Cant really find a topic of the above thus start one.

Any diyer here who like to show/discuss their creation is welcome.

Anything goes ... table, stool, wall fixture, frame art,

I'll start by my latest GI table lamp ...


First pic is direct connection, second pic is hook up to a variable resistor as a conventional dimmer doesnt work on that bulb.

Interesting topic but I think any new project to show off require some time before the end product gets to post. Which is prob you don't see much diy topic here cause the progress too long.

From time to time you see some diy project pop up here but it's not written as diy ...... it's more like home made wooden box etc.

Hmm, it will be great if all those post is accumulated on a tread ...

Here's my latest ... Cement block lamp. KVReninem

Thanks, making is easy ... getting the idea of the concept is the hard part

Am in the process of making another table lamp ... will post here when done.
Gonna take some time as cement do take time to fully cure.

really cool
anticipate ur next lamp

Okay ... its still in touch up process but just fire up to see the effect ...


The gap between the two cement is a tad big at 6cm, I think 4cm will be nicer. What u peeps think ?

Hookes

First vdo, i use a tread n tie on a bottle ... burn the tread till it snap n dip in cold water ... sometime it work sometime not.

Third vdo, I presume you gonna hook up the wire to the car batt terminal, any resistor that is use ?

Ic ... was thinking of wiring it to the car batt but that will hinder the mobility of the device.

Neat wiring u have there.

Some of the Lamp I make sometime ago ...

Hi TS, where can find these Gi Pipe, long time to find these pipe.

U can find it at any hardware store, not all do treading tho ...

Wall mount wine rack ...

this 1 diy?

Yeap ... I use a 6" x 2" x 4' solid wood to make.



The colour look kind of raw initial and I stain it with steel wool soak with tea.

i thought u like, ask for some1 to do it. long tme d i wanna do that. not gonna happen anyway if u dont have the tools

Erm ... yea, you need a drill, drill bit and a core bit for it.

Tricky part is the spacing so that the wine doesnt knock on each other.

Thats all you need, drill is not in d pic.

might aswell pay someone to do it instead buying those stuff.

thanks anyway

Well, depend on individual. For me, its done and on the wall is 10% satisfaction ... the process of doing it is 90%

true. but. not this..

Christmas is just around d corner and here is something u can make to deco a bit ...

Pallet coffee table

TS, are you using copper piping? if yes, where u buy?

Copper piping ... yes. I made this long ago to collect the rain water into the urn.


You can get the copper piping at any hardware store. Just that they might not have all the fittings o the shelve.

Cool.

I'm planning to use do exposed piping for wiring and deco lightbulbs. Just need to know where to get the materials first.

Cement bulb hanger anyone ...

have a lot of wine cork ? can do this ...

Folks, Im thinking of making a furnace ... anybody have made one before ?

Need some pointers here.

This channel has a lot DIY projects, and easy to understand.
As for ur furnace:

Thank you for the link, will surely look it up.


Cheers

I like all your design very much great job
It will be good if u got step by step for this. Because i wan to make one for myself

Having a step by step for each of em is gonna be lengthy ... shot me any question u hav and I will try my best to answer.

Here's one of the experiment I had with plaster "stoping". Its not done yet ... still in the process.

Hi,

If you dont mind, can I know where do you get the Emerson Bulb, correct me if im wrong.

Thanks

Ermm ... which one.

This bulb ?

yup this one, edison bulb, sory for mistaken.

Do you mind to share where you buy it or you buy it online.

Usually, what size do you use for the GI pipe.

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I've got the bulb from vivalec.

Vivalec sdn bhd.
142, Jalan Cerdas, Taman Connaught, Cheras.
03-91012966.

Choice of GI size depends on your application, you can go for any size for free standing.

I use a 6/8" GI for a wall mount book rack and it is darn heavy ... too heavy if u ask me.
Will post when its done.

Never thought I would meet a "maker" here, really sweet! Do you have more?

Here's a wall clock i make a long time ago ...

Wow, nice lamp.
Seem like DIY in this section is more for art stuff.

There are other DIY threads in home reno and serious kopitiam section, those are discussing mostly on house repair and furniture making/repair.

Nice bulb, light looks pinkish, may i know what are these bulbs called and where you got them?


*EDIT: Sorry just read the latest comment where you answered that question

This post has been edited by Aurorasaur: Nov 29 2016, 03:25 PM

The bulb is call Edison bulb, come in a few size. 90mm and 120mm if i remember correctly.

Thanks to out ringgit depreciation the bulb cost 30% more

Ermm ... not really tho. All those that i make have its usage excerpt the cork deco, wanted to make a cork pin board initial but end up framing it with Ikea frame as it fit perfectly and most important Cheap

impressive art !!

Its been sometime I make anything ... will be making a table lamp soon and will post here when it done.

i would prefer to change to dollars. hahaha

very cool and sophisticated! good job! is there anything on the floor?

Thanks!

Currently nothing on the floor. There’s a guide to keep the door from swinging, but I would need to get a proper drill bit since my floor is marble.

Nice, how heavy is the door ?

Without the guide, will the door scrape the wall ?

Not too sure how heavy the door is. Should be at least 30kg.

The hardware can hold up to 175kg

Shouldn’t scrape the wall if you have no skirting, the rail protrudes out a little.

Good to have the guide, keeps the door from swinging. But the guide that comes with the set is plastic. I’ll be replacing it with a more sturdy steel L bracket drilled to my marble flooring.

Here’s a dining table I recently made out of Melunak wood.

Nice

Gosh, I cant imagine the sanding process look like. Nice wood grain there.

I particularly enjoy the sanding part of it lol.

Here’s the bench I made. Similar wood.




Next up, bar table. Hoping to get it done by CNY

Edit: Sorry about the orientation. Not sure why it turned upside down.

I wonder do you use any kind of chem to stop water seepage into the wood. Some will stain the wood and ruined the whole thing.

I applied 3 costs of polyurethane which protects the surface.

very nice table. I like the flooring too. Not many contractors will do this kind of jigsaw puzzle flooring now.

Thank you. This house is actually about 25 years old. Yeah I did a front extension. Wasn’t easy finding broken marbles.

Why not consider terrazzo, It looks nice and yea ... difficult to find peeps to do it too.

Cause my whole living room already had marble from the beginning 😅

wow, you are creative

Made a bar table over the weekend.

Attached thumbnail(s)

I like it, have one that is almost identical but its hang from the ceiling.

Ur woodwork is pretty good.

Is the bracket to the shelve custom made.

I think can consider the invisible bracket because the shelve is thick enuf.

No those are L brackets. Had some extra pieces of wood from the table.

Not sure where to get the floating shelf brackets.

Also made these mini concrete planters:

Oh ... L bracket ... careful of the load on the shelve.

You can fabricate it if you want.




I use the bottom book as a shelve.

This is great, what kind of cement you use. The surface is so fine and smooth.

It will be great if you have a time lapsed image of the process.

Nice !

Do you have a pic of the floating bracket?

Regular cement.

Not much to see anyway if I do a timelapse.

Hi,

I dont have pic of the bracket.

Cool

Made a display frame for my planters. Lights are LED strip.

It look great, I cant help but to wonder what is your profession ... ur work speak for it self.

Totally unrelated haha. Would like to make wood speakers for my next project.

What about you? Any new stuff?

on the bold. Ive been posted away for some time now so only a laptop and some books is with me.

Will be back soon and hopefully I can continue with my GI lamp ... if I wasnt kick out of the country again.

For my 2 year old son ... home minister does help out as you can see I cant draw

It did cross my mind IF I have the wood working skill like you Reubs.
