DIY DESK LAMP – MAKE a modern LED DESK LAMP
I built a DIY desk lamp out of ash. This modern LED desk lamp looks beautiful. The design of the lamp is very clear and straightforward, just two cleats at an angle on a foot with brass fittings and a red fabric-covered cable for some extra visual accent.
I learned a lot in this build about planing wood by hand – the first time that I really tried that but certainly not the last time. See the links below for some resources on that.
This is my entry for Holzwurm Tom’s LED Build Challenge 2017 – #HolzwurmTomChallenge2017

Partners and “Advertisement” label ##
I explain the details in this video: • MY PARTNER COMPANIES – What YOU have to kn...
I want to let you know that I cooperate with a couple of tool companies. Occasionally, they provide me with some of their tools for me to use in the shop.
But: Whenever you see me using a tool it means that I like it and think it’s worth using. When I do a review, I tell you my honest opinion.
I want to be transparent about these partnerships, however, so that you’re not kept in the dark and can make up your own mind if you think I’m in fact unbiased or not.
My partner companies are: Bessey, Kreg, Maschinenhandel Meyer, Triton, Wolfcraft (as of 02/2018)
