This is as dumb as anything a white girl with a glue gun would do.

ugh of course it would be resin some resin stuff is cool but this always feels like the lazy/unimaginative way to me

I'm not a big fan of glued-in LED elements. They last longer than bulbs, but we all know they do burn out. This thing is a disposable lamp.

Fair enough, I can upvote consistency.

A bunch of environmentally killing procedures, a lamp you have to throw away because you can’t change the bulb & fire-starter electrical.

A separate base? A non-replaceable LED? Think these things through before you go lathing stuff, people. BAD DESIGN.

Guys today I am going to turn RESIN into Internet points!

Resin time, resin time, do do do do resin time.
I'm convinced this is the only reason that epoxy art exists. Nobody wants this crap in their house. It's for making videos and getting views

This looks familiar ? lol

You ponder that thing or what?

I mean.... I would not put this thing in my house....

It looks pretty sharp, kind of like a cave or something. Hitting an air bubble while turning is no fun, but there's always an outside (1/2)
chance of hitting a bark inclusion or bug hole in a solid turning blank or a glue joint failing. Turning isn't 100% safe. (2/2)

Does it though? I was pretty underwhelmed at the finished product.

Should’ve painted the toothpicks like stalagmites and put little aquatic figures in there.
And some skeleton minis.

Judging by the depth of the pour, it was probably one of those super liquidy resins that takes 2 weeks to cure.

Hey Timmy, I know the nano-plastics weren't stopped by your blood-brain barrier, but look at this sweet resin lamp with toothpicks in it.

Some kind of oak. I sold it before I got photos, so I don't really remember.

How do you change the bulb?

Planned obsolescence. This will be tossed in the dump when it no longer works. To me, this is poor design. Pretty, but poor design.

Dude it's an Etsy DIY not an Apple phone. Also you change lamps because times change while LED can last even 20 years.

Instead of just a small hole for the wires, you could drill a bigger hole and be able to pull the LED bit out and replace

You throw it out and replace the whole thing making more microplastics for the rivers

People can recycle all they want. It's a nice thought. But companies have to change how they produce and discard to make a real change.

Oh if only that lie was true. They deliberately over drive Lead's to make sure they fail.
Look up the Dubai LED bulb on BigCliveDotCom's YouTube channel if you want independent proof, but most of us have known this for years.
There are multiple reasons you shouldn't over drive them, life expectancy of the components, disproportionate heat increase and energy waste
And because they change the sinewave of your AC mains, they cause dirty RF to be generated creating RF pollution.
Who does? Who's They? Do you see the LED driver used for this project or are you just speculating about stuff you arent familiar with
The whole industry does.
Brother I work in the LED lighting design industry. This is wholly untrue
LED's could potentially last indefinitly, IF you drove them to about 70% of the max power and use more LED's in the COB. However the whole

LED's can last upwards of 20 years, especially well-encapsulated ones like this.

I've had maybe ten LED bulbs fail, mostly Noma brand. One almost caught fire. Longevity is a myth.
Yeah Noma is a store brand bulb from Canadian Tire. Buy Cree or GE LED bulbs if you want Actual Longevity
Maybe purchase a higher quality product next time

Maybe the vacuum pulled the resin before pouring… works nearly as good.

If you are unlucky you only get a wood handle thrown at you. If it’s the pointy end then it’s not your problem anymore.
Nicodemusthefirst
I'd imagine that depends where the pointy bit hits
soromon
Air pockets would be gaps where your cutting tool has nothing to cut. Your tool will jump when it hits hard material again.
I see. I assume this also has the potential to shatter and/or crack the resin, also?

If the flaw reaches all the way through the workpiece, it can fly apart while being turned at high speed. Had it happen with a knot, once. >
