This in the F...ING COOLEST LAMP IN THIS UNIVERSE EVER! Man i must say im sooooooo impressed and the manual control makes it even cooler! Thumbs up my friend! 😎🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks! The manual controls worked alright. I've seen them with both directions stacked on top of each other so it's a bit more natural to control, but having them individually works too. Maybe if I had more arms!
You've spent a lot of time making your workshop cool. I enjoy your creativity. Thanks for taking the time and spending money to make this video. Your talents are appreciated.
This may be my favorite project of yours so far. It looks so cool! Have to admit I was a bit nervous when you started cranking on the controls, really hoped you had glued that globe on. 😄 Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. For me, it only needs a kind of cover for the tentacle to look more tentacle-y. Maybe some green shiny fabric, or purple? Oh! Oh! And we can put a googly eye on the lightbulb! OH MAN NOW I WANT MY OWN TENTACLE LAMP
I liked the mechanical look of this since it was so big. I think if I made a smaller one I'd put some sort of covering over it. I did definitely think about putting an eyelid over the bulb at the end. Maybe next time!
@@TheMakerMonster I think it looks good as it is. The eyelid idea would not only be great aestetically, but also could serve as some sort of cowl to limit the amount of light :)
The only thing that could have made this any cooler is if you'd covered it in yellow fabric and made the light a chicken head with the light in the open mouth!!!! Great work MM!👍😁
That's definitely true. I've seen controls where the two pulleys were stacked so one "joystick" did both up/down and left/right, but making them individually worked just fine too. Would have been easier to control with another person though. Or if I had more arms
Imagine how cool this lamp would look hanging from a ceiling! With those hand controllers on the wall so it can be played with. I love how this turned out!
Such an excellent fun thing!!! I need to make something with tentacles now. NEED! YAY!!! (Maybe high-tension fishing line will give you less friction and reduce the strain on the servos? I've used it for animatronics in the past and it was great!! You'll want to pre-stretch it first though.)
Outstanding!!! 😃 I can totally see this covered in purple fur and mounted on your wall! . I had an idea I wanna run past you too. For your table-router - you could paint the board that goes over the eyes with a picture of safety goggles! 😄 🤓
@@TheMakerMonster no problem! Have you looked into larger servos? I worked at a hobby shop growing up and have seen some servos that would be up to the task of moving the tentacle around!
Looks very much like the rigs ILM used for a lot of puppetry and you did an amazing job. I've seen others attempt this and not got nearly such a smooth result. The servos were a little ambitious and I'm willing to bet you knew there was a good chance of them just burning out but if pull handles are good enough for the like of Lucas and Henson then it can't be too bad.
Hey! You definitely are an impressive maker! I really like the "Maker Monster" idea with not having to show your whole face but being seen! very genius! This lamp is genius, too! Definitely the tentacle is something I want to rebuild one day! You deserve more subscribers!
I love plywood, I love this. Haven't done automata for years and you've really inspired me. What are the little threaded sleeves that fit the hex key bolts called? Be interesting to see if you could set up pressure plates or movement sensors in a room that the lamp responded to. Poor little servo motors. Maybe windscreen wiper motors for some grunt? But good call, finished is way better than permanently delayed. Crafsman sent me here, I'm happy he did!
This is so many kinds of awesome! I don't know about heads, but you definitely made tails of this. Or a christmas tree at some point. While it looks like a fun build, you have a great and really distracting menagerie in your shop. Which is also a good thing! The only thing the lamp needs now is a Sauron/Fiery eye paint job Thanks for sharing!
Love the work! , Do you have any informations, how to calculate the distance between discs, radius of each one and the cable thickness? If so plz share with me, It will be a massive help for my final year project.🙂🙂😍
Important philosophical question: is it possible to have too many lamps? Side note: my child thinks you should do a (quote) "lamp-ception! Lamp in a lamp in a lamp in a lamp"
@@TheMakerMonster Oh here's another thought. You can probably do 2 instead of 4. Set it up so that the two opposite side go on the same wheel, and when you tighten one side, the other relaxes.
That’s actually how it was set up. I didn’t really explain/talk about it but I tried to get fancy and make a two-stage tentacle. So basically the top section could move indecently of the bottom. That’s how I could get the cool ‘S’ shapes and stuff
That's how it was on the RC controller. One joystick controlled each of the segments. There were two stages so the top part could move independently of the bottom. So I could make those 'S' shapes instead of it all going in one direction. I've seen hand controllers where it was basically two pulleys, one on top of the other, perpendicular to each other, so it was basically one handle that did both up/down and left/right. But making individual ones was way easier. Did make the "performance" part a lot harder though.
4:30 to 4:45 is what every girl´s first 15 seconds in a male body would be like😁 Also, the manual remote tentacle lamp is amazing, and should be operated together with a friend for the full tentacle lamp experience😀
This dudes cinematography on another level
I would argue that the hand controls are way more satisfying than the RC controls.

