  • Bicycle forks are often scrapped if they become damaged, this lamp design recycles these valuable parts by combining them with a hydroformed lampshade and stainless steel base.
    Thank you to Handsome Bicycles for supporting this project by providing the bike forks.

    Amazing curves. Have you ever hydroformed a statue? Like a swan or something of that sort?

    Do you know what a smug pot is? You could probably make a pretty cool one

      I hadn't heard of them before. I could make one, but I don't like creating pollution

    Love it. Did you made those masks in the background out of metal?

      I bought them, but I'd like to make my own helmet sometime

    what is the thickness of the plate?

  • @marcosrezende4234
    @marcosrezende4234 Před 5 měsíci

    Hey Connor... why sometimes to weld the plates do you use filler metal and others don't? Theoretically, it would always be used to reinforce and withstand pressure, right?

    • @ConnorHolland
      @ConnorHolland  Před 5 měsíci

      Welding without filler is best for the edges of two flat thin sheets, its much easier, faster, and better looking with a small smooth bead. Adding filler would make it too hot and result in lumps and unevenness, it would be good for thicker sheet metal though. I use filler to weld the tube on as that needs extra material to form the weld, otherwise the torch would just melt a hole through it
