    • Washers appear to be used to space the cd's. Rather thick washers at that

    • Nicely done. WillRawls: If you can't figure out a way make the holes yourself, you really shouldn't be doing anything with saws to begin with. I don't think the spacing is that critical for this project

    • Great DIY project it is too Jim. Amazing how they don't even bother to credit you on this crappy page...apart from the direct links to your photos, so they don't care about costing you bandwidth for that! By the way you really could sell these easily as I am sure you know already. where can I buy one?

    • Well, I take back what I said. Credit other people's work. Bblogs nowadays are completely riddled with plagiarism.. When I use stumbleUpon I usually stumble to at least 4 copies of the same material, mostly without sources. Sickening.

    • excellent use of materials, plastic cd's dont decompose, so any use of them after theyve become beaten up and unusable is a plus. make a mosaic next

    • welllll, it's highly unlikely that a saw was used to make the holes in the cds and the spacing is pretty critical if you actually want light

    • "Critical" in discerning between the nanometer/meter range- but for this, not so much. They are clearly about the thickness of a CD, from the picture.

    • omg thats neato, right on thanks for the pics making a hole in the cd would be easy use a hole saw (it is basically a special drill bit for cutting holes in stuff) thats just the simplest way see to make uniform holes repeatedly there's probably other ways. a note on plagiarism, who gives a damn unless of course someone makes money of your work. it's the freakin internet pretty much everyone downloads movies, or at least music, free thats almost plagiarism more correctly copyright infringement, but still same idea :P (yes you can rape me with comments how it's not the same or how you don't but honestly i don't care even a little bit because i have no soul :P

    • Take a look again at pics 12 and 13. The spacers were cut out of the center of each CD, probably using a hole saw as mentioned above. This provides spacers, as well as room for the bulb. Since 3 spacers are used between each CD, you will need more CDs than are used for the lamp itself. According to pic 14, no hole is cut in the top CD. A decent highspeed drill bit can drill the holes for the threaded rods; not too difficult

    • we used a device called a dinker for puting bigger holes in vynil 45s so they would work in juke boxes.on e4arly seeburgs it affected the speed the disc played at 45rpm 0r 33rpm for EPs whoopy doo

    • A better use for these presumably defunct cds would be to hang them on trees and vegetables in your garden to deter the birds from eating your fruit. Also some cds are made of a material which can be inflammable or even explosive, so take care people out there

    • fluorescent bulbs don't get hot so the chances of you and your lamp exploding are very slim. More like none. The lamp is a great idea, and that's just what it is--an idea. Do you really need step by step instructions with every freakin detail? Use your brain. Figure it out. The options are endless. Oh, and not everyone has fruit trees and/or a garden or even a yard for that matter but everyone uses a lamp at least once a day. As for the isssue of giving credit....look under image 16. What more do you want? You should have gotten a patent if getting credit was that important to you. Take this posting as a compliment.

    • fumes from burning compact discs are toxic and can kill, fact.. look it up. So unless the lamp does not produce any heat at all the cds are likely to heat up

    • Just a thought...as someone who CAN follow instructions, and use tools, a step-by-step DIY would be extremely helpful, whether or not I have tons of previous experience using electricity. That's what learning is all about. I would LOVE to make this lamp, but there are several missing steps, based on the pictures. Yes, I could figure it out, but how much wasted time would that be if I happen to guess wrong? And wasted materials? Trial and error is good and all, if you are trying to come up with an idea yourself, but when you're making someone else's concept and design....it's just better to KNOW what they did to get the finished product.

    • you should make a DIY for how to get people who look up things just to leave nasty and mean comments to disappear. one person voices thier concern about wasting time figuring out the missing steps, but how much time were they wasting leaving such a mean comment? if you dont like the way something is done or shown then exit the site and find a new one genius.
