Very beautiful Linn! Congratulations and a hug from Brazil to you!

[@Gustavoinsd]

You are a bad ass girl. I really like the fact that your youtube channel is about doing productive things and not just stupid talk like the majority of KZbin Chanel's with young people. God bless.

[@garypeterson1342]

Ok, the math at the beginning was a life changer for me. Seriously. I don’t remember ever learning this kind of thing on shop class. We weren’t building six sided night lights either. 😂 but thanks! I know, sounds dumb, but this is why I love KZbin. You can learn and find out the answer to anything you need and sometimes learn something you never thought about before. Beautiful project too! Subscribing!

[@wingnutbert9685]

Nice to see you actually create and build this rather than just down load a file and cut it on a CNC. Thumbs up!!

[@engieviral]

Looks awesome! Another variation on this might be to add rotation - either to the "globe" inside or to the whole lamp to make the "stars" move across the room (much as you were doing manually in your demos).

[@holzhandwerk_ak]

Nice idea slipping the bottom in masked with paper for the glue-up - have to remember that. Thanks for sharing!

[@steverochon1620]

Nice project! I have a new grand daughter who will someday need a nightlight made by her grandpa. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@darbinorvar]

+Steven Rochon Thanks Steven, well if you build one, let me know how it turns out!

[@SGudur]

Any video which starts with your "(smile with bright eyes) This is Lyn.." is the best !

[@TAG-1984]

that looks very peacefull to look at

[@LittleMountainLion]

Very nice work. It makes me miss my times in the wood working studio at my university. You are very articulate, thorough, and talented. Nice job. I hope to see more projects.

[@frankmakes]

Nice Linn! great process and design.

[@twwoodcrafts7504]

+frank howarth maybe you will be inspired to make a segmented and turned lamp in this style?

[@darbinorvar]

+frank howarth Thanks Frank!

[@gregsandidge5649]

Not enough ladies showing their woodworking skills! Great video, project and idea! Keep up the good work!

[@darbinorvar]

+Dave Drapak Thanks Dave!

[@aqilfithri]

Many thanks for the idea. I admire your creativity!

[@mike130557]

That’s a lovely Lamp project. How about adding a free spinning fan to the top of the light tower, with different coloured strips of acetate hanging down? The heat from the LED lamps would slowly turn the fan and give a shimmering effect. Combine that with colour changing LEDs to really add that magical sparkle! I need to go and lie down!

[@MajorWTech]

That is very beautiful. I think I'll make one for my niece. Thank you

[@amitkr9932]

love to see your lots of project upcoming ,it was awwsome

[@madhavdivya]
