You are welcome ! I'm glad you like my projects! I wish I had more time to make them!

Great project and documentation! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading from start to finish.

Awesome ! Thanks for sharing the information and knowledge.

Hey .. thanks for comment ! With the step-by-step explanation and free plans available, you could do part or all of the workspace.

Art is originality and imagination. This is what your work has! thanks for sharing.

Hi Nicole Thank you very much for your comment. It is very gratifying to receive it :)

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like it!

Hobbies like these make us happy. Good luck with those new places and your future creations!

I'm glad you like it! thank you for your comments.

Hi, thanks for your question. The original design (popular mechanical magazine year 1981) indicates that "Red oak boards are installed with tongue-and-groove joints the same way they are installed on floors." That is precisely the original reason for this design: "use preformed wood for floors".In my case -as you say-, the first reason I chose it was the final appearance of the bench top that I wanted.This would not have been possible using the traditional glued laminated wood system.Also, in my case, the workbench has an "L" shape, and it was very quick to build the bench top from 42 pieces of equal size (without tongue-and-groove joints, but with a thickness greater than that of a wooden floor), simply glued together, without having to make several subassem…

hahaha :D I should show you some picture when my workshop is disorganized, when I'm in the middle of building a project. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Jessy. Since I needed more space to continue making projects, I gave myself a gift :D but I'll be happy if this instructable is useful for others to do theirs.

Hi! I really appreciate your comment!

Hi! Thank you for your comments.

I'm glad you find it useful! thanks for comment !

First of all, I am pleased that you are still enthusiastic about the project.Answering your questions:1.About the interior space to house the lamp:I didn't do it by trial and error. In step 2 "Design", figure 8 "Lamp section" you will see that the internal area of the sphere where the lamp is installed was designed with sufficient volume (height, length and width) to allow light to radiate in all directions and that the lamp does not have contact with the outer pipes of the sphere Nos. 4 and 5 (yellow and green colors in figure 7). As the lamp is made of low consumption LEDs (few watts of power) the heat emission is low.2.About how the light radiates inside the sphere:The light is transmitted horizontally, in planes parallel to a table or floor. As the PVC pipe has a c…

As the lamp is made of low consumption LEDs (few watts of power) the heat emission is low.2.About how the light radiates inside the sphere:The light is transmitted horizontally, in planes parallel to a table or floor. As the PVC pipe has a certain thickness and there are two rows of type "4" and "5" pipes, the color in that sense with a yellowish, brownish, grayish hue, depending on the color of the lamp. Vertically, the light is transmitted downwards and the bright, whitish light tone can be seen.3. About if I made other styles and versions.I have not done other styles or versions. There are many variations that can be made. For example, whether it is a table lamp, or whether it is a lamp supported on legs for a living room. I also imagine that the diameter of the pipe could be varied, even the color of the pipe, using PVC pipes for electrical use, and the results could be different, But keeping the same idea.I hope this answers your questions. Regards.

It is very gratifying to receive feedback like yours. I enjoy sharing my projects, knowing that instructables can help a lot of people make them. Thanks!

I really appreciate your comment. Even more so when it comes from you who posted a great instructable (Metal Detector) in this challenge. Thanks and congratulations too.

Hi. You have hit the key! In design, it is incredible to simulate with other cut volumes than a sphere and see other results! I'll do a future upgrade to this instructable showing that and show it to you. Thank you very much for commenting!

Thanks you very much for your comment !! ☝️🙃

I will love to see it when you do it! please share it ... regards

Hi, I'm from that generation of video games, but I didn't really know it. Yours is a very good idea! Perhaps the characters/cubes could have magnets to stick to the cubes and move them. Thanks!

As it is an ornament for decoration, it seemed to me that the base was more elegant making it out of wood. But it could perfectly be made of plastic! go ahead ! Post a photo when it's ready 👏🏻

Thank you !

Thanks for your comment! Share a photo when you have it ready :)

Hey! Thank you!

Thanks for your comment ! I thoroughly enjoyed testing and testing until I found the result. But even more was sharing it with this community! cheers
