How to convert film SLR camera into a lamp…

This is a how to (of sorts) for the camera lamp I made last week.

The response to the camera lamp has absolutely overwhelmed me. The post has been picked up by a number of makery, photography, DIYery sites & while I’ve been sleeping I’ve been getting heaps & heaps of lovely emails from all around the place.

The enthusiasm from other people was infectious & I spent a couple of hours with the guys at Calmatronics who were also enthusiastic & fabulously helpful too. They offered a couple of suggestions as to how it could be done & I purchased parts from them to have the light wired professionally.

BUT…

Electicity = potential danger (& in Australia you’re not allowed to do any of your own electrical)

So…

This how to shows how I prepared the camera body for the professional wiring of the lamp. It outlines the options you have for powering the lamp and the parts you’d need to provide to your electrician.

If you live elsewhere & the safety standards differ to Australian regulations then Google is your friend.

Finally, thanks so much for keeping me wanting to make stuff, try harder & do more. It’s most excellent. x

Have I helped you out?
You could buy me a coffee if you like…


Thanks.

Little things…

Picked up at the Camby market on the weekend.

Matchbox stationery supplies – seriously, what could be better? Made in Japan of course.

Not a little thing at all …

A HUGE thank you for the very positive response to the coffee sack project. I can’t tell you just how much it means to me. xxx

An experiment…

I was gifted a couple of coffee sacks by my local.

Just mucking around really & seeing what works. I figured out on the run this morning that crochet was the way to go as it will eliminate the need for exact measurements & I’ll avoid having to drag my long length of thread through the hession.

Anyway, so far so good. I’m always going to be happy with red & red on the natural is quite gorgeous methinks.

Thank you all for your positive feedback about grownup kootoyoo. It’s much appreciated.

I thought I’d give you all the link to gravatar though so I don’t have a whole lot of “mystery man” commenters (I like to know who you are). Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. So this is ace not just for kootoyoo but other non blogger or typepad blogs.
