Extendable Scissor Lamp
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 08. 2024
- No workshop is complete without a shop light. I built a scissor mechanism so it can extend and swivel over the workbench; I even added some braided lamp cord for that industrial look. It's amazing what you can build with some scrap wood!
Mounting the lamp required a unique solution so that the lamp could tuck away when not needed, but also peek around the corner to be able to extend the entire span of the workbench. Some black iron pipe adds to the aesthetic and allows for a full range of motion.
The main inspiration can be found here:

However I modified the design so that the mechanism parts weren't permanently glued in place. Gluing the parts together means that if something gets tight and needs adjustment, there aren't many options for troubleshooting. Using hardware is more expensive, but this thing is completely adjustable and comes apart completely if need be.
There is enough room on the end to add more gadgets if needed, I'm considering a magnifying glass which would be useful.

Scissor extensions are so cool. They have a compact feeling that's hard to replicate with other sliding mechanisms.
Very cool! Quite clever! Can never have enough lighting where you need it in the shop! Thanks for taking the time & effort to video it and share it with us!
Impossibly cool, stunningly beautiful and insanely overbuilt. God bless you.
I wish CZcams would allow CZcamsrs to set their ads to silent... Had this turned up to listen to the soothing workshop sounds and OH MAN
As intrusive as ads are, the whole point of ads is to get your attention, if even just for a second. Google is an ad company. It would be highly counter-productive for them to add a function that automatically mutes their sponsors ads.
Of course you can just block the ads withAdBlock or Ghostly or other adblockers
People say you shouldnt do this because it eats into the YTers potential profits, but actually it just eats into their sponsors profits, it hurts the big man not the little man, and since its the big man thats annoying me, and the little man thats pleasing me, im totally fine with that
youtube should have any Ads. not a one.
remember those days
just click and watch without any bullshit
wow, great video, the extending/contracting action looks so smooth
Great videography along with an awesome project! Thanks!
The Ol’ outdoor driveway planer...I bet your neighbors LOVE you!
Looks great. Functional and fairly heavy duty.
That was fantastic! Thanks for showing that to us!
beautiful range of motion, well thought out end to end
I watched this video because I was interested in the scissor lamp build. It’s a very clever and wonderful project. But what is even better is the craftsmanship and over-the-top-quality of the video production. Fantastic video!
You and Frank H. Are two peas in the over engineering pod and I LOVE you both. Amazing work.
I loved how you played "Dire Dire Docks" on it at the end.
Wrong video.
Now I know how it is done ... I just need all the machinery. As a joke, I watched the whole video because something that seemed simple to do, was more complicated for it to work as it should. Ingenious, with details and made with wood and water pipes. I also always enjoy observing each one's ability in his trade. Good job.
Love that your intro is just your work place in silence
Nice ! Wonderful workmanship!
Fantastic. Exceptionally well made. very professional
Excellent project. Looks amazing
Very nice video. Build explained by the well edited story without a "YO! CZcamsRS" or loud clashing music....thank you!
Dude, you do fantastic work!
Bright idea. At the end, with the demo of the lamp and the extending arm, I was waiting for a bouncing beach ball - and a mini lamp ;-)
Your video is a pleasure to watch and the work piece is gorgeous.
Beautiful design and beautiful photografy
Likely the most well executed light of this type I've seen on you tube. Well done sir!
I love you scissor setup. I probably will build one but will mount it with cord loops at the bottom to prevent the cord from interfering with the scissors. Your videos are awesome keep up the great work.
There are not many projects I see that impress me as much as this one does. Something that is needed in the shop and very unique. I'm sure you will eventually add a bracket for your camera as well. Just a thought. Great job.
Very well executed design!
Great video also
Great project! I might have to do this and adapt it for my podcasting microphone
And now I’ve watched, very cool!
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
What an absolutely gorgeous video - great product design, nice finishing, and what superb videography!
Beautiful job! Beautiful machines! You looks like a doctor... a cientist! Congratulations! You are the best! Thanks from south of Brasil.
Great project!
Una pieza espectacular! La edición del vídeo es igualmente impresionante, sin decir nada lo dices todo! Enhorabuena!!!
Thanks for sharing that, good idea!
Man this is much more satisfying and better than cringy satisfying videos, Measured Workshop doesn't have any excessive music, talking and their captions describe what they're doing. Keep it up :D
I made one of these from two old expanding coat racks someone threw out and some odds and ends laying around the shop. I still use it over my lathe. To be honest though, mine might be cheaper (although just as functional) yours is much more aesthetically pleasing
Very nice, wonderful woodwork.
Very nice desing, industrial style, congratulations and thanks to share it.
Súper job! Congratulations 👏👏👏
What a nice job man!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
This looks really nice, well made. nice idea👍🏼👍🏼
It’s a cool retro style lamp. Awesome
Truly a work of art
Nicely done -- all around.
Nice work, beautiful lamp, but in the joint system on the tube I would put the locking clamp on a free ring in the middle of the joints, in this way you can fix the height without blocking the right-left movement
Nicely done!
Fantastic work. Congratulations
Es perfecto, precioso, practico etc... que trabajo tan bien hecho, gracias
outstanding !!!
Well done. Great invented.
beautiful!
Beautiful and useful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nicely done!!
Excellent project 👍
I could have used this today while staining a valet box. Great video.
great work deserves millions of likes
You did a great job
Congratulatios beautiful design. I'm Mauricio from São Paulo, Brasil.
😍amazing one!!
Would love to adapt this to my magnification mirror.
That's definitely what I was thinking too! I have to figure out a way to rig it on there, but there's more than enough room to scab it on there I think.
So much satisfying for ASMR lol
Awesome work 👌🔥🔥
muy impresionante, muy bonita la lampara, gracias
Pretty amazing.
Brilliant work and I like your style
In making the video, it’s silent but informative 👍
Que trabalho fantástico amigo. Parabéns e abraços do Brasil

