I’m taking a little time off for the Christmas\/New Years break and decided \u00a0to give myself a goal: One laser cutting project each day. Today, Friday 12\/23\/2016, is day one and here is the first project.<\/p>\n

I started planning\u00a0this specific project last night, the idea of doing a lamp started about a week ago. I actually order some lights on Tuesday. This first project is a lamp inspired by the Thomas Wayne Batman. Back on September 10th I did a plaque, which is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

So last night I decided to make a lamp based on the same design. It took a couple hours this morning to figured it all out and create the design on the computer. The biggest challenge was figuring out how to get the two-dimensional pieces to all fit together into a three- dimensional lamp – that and incorporating the light and the light fixture into the design. Design done I did a quick run to two different hardware stores, came back and updated the design to work with the lamp pieces I bought, did some test cuts, and them cut everything out.<\/p>\n

I like the final results. What do you think?<\/p>\n

The bulb is an LED replica of an antique Edison style Edison lamp. I’m planing on using these lamps in some other designs. You can really tell by looking at this photo, but it does have a different feel than other LED bulbs.<\/p>\n
