This video describes the process I use to build lamps inspired by solid geometry. Many of my clients and friends, and clients who have become friends, have asked me for plans.

Like I say in the video I m not in possession of anything like that. All that the making of these solids require is a technique. In fact, solid geometry is the plans in itself. The object you will be making has actually been designed by mathematics.

The technique I use is not the only possible way to build these objects. Hopefully this video will inspire you woodworking lovers and you will be able to develop techniques that suit you and your equipment best. So keep on making and remember that this is a dangerous business.

Be at the top of your concentration when you use saws and always think of safety first!
