In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, which Jimmy shared with MAKE as a holiday bonus video, he remembers a wood bending technique he experimented with as a teen and creates this wonderful modern lamp as a result.
For lists of materials, tool, and supplies, notebook sketches, and Jimmy’s notes, see the post on MAKE: http://blog.makezine.com/2012/12/19/diresta-wooden-lamp-bonus-video
