USB Charging Robot Lamp // Woodworking How To | I Like To Make Stuff

[@coreycreehan8197]

Bob forgot to mention that he built this lamp on his live stream on Twitch. He streams every Wednesday at 11 AM (EST) You can find it at Twitch.tv/Iliketomakestuff Its super fun! Come hang out and chat with Bob!

[@coreycreehan8197]

Absolutely nothing! I do it because I want more people to show up for the Twitch stream and because I love Bob. You should come hang out its super fun! Hope to see you there next week!

We always have a good time in there! :D

[@iamaioshi]

awesome!

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

thanks! will have to check it out!

[@DominicThompson62201]

You should make a video on your top 10 biggest mistakes/fails while making stuff!

[@andicatherine8056]

My son watched one with me and now he wants to watch it all. lol. He loves woodworking and absolutely loves your channel. He' s only 9 yrs old.

[@jacksat2252]

That is a very nice lamp to build for my grandson ,thanks Bob for the inspiration. The little bugger would love it.

[@user11000]

I like people who are creative and create prototypes objects. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HandToolRescue]

Cutting basswood on the bandsaw is addictive.

[@frankbondi6173]

Bob, Thanks for posting this video! Hard to believe there are 113 people without an imagination. This is a wonderful Idea with so many different options!

[@jamesdewald339]

Bob, you have no idea how much this helps me. Thank you!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

My grandson will love this one. Thanks, Bob.

[@TheBbraamse08]

Bob, I really enjoy your content and the way you walk us through your entire thought process and you are never worried about showing us mistakes along the way so we (hopefully) don't make the same ones. I truly appreciate your work, keep it up!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

:) Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@violadelcorona3725]

Hey Bob! I live in Italy and I'm only 12 years old but I totally love your projects. I've seen most of the videos you have made, especially the woodworking ones because I like them the most. I find a lot of inspiration from what you do even though I have only basic tools like hammer and nails. Every project you make is original and awesome and I love the way you build stuff for your own house like desks and benches. Keep up the good work!

[@BronkBuilt]

Very cool. My wife just got me a wood burning kit for our 24th anniversary. Looks like the same one you have. I can't wait to give it a try.

[@ideamissing]

Add 'robot lamp' to the list of things I didn't realize that I needed in my life. Great video, Bob. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

YES! Thanks! (I dig your helmet, btw)

[@ideamissing]

Thanks! I'm with the 501st Legion, I'm a Scout and a Stormtrooper.

[@nicholassilva3028]

Nice job. I like that backpanel with the USB ports. It eliminates the hassle of finding the blocks for USB cables.

[@cashkruz319]

I love this idea. I think I'm going to use it as inspiration for making a Tardis lamp with the same features. I may even make the front doors of it open to reveal the USB ports. Thanks Bob!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

This was really inspiring/motivating! I have an unruly side table with all the wires (Katelyn's is better) so I might try a version of this. I might also add a dimmer and phone storage while I'm at it too!

[@Wishmasters]

It's amazing, I have nothing to do with woodwork, yet I watch every one of your videos. It's kinda relaxing.

[@NelsoncraftTX]

This turned out really cool. Your creativity is off the charts

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@vaulimere]

Fun build Bob. I came across a wood-body lamp yesterday with a hidden compartment, so that's on my list of things to make now. Adding the USB hub for charging is a great idea.

[@littleTownGiant1]

I like it. It has some elements I want to build into my nightstand. I have it planned out, all except the wiring. It's gonna be made mainly of 2x2s and 1xs. Plans for a hidden wireless charger built into the top with an led indicator on the side for charging. A lamp coming out of the top. A drawer below the top, made to look like just trim. I want to use a magnetic child safety cabinet lock to lock and unlock the drawer. Leds below the drawer leading to a shelf area above a 2 shelf cabinet area also lit, when open. I have it planned and drawn, but need to consult with someone before going further for the wiring lol

[@dereksaunders472]

Brilliant Bob, I think I have just enough time to make a couple of these for my grandchildren for Christmas.

[@brandonburchett9996]

Bob I think you are a genius with the design you are awesome

[@ericjohn3664]

Great idea Bob! I love the utility of this project. Thanks.

[@mike_x48954]

A cool idea could be to integrate the lamp switch into the front of the robot with other switches & knobs and make its eyes light up when the lamp is on (I wouldn't have the eyes lit up all the time, as you would turn over in the middle of the night to see it glowing at you). The great thing with this sort of project is that you can customise it as much as you like.

[@guillermo60639]

That's fantastic! my only change would be putting the USB charging ports on his chest. Maybe add a sliding door to hide them when not in use? Great work like always!

[@Loredad13]

Now you've done it. You have no choice but to print and make one of those walking robots. This is so awesome.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Haha, that's a good idea :)

[@Pegwarmers]

I love this! Summer cool. I've only done a couple lamps before, but I like the USB changing station idea.

