Did you ever do the light-brite project? I don't see it on the channel's video list...

My grandfather had that lamp on his desk for YEARS before a house fire destroyed it. This video brought up great memories.

Then let's hope for this guy that the house fire wasn't started by the lamp itself.

The REM song you like to use was recorded at ARDENT Studios, Memphis TN. My pal Michou is one of those high pitched Choral voices you hear on the REM song you use for sanding moments. She was a student there at the time and they just grabbed her on the fly and had her pitch in her voice for fun.

That is some awesome music history! How cool is that?!?!

Nostalgia hits hard on this one. I had that lamp as a kid and I loved it. It had this hum as the bulbs warmed up. I can even remember how the switches felt. I spent hours drawing under that light. I might have to go on the hunt for one now.

I had this exact lamp as a kid, Dave! Ditto on previous comments about the hum, nostalgia, etc! Still loving the channel and hope you are able to put some stuff on second channel regarding your car & other non-woodworking projects like you have mentioned in “the after show!” Looking forward to many more - keep up the great work!

Most DEFINITELY the Light Bright! Awesome redo of the lamp!!

6:58 got me. Well played.

Dude watching My Cousin Vinney while having fun in the shop. Now that is a good day!!

The head turn while sanding, the “thanks Dave!” Such good moments in this project!!

Great job brother! Light Bright for the next one, you've got plenty of walnut!

I've watched you transform so many pieces from the antique mall to your own creations for a long time. They always turn out so good!! You have a knack for this clearly.

This turned out AWESOME! My grandmother had this same lamp. I say do the Lite-Brite! The other one is already a wooden item. Turning the plastic Lite-Brite into a wooden version, with LED lighting, would look cool.

The lamp turned out so nice! I'm excited to see the rebound game remake

I have to admit I was proven wrong. I honestly thought that orange acrylic was going to be hideous, but it actually really works. I dig it.

This thing came out ULTRA SICK!

It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos with all the different amazing woodworking channels on KZread. But still, every time someone is sanding any that little song plays in my head! Excellent branding there!

This was vintage Dave. Amazing audible and result on project

The top of that lamp reminds me of an Atari 2600 🤣 Yes I'm old LOL I 100% approve of your buys.

David this is one of the best video projects you have ever made, I am so inspired by your ability to make and problem solve. Thank you, Scott

Great fun Dave! Thanks for having me on the team!

You are a pleasure to work with!

I had that lamp for doing my homework in gradeschool in the 70s. it reminds me of the first Atari game console. Love the fake plastic wood grain. Dave thanks for demonstrating your art in woodworking.

Nice demonstration of how to work through potential problems in a project.

Great use of storytelling in this one. I really enjoyed seeing you brainstorm. That's one of my favorite aspects about making. You did a great job of capturing it from different angles and that's not always easy when filming a project.

I think you were having to much fun redoing that lamp. LOL 🤗You problem solving was spot on today. I loved the finished lamp.

I absolutely love your videos. I got into wood working because I bought my childhood home that was almost a tear down and have rebuilt it without any experience, but a lot of experience with working and building with my hands. I learned to love problem solving. So much of my time was spent on looking at a situation with no idea how to fix it and coming up with a solution. I believe that’s where we connect. I will say this, not all of us have all the equipment you have. It would be nice if you showed us an alternative way of doing things with consideration to the tools we might not have. Thanks for the video.

Love the problem solving, and the lamp turned out great too!

Thanks Jonathan!

That turned out AWESOME...

Stunning! I want to see the light bright

I had that lamp back in the day! Do the light bright! But do it in like old pine or cedar for fun!

Cool project! I enjoyed the problem solving aspect.

Beautiful! Light Bright. These two yoots. I love My Cousin Vinny. Excellent choice!

This....this is what I love. I genuinely get excited about problem solving in my own projects, just as you are here.

This is destructively cool. Totally rad!

“So, Mr. Tipton, how could it take you five minutes to cook your grits, when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes.” I always love these videos. Maybe the next adventure to the antique mall will have Grandpa P as a co-star.

What you did here is exactly what I like about making things... being a Maker. I'm glad you are enjoying the creative process of exercising your brain by problem solving and going with the flow.

So the base is basically like a bandsaw box. Brilliant. I was thinking how would I use the CNC or drill press, but using the bandsaw and making a veneer was pure genuineness. Love watching you think through problems.

Love that antique mall!

Seeing that REBOUND game brings back my 1970s childhood. And that mall reminds me of Kevin Smith's "MALLRATS". 🤘

The second I saw the t-shirt you are wearing in this video I immediately paused said video and bought one. Congrats, your advertising worked.

Oh man, thank you!!

That turned out awesome! The orange really does make it pop

Nice work on the lamp, it came out great. My vote is for the rebound game next.

I wasn’t sure where you were going with this project, but Wow, it turned out great. It’s amazing how wood, skill and imagination can make almost anything look great. Awesome job on the lamp!

My Cousin Vinny in the background!!! Great movie - love it!

It's so much fun watching you have fun building this. Happy new year.

Work of art mate. Also, definitely the rebound game. What about a whole series of all the old classic games.