Que criatividade. Munto bom . (Brasil, Bauru - SP)
Awesome! It is realy cool. Thanks for video. Regards from Ukraine.
well done man, that workshop is so pretty that I wouldn´t do anything so I don´t scratch it XD...
Still can't find out what`s going out on the mind of those 200 guys that gave a dislike on this MASTERPIECE...
excelente amigo gracias por compartir tu jenial trabajo.
Отлично!👍 вот только я бы сделал фиксирующую муфту независимо от гармошки светильника, чтоб можно было крутить конструкцию на самой трубе:)
Стазу точно такая же мысль пришла в голову !!!
amazing!!!
Saludos, muy buen trabajo, felicidades
I appreciate your work its very interesting.
Good Job ! Looks very very nice ! ...too nice for installing in a workshop, its a lamp for the living room, beneath the big arm chair, to read a book ....... :-)....
Extraordinario trabajo... saludos desde México..
Very good work man ship
Belissimo trabalho parabens.
Very satisfying video
No BS, no nonsense, and no annoying music
I wish i could have given you more than one "like", but i did subscribe too, hope your channel grows and grows
Excellent
I had one of those lamps over my bed as a kid, made in East Germany.
Best Germany
Благодарствие за видео! Просто крутяк)))
magnífico trabalho....parabéns....
Show!!! Very Good!
that came out great, but you’re going to have to modify it just a little because you can’t turn that assembly without loosing that hand nut.
put that metal collar and hand nut and locate it underneath so the base can swivel on the pipe but it’s testing on the metal collar so it can swivel left and right.
Muy bonita y muy buena terminación, lo único que me gustaría con el cables en espiral tipo resorte, felicitaciones.
I kinda need this for my fume extractor and double as light mounting 🤣
i'm inspired!
Bravo!!!
Excelente trabajo. me suscribo a tu canal. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, argentina.
Если поставить шайбу с стопорным винтом на трубу снизу, чтобы она отдельно висела на трубе и вся эта конструкция свободно лежала на ней, то можно будет вращать всю конструкцию по горизонтали без необходимости ослаблять барашек
