Morrowind Lamp Designs
- 1 minMaking my first lamp
This past year I’ve come to have access to a hackerspace, something that I’ve never utilized before and honestly I feel like I’ve really missed out!
One of the first things I’ve tried to do is get the hang of the laser cutters.
My first project was to make a lamp, which I did through a class at the hackerspace. This is a super basic project that requires no IRL fabrication skills so seemed like a good start.
My 2D design was centered around making a rectangular shape but avoiding the visible finger joints common in a lot of laser cut pieces. My solution was a bit ambitious as it led to a very difficult assembly process.
The many small parts in the design made it a bit difficult to punch out all the parts that had been cut out. The laser cutter also didn’t cut through everything, even though I made 2 passes with the laser. Curved pieces in particular didn’t do the best.
However, over a few days I was eventually able to glue it together!
But what about Morrowind?
Once I finished the first lamp, I started thinking about other lamps to make. I thought it would be cool to make some Morrowind great house themed lamps.
Since my sister played through as Hlaalu, I started with that one as a gift.
Still have to finish cutting it out.
