Guys you are complete legends I love what you do and can’t get enough of it. I love this kind of stuff and I have since I was around 8 and now I am 16 still loving the same thing. You guys are like a series that I can’t for the next episode. I am working on a modern desk lamp that can fold up, be charged therefore it’s wireless and when folded up it will look like a briefcase. It’s just I have been designing this for so long and it’s a lot of work. So I can’t imagine how incredible you guys are for doing what you do. You are amazing people living legends. Thank you.

You could change the channel name to “ I don’t like to plan stuff” 😂 this turned out great, I built in some sconces to our nightstands to get stuff off the top. This is a similar idea. I feel like it keeps the charger from moving around too which is awesome.

Yeah, that has actually been a really nice side effect, not having to chase the charger around the table to get it to charge correctly 👍🏼

If you add an NFC sticker you can creat a spot on the lamp that when you put your phone next to open the app for the lamp via shortcuts. Or maybe sets a timer that will turn it of after a desired amount of time.

@Shadow Fexz would be really cool if it was red for low battery while charging, yellow for medium battery power then green for high battery power and fully charged. Red could be 0-39, yellow could be 40-79, green could be 80-100

Hey Bob, To be honest...I've learned so much over the years, from watching your channel that I decided to start my own. I've only got one simple project on it so far, but I'm just about to head back into the shed to keep working on the second. Would love any feedback you have. Thank you for the inspiration. The only thing I wish is that I'd started sooner. You're the best mate. In this project, you've spoken about LED lighting which i'm really going to have to get into soon as i need to build some lights to get better video of what I'm making. If you've ever thought about making some big over head lights, I could really use some help!!!

You know, sometimes it's refreshing in this age of making to just avoid all of the planning tech/software and just have fun exploring and allowing the material to tell you what it wants to be.

Bob is cool,be like bob

I would of put a more "pleasing to the eye" switch, maybe a brass toggle switch with an orange light up tip so it can be spotted in the dark

Every time you use your router, it helps get me one step closer to using the one I got as a gift. I have never used one and your tips and advice are giving me more confidence to start a project that needs it. Great video and awesome project!

The lamp looks fantastic! I've been wanting to get a better way to charge my phone and watch as well, as they just sit on my night stand next to my lamp. This is SUPER inspiring, and I think I may crack open Fusion 360 today after lunch. Thanks, Bob and team!

the LED reading lamp part fading on and off, rather than simply snapping on is a nice (but subtle) touch.

I'm going nuts with this design!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really love projects like this, definitely something that could be achieved without a massive amount of tools. Also very grateful for your equipment lists, they're massively helpful for me to plan my future workspace! Thanks Bob!

WLED would be a great piece of software for this for those people who don't want to code it themselves. You can flash it directly onto the ESP module and it can emulate as a HUE RGB light so you can add it to Alexa or Google Home and be able to control the brightness, color, and on off.

I've use WLED for lights on our porch, eaves (Christmas lights) and for our Christmas tree, and it works really well. The one thing I miss is Google integration, but I'm still looking into how I can do that via an MQTT server. (I have one on my NAS, but I need to hook it to Google somehow still.)

For the frost glass you could also use the panels found inside of old monitors. They are fantastic at diffusing light (well, they were made for exactly that purpose...)

You must make a large and functional RV, with amenities for the whole family and a place to carry all the wireless tools. You are the man for that job.

I was not expecting it to be that cool. Now I wanna make one.

It’s a masterpiece as the rest of stuff Bod does. Keep it up man!

the making of the base of this reminded me a lot of your guitar building video the way you had to create a few spots for electronics and wiring was very reminiscent of the hollow body guitar build it's super interesting to me to find similar skills utilized between seemingly completely unrelated projects it shows you how much the basics in a skill like woodworking can be utilized to create such a wide variety of things I would never assume that someone that builds really nice lamps would also be able to also build high quality guitars but clearly there is a lot of overlap with the skills required for each specialty woodworking is really versatile and awesome

Really liked the way this turned out. well done.

Nice. Stylish and functional.

Wow I really like your design beautiful workmanship!

Great project! You could also use router from the bottom side and left thin layer of wood at the top - instead of using leather :)

Wow, absolutely incredible 😲

I would definitely adjust the RGB LEDs to match the same color temperature of the light bulb. Great build overall!

That a good idea, simple and beautiful

So cool!

Excellent!

Thats really cool with the LED light bellow and a regular light above!

The color that wood came out under the light looks so great I'm over here daring myself to try this. I was all down until the LED coding. But, I guess there's another thing to learn yet, and maybe a cider friend can help

hoooo.. what an innovation.. amazing!!

I've watched your videos for awhile now. I'm a carpenter by trade and love woodworking just dont have the space for a shop. What you do by incorporation arduino and other technologies into the projects is a lot different than other youtubers. Its inspiring. Keep it up man.

I love these kind of projects 😎

Love it! You can also hit the acrylic with an acetone rub for a more even cloudy look. ^_^

Neat idea, I've thought about making a full endtable/nightstand that could charge up a phone/multiple phones, just don't have the materials, tools, or know-how to make it.

Just the variety of things you do alone is amazing. Getting me through the lockdown here in the UK, you definitely have a new fan in me thank guys and stay safe. Keep it up!

Very cool!

the fact that you were able to use a wireless charger without ripping it apart of finding out how they work and then recreating a bigger version made this project so much more feasible for me I am super confident building things with enough structural integrity to support whatever I plan for, I learned to build to hold up my bed and fish tanks, but the idea of wiring and electronics almost makes me throw up, so this was the perfect middle point for someone like me

I've been planning to do something similar to this, my iteration involves the lamp being built into the night stand, fully Alexa controlled, however after watching this, I've just thought of adding an Alarm Clock screen to it. Maybe a flip out one. Also been listening to your podcast with David & Jimmy, I'm only up to Episode 113, so a long way to go to catch up.

5 months ago, I made that exact lamp. The entire design was the same as yours: all the bevels, the curves, everything. Except the neck of my lamp was made of acrylic. I even added the phone charger.

Love the automation videos. If I were to make this myself, a few things I would do differently are: - Add a thin hard but conductive material between the leather and the charger to improve the aesthetic. - Add a small limit switch below the charger and program the Arduino to make the lights fade in / out red for 10 seconds to indicate charging. Obviously, for the last one the limit switch it would only assume that the charger is charging. Though I suppose if you could find a really small relay you could tie the limit switch into arduino, then arduino into the signal end of the relay to turn the charger on / off based on whether something is present.

i like this project. Has an art deco feel to it.

A cool bonus is to add a relais in the base to add WiFi to the bulb as well 😉

Good job man and well executed... I would love to see you make a dice tower..that would be awesome.

The hubs and I love watching your channel. He says there is a new Bob video and we are on it. Thanks for the awesome channel! We enjoy wood working together as much as we enjoy your videos!

Nice build! Love the meld of wood and electronics! I just discovered the Arduino project board myself and made a cool Hot Wheels Drag Race track timer!

Looks fantastic. One small thing which idk if it matters since it’s a bedside lamp/charger, but the distance between the coil of the charger and the coil in the phone can significantly affect the charge speed. You could’ve tried taking apart the charging pad and put the coil right under the leather to improve charge speeds. Doesn’t matter much if you’re only using it to charge at night, but could be a useful modification.

awesome as always...