[@nathancolley2199]

I loved the lamp! I was even thinking of making this for my dad for Father's day.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Just now watching this and it is awesome! I know you said you were not sure if the robot shape was quite what you were going for, but I really like it! And it does make me think of those robots of old. Nice job, Bob!

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Great use of the ruler with the wood burner, Bob! I'll definitely try that in the future when I use mine. Thanks for sharing!

[@maximedeclerck4838]

should've made the hands so they could hold your phone!

[@russellwheeler0009]

Maxime De Clerck I was literally thinking the exact same thing!

[@coreycreehan8197]

We talked about that on the live stream when he built this. But he already made a phone/watch stand so there was no need. Good idea though! You should do that when you make yours!

[@Brunn0121]

like golding a plate to put the phone on, or make the hand hold the phone alone xD cool idea!

[@lownsm2103]

Maxime De Clerck or my j

[@BruceAUlrich]

Or had Jimmy Diresta plasma cut out a couple of those cool, steel hands he just did and franken them onto this robot! ha

[@johnlcallaway]

Thanks for hitting all of the high points and the important details, I've been wanting to do something similar for the lamp we have next to the couch where we sit in the evenings, this provides some great ideas.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Excellent! I hope it's helpful!

[@Borsch_TV]

good idea and very usefull usb ports on the back!!

[@EricGreaves]

Great idea and project! Love the concept of keeping charging cables hidden from view and being able to charge multiple things at once. Well done!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks!

[@JomasterTheSecond]

That is a super cute robot. You should totally sell a couple, lol. Anyway, I always love your projects. Keep up the good work mate!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks so much!

[@hgtydjdjdgh67889]

Cool project. Relatively simple and very useful, I'm going to make this as a baby shower gift next weekend.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Awesome! Great idea

[@zacprunty]

Great video bob! Love the design! Cool tip for wood burner I discovered on a recent project - use a razor blade to sever the wood fibers along your lines (you can use a straight edge) and let the wood burner tip ride the knife cut. It helps it stay straight and it evenly burns the line. Might be an extra step, but the result is great! Cheers! Love your videos!

[@Hppyzmbie]

This is one of my favorite builds you have done. I love old school robots and I have 4 kids all with electronic devices. I am totally going to try this one. Thank you for always putting out such great content!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Great!! Thanks so much (from a fellow father of 4)!!

[@kimhuff]

I absolutely love this! I hope I can get my hubby to make it. Great job as usual.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Pretty cool project!

[@etiennealbos9602]

Nice idea, give it to your child they will love it Very nice project

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

This is why you have 1.2mil+ subscribers. Love it. I'm definitely going to make one except a Lego minifigure style. Maybe a stormtrooper version. The head would be the most challenging part but my son would flip out! Thank you for the inspiration Bob, you make us see anything IS possible!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's awesome! Do it!

[@66justariot]

Love this channel and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thank you, as a guy with limited tools and a broad spectrum of interest you're channel meets the variety to be interesting for me, and the personality to keep me returning.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's very kind of you, thank you!!

[@mmcnama4]

Probably one of my favorite videos of yours!

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

Great project idea! I've been toying with some designs for a couple of forged bedside lamps with me and my partner, hadn't even thought of incorporating a USB charger! Thanks for the idea Bob, if I ever get around to making a video of mine I'll be sure to give you a heads up.

[@WebbedToedWorkbench]

Great weekend project. The usb charge station is a practical addition to a lamp. I plan to tweak the design and make a retro sci-fi lamp. Maybe a rocket. I love pyrography but I think I will paint mine. Thanks for sharing.

[@billfromelma]

Hey Bob, I love this. Super idea.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thank you!!

[@miracle7088]

I love the music in the backround! You have a talent for music and working with your hands.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@miracle7088]

Is it new? I don't think I have heard it before, or maybe haven't noticed it.

[@the_ninja_piggy7020]

Great videos, Through this KZbin madness I know I can find some peace in your videos, Keep up the good work

[@redcastle12b31]

Great project. looks like a good use for scraps. Thanks for your great work.

[@matthewrusso1350]

I think this is awesome! My wife just bought us new lamps for our nightstands (and she has final say)... or I'd be building this today.

[@SeanFoushee]

Great project. As a tip, after burning I've found using a card scraper instead of a sander does a great job of cleaning up the burn edges without sacrificing much of the definition of your design.

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Great build! Make several more, and a floor-sized one too!

[@mohamedawadh9051]

It's a great idea , I wish you all the best from Bahrain 🇧🇭

[@Astinxs]

Hi Bob, im from Chile and a big fan of your channel, it's inspiring and recently motivated me to make my own bed only using for the base 2 x 4's and i would love watching you make one of your own. Bye, thanks

[@titobee-lard5724]

Sebastian Cordova de que parte de Chile eres? yo soy venezolano pero vivo en Santiago.. super fan del bob..

