It’s simple enough to make it without the epoxy, why not use the origin to cut out a piece of white acrylic that will inlay into the cut out made for the led’s? It will fit perfectly and you could easily figure a way to make it removable. Holes could be drilled to let heat out through the top of the light so no more issues there. It would essentially look the same but would function better and be easier and quicker to make.

a design element that may help prevent heating issues is for the cut out circle where the LEDs are to go all the way to the back of the wood and not only half way, you could leave bridges every few inches so it doesn't break. leaving the resin on the bottom half only and the top half exposed with no need to cover them with resin.

As a maker, I suggest that you use your heat gun to shrink your ‘heat shrink’ instead of a flame, I see a lot of people do this and it’s wrong. Also I don’t think it was necessary to use a special computer router or whatever it was to route that channel for the LEDS, I think you could of did that with just a regular router because the shape is kinda random anyways and you wouldn’t know if it was perfect. Also I think you could of but all the electronics and ceiling support in the first piece of wood instead of adding a another cover because you can see that. Good video, I do like seeing mistakes people run into in videos. It makes you human :)

First time using a band saw?. Consider lowering the guard to come within 10mm of the work piece. It'll decrease flex on the blade, and protect your fingers from being cut off. 10mm is roughly 5/8" for those in the three countries on earth still using inches. (It's closer to 9.5mm but...). Also, on the'world's most dangerous router bit', consider bringing the fence forward to partially enclose the cutter. This works with straight and circular trimming, and prevents you from cutting bits of your hand off as well. Alternatively, you can make a clear acrylic guard to go over the top of the cutter enabling you to machine the workpiece with your fingers well away from the cutter. This will prevent your hands from shrinking suddenly from cutter impact syndrome.

you could pour the epoxy and mount the led's behind it, since you made the housing for the electronics anyways. Put some reflecting material on the housing slab you put on the strengthen the light being emitted through the epoxy. this makes it so you can change your led's

Maybe you could've used a reflective piece of paper or something like that on the inside of the cutout where the LEDs sit so that light could reflect back right outwards. That would make it much more powerful source of light.

I didn't read all the comments so please accept my apologies if this has already been asked, but what other than the power flex is supporting the weight of all that wood? Over time (and this lamp is intended to hang up there for years), a copper conductor will be stretched under stress like that. When a copper conductor stretches it's thickness decreases (mostly at flawed points) and the resistance to electrical current increases, restricting the current carrying capacity of said copper conductor. If you then continue to draw beyond the maximum current carrying capacity of that cable then that cable will get hotter than its originally intended design. If you use an over-sized cable such as 2.5mm commonly used for ring mains here in UK (I think it's the same in the USA), then this may not be an issue, but if you're using what is commonly used for lighting circuits i.e. a 1mm or even a .75mm cable to save some cash you can probably now understand the potential issues. I hope. But, looking further back and into the distribution board/consumer unit we would expect to find a 5/6 amp fuse/breaker dependant on it's age, protecting that circuit. If the cables CSA has reduced such that the current carrying capacity of the cable is below that of the protective breaker, then that breaker will never trip under fault conditions. The breaker is there to protect the cable, if the breakers rating is beyond that of the cable it may as well not be there. I'm probably over thinking things, but I personally would include a nice decoractive chain to support the whole lump of wood. (Shrug)

My shop is in the basement of my condo building, and I do electronics at my desk in my place....left the heat gun in the shop so it was 5 floors away. plus fire looks cool on film :) You could definitely do the epoxy pour that way, but would need to cut all the way through the slab then, which presents another set of challenges, altho I definitely think it's doable!

another "maybe" alternative you could do to make the LEDs replaceable is to cut the wood into two pieces you're gonna do the epoxy on the bottom part and use the top part to hold the LEDs then screw those two parts together and do some finishing if there are any problems with those LEDs in near future, just disassemble it and replace the LEDs just an idea :)

I have had almost the exact same issue with cutting wires and needing to dig into the wood of the lamp to repair them. I didn't cut the wires with a tool though, and instead the wires broke clean off due to me moving the wire around as I was finishing the exterior of the wood. One thing I have started doing differently that would have made that situation easier is using silicone rather than hot glue to fill the holes. It is so much easier to remove if you need to!

Thanks! I'm definitely more concerned about heat/fire hazard in practice, than I am about the weight. Locust is a pretty light wood, similar to cedar. The pendant is probably 10 lbs or so, if I had to guess.

@@modustrial Another idea for consideration would be clear fishing line. I may try to do this myself and use enamelled copper wire to feed the low voltage to the fixture from a supply hidden in the ceiling void. The idea of a light fitting apparently just floating in mid air appeals to me. Obviously there might be issues with heat dissipation and also the current carrying capacity of thin enamelled wire.. but not insurmountable I would think

If you could somehow pass electrical current through clear wiring and create a floating light, that would be amazing....I'm not familiar with the material you are talking about. I'll have to do a little research on it

This is one case where it would actually be a tiny bit harder on a CNC router. The Shaper Origin uses a camera to align itself, and more importantly lets you see exactly where the cut is before you start. This makes it way easier than trying to line things up on a CNC, unless you have one of those lasers that draws the cut for you.. lol.. I don't have nor can I afford one, but you should really search "Shaper Origin" here in KZread and see what it can do. Then again, once you see it, you'll be as jealous as me.. :-)

LED "could" not burn : THEY WILL !!! I speak from professional experience of a large scale deployment. There are way better ways to do this but basicly : if you can't led LEDs "breathe" (leave them in contact with free air to dissipate the "little heat", well, the heat will accumulate and the junction temperature inside the LED will exceed the working limits.

Doesn't epoxy actually transfer heat better than air? So if an LED-strip is cool enough to be used without any heat sinks (just passive air cooling), having it surrounded with epoxy should actually cool it even more effectively.

Hey there MM, If you want to use the palm router to follow the rings by hand, try outlining with a chisel around the rings you want to target. Giving yourself a solid cut at the boundary allows you to get close to it, without actually touching it, and accurately hit your target every time. The goal is to keep the chisel cut slightly deeper than you plan to pass with the router. Good luck with future efforts.

I really doubt the heat those LED's output could ever heat up that big of a slab of wood enough to be of any concern. Also, AIR is actually one of the best thermal insulators there is... Especially since the resin is poured in after the LED's are placed the LEDs probably are going to conduct the heat into the epoxy well enough to be nowhere near a fire hazard.

Very very impressive work

Nice prototype.. For changeable led's and heat issue. How about: Instead of making a deep channel for the leds, make the channel whole way through the wood. Attach the wood tightly to table having some paper between there. Then fill only certain amount rezin from top side so there is only needed amount of rezin for looks and holding the wood together. Now you would have open channel on the top for the leds and air is flowing freely. For transformer you can make a "collar" completely open from top instead of cup. This is a hanging light and no one is looking it from top. This could resolve the heat issues for the transformer. :)
