How to make an industrial robot pipe lamp
In this video I show how to make an industrial robot lamp from galvanized pipe fittings. This is a very simple and easy project. I used an old desk lamp for the head of the robot. I added a multi-colored LED bulb to give it a little color and character. This little Steampunk robot can be made in one evening with very few tools. I think I may add a base later because it’s a little top-heavy.

Great project! I LOVE the vacuum/string method! Thanks!

Glad you liked it!
I want to thank you for posting this awesome video, as it gave me the inspiration to reproduce the lamp as a gift for my grandson’s Birthday. He loves it and gets mad when it’s time to turn it off for bedtime! I did mount it to a base and incorporated a dimmer switch, to use a normal led bulb. And the vacuum trick worked like a charm! Thanks again!

I learned that trick from an electrician. He would use the vacuum to pull the string through conduit and then pull the larger pull rope with the string and finally pull the wire with the pull rope.
That is just too cool 😎 Thanks for sharing

Cool looking robot. What’s the total cost for parts?
@Makebuildmodify

Too much. I think is was about $100.00. But I justified it because of the video.
This is really cool. I was looking for the Lamp/Liquor dispenser though. I've seen them on pintrest for sale but want to make it myself. If you have the details, please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Joe! I don't have any plans for a drink dispensing version. I wish I did. But if you think about it, it's probably a pretty straight for build.

Hey man! This is very nice, I can't find the items in Romania :( I am not a plumber nor have I any knowledge about the parts, is there maybe a different terminology for all the pipes here? help!

I'm not sure what to say about finding these parts near you. Maybe just buy them on Amazon. I think I linked them in the description.

About how much did this cost to make?
@Makebuildmodify

That depends on the cost of the pipe fitting at the time of purchase. When I build this lamp it was about $100.00 in parts.
This is a really cool idea, but exposed metal piping that's not earthed is a death trap. You are one loose wire away from grabbing the thing and being unable to let go.

Most lamps in the United States are not typically earthed or "grounded".
