NIce job! Love the look of it.
Well done good lad. One of the few videos on this topic where things are explained well, and you included a lot of helpful tips from your experience.
Hope to find more on the topic on your channel here, keep them coming.
Thanks JP! There will be more!
Fantastic job 👍 glad to have found your channel!
Thank you!
Very cool lamp and good tutorial too.💯
Thanks, Julia! I appreciate the feedback!
I coincidentally got the exact same valve and switch when I made mine, I did modify my switch to be able to fit in an 3/4 tee, nice job!
Nice! And thank you!
looks great. great job bro...
Very good idea mate well done 👍👍
Thanks, Denis!
Wow, I really like this.
Thank you!
Cool build, man👍
Thanks for checking it out!
Parabéns pelo trabalho. (Excellent job!) Congratulations.
Thanks, Rodrigo!
If you give the T at the top o the lamp a 90 degree turn forward or backward youll have all the room you need to rplace the bulb-then just turn it back....a safety feature for little one sticking their ands where they don't belong!
Good Stuff!
Thanks, Janet! That's a good point, it's an annoyance for me but an unintended safety feature. I don't have little ones of my own but I will keep that in mind!
nice work ... and looks great w/o the paint.
Thank you, Mark!
This is so cool
Thank you!
Very cool lamp. I built a steam punk rocket lamp
i d't know the cold hot water move. It's a sage old man advice? It's like a granpa trick:) awesome video .Good job
It's just basic science and an old concept. Thanks for checking out my video!
Now thats kool!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
You know those fittings you screwed in? Well they can also unscrew enough to tilt the bottle so you can add the bulb and then re-tighten however, if you're O.C.D you'll be better suited to take measurements and add the appropriate length extending the bottle freeing up access while also making the entire light symmetrical!
You're not wrong. I do need to use large pipe wrenches to unscrew those fittings even that small amount; they are wrenched down real tight!
I turned the vertical section on the right so the bottle is more accessible but isn't noticeable from the front. As far as putting in a new piece, I don't have O.C.D., but it would just make the lamp more to what I originally intended it to be and make the bulb more accessible.
Thanks uploader you again from the historical floods lol
You could have pulled the bottle forward or backward to insert light. It doesn’t have to go left/right to insert.
Yeah, that's true. That fact hasn't been lost on me!
Nice!

Hola! Thank you!
Love the wine bottle idea. I think I might use that man.
Great job, I also did one on my channel If you ever want to have a look.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I can't say the wine bottle is an original idea but it was fun to do. By all means give it a try.
it's great
Thank you!
Would have love to see how the switch worked internally
I think a bunch of people would like to have seen that, too. I'll most likely use the same switch setup in another lamp in the future; I'll film that one and show it working.
very nice! instead of a plug on the lower T, an antique or aircraft style voltmeter would be a perfect addition!
Thank you!
I'm not sure I understand; do you mean an old fashioned toggle switch, like the ones used on WW2 era aircraft? I have thought of doing something similar, possibly on a future lamp build.
Здарово Андрей! 😊 Офигенная лампа!
There are more bottles to come!
Might need a few for future video's.
Your favorite part of the build, splitting the wine bottle? Don't you mean emptying the wine bottle? Haha
I enjoyed the video, thank you!
You're welcome!
I quit drinking.
@@themaestro5946 I applaud you for doing so! I've never been a drinker, personally; just the occasional glass of wine for a special event.
Thanks for the video..I'm planning to do something similar. About your bulb changing problem...Couldn't you just twist the upright joints, bringing the bottle forward temporarily to change the bulb...and then twist it back into position?
Your welcome!
I've had a few comments about twisting the various joins to change the bulb. It's not difficult to do, it's just annoying due to the fact that those joins are VERY tight! It does solve the problem, though.
Полиэтилен на живот намотаю и пойду делать светильник будет клёва классно
If this was in the UK it would not be legal to sell as there is no earth, if I was making it I would use three core cable with earth wire! And you should too, but it looks good just earth it, please, and make more.
I appreciate the comment, Bob. You're not wrong about needing a ground (earth wire) over in the UK. My lamp build videos and the methods I use aren't meant to be copied down to the exact detail. I enjoy showing how and what I do but there is nothing that says other folks looking to build a lamp can't change details to their own liking. That includes adding the ground (earth wire).
I'll definitely consider earthing for a future lamp build... the current one wont be because it's already past the wiring stage but perhaps the next one!
Love this video! I’ll be watching your others next. About How much did it cost you to make it?
Thanks so much!
Prices for the different parts will vary but it cost somewhere around $200 at the time of the build; that's not including items such as power tools.
Can we have the details of the materials with dimensions. It would be immensely helpful. Thanks
I updated the description with the materials list. If I missed something, please let me know.
Can you please put links up so I can know where to buy . I’ve never done this so I really would appreciate it thanks in advance .
The reason I don't have any links to the products I used is simply because I bought the majority of them at local stores, i.e. my local hardware store, Home Depot and Lowes; mostly from Home Depot. The only items I did not buy in person was the lamp cord (18/2 gauge), the switch, the light socket, and the wall plug. I bought those off of Amazon because that's where they were easily available. There is a list of parts in the description of the video; that should help you match what I used, if you search for them. By the way, the light socket that I used was a regular-size E26. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
When you put an elbow and a tee on a nipple, how do you make then point the same direction? I've tightened mine and they point to different (random) directions. And if I point them the same direction then at least one of them is not tightened and the whole construction is loose.
Mainly I tightened some of them extremely tight! For a few of the pieces I made sure the threads were very clean, so there was nothing to bind them up and prevent them from turning, and then added some grease/oil to make it easier to tighten them as much as I needed. Apart from that, it just comes down to brute force. You might try using wrenches with longer handles; the longer the handle the more leverage you have and the easier it will be to tighten the difficult pieces.
Awesome.....what is the size and length of threaded rod for socket?
1/8" IP threaded rod (6 inch long). It's listed in the description, toward the end.
What was your estimate cost in material? Thank you.
I seem to recall spending somewhere around $150-200. I can't remember exactly. Prices will vary, depending on where items are purchased.
Thank you

