[@Vikingwerk]

Absolutely brilliant! I love the touch of painting the inside of the lampshade cone bright white.

[@leo150125]

Man, this is so inspiring!! I wish I had the time to do ALL projects that I watch 🤩

[@danjrash]

Phenomenal work, really enjoyable top watch your videos, great editing and explanations as you go! Thanks

[@jens-digitalwoodwork9852]

A other masterpiece of the scrapwood challenge! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Knochen0810]

That turns out great! You're right, that's one of the best Srapwood Challenges. I love your videos! Greetings from Germany. Chris

[@RiaanOliver]

Holy smokes that is a beautiful build, also some very clever editing. Top job mate.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Riaan! Glad you liked it mate! :)

[@nagamendo5655]

What an amazing project! Michelangelo used to say that his statues had always been in the stone and that he only needed to take away the excess material. For me you are the "Michelangelo of scrapwood". You have all my respect! ...and of course I love the Pixar animation at the end. Just great! 😂

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@clydebalcom8252]

My wife heard your scrapwood challenge jingle, and she loved it. Thanks for putting a smile on her face.

[@derekludlow8006]

Wow. Just amazing what you can do with some creative thinking, talented woodworking skills and a pile of scrap wood! Second time I’ve watched this one. Love them all!

[@michaeloronia601]

I agree, your the only wood working\maker putting out real content!

[@artconnolly9519]

That's a beautiful Pixar light you made out of wood. I have the same shop light and I cant tell you how many times I stared at mine and thought I should try and replicate it out of wood. Well done brother :) Now you need to make the baby version

[@TylerSpurgeon]

I love these style lamps, this is my favorite scrap wood challenge yet. Thank you for the content.

[@lorenzocolombo1646]

And that is something I call amazing. I want to make one on my own now, your channel is a gold mine of ideas and this is a real nugget!

[@beeleywood7796]

Love the idea of wooden cone light-shades around the shed. (already have the lights)

[@TheIdeasGuy]

DANG IT NEIL, this was on my list of future videos to do! Oh well. Love your work mate, keep it up! Cheers from down south 👍🏻

[@BrothersMake]

What a great looking lamp! Totally unique take on the Anglepoise. Love it Neil 👍🏼

[@bertbert2725]

my favorite classic lamp design redesigned! love it!

[@Chroxo]

Wow. Is a very nice project. Thumbs up. On 16:20 it look's like the lamp got some teeth. 👍🏼

[@MrAirbleed]

Pixar never had a teeth lmao

[@RedemptiondesignsNJ]

Really beautiful, Neil! I love the nod to Pixar at the end too. :-D

[@Dolko71]

Very nice build! I think I have to agree. This is the best scrap project jet. Reminds me of my childhood. I had a lamp like that on my desk. I was steel and brown, like everything in the 70’s, but a very good lamp.

[@djcook100]

Incredible! I wasn’t sure how you were going to top the metal shear, but you did. And you really surpassed yourself this time! I’ve thought that before, and I’m sure I’ll think it again. Well done and keep ‘em comin’!

[@negotiableaffections]

Incredible - I think the term 'scrapwood' is redundant at this point!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Fantastic as always Neil!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Scott! :)

[@robertturner5138]

Your craftsmanship and ingenuity are amazing. That turned out beautiful.

[@DisturbedShifty]

Yeah. I think this just this one just bumped the water bucket as my favorite scrap wood challenge. Well done sir!

[@trudi1962]

Just when I thought I'd seen every tool in the shed...out comes the lathe!!

[@forestlampcraft472]

Cool!

[@magalimertens7601]

This is awesome. For me, the best scrapwood challenge so far. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@sgsax]

Awesome lamp! I've been looking for guidelines on making an articulated arm like this for a project of my own and will definitely be taking a look at your plans. Thanks for sharing!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Brilliant. The thumbnail didn't do it justice!

[@MsCherade9]

Lovely piece! The company who made this original type of lamps actually made, and still makes these lamps out of wood, as well as metal. You did a smashing job, great way to utilise decent wood to make a beautiful and useful object.

[@scottsimpey2965]

That’s incredible Neil. Love the hand made articulating arms for that. The whole thing is just beautiful and brilliant. I’m sure that must have taken some outside the box thinking. I have loved your whole scrap wood challenge series. Great job as always.

[@bernardskelton2705]

i am so envious of your woodworking skills, I live vicariously through your videos.

[@homie6801]

I thought at the end it was going to squash your logo! Maybe that could be a scrap wood challenge new intro idea?

