Laminated Cedar Spiral Lamp from Two 2x4's
Laminated Cedar Spiral Lamp from Two 2x4's
This project was prompted by the #two2x4challenge put on by the guys at the Modern Maker Podcast.
www.modernmake...
I wanted to create a piece that completely removed any evidence that it was made form 2x4’s. I also wanted to try an experiment with rubber bands and a cardboard concrete form for the lamination process. I’ve often wondered if it would work and this was my opportunity to find out. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this experiment /project and I hope you like it too.
Thank for watching and I hope you enjoyed!

I'm not hating on your rubber band technique, but perhaps (if there's a next time) it would be easier to clamp one end with a piece of twine clamped with the wood as well, and then you can start from that end and wrap the twine around the wood and tube until you reach the other end. Idk, might be faster, and the twine could then be reused.
@Makebuildmodify

I've tried similar methods. The physics of tensioning the twine causes a pulling force that travels along the twine linearly. As the twine tension increases so does the friction on the wood. This causes a dissonant pulling force against the desired finished laminated spiral. The nice thing about the rubber bands is that most of the force is pulling straight toward the center of the tube with almost no dissonant friction. It makes it very easy to do the fine adjustments on the final spiral.

Try looping one rubber band to the next and so on. Used this technique repairing a guitar body. Great for clamping odd shapes. Bands can be reused as well. Top build there my man.

I can verify this is a great design, the golden spiral has good visual appeal. I made this but shortened it for a table lamp, 32 inches tall, kept the spiral and diameter the same and it looks great. Added a paisley lace shade instead of the plastic and gloss poly with no stain for the wood finish. Soaked the wood before wrapping helps a lot. Used used #12 insulated wire as giant tie wraps instead of rubber bands. I really appreciate you sharing this as my table lamps were a birthday gift for my wife and she really likes them. Thank you soooo much! John

It's tough to say what "great at science and math" means. I've been an autodidact as far back as I can remember. I've had no real conventional education to speak of other than a home based education as a child and few interest based college courses. So I'm not sure how I measure up. I started part time work in construction at 15 and have been working in that field intermittently in various professional capacities. There were no real mentors to speak of other than massive amounts of on the job experiences. I also had an uncle that was for all intents and purposes a master carpenter. He set a pretty high bar when it came to quality. However, I had very little opportunity to interact as an apprentice.

Justin, you inspired me to choose your KZread site my first subscription. Thanks very much! Your video and audio commentary make this project so accessible. This week I decided to try the laminations the way you showed it in your video. I did the first two spirals and on the third one though, I tried putting the elastics around the completed laminations and spread the elastics out about 1 inch apart. When I laid them around the tube there was no slippage of the layers and I just had to use ratchet squeeze bar clamps on each end of the tube. I wasn't sure if it would work without the elastics on the big tube but it did work. I hope this helps. Thanks again for a brilliant project!

if you want to do this but DON'T have access to defunct plasma TV's, you can buy diffusion material in a wide gradient of opacity from photography stores and places that rent lighting equipment for film and TV work. every major city has at least one good rental house that will have a wall of rolls tomchoose from. a whole roll is around $120, but you can get off cuts or specific lengths for a good price.

I used a 4' x 8" diameter concrete form tube. I cut 36" off of each 2x4 in the form of 9" inch blocks (end up as the discs). That left 60" of 2x4 to rip the strips from. I cut the strips about 1/16' thick. For the spiral just follow the steps in the roll out part of the video. The discs get cut the same diameter as the outside dimension of the concrete form tube. The tubes vary but that's okay. The middle disc can be placed where ever you choose to put it. Just make sure it's level or parallel to the feet and it has 120 degree marks so the spiral pieces line up relative to each other.

I've had a idea for a spiral lamp but couldn't come up with a easy way to get consistent spirals, never thought about using a pipe. My concept differs in one way and that's how the wire is laid out. Before glue up of one set of laminate spirals take that set and clamp it down minus one piece and run a router down the center cutting a space just deep and wide enough to put the cord inside. Then glue that section up and wrap around the pipe minus the one piece left off during routing. Once set up you put the cord in and then glue up that last piece over the cord hiding it then clamp it again to the pipe. Of course you would need to drill the hole for the wire to exit the spiral where you want it in the cover piece before gluing up and have a hole drilled in the pipe at the same point so the wire can be through the hole during final glue up. I'm thinking low stick double sided tape on the tube would make this process much easier to align the cover laminate with the rest. I've not until this video popped up Seen a single spiral lamp, now I've got a much better idea of how to adapt this method to my vision. In fact this just gave me many more ideas in this area to try.

Thanks! Glad you ended up on my video!
Just stumbled upon this video and your channel today and I have to say THANK YOU SIR!!!! Hoping to watch past videos and keep on learning a little bit when I can. . I am starting my channel with the main subject content to be about building custom guitars and amps, but I like to delve into fixing, inventing, and repurposing everything that I can. I will be checking in for inspiration when I can. Thanks again buddy!!! ROCK ON!!!

Thanks man! Glad you like the channel. Good luck on yours.
The word you use at 5:53, wane, wasn't something I'd heard regarding lumber before. Good to learn terms.

Excellent Design and Innovative Execution, love the recycling of the TV filters! How many of those things get tossed away when a TV is scrapped, perhaps a few guys & gals might see this and save them for this purpose. Light Diffusers.

I have to say this is awesome. Great idea and good narration. Thought... You could have run the wire inside one of the spirals, fed it into the tube when you were glueing and removed the need for the copper pipe. Made a couple if the Spiral pieces to allow for a channel inside. That would have hidden everything. The velum idea was great.

Thanks! Yeah I considered hiding the wire in the spirals but it I would have made it much less achievable and more intimidating for anyone attempting the build for the first time.
Wow that was incredible. I have watched hundreds of videos and this is the only one that has ever had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. Very beautiful work.

Some nice wood carved finials would have finished the ends of the spirals at the top of the lamp very nicely. Great Job!
