In this session we will make the lamp socket.

  
Laying out the lamp connector socket, the MDF is just the right thickness.

From the previous related post on this with the lamp fitted into the front of the can we can now make the base.

  

Marked out the base on a piece of MDF.

Homemade LED floor lamp - 1

Decided to try and make a MR16 LED work lamp.

I always have a supply of pop cans in the workshop, they make great shim material and a common use for me is to fit bearings onto shafts.

For this particular LED lamp a small coke can is exactly the right diameter. I need to buy some MR16 lamp holders but in the meantime lets have a go at making one.

Some photos to show where were at with the build.

14” Bandsaw – More electrical work

Got some stuff from the market today including insert nuts and in particular two LED sticks.

14” Bandsaw – Lower blade guides 2 update

Just a update this morning before we go to market and shops.

As with the upper guides using a piece of laminate flooring to mount the bearings.
I don’t have the right length 8mm bolts so they are just sitting there with no nuts at the back.