[@erenkocbey]

I love it. But I have to warn you as Electrical Engineer, you can burn cone for long time usage. You should always use LED bulb which has low watt. You should check heating. I suggest, you can cover with a foil inside the cone, it can help for reflection and this good way for getting better illumination and it can isolate for heating. Perfect design I enjoyed!!! BTW you should add you logo on it ;-)

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Eren! The bulb is an LED low wattage(5.5W), it's seems absolutely fine! :)

[@jefflindeman]

The Scrapewood God! Summertime weather has arrived and I now have no excuses about getting busy in my unheated shop. Now it's down to choosing ~ the Pask Playlist is a long one! 🤔🤗

[@marcsenteney3160]

Amazing what you do sir! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing this build.

[@infillion7177]

6:02 Which brand of pencil sharpener do you use? Seems pretty efficient.

[@Mike-tb2hw]

That was so quick I nearly missed it! lol

[@thetessellater9163]

If only - a pencil that cuts so neatly, we would ALL want one of those.

[@Nesformers]

Man, your scrap looks like my good wood.

[@sophiemo7278]

Wow! How wonderful to watch you make this lamp. Thank you

[@Woodden]

I really enjoy your scrap wood challenges. It show you what you can do with just about any kind of wood.

[@createdesign]

you are a magician!!

[@DadandSonDIY]

6:01 where can i find a pencil like that 😂. Great video btw. Absolutely loved the project

[@public138]

Truly an elegant and interesting project. And the presentation is always a joy. Never stop!

[@jamesogorman3287]

This is continuing to be a great series. I’m giving this a try for another task lamp on my lathe.

[@user-xx2hw6oe8b]

Все чётко, прекрасная работа. Большой лайк 👍. Привет из России ✌️🇷🇺

[@ikeknights]

Where can I buy that "Quick Way" tool? @4:12

[@mikecurtin9831]

I'd like more information on that, too. Big laugh, thanks much.

[@triplex86]

That was one of the most enjoyable woodworking videos I have ever watched. Your channel is a joy - you have a fantastic level of skill. Thank you.

[@stephendixon8575]

Bloody marvellous Neil - don't know how you do it. I think it's probably my favourite of your Scrapwood Challenges too! Nice one

[@ashleybolding_]

do you have a video editor or are you editing these? whoever edits them is great!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Ashley - I edit them myself! :)

[@joeltm8697]

[@miked28711]

I'm so glad I found your channel. Everything you do is exceptionally well done. A true craftsman

[@SimonBarnsley]

Love the humour in these sir. Happy to have discovered your channel. Thank you for all the hard work.

[@lopaka76]

You should have an apprentice to pass on your knowledge to.

[@QlueDuPlessis]

Careful. Disney might sue. Or, even worse, claim your video...

[@brothyr]

I'm watching Mumbo Jumbo go through some stuff because of a 4-second sound sample used in a song created and licensed for him. 4-seconds! Not even lyrics of a song, it's a sound byte! KZbin is a joke.

[@RonHei]

Hello from Portland, Oregon. This was a totally awesome video! I love the challenge, the result and how you admit to and take in stride your mistakes (very few). Keep em coming. I’ll be anxiously waiting. Thanks so much!

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

What a beautiful piece. That would look good in any home.

[@pemtax557]

Outstanding as usual ... you just have this knack of seeing, scrounging what you need and turning the idea into a beautiful work for us all to envy. As always, thanks for sharing your eclectic style, wonderful woodworking talent and a MacGyver way of using what ya got to pull it all off. You've become a YT icon in this hobby! Cheers my mate!!

[@adamkittrell1511]

I made one of these last year from some scraps I had around my shop. Wish I had seen this first before fumbling through mine. Keep doing what your doing man.

[@Lagomish]

This is the most beautiful lamp I have ever seen and I love your videos! Thank you!!!!

[@dimitriszannis4775]

As always an unexpected creative idea, it seems so easy when you build it, and a very unique video every time. All of it has your signature, I agree you are underrated, you are a great lesson for most of us every time. thank you once more!

[@ryantrogdon3667]

I'm constantly checking your channel for new videos. This is one of my favorites so far! Well done!

[@timberdish]

Neil, you are awesome. Let no one tell you otherwise! Truly superb build.

[@markgoode4109]

What a great way to use scrap wood. Super project and a great result. Thanks for sharing your ideas and obvious skills. Best wishes.

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Your most ambitious project yet. Utterly brilliant!

[@ananasgames]

I'm really happy that you and your channel exist! It's always a pleasure to watch your amazing work. I'm really grateful. Greetings from Brazil.
