(My way to) The construction of a Shoji style hanging lamp

[@adrcamacho1]

Watching this is like having a massage for my brain and eyes. This is awesome.

[@Shinydrybones]

This looks fantastic. The very definition of a craftsman. Do you take commissions?

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thank you John! Let's talk about it. Can you send me a private message via facebook.com/ideebizzesche/ ?

[@MoonGoddessJ]

Wow.. ! I'm going to make one, one day. 😍 always been in love with this kind of woodcraft!

[@acemany1126]

Joe J. You gotta stop watching BTS and start with some nails and a hammer first.

[@MoonGoddessJ]

@@acemany1126 What are you talking about? 🙄

[@patrickz6827]

wow, super nice work, love it

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thanks!

[@allbewusstsein]

An amazing precise handcraftship! Very well done!

[@acemany1126]

Nice!! When can I order one?

[@Myrkskog]

Exceptional work. What did you spray on the paper before the final fit (14:14)? Was it just to add a bit of texture to the paper?

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thank you You moisten the paper with water. When the paper dries, it shrinks and becomes taut.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Beautiful! A work of art!

[@mellowfellow9]

Truely amazing... good job. I wish the 'beauty shots' were a little longer, but the pause button works well.

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thanks! For the shots you can also check the photo album in the video description

[@WilliamMeyer-id6jg]

C'est tout simplement un travail magnifique !

[@JOCECIL]

What a beautifull work!

[@ralffaber5278]

What a beautiful lamp. I want to try to make one too. Can I have all the sizes of the wood parts please? Part 2 seems especially difficult to make for me.

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Ralf Faber I don't know if I have something ready/readable. I will turn back to you in a few days

[@ralffaber5278]

Alberto Bizzini, Thank you! I hope so 👍😃

[@AlbertoBizzini]

I found a couple of SketchUp files I could share with you. They are the "lattice" measures and the schema of grooves/insets in the external structure. If you are still interested, send me your email address via a private message through facebook.com/ideebizzesche/

[@ralffaber5278]

Great! I've send you my email

[@strange-universe]

really nice finished piece!

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thanks!

[@EdBeals]

What beautiful work!

[@stampenrangers]

Stunning!!

[@jennmich3952]

How do you open this to change the bulb I have one in my kitchen but it doesn’t come off and I’m afraid to make it fall down from ceiling

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Hi Jenn. I"m afraid I can't help you. The one I built has no bottom, so you can easily reach the bulb. Sorry.

[@alexyoung-davies100]

What kind of paper did you use for this? Was it just regular paper, rice paper, etc?

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Hi Alex, I use Japanese paper: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washi I hope I answered your question

[@marcelohcs9344]

um químico que tem como passa tempo a carpintaria! risrisris eu também !

[@AlbertoBizzini]

I tried to Google translate your comment but it made no sense to me, sorry

[@marcelohcs9344]

Are you a chemist, who has a carpentry hobby? because I am. I identified with your video and coat, which I use both in the laboratory and in my garage. (Google translator).

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Ah! No I'm not a chemist 😊 I use the coat against dust, glue, oil, paint, ...

[@marcelohcs9344]

All right, I still like your video, it has won a subscriber. the jacket is very useful in all cases, kkkkkk both to protect from dangerous substances and to protect count dust and oil ... kkkkk

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

@@marcelohcs9344 wait, kkkkk. That's a brazilian laugh isn't it?

[@woodbeard9861]

What did u spray on the paper and why? Very nice piece! Thank u sir..

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Thank you Sean for replying on my behalf! (I didn't have the "notification for comments" enabled, so I just so the question today) Do you make shoji-style stuff as well?

[@seannolan7948]

I am in the process of making two shoji-style LED floor lamps. Each panel is 72" tall and 11" wide, so the process of chiseling the frames, cutting all of the half-laps, assembling, and applying finish was tedious at best. All the care and effort will feel worthwhile the first time they turn on. I opted to use a laminated paper (thin plastic film sandwich, no water misting necessary) mainly because it has greater transparency. It will also be somewhat more durable.

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Wow, 72 inches, it's huge! I'm curious, when you have finished, if you want, send me some photos (you can send me a message through this page: facebook.com/ideebizzesche/)

[@hruaitearalte]

Actually, "thank you for making" the video.

[@taejun9017]

how in the world did you learn how to do this

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Uhmm.... what could I say? I really like the japanese way of woordworking. I tried "my way", but surely they would have something to say about it!

[@madozman666]

Very, very nice..!!!

[@chmorataya]

Hi, what wood did you use? Thanks

[@AlbertoBizzini]

Hi Carlos, it's a kind of walnut: www.wood-database.com/mansonia/

Actually I don't know. You Tube provides some free tracks to choose from when you publish. Sorry.
