Handmade recycle lamp

Image
Follow the concept of shoji lamp, I had made a lamp which is easy to be done and cheap. The material is only a wood I found somewhere in my house, bulb holder, plug, used cable, bamboo satay stick, bulb and two used spoiled CD. I saw the wood into a smaller piece that only able to fit the bulb holder and sand it. Then measure and fold an A4 paper so it fits the width and length of the wood. Then I glue the stick accordingly and it will look like this. I fold it letting the stick at outside then glue the join together. Then I make a small hole letting the wire to go through. Then stick the CD to the wood and the wood to the bulb holder. The box will go in exactly the wood and hold it. Then it is time to try out.   Tadaa!! It’s done and working. Pretty nice too as the design is simple.

I browse through the internet and found a website name instructable.com. I found a lamp that pretty nice. It use Japanese shoji style to create a DIY lamp. So I try to make on my self too. I use tracing paper, bamboo satay stick, some electronic equipment. The wood I do not know for what purpose, I just take it picture for fun. Then I start with measuring the stick. I align it this way so that it will had rectangular shape and not square. Then I measure the stick for the horizontal and vertical for the inside the square. I took 70% of the original length and cut it into sizes. So it will looks like this. 4 different length of stick. Then I glue the join with glue gun. I will suggest use UHU because glue gun is far too hard to control. Then I stick the frame to the tracing paper which I had cut it into sizes. It almost done with 4 angle. It will look something like this. I perform the wiring for the electric parts. Then stick the bulb hold

It was about 200 plus of junk mail. I didn’t open the mail but just take a glimpse look on the title and sender then delete it. Suddenly I saw an email send by Cathay Cineplex. I open the email and with surprise I realize I just win a contest. A contest from Cathay Cineplex which I participate couple of weeks ago. Thinking it might be scam or something similar but look properly, it was for real. So I decided to print this out and proceed to Cathay Cineplex. I pass my photocopy IC and this email print out to the ticket counter. The person face feel weird and proceed to the office.

Motion detector (2006)

This was a video recorded about 2 years ago during our Uni life. We had a group project which required us to program a software that will need to works with the robot arm. So we figure out of using web cam as a motion detector. We were the only group that program motion detector. The moment the web cam detected a changes of motion, it will signal the robot arm to move and pick up the tissue. The cardboard to hold the drop down of tissue was my idea. Yea, it look worst. ><. It was funny when the program didn't go through very well. In the video, the person who drop the tissue packet on the conveyor belt was me. The person who wear the dark blue watch was also me. There were various part where I keep picking up the tissue. Then the person who record this video and the voice that talk all the time was Teck Kheng. There ware couple of part where a hand try to cover the web cam so that the robot arm will response to it was Wah Keong. ><
