Making an Articulated Desk Lamp - Scrapwood Challenge ep31

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/...
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/p...
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

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@AtticusDraco]

You should get an award for all that you've done with that woodpile.

[@PaskMakes]

Made out of scrapwood! ;)

[@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!

[@Asemkamal]

the white paint makes it look soo NEAT .. Amazing

[@gdb5220]

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

[@BrothersMake]

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

[@toolsarecool]

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

[@clydebalcom8252]

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

[@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!

[@timtakespics]

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

[@MichaelAlm]

So good Neil!! Well done

[@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.

[@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

[@MarkMcCluney]

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

[@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! 🤔🤗

[@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.

[@georgevanvalkenburg2560]

EXCELLENT! THANK YOU FOR SHARING FROM ACROSS THE POND...................

[@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! :)

[@IR-nq4qv]

Woodwork taking on combined levels of mathematics / geometry /mechanical /carpentry / electrical /engineering and animation. Very tasteful and tidy, this lamp would certainly be a great conversation piece in any mans work shop. A fine job that speaks of years of experience. Even some of the store bought metal lamps like this model don't have recessed wires and nuts like yours, nice touch. The stop motion Pixar lamp ending brought a smile to my face, you have accomplished even more than you set out to do. Keep up the great videos, they are very enjoyable and peaceful to watch.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@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

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@polyarthus4282]

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

[@bernardskelton2705]

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

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

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

[@torvaga]

Your videos are superb. The weight between fast forwarding, and still taking the time to show the simple steps are just right for this kind of content! And the moment you put on the wax.... priceless

[@DavidsOutdoors-of1vs]

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

[@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.

[@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! :)

[@ElRel]

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

[@michaeloronia601]

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

[@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.

[@mdmx92]

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

[@solarhawk77]

A truly entertaining watch and I agree with you, I think this might be the best one yet... and that's saying something since they've all been very good that I've seen.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Kaylee - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@beeleywood7796]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@grahamefreestone5309]

That's really nice Neil and you certainly made 'light' work of it.. ;-) 🇬🇧

[@PaskMakes]

Haha! :)

[@Chrissi.Pinder]

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

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Your most ambitious project yet. Utterly brilliant!

[@klausreiher5719]

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

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome craftsmanship Sir !!!!!!!!!!!

[@tomjkelleher]

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

[@retiree1033]

A truly gifted man.

[@RedemptiondesignsNJ]

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

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

My wife and I think this is the greatest! We're already planning to make one (or two). Thanks Neil.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks and that's great to hear! :)

[@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 👍🏻

[@АлексейГуслянников]

Enjoy every single one of your videos. Thanks a lot!

[@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.

[@Knochen0810]

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

[@negotiableaffections]

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

[@derekludlow]

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!

[@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! :)

[@Woodden]

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

[@leo150125]

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

[@DisturbedShifty]

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

[@danjrash]

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

[@robertturner5138]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Brilliant. The thumbnail didn't do it justice!

[@FullSailDale1]

I've never seen you use a jointer or a planer before (it's always been hand planes), and here are both in the first minute and a half!!! Glad to know you're human like the rest of us!!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Fantastic as always Neil!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Scott! :)

[@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

[@trudi1962]

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

[@clydebalcom8252]

When you post a Scrapwood Challenge video, I have to watch it Right Now! I love the projects and I hope you never run out of scrap wood.

[@homie6801]

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

[@russdrummond7292]

Very nice. Well done. I enjoy your editing as well. Just the right balance between video, voice over and speeding over the repetitive bits. Thank you.

[@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.

[@timberdish]

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

[@forestlampcraft472]

Cool!

[@morrelljw]

You are extremely talented my friend. Love all the challenges, but this one so far is my favorite! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@createdesign]

you are a magician!!

[@cobberpete1]

Another Frank Howarth in the making.... ALL your scrapwood challenges are interesting and beautiful. Well done Neil

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Peter! :)

[@Nesformers]

Man, your scrap looks like my good wood.

[@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!!

[@АлексейЗенин-э9о]

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

[@steliosstavrinides3502]

great great great SWC !!!!!!!! No.1 woodworking KZbinr !!!!!!!

[@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! :)

[@public138]

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

[@DadandSonDIY]

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

[@cornflake73]

You make it look so simple but I know better. What a great project, with lots of different skills to complete the project. Keep up the very interesting videos.

[@ikeknights]

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

[@mikecurtin9831]

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

[@chrisnorton2837]

Fantastic!! So cool Pask! 😀

[@joeltm8697]

Pixar: Origins (2019)

[@DanielSweden]

What you do is nothing short of amazing

[@lopaka76]

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

[@CuocSongTuoiepNo1]

I really like your little wood machines, Unique desk lamp

[@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.

[@miked28711]

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

[@sumitkhandelwal100]

Everything is easy but the way u made the bulb placer of wood,I tell u I have become a die hard fan of your creativity. Thank u so much

[@ryantrogdon3667]

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

[@EURIPODES]

I am also very happy with the way that turned out

[@popsplace]

Pask it is by far my favorite, you make it look so simple but you take your time and do have a way with the wood. Keep it my friend always can't wait for the next project 😁
