Just a small Sunday project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at the Uni lab we have a nice articulated lamp that lacks a base. It’s been sitting on a corner for ages so I set to make a new clamp for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frame is just a bit of T beam with a nut and some square tubes welded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the handle I used a bit of 3\/8 threaded rod and a big washer I had lying around. In order to fix it I decided to make a hole along the axis and tap it to M3. After center punching the rod I screwed it to the drill press, using a center drill to align it. The plan was foiled when I tried to drill, as I left the base loose and it moved. But it’s good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
