Excellent demo! Thanks for no crappy music and detailed explanation. Also love that you try to avoid using massive tools. Nothing more annoying then going on a DIY video and then finding out that you only need a mini factory to do it.
Thank you :D
Right?!?! Because everyone has a huge drill press and fancy lathe’s just sitting around lol.
I glad you liked it and appreciate the feedback 🤙🏼
your video is thorough, i went to sleep watching it in kroger parking lot..lol
Nicely done! I've watched other how- too videos on this subject, but yours makes more sense than any, especially for the application I have in mind. Good production and good delivery. Thank you sir.
Thank you
Thanks for this video. I've been thinking about making one of these contraptions, and your video showed me that this project is just a little beyond my level right now. I appreciate your comment about trying to focus on projects that require only basic tools. With the grider and the JB weld plus the necessary parts, it's a little out of my budget too. Thanks for saving me the headache!
I’m happy you found it helpful. Hopefully you have a chance at some point, fun little project
Very good instruction on the switch. Thanks much!
Awesome 👍🏼 Also great hearing someone found it helpful
Nice alternative to the other styles. Great presentation, thanks
+John Berry thank you
I've making pipe lamps for about two years, great explanation of how to make a simple valve switch. Instead of using a dremmell, you can also use acetone to take off the excess plastic. If you want to try an another unique switch, you can get a ignition type switch with key from Amazon for $10
Oh that’s a cool idea thank you.
Crane Video no problem! Happy building
Awesome!
your video is thorough, I went to sleep in grocery store parking lot watching this, thanks I need a nap.. lol. I also been hashing over ways to make these, theres a few people out there that dont know not to glue or bond to the center post when glueing to the knob...
+vintagediesel71 glad you liked it
+vintagediesel71 thank you, glad you liked it. Sorry it's so long. Lol
Increase speed to 1.25 or 1.5 and it is good ;)
That's neat,
FYI, the threaded thing you are using is called a black pipe "close nipple" a close nipple is the shortest nipple that can be made with that size thread, nipple lengths go up from there, like 1/2 x 3" nipple, 1/2 x 4" nipple, and so on.
When they cut the pipe with a pipe cutter, it leaves a "burr" inside, I just thought you might want to know the correct names of things.
Great video!
Thank you
A few notes (after my trial and errors)-
I found that home depot had a larger selection of hose bibs (spickets) than Lowes. When selecting your hose bibb make sure the hex cap below the handle fits a 1/2" close because the first one I got did not (however this can be fixed by buying a 1/2" cap and drilling a hole thru it and replacing it.
Also- you see that his 1/2" x close pipe nipple has a smooth part in the middle. I grabbed one that was slightly shorter and did not have a smooth part and it was too short (didn't cover the switch when inserted over). Make sure you get the nipple with the smooth part in the middle because its longer!
Make sure to select the JB QUICK weld, not the regular stuff as this will significantly reduce your waiting around time (or shorten your project by a day).
good job mate, thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you. Glad you liked it
butt
I really appreciate the video. Very helpful! do you have a video that shows how to wire the rest of the lamp up? meaning, the rotary switch to the socket and the socket to the power supply. I can't get to work with the switch. thanks
Great tutorial, thanks for putting it out there. I am having a tough time getting the right faucet chosen. Could you share the exact faucet brand and model you like to use?
Great video. That double male is called a closed nipple if you ask for it at a hardware store.
Hi, great video. Can you tell me exactly what size is your garden hose faucet? Thank you
Plz be a pal and post a link for the Home Depot "garden hose style" faucet. Or what type of faucet is that, cuz it looks like a water heater faucet?
I didn't dremel the switch. I heated it and shoved it in. Extremely tight fit that way. I groved the inside of pipe first to give the melted outer plastic something to grab onto . whatever works ,,, right?
Oh that’s a cool idea. Yes exactly what ever gets it to work is a win 🤙🏼
didn't you remove that piece from the valve you used in the previous video? I don't have anything to file down lol
+addis urena it is a different way of doing it. Lol
How would you use a dimmer switch instead.
+john hayes you know I️ have been working on that and have not come up with an idea I️ like yet.
How long will that plastic tube last?
+Todd Roy good question, in theory a very long time. I still have the first two lamps I built. I use them daily and have had no issues. Sun light is usually what would be bad for the tube so it should be fine
Good evening, do you sell the rotary switch? I live in Brazil.
+Mauricio Vasconcelos I have not yet but have been thinking about doing that
I would like to buy directly from you. I do the bank transfer + postage value in your bank account.
The screw you took off. You never put back. Why?
I hope you can come up with a dimmer switch would be great. I cant seam to find any tutorials
+john hayes I️ am actually playing with a few ideas. Hopefully I️ get it to work
@@cranevideo3506 have you got it to work yet?
Not yet but still playing with it here and there
Any luck? I would love a video with a potentiometer dimmer attached to the garden faucet. Keep up the great work.
why do you say you could get it at home depot. I have looked everywhere and all their garden hoses do not come out like that. Can you please link the part?
+khaled attia I assume you are talking about the faucet? It would be in the Plumbing department. At least that is where I find them here in California.
Yes, please add link. Not sure all Home Depot’s have that valve.
looking on the website for home depot I haven't seen it, but looking on Amazon I believe I found the exact one for under 6 dollars

Nice!!
I really appreciate the details, but lighting and focus makes it hard to see. Thanks.
Definitely still getting the hang of making videos lol.
Rotator switch is the name?
+Marco Bañuelos As in the name of the actual switch?
non esiste solo l'inglese. questa lingua autoritaria fate in modo che tutti possano capire.
esempio qualcuno traduca simultaneamente. O perderete tante opportunità
a gate valve is better.
Doing it this way takes away from the (water valve) light switch that people are going for, doesn't look right without the hose bib/spiket connection....all you did was made a switch with a round handle....just saying.
seems like you live in a bad neighborhood.
+zplitt LOL 😂 Down town Los Angles
Crane Video haha, thx for the laugh! keep up the cool work!
IT's called a 1/2 x close nipple. Not a double male fitting. You're making money off of it you should freaking know the name of it.
