In this review, the author shows how to make a cool DIY wood lamp with your own hands. This lamp is made in the form of a small dog.
Of course, adult uncles may not like this homemade product, but in children it will definitely cause a storm of emotions.
To do or not to do this home-made is up to you. But in any case, the lamp turned out to be cool.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself: how to make stylish and original home lighting fixtures with your own hands.
The main stages of work
For the manufacture of DIY fixtures, you can use both wood and plywood.
First of all, we determine the dimensions of the lamp and cut out all the necessary details for our “dog”: four legs, two ears, a tail, a neck and a body.
From four sections of the board, the author makes a “head” - a lampshade in which the light source (bulb) will be located.
At the next stage, holes for fasteners need to be drilled in the blanks. Then the author paints the details with a stain. You can also varnish.
Then you can begin to assemble the lamp. First we attach the paws, neck and tail to the body. Then we fix the head.
For ease of mounting parts, the author uses bolts with wing nuts. Then it remains only to tighten the ears, and our "dog" is ready.
We fasten the cartridge, screw in the light bulb and fix the cord to the body so that it does not hang out (or you can leave it free).
