So, let's go in order, step by step:
1. At the beginning, I made a hole in the middle of the workpiece. For this, a milling cutter (which is not necessary) and a drill were used. In any case, one cannot do without work with chisels. A drill can make auxiliary holes using simple and feather drills, after which it is necessary to hollow out the middle with chisels. The depth must be at least as high as the light bulb you want to use.
2. At the second stage, the middle was burned out. A little gasoline (or any combustible mixture), a lighter and you're done. This is the easiest step.
3. Next, I filled the prepared hole with epoxy resin, after inserting a mold with a diameter of about 70-80 mm into it. It can be any plastic even measured form. You can also use PVC pipes, after tightening one end with a film and sealing it with aluminum tape.
4. At the fourth stage, we cut off all unnecessary, again, with the help of chisels, until the epoxy layer appears.
5. The final processing depends on your imagination and creativity. I sanded so that there were small edges, painted with black paint on wood, sanded again and covered with a thin layer of epoxy. Variations can be any.
As a result, it remains only to make a hole for the cartridge and the wire, plug it into the socket, turn it on and enjoy your work
That's all for today. Great creativity to you!

Romanian sculptor and designer Eduard Lokota founded his original design studio with the aim of decorating the homes of modern man. The studio's collections are inspired by nature in general and seascapes in particular. Eduard Lokota makes each sculpture by hand. As a result, the objects are truly one of a kind. They captivate with their representation of the primordial relationship between the hardness of rock and the fluidity of water. The designer combines sculptural elements with artistic features, blurring the line between art and function.
“Eduard Lokota currently lives and works in Timisoara, Romania.
He has been creating unique sculptures using epoxy resin among other materials for a relatively long time.
The essence of the method is that the author of the homemade product, using screw (ordinary ones were also used) drills on wood, drills a bar at different angles with drills of various diameters as needed. In this case, the worse it gets, the better, he says. Actually, this is the gouging drilling method. He also warns anyone who decides to repeat this method that the drills cut into the wood at a sufficiently high speed. This causes certain inconveniences. The author recommends using a screwdriver, and not a drill at a fairly low speed.
Then the author, using a ruler and a pencil, marks the center on both sides and drills with a thin drill also on both sides. This is necessary for accuracy. The resulting hole will be a guide for a large diameter drill.

Specialization: master in the construction of plasterboard structures, finishing work and laying flooring. Installation of door and window blocks, facade finishing, installation of electrics, plumbing and heating - I can give detailed advice on all types of work.
I want to tell you about an interesting LED lamp project. Its unique design is suggested by nature itself, I just added an electrical part and gave it a geometric shape.
In my workshop I had a cut of cherries, from which I cut off an uneven edge with an electric jigsaw. I will use it as the main material for the design of the lamp. The bark of the tree was brushed to remove dust and stubborn dirt.
The edge of the wood was slightly rotten, and to avoid warping the wood due to natural decay processes, I treat it with Minwax hardener. The composition penetrates deep into the wood, and the special resin included in it strengthens and binds the destroyed wood fibers.
I apply the composition with a paint brush, paying maximum attention to the cherry bark so that it does not fall off during further processing.
With the help of a manual milling cutter and a roller sled, I level the surface of the cherry cut.
To create a form to hold the epoxy around the cut wood, I make it from pieces of MDF. To do this, I cut out 4 sidewalls and the bottom to fit the saw cut. I lubricate the inside of them with a thin layer of wax to facilitate release after pouring the epoxy. Then I assemble the case with a glue gun, placing a saw cut of a tree inside.
The epoxy had to be poured in 3 coats to prevent overheating. At first, I kneaded the resin in a cup, then poured it into a mold. I heated the resin with a building hair dryer to remove air bubbles. Again poured the next portion of the resin, and warmed up.
After a few days of curing the resin, I dismantle the mold and remove the formed panel.
On a planer, I remove excess epoxy.
Using a grinder and emery wheels of different grain sizes (from 60 to 220), I process the front surface of the future lamp.
Step by step instruction and video.
1. We make a silicone mold for casting a luminous element.
To do this, we fix the stalk in a glass and fill it with silicone.
The cutting was preliminarily treated with VS-M silicone grease.
2. Pour silicone from a high distance to reduce the number of bubbles.
3. after the silicone has dried, (approximately 30-40 minutes) we remove the cutting.
4. We prepare the cutting: we drill, clean, grind.
5. Install the LED bulb in the handle.
6. We install the handle in a silicone mold and isolate it with a sealant.
7. We prepare a mixture of epoxy resin with a hardener for further pouring into the mold and pour it.
8. After the composition has completely solidified, we remove the workpiece.
9. We check the performance of the LED lamp.
10. Sawing, grinding, giving the desired shape.
11. Now let's make a stand.
12. We decided on the shape, the material will be Premium Liquid Plastic with white dye.
13. Pour into the mold and fix the wires.
Pour time 4 minutes. Full curing 30 min.
We turn on the USB connector! Ready