@@TheMakerMonster YES please more arms!
Gaaaaah, I love it! Positionable tentacle lamp!!
I think I need one of those "Just What I Need" boxes.
It comes in handy every now and then!
just found the channel. Man, the dedication to the THEME. Wow. Router Table and Bandsaw, what a trip
You've spent a lot of time making your workshop cool. I enjoy your creativity. Thanks for taking the time and spending money to make this video. Your talents are appreciated.
What a wild creation. Fantastic original concept!
Awesome!!! Everything is cooler when it's a lamp!
100% true statement!
Dang Jake.
DUDE.
I worship you.
😳
@@TheMakerMonster don't be scared.
YOR TOOLS!!!! My new favorite channel.
I am so glad I found your channel. Neat idea, now I have to look all of your other stuff.
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it!
This is awesome! We loved watching this one! My son keeps asking me now if we can get all of these tools and equipment!
So awesome!!!
Thanks, Michael!
Best project ever!
Thanks, Mike!
Good enough Maker Monster, good enough!! 👍👍
Good enough is a worthy target!
This is my first time watching the channel and I was NOT ready for the face
This lamp has so much puppetry potential! Excellent work!
So awesome! Good problem solving and save! Great stuff man!
Thanks, man! There was definitely a moment of “well now what am I going to do?” but it all seemed to work out!
Haha I feel like I have that moment at some point of every project I do. It totally worked out, so cool!
This may be my favorite project of yours so far. It looks so cool! Have to admit I was a bit nervous when you started cranking on the controls, really hoped you had glued that globe on. 😄 Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha. Yeah, I glued it on before flinging it around! Thanks!
Dude you’re amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing! So much fun in all your videos. Way to be amazing
Thanks, dude! I appreciate it!
Just brilliant. This is why we love the Maker Monster. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! I'm glad you're liking the videos!
Sooo worth the wait! EVERY home needs a tentacle lamp!
I stand by that statement
So frigg'n cool, personally like the analog version, though nothing stopping you from revisiting and adding steppers / servos to it later :)
Thats true! I’m thinking a smaller, desktop version would be fun
Awesome. For me, it only needs a kind of cover for the tentacle to look more tentacle-y. Maybe some green shiny fabric, or purple? Oh! Oh! And we can put a googly eye on the lightbulb!

hey, i like your last name 👍
I was thinking that a wall covered in small versions would be really cool looking
The only thing that could have made this any cooler is if you'd covered it in yellow fabric and made the light a chicken head with the light in the open mouth!!!! Great work MM!👍😁
Haha! I thought about making some blinking eyelids on top
"I think we all know there is one way to make this a little bit cooler...."
*PURPLE FUR! PURPLE FUR!*
"A Lamp!"
.

