How to make a DIY dinosaur lamp with LED strip

 


























Tools and materials I propose:

Circular saw

Circular saw guide rail

Belt sander

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Cordless drill

Forstner bit set

Led Strip RGB Light

Bandsaw

Chisel set

Router

Router bits

Hot glue gun

Airbrush kit

Jigsaw


In this video I make a dinosaur shaped LED lamp out of plywood.


I begun by designing a vector template of my dinosaur. I then printed it on actual size and glued it on a piece of plywood with spray adhesive. 


I cut my plywood to more manageable pieces with my circular saw. I then cut around my template on the bandsaw. I couldn’t reach a few spots on my small bandsaw so I used the jigsaw to finish the job. 


I then sanded the piece on the belt sander. I don’t have a spindle sander so I made an arrangement to use the lathe as a spindle sander. 


I then cut another piece on the bandsaw. This acts as spacer and also provides the space for the LED Strip.


I then glued and nailed the back piece in place. 


I drilled the hole for the eyeball with a forstner bit and turned the eye on the lathe. 


Using the router I added a roundover on my edges. 


I added a coat of sanding sealer and then used my airbrush to spray paint the piece. I used latex paints. I thinned them really well with water so the airbrush could spray them. 


I protected the paint job with clear water based varnish. 


I then hot glued my LED strip in place. 


And that was it. My little dino lamp was ready. I hope you liked this project, because that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
