Pallet Upcycle Challenge 2016, A Dollshouse Lamp, Willem's WoodNotes

Pallet Upcycle Challenge 2016, A Dollshouse Lamp made from a Pallet

It is that time of the year that Sterling Davis hosts the Pallet Upcycle Challenge. A yearly ritual that celebrates the Pallet as a source of project material, yielding brilliant creations by the maker community on Youtube. And i managed to get my entry in, just in time.

A lamp, but not a big one. A lamp for a dollshouse. My wife likes dollshouses and making and furnishing them is her hobby. This project allowed me to join in and make something for her house. A table lamp made from pallet pine.

I sawed a board from the Pallet with my old Bahco handsaw. The old Nooitgedagt handplane had no problems creating the perfect lamp shavings material. I turned the base on the Proxxon micro lathe, using all four of the original proxxon lathe tools. The mini drill is my wife's tool. i used a 0.6 mm drill bit that came in a set from China. The wire is light guage wire ment to make jewelry. fiddly stuff with my big hands. The lamp shade was made of lamp shavings. The knife i used to cut the shaving i made myself from an old broken kitchen knife.

I was wondering how many lamps like that i could actually make from that one pallet.....

I had a lot of help from my daughter who did the editing. (her youtube channel for those who like horse riding computer games: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn_Q.... The video was edited with Wondershare Filmora. She is a wizzard with that one. the video was filmed with my old canon handheld camera Legria fs20.