[@Astinxs]

Hola Luis, de Santiago

[@brunorios6338]

loved that, definitely going to do one, with some small design differences

[@hamzaimran4128]

The best channel bcoz he links everything he uses

[@benjenkin1605]

Such a sick Idea! There's so many ways you could do this is well!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Love the idea and the robot looks good too!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Andrea!

[@elizabethsuggs993]

I love this and now plan to make one for a good friend for his birthday. Thanks

[@GeekBuildersNet]

Cool "light hearted" project.

[@asyrafs9349]

Hey bob I love watching your videos despite I'm not a DIY guy much, it just satisfy me to watch people make something. If you're open to new ideas do you mind creating an ASMR version video of your next project too? You could even start a second channel and make two videos for each of your projects!

[@forensicdoc6241]

I love robots and I really like this project! Very cool idea.

[@samerullah9884]

Looks amazing!! Personally I'd add in a digital clock as well but make the actual body a different shape.

[@simon4realvideos]

Very nice and inspiring project, the robot looks great!

[@johnthigpen1174]

Love your channels Bob. My son and I enjoy watching the videos together. He want's me to build him a light saber now. Thanks. LOL

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's really awesome to hear John!! Thank you!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Yay for robots! Great idea and it looks awesome :D

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thank you!!

[@marriedmanfix1]

absolutely love this. I'll be making one for my son's room.

[@kindalost1]

You are a truly an inspiring person. Got so many ideas and courage to do from your vids. Keep up the great work ! Hello from Israel.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

:) That's awesome, thank you!

[@sheendex]

Taught me something here, to use pliers to change the wood burner tips. I was waiting for it to cool before I changed them. Thanks

[@vincentwolfe]

I think I am going to make some of these for christmas presents, maybe not a robot, but the general idea is awesome.

[@jayk7057]

Something cool to ad would've been to make the switch in one of the arms so that when the arm was put up the lamp was on and down off or make the arm hand an Iwatch charger or make the iPhone charge cables come out a door on the front of the robot, just some ideas I had, awesome video!

[@neo87bassel]

bob thank you for every video , I hope one day to have a workshop like you, your friend bassel from palestine

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks so much Bassel!

[@iDeviceChgr]

Awesome to see it all finished! It was cool seeing you problem solve making this on twitch 👍🏼

[@cwhussey5432]

your not making this easy for me... Now my wife and two daughters want one for their rooms... Not a robot of course... Awesome Job and great video...

[@Brunn0121]

A project without clamps isn't a project. jokes aside, i love your channel and this robot was so well done and even better, it has utility, awesome!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Haha, very true! Clamp Champ will return! Thanks!

[@Behemoth034]

That's so cool! awesome design on the robot.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great project. Watched it with my son. He wants to build one together.

[@clydebalcom8252]

I want one. It's fun and neat. I would add a clock in the torso and set the arms to hold stuff.

[@isaacshiellsthomas992]

Thursday is the best day of the week!

[@aswan2791]

You should do more videos with the wood burner it looks like you enjoyed using it.

[@warrenvannuil8401]

I like all your videos. You make things look so simple. Thanks for doing what you do

[@swr420]

Very cool little project. Great idea to make some to sell for craft shows.

[@gavinwright1572]

Super cool build Bob! Great job!

[@Jeremy_gartee]

Very nice . I've been watching you the last month or so and I'm really getting addicted to your videos great job. Its really making want to get into woodworking.

[@xGBHxPegasus]

Awesome lamp, seems it would be pretty simple to do even with few tools!

[@enggabriela]

Awesome and cute! Incredible how many working machines you have! I want them all!!

[@ulaasKb]

So much thanks for the idea. This will be the best present for my cousin...

[@SmallShopWorks]

I would have loved to see this one 3d printed with some more detail. Great project though very useful, I love the idea.

[@brockvivek012]

Again back with a excellent lamp this robot looking so nice and a great creativity thanks for giving this wonderful project to see . waiting for another notification of ur channel

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Nice to see the final product after seing the process live on twitch.😊

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks man!

[@imsuchaqueen7449]

This man can make almost anything Wow

[@jaytechCFL]

Another great project, Bob! Thank you.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Jason!

[@brandon2076]

It would be funny if the lamp shade itself would be the robot's head, like "giant-head mode" in Ratchet & Clank! Great job Bob, love it.

[@DrewLytle]

Awesome project! I think it would be cool if you flipped the hands of the arms so that you could lay your phone across it while it's charging. Then you have a place off of the nightstand to put your phone AND it looks cute cause the robot would be holding onto it haha. Thanks for showing me that wood burners still exist in this day and age where it seems like everyone has a laser!

[@nyxhenson3192]

that is so cool bob!very creative and amazing at the same time!

[@funboxentertainment1745]

this inspires me to make my own charging lamp thanks you Bob. And by the way it looks amazing I love it, keep on making.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks great. I need to sort my mess of cables out

[@eric.c2689]

I love your project. Really cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@JustFoolingAround]

Very cool !! don't know how we missed this video, my daughter loves robots and wants to make something like this. love your channel
