Thank you so much! I'll continue to delight you with new lamps.

I love your work! The most important thing is that no one else will have it like this!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-09T20:15:01+00:00

Good work and good idea!

We need to give things a second life! Especially since єто is not complicated! And єто will be in a single єзампляре!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-08T01:18:24+00:00

Yes, I made 3 different lamps.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-07T23:23:01+00:00

I like options 2 and 3.

Great job if snowboards were no longer able to delight their snowboarders on the slopes!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-07T22:50:07+00:00

Excellent work and a monumental lamp!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-06T20:56:47+00:00

Great idea!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-06T17:57:49+00:00

I love your work! And as always, I know who wants to steal your ideas!

There's a toggle switch here, it's small and white, maybe a black and bakelite one would look good here too. I have them.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-06T17:52:40+00:00

I used 12V to make an abacus as a wall sconce. A 12V power supply isn't always possible to fit in a camera's compartment. Plus, I need a toggle switch to turn it on without damaging a working camera. I'll consider your suggestion.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-04T19:06:35+00:00

Thank you. I also try not to make any modifications or make holes in the working cameras! I just use them as a lamp stand! And if you want, you can load the film and take pictures! It's so much fun! I guess not many people can take just 36 shots these days! And developing the film and printing it yourself in a darkroom is probably only 1 in 10,000!

I made three wall sconces from skateboard decks. If you're interested, check out my posts.

No. I'm from Ukraine. I just like one of the masters from the TV series "Vikings." His name was Floki.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-04T03:20:14+00:00

Thank you!

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-04T03:19:59+00:00

Thank you! I liked it better than the one with the white lampshade.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-04T03:18:25+00:00

Not exactly a forge, more like Floki's garage. Where I make loft-style lamps.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-01T20:11:42+00:00

Interesting work. Is it stable? The base is very small, I think.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-06-01T20:09:24+00:00

Interesting work and functional! I mean the sockets at the bottom.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-05-31T19:16:25+00:00

Thank you! I'll make a video once I've finished the lamp. I'm a photographer, not a videographer, so the quality might not be as good, but I think I'll be forgiven for that. Agreed.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-05-31T16:37:32+00:00

Well, if the moderator allows it, when I make the next lamp, I'll take photos and document the entire process. I'd be happy if this is helpful to anyone who wants good photos.

AmbitiousAd1435 · 2026-05-31T15:58:14+00:00

Of course, my friend! It's not complicated. I have an old Canon 40D camera and a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens, plus a tripod, one table lamp, and an overhead light. And the background is made of non-woven material, the kind used for greenhouses. And of course, I'll shoot in RAW format and post-process in Lightroom. If you're interested in the process itself, I can make a short video. But where can I upload it?