If you take that rubber sheeting, fold it over itself, you can loosen the pipe without marring the metal or the paint. Just be sure to use a really heavy duty paint like an enamel or what have you.
Great video! Maybe I missed it in the video and it doesn't seem to be in your list of parts is the size of the vinyl tubing.
Yup! I overlooked adding the tubing to the parts list! It's 3/8 inch I.D. vinyl tubing; I bought mine at Home Depot. Sorry about that. Thanks for bringing mentioning it!
@@AndrewPOlson thank you!
How do you tighten them all the way in and still keep them at a 90 degree angle? Mine have their own idea on how they wanna sit, ughh!
The longer the wrench handles are, the more leverage you have and the easier it will be to turn the fittings and make adjustments. Also, I put a little bit of grease on the threads to make it easier to tighten and to loosen the fittings in the future, if I need to take the lamp apart. Looking at my lamp from a side angle, the 90's aren't perfect, either, but no one would ever know since it looks perfect from the front, which is the only way it appears in my videos!
I never said it would be easy but you can do it!
I noticed the nipple on yours are conical. Mine are not, and they're bronze. I still need some parts to complete it but I put some Teflon tape to secure them. The joints appear to be solid. Thank you!
@@p3sv You're welcome!
Looks good. But there wood Bee too Hot inside the bottle, and bulp can break down too often.
This type of bulp is expensive.
Am i wrong?
I understand your concern.
I'm using an LED bulb so the heat isn't too bad. Even if I had a regular incandescent bulb I don't think it would matter; the bottle is open so there is some airflow. The bulb is expensive but it doesn't get hot enough to damage it. If there was enough heat to ruin the bulb, the label would peel off of the bottle, long before the bulb would fail.
@@AndrewPOlson Thanks for answer. I havent found such Led lamp in my country.
So go aheed! Keep doing what y doing.
This is interesting but I'm looking for the iron dome lamp which caused because of the tec? UK national riots why was he killed again? Because of a gun that was placed at the scene of the crime? Ile find it eventually 😭
Where did you get the brass switch?
I found it on Amazon. It's a Gardner Bender GSW-61 switch.
How does the plastic tubing activate the switch?
The tubing pressure fits over the switch, when the blue water-valve handle is turned it also turns the switch because the tubing is connected to both. The tubing is the bridge between the two.
@@AndrewPOlson Thanks Andrew, somehow I missed the part about the switch being rotational. Appreciate your fast response.
@@edhiestand1197 Any time, Ed. I'm happy I could help.
@@AndrewPOlson Great job but does the blue valve haev some stoppers.If someone turn it too agressive it would break at the glued part?
@@Bahanov No, there are no stoppers. I wondered the same thing before I made one but having done so I don't think it will break at the part that is glued; just be sure the epoxy is dry.
Admittedly, it's not the best way to attach the valve stem to the switch but I don't have the machines needed to make custom parts so I went with this method and it works.
I'm not rough with mine and it seems to be holding up. I recommend being gentle with it; treat it right and it'll treat you right.
I hope this helps.
Mask the parts , and paint, soldering 2 times not necessary, think one time more.

Where’s the earthing??? This is seriously dangerous 😳
Do you mean for the electrical cord or the iron pipe?
I did use the clear tubing to prevent the cord from getting damaged by the pipe threads, to prevent damage/electrical short.
If it's wired correctly there wont be a problem. There are many lamps and lamp video's on the internet that do the same thing as I did. Lamps produced for retail sale are not required to have a ground (earth) wire in the cord, here in the USA.
Браво браво многу мудро респект
I suggested you use union coupling
For easy maintenance ⛑
That's a great idea! It didn't occur to me to use one when I was building it. Thanks, for the suggestion!
Great ideas lamp 💡
Thanks for sharing how to clean cut the bottles 🍾
Thumb 👍 bro.
@@zulhairi4784 Check out my newest lamp build, the Half-Gallon Lamp, if you haven't already. I use a different method for the bottle/jug.
