We Shout! Hi guys. It’s been more than a year since I came up with the idea and almost exactly a year since I started building these lovely lamps. Tonight I finished the boring stuff, fitting, adjusting, securing and some minor paint touch ups. I put them in my dads workshop where I have spent almost all the time building them. Thanks dad for lending me tools and stuff, and thanks to everyone else for the encouragement.
Hi, a couple of days ago I had a little accident in the workshop. One of the acrylic pieces shattered and I needed a new one. Sadly I didn’t have any more material so I asked if my dad could get some more for me. Today when I met him, he told me that he had got a piece from his friend, the electrician Dick. He said it was used but that it was usable if I cleaned it from its original print. To my great surprise, that very print was the logo of ABF Göteborg. ABF is a study group organization where me, Emil and Linus all started playing music a long time ago. Its where we formed our first bands and made our first records. So once again, thank you ABF.
The missing piece from the sign above became the N below:
Hi, I’ve been quiet for a while now. The fall of 2009 wrecked all lamp making ambitions but with the release coming up I have continued my work. I have from the start aimed for a LED-based way of making the lamps shine but after numerous attempts I have yet to succeed. While energy saving and easy to manage due to small voltages, the LEDs never quite gave me enough power to make a stage light. I know there are solutions to this problem since there are commercially available LED stage lights but the parts involved are far to expensive for this project. So, I have after much concideration decided to make the lamps shine from regular bulbs. I know this isn’t exactly environment friendly but there are several reasons for my decision. 1. Power - Ordinary light bulbs give a lot more light for a smaller pile of money 2. Speed - Since light bulbs operate at wall socket voltage I don’t need a transformer for the lamps which would have made the lamps fade out rather than just die immediately. 3. Labour - I would need a lot more LEDs than light bulbs to light up the lamps which would mean a lot more work Anyway, I hope you join us the 29th of January for the spectacular release of our first album. /Freppi Hi, I just realized that it’s been like a month since I last wrote something here. And it isn’t like I haven’t done anything, I’ve been working and complaining about it as usual, I just haven’t written. Anyway…last time I posted a a picture of acrylic glass pieces and they look pretty much the same today. What I’ve been working on this time is the finish. The smoothness of the frames. Take a look: When you want to fill holes, in some cases, you need this: So you try to fill the holes the best you can and end up with this: When you want to smooth something out you need a bunch of these: When you’re done with the first to and start with the yellow stuff it kind of look like this: When your about semi happy with the smoothness you move on to this: And end up with: |
