Extendable Scissor Lamp
No workshop is complete without a shop light. I built a scissor mechanism so it can extend and swivel over the workbench; I even added some braided lamp cord for that industrial look. It's amazing what you can build with some scrap wood!
Mounting the lamp required a unique solution so that the lamp could tuck away when not needed, but also peek around the corner to be able to extend the entire span of the workbench. Some black iron pipe adds to the aesthetic and allows for a full range of motion.
The main inspiration can be found here:
woodgears.ca/reader/walters/s...
However I modified the design so that the mechanism parts weren't permanently glued in place. Gluing the parts together means that if something gets tight and needs adjustment, there aren't many options for troubleshooting. Using hardware is more expensive, but this thing is completely adjustable and comes apart completely if need be.
There is enough room on the end to add more gadgets if needed, I'm considering a magnifying glass which would be useful.

No talk or long-winded narration, no obnoxiously bad royalty-free music, just straight-up build footage and assembly. Instant subscribe.
I wish KZread would allow KZreadrs to set their ads to silent... Had this turned up to listen to the soothing workshop sounds and OH MAN

As intrusive as ads are, the whole point of ads is to get your attention, if even just for a second. Google is an ad company. It would be highly counter-productive for them to add a function that automatically mutes their sponsors ads.

Of course you can just block the ads withAdBlock or Ghostly or other adblockers People say you shouldnt do this because it eats into the YTers potential profits, but actually it just eats into their sponsors profits, it hurts the big man not the little man, and since its the big man thats annoying me, and the little man thats pleasing me, im totally fine with that

youtube should have any Ads. not a one. remember those days just click and watch without any bullshit
Very cool! Quite clever! Can never have enough lighting where you need it in the shop! Thanks for taking the time & effort to video it and share it with us!
Scissor extensions are so cool. They have a compact feeling that's hard to replicate with other sliding mechanisms.
Impossibly cool, stunningly beautiful and insanely overbuilt. God bless you.
wow, great video, the extending/contracting action looks so smooth
Great videography along with an awesome project! Thanks!
That was fantastic! Thanks for showing that to us!
Looks great. Functional and fairly heavy duty.
I watched this video because I was interested in the scissor lamp build. It’s a very clever and wonderful project. But what is even better is the craftsmanship and over-the-top-quality of the video production. Fantastic video!
beautiful range of motion, well thought out end to end
Love that your intro is just your work place in silence
You and Frank H. Are two peas in the over engineering pod and I LOVE you both. Amazing work.
Una pieza espectacular! La edición del vídeo es igualmente impresionante, sin decir nada lo dices todo! Enhorabuena!!!
Now I know how it is done ... I just need all the machinery. As a joke, I watched the whole video because something that seemed simple to do, was more complicated for it to work as it should. Ingenious, with details and made with wood and water pipes. I also always enjoy observing each one's ability in his trade. Good job.
Fantastic. Exceptionally well made. very professional
Your video is a pleasure to watch and the work piece is gorgeous.
Very nice video. Build explained by the well edited story without a "YO! KZreadRS" or loud clashing music....thank you!
Excellent project. Looks amazing
The Ol’ outdoor driveway planer...I bet your neighbors LOVE you!
Dude, you do fantastic work!
Likely the most well executed light of this type I've seen on you tube. Well done sir!
Nice ! Wonderful workmanship!
And now I’ve watched, very cool!
Man this is much more satisfying and better than cringy satisfying videos, Measured Workshop doesn't have any excessive music, talking and their captions describe what they're doing. Keep it up :D
Very nice desing, industrial style, congratulations and thanks to share it.
What a nice job man!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
Súper job! Congratulations 👏👏👏
I loved how you played "Dire Dire Docks" on it at the end.

Wrong video.
Very well executed design! Great video also
I love you scissor setup. I probably will build one but will mount it with cord loops at the bottom to prevent the cord from interfering with the scissors. Your videos are awesome keep up the great work.
Beautiful job! Beautiful machines! You looks like a doctor... a cientist! Congratulations! You are the best! Thanks from south of Brasil.
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
What an absolutely gorgeous video - great product design, nice finishing, and what superb videography!
Great project! I might have to do this and adapt it for my podcasting microphone
This looks really nice, well made. nice idea👍🏼👍🏼
Congratulatios beautiful design. I'm Mauricio from São Paulo, Brasil.
Thanks for sharing that, good idea!
I made one of these from two old expanding coat racks someone threw out and some odds and ends laying around the shop. I still use it over my lathe. To be honest though, mine might be cheaper (although just as functional) yours is much more aesthetically pleasing
Bright idea. At the end, with the demo of the lamp and the extending arm, I was waiting for a bouncing beach ball - and a mini lamp ;-)
Es perfecto, precioso, practico etc... que trabajo tan bien hecho, gracias
There are not many projects I see that impress me as much as this one does. Something that is needed in the shop and very unique. I'm sure you will eventually add a bracket for your camera as well. Just a thought. Great job.
Great project!
Beautiful design and beautiful photografy
Truly a work of art
outstanding !!!
Very nice, wonderful woodwork.
It’s a cool retro style lamp. Awesome
Nicely done -- all around.
Que trabalho fantástico amigo. Parabéns e abraços do Brasil
You did a great job
Que criatividade. Munto bom . (Brasil, Bauru - SP)
Fantastic work. Congratulations
Nice work, beautiful lamp, but in the joint system on the tube I would put the locking clamp on a free ring in the middle of the joints, in this way you can fix the height without blocking the right-left movement
Brilliant work and I like your style In making the video, it’s silent but informative 👍
Excellent project 👍
beautiful!
Well done. Great invented.

That's definitely what I was thinking too! I have to figure out a way to rig it on there, but there's more than enough room to scab it on there I think.
Muy bonita y muy buena terminación, lo único que me gustaría con el cables en espiral tipo resorte, felicitaciones.
Не заменимая вещь в мастерской. С меня лайк. 👍
Gracias! a tu video excelente👍,Qué demonios hiciste trabajo impresionate

The subjects covered in this woodworking website t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.
Отлично!👍 вот только я бы сделал фиксирующую муфту независимо от гармошки светильника, чтоб можно было крутить конструкцию на самой трубе:)
