Among the huge variety of lamps, it is not so easy for us to make a choice of which one to buy, so that it will go to the interior, be interestingly executed, and the price will not bite. There are a huge number of models that are divided into groups: - these are floor lamps, sconces, and lamps made in a strict office style, and decorative, which are often very intricately made. They can be in the form of some figurines, or be an installation on any topic. It is about this lamp and will be discussed in this article. We will look at the example of the author of the YouTube channel Glavnyiy Mehanik how you can create such a lamp with your own hands from improvised means and with a minimum investment. Parts from which the lamp will be assembled can be easily purchased either at the flea market, or found at home or from friends in bins.
To create this lamp cars used:
Faro FR-100,
various wrenches, chains from a bicycle and a moped, nuts, a cord, a switch, various spray paints, a 220 volt LED lamp.
Tool:
welding machine, sand blasting, Bulgarian.
Step 1.
Before starting work, the author prepares all parts of the future lamp.
He disassembles the lamp he has, pulls out and removes all unnecessary insides - the lamp and its landing socket, wires. Takes wrenches of different sizes and chains. All components are thoroughly treated with old paint and other contaminants in the sandblaster.
Step 2.
Now the author begins the process of assembling the robot. Taking wrenches and putting them together, they weld them together at about a 90 degree angle. These are blanks of legs. They are welded to the base - a nut of large diameter.
Step 3.
A head is created. To do this, to the swivel, which is available on the headlamp welded 2 bolts. They will play the role of shoulders, which will be welded hands. Next, you need to connect the lower and upper parts. For this purpose, the electrode is perfectly suitable, which is pre-hammered from the coating. Weld both parts to the electrode, which will serve as the basis for the spine of the whole figure. Spanners-arms are welded to the shoulders.
Step 4.
A bicycle chain is taken and cut to size, which will be equal to the length of the vertebral electrode. Welded to the electrode. Also from the chains Glavnyiy Mehanik makes feet for feet and hands for hands. Attached to the keys serving and arms and legs.
The chain from the moped will be instead of the edges of the figure. The structure is clamped in a vice and chains-ribs are welded to it from the inside. They are of different sizes - long on the top, short on the bottom. Now the chains are curved to get a semicircle. Welded clings between each other so as not to lose shape.
Nuts are welded to the vertebra. Their size depends on which power cord you will use for power. The main condition is that the wasp passes freely through the holes of the nuts to the lamp.
Step 5.
We proceed to the most interesting - we give completeness to the almost finished product. Spray paint on the details you like the colors of colors. A lubricant is placed inside the swivel. At the reflector, the grinder cuts the mount from the old lamp. In its place is installed a new base for modern LED lamps. The plug and the switch are connected to a cord. The cord itself is carried through the nuts installed on the spine. The cord is put in the headlamp and is disconnected from the base. LED lamp is screwed on 220V. We collect the spotlight.
As a result of all the works described above, the author got such an interesting decorative lamp from his hands.