Oh.... yeah, that's cool, too!
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about it 😆
Brilliant I love it and the hand controls make it more tactile.
That's definitely true. I've seen controls where the two pulleys were stacked so one "joystick" did both up/down and left/right, but making them individually worked just fine too. Would have been easier to control with another person though. Or if I had more arms
I can’t decide which monster tool I like best, but I think it may be the router.
What a cool project! Well done!
p.s. perfect is boring and this is NOT a boring moving tentacle-lamp!
Definitely agree. I’ve spent enough time in life trying to make something “perfect” only to end up getting rid of what was fun about it.
My wife loves you!
Excuse me while I make a face mask for my router table, so that I can make the pulleys for my moving tentacle lamp.
I love you.
❤️❤️
(I couldn’t bring myself to take the eyes off so I found a way around them. Haha)
Imagine how cool this lamp would look hanging from a ceiling! With those hand controllers on the wall so it can be played with. I love how this turned out!
That would be fun!
That’s is so amazing! Love it. I think the hand controls are more fun too.
They were a bit harder to control by myself, but they’re definitely way more tactile

I’d probably use that for a smaller one. I think this was just a lot of weight and friction and things just not being 100% aligned
Great Job Mr Maker Monster
Thanks, Mr. Malden!
Making a tentacle is pretty darn cool by itself but now you also have a lamp you can place in any position. Brilliant blend of form and function.
I think building one into the center of a table would be pretty cool. Or two on either end of a work bench
@@TheMakerMonster The one drawback might be that it would be so much fun to play with them you'd never get anything done!
This is awesome!!! I love it. One of my favorite Monster Makes so far! Great work.
Hey thanks!
Outstanding!!! 😃
I can totally see this covered in purple fur and mounted on your wall!
.
I had an idea I wanna run past you too.
For your table-router - you could paint the board that goes over the eyes with a picture of safety goggles! 😄 🤓
I half expected him to run LED lights through the tentacle and give it a translucent skin as the lamp.
@@merlynhall2498 that would work too. Just depends what look you want to go with.
I was thinking more a luchador wrestling mask hahaha
@@TheMakerMonster even better! 😄
Super cool on how that all worked out! 👍👍
Thanks, man!
@@TheMakerMonster no problem! Have you looked into larger servos? I worked at a hobby shop growing up and have seen some servos that would be up to the task of moving the tentacle around!
Yeah I looked up some bigger ones after those two died. Maybe one day I’ll invest the money in a couple and try it again!
Good enough, is good enough.
Also this was brilliant and I want it.
❤❤❤
Great job! Actually, I like the hand controls better!
They definitely made it more tactile. Made controlling it myself a bit more challenging though
That is so super cool!!
Thanks, Rob!
Fantastic as always. Thank you for another vid to watch with the kids
Thank you!
Cool jigs in this project! Awesome work.
Thanks, Becky! I was pretty happy with how the pulleys turned out!
It's superb! Love the happy laughs too
Really cool! 👍👍👍
Thanks, man!
Flippin' genius man! Definitely cool as a lamp! - Jim

Yeah, I think it was just a little bit too heavy for them. I’ll just have to make a smaller one sometime!
@@TheMakerMonster Could put your sewing skills to work and skin the smaller one in some 'monster' fabric or have some fun mixing latex.
I'm sad no rubber chickens were harmed in the making of this awesome tentacle lamp.
I’m sure I could have found a way 🤔
I was dubious when I saw the thumbnail but this is an amazing project and really well executed. Personally I think the hand controls are even cooler
aaaand now I'm going to have to work out to away to make one of these. Thank you for being so utterly fabulous!
I‘d to try making a bunch of tiny ones at some point. I think a wall covered in those would be fun
Thank you dad and I love your vids
That's awesome! I'm glad you like them!

Dude! 👌

looks like E.T. grew some facial hair lol

Probs! I'm thinking ill try making a smaller, lighter one at some point and that should help too

Looks awesome! Also slightly creepy in the dark. When are you going to start selling "exactly what I need" kits?
Oh man if I could manufacture those I’d never have to work again!
does anyone know what the tubing was that he used for the central lamp support?
It's a hydraulic hose with the end chopped off. Sturdy enough to support everything, but flexible enough to bend and twist.
Everyone else: this is a cool lamp
Me: this guy is ugly
I want your mask
