Hobbyist Builds Custom LED Wall Lamp After 8-Month DIY Learning Curve
A self-taught maker spent eight months of spare time designing and constructing a wall lamp using laser-cut Plexiglas, LED strips, and wood paneling, despite having no prior woodworking or LED experience. The project began as an ambitious idea for a living-room art piece but was scaled back to a simpler bedroom lamp using beech wood to match existing furniture, intended as practice for a future, more elaborate build.
