The Kumiko lamp is finally finished. It took the longest time to wait for the arrival of the power cable, light and light socket (e14). I like it so much that I will probably make it again for myself, haha.

This is amazing, I’d like one too please!
The anxiety I feel when I see some people already having Christmas presents ready is immense.

How big is this? I need something like a fruit or a cat for scale. Btw it looks very nice, love the style
One little square is about 1x1cm. The whole thing measures about 12x12x35cm.

I’m also very confused by the scale. Looks about 8" tall maybe?
I uploaded five pictures in total, but somehow they don’t load for me. Can you see them? I also cannot edit the post details.
Anyways, here they are again:
And some progress pics

What the hell are those clamps? Did you make them yourself? I’ve never seen anything like them. I probably won’t buy or build them, but they do look cool!
Those are Hatagane, japanese bar clamps. I use them for such small things where regular clamps would be too bulky and too heavy.

They are beautiful in themselves, with a kind of delicacy of form. I’ve tracked down places to purchase them. They’re not as expensive as I imagined, so I’ve added them to my Xmas and birthday lists. :)
Thanks.

Incredible results, and I really love seeing the progress pictures! Thank you for sharing!
Is there any advice you would give to someone following your footsteps here?
Thanks :) I briefly mentioned this in another comment: Measure thrice and plan in some slack. I measured thrice but didn’t plan in slack. Thus the frames where the littlest too large to fit into their places (~0.5mm) When forced in, the joints of the frame jumped open a little bit.

What’s the name for that type of long lightbulb?
- mayo ( @mayo@lemmy.today ) 2•1 year ago
You can find them by looking for ‘edison’ bulbs. Any of those distinct visible coil bulbs are edison, vintage look.