Two cushion bounce game. Also this gave me a great idea to get a desk lamp that matches decor of my office - thanks!

The lite brite. I loved those as a kid. A wood paneled one would really set off the late 70s/early 80s vibe it has.

And that project came out amazing btw.

My Cousin Vinnie I love that movie! Nice job on the lamp too!

Absolutely gorgeous

Wow that came out really awesome.

If you swap the florescents out with LED bars you can remove the 2 transformers that are used to light the florescents. Less cutouts to do. Great work, that will be a fun project to do.

You turned a vintage lamp into a retro lamp, nice job, David! So inspiring to see you combine all kinds of techniques with woodworking and create awesome stuff!

that certainly was a cool build, thanks for bringing that to us

That was pretty wild watching that thing come together. Great video, Dave!

Hey Sam! Thanks!

Very nice! Probably my favourite project on this channel 💪😊

Cool project Dave! Hope you got Dan to screwup at 1 shot! Keep having fun with the projects!

I had that lamp growing up, such a cool lamp

That's beautiful! I haven't seen the channel in a long time and I can't believe the growth! Wow, David's making Toledo proud

My grandfather has this exact lamp sitting downstairs in his basement on an old massive steel desk he got from the time he was in the Army. That really brought back some memories.. I might have to go pick that up and start a project. Great video!!

Love the project! Those "things" are called ballasts and are needed for Fluorescent lighting.

Great video. That metallic accent made the piece go from great to excellent dude!!

Glad I’m not the only person who bought those wire connectors on Instagram.

I really like these style projects like the calculator you did the in the past

Nice!

This was amazing. The acrylic is perfect for it.

Love this!!! I really like how you are rebuilding things from the past out of wood. Thank you again!

Great video, David! I’d love to see the Lite Brite next.

I'd like to see the Light Bright next. Also, hope you all did well during our cold snap last week.

Absolutely love it !!

Lite-Brite!!! My dad has one of those lamps floating around his house right now!

Man! I’m so impressed. The orange acrylic really made I huge impact. Now I have to think of ways to incorporate colored acrylics into my builds. Fantastic!

Yes, thank you

I love this, David. Thank you for inspiring me. These types of projects are what motivate me.

I've always liked your videos. Thank you

Your enthusiasm in the shop always makes me want to get in the shop and have some fun!

Enjoyed this build a lot! Very nice workmanship. Problem solving and finding solutions is always so satisfying.

Oh man. I had one of those lamps as a kid!

I love lamp.

Beautiful lamp, Rebound game next.

Problem Solving is a skill and you are skilled to the max. Only web developers know that "Building it from scratch" is not DIY, it's a royal pint in the .... I'm an ex-dev and just starting to integrate electronics with wood. Thank Dave and you for taking the time to film and edit this video. Inspiration. Keep broadcasting!!

Love this make over series! So entertaining! Keep ‘em coming ❤❤

Nicely done. A vote for Lite Brite next, please

I recently saw an adult-size lightbrite and thought it would be so cool to try and figure out how to make one of those for my granddaughter. When you picked that up at the antique mall, I knew you were going to do something fun with it…what about a re-doing it as a giant one so I can shamelessly steal from your talent in watching how you work through it. 😂

6:40 What I like to do is drive a couple of the finest brad nails into the corner of the bottom part, part way; then clip off the remainder of the nail so it just sticks out a tiny bit. Clipping the head off with nippers will forge a reasonable point on the end. Now when you press the parts together, the point will drive into the top part and prevent any sliding.

Very cool, I was worried the goose neck wouldn’t be able to hold the extra weight. Looks like it can!

Great as always!

Nice solution.🥰 Your voice went so high talking about the electronics I thought it'd attract all the dogs in the area.🐶

One of the coolest projects for a long time! Thanks

These are the kind of videos that deserve to be watched and enjoyed. Love the direction you're going! Love the podcast too!

Love watching the ideas coming into fruition in your mind before you do it. You truly have a gift at making what YOU want to make, and not let hiccups get in your way. Cheers!!!

That lamp brings back memories of high school and studying at my desk.

As my daughter would say, “I didn’t like this video; I loved it!” And my vote is for the Rebound game.

That's sick man, very nice 👍🏻🙂

Wow, that turned out amazing! And to think, the real friends were the problems we solved along the way.

Fantastic work, Dave! That's just brilliant! 😃 I don't know any of the other stuff you mentioned, but I'm definitely looking forward to see you make both! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I've been vibing so much harder on the background music ever since the guitar build episode!!

Super cool lamp. One super cool addition would have been to make the front part a tray sort of for a wireless phone charger. This would be really nice for that person who has a nice office and they can just set their phone down and it keeps charged.

I have that same lamp I might try to copy you and make one myself

Super fun rebuild project! I rebuilt a desk lamp we found in our current house when we moved in. Mine is a 50's art deco style which looks really cool. Gave it a paint job, replaced the florescent bulbs with LED strips, and replaced the antique push buttons with a toggle switch, and added a braided power cord. Super happy with how it turned out and I kinda want to do another one. Happy New Year to you and your family and thanks for sharing!

I thought of this lamp as an Atari lamp for whatever reason 😂 Love the video Dave!
