Hi lovely makers, I've been sick this week and I don't think I'll be right again by Friday. I've refunded everyone and will hopefully reschedule at the end of February. Sorry! Regards, Bil

About
Make your own lamp from a block of wood, an upcycled glass jar and a strip of LEDs. Paint the inside of the jam jar to cast a more interesting shade. The final device will be powered by a regular phone charger cable. Jar, wood, screws, cable, etc. included, but feel free to bring your own favourite, clean glass jar and USB cable. USB adapter plug to stick into a power socket not included. The light will consume about 2W of energy.
Skills:
Skills:
- Simple woodwork (using a rasp, a plane, a drill and a chisel)
- Very simple electronics (just 4 solder joints)
- Paint the inside or outside of the jar to decorate it. Alternatively cut paper to mask the light.
No experience necessary. Wear clothes you don't might getting sawdust on.
