tpallas September 22, 2011 Share September 22, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to make a bent wire tubing light tree for my AI SOL, something that I could mount with straps on the back of the stand. Does anyone have experience making these? Thanks! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, shouldn't be too hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu September 23, 2011 Share September 23, 2011 It's terribly easy. Conduit is very cheap as well, so if your bend doesn't turn out just right you can always cut another and try again. I bought a pipe bender, conduit, black spray paint, and a carriage bolt to cap the end of the pipe for a cleaner look. You could probably also use some sort of plastic plug. I also bought 2 brackets that I screwed into the back of my stand that held the pipe, and could be tightened and loosened with wingnuts. It was very easy to move the lamp up and down.

Stu September 26, 2011 Share September 26, 2011 Yep. And if you are careful, you can just return the pipe bender after using it...but you didn't hear that from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
