4x Four Light Vanity Strip - $51
4x lamp cords with switch - $27
1x Power strip - $5
Pack of wagos - $2
Total cost = $85
Total wattage for the whole thing is 16 60 = 960
Total wattage for each strip 4 60 = 240
Reason I'm recommending wagos is that most people don't know the proper way to use wirenuts so this will hopefully be easier for you in this case.
If you knew what you where doing you could build this at a cheaper price but given your hesitation to this project I'd recommend using a Four Light Vanity Strip instead of stringing together 4x4 lampholders.
>Materials:
4" x 24" x 3/8" (not 100% sure about the thickness) basswood for the sides.
1 large 3/8" (again, dont quite remember the thickness) sheet of plywood, at LEAST 12" x 20" for the outside triangles.
Light stand and wire
Two translucent yellow acrylic sheets Can be found elsewhere, but I couldnt find em around me.
>Tools:
Dremel Rotary tool with a number of attachments.
Scroll saw with different thickness of blades.
Epoxy.
Wood Stain
>Steps
Cut the wood to size with a scroll saw, print out your design on a piece of paper, and outline it through the paper with a sharp pen to indent it onto the wood, then draw with a pencil on the actual wood with your design. Use the rotary tool to cut holes into each section large enough to fit your scrolls saw blade through, fit blade through on scroll saw and carefully cut out each section (by far the longest process, took me about 7 hours.) Then sand your wood, cut your acrylic to size, stain it all, and glue together.
That's a pretty simple overview of it, but it kinda covers it for the most part. There are probably a lot more efficient and accurate ways to do a lot of it, but it was my first project and I used tools available to me, and thats how I went about it.
Okay thank you. I think I understand.
What do you think of the device being sold to accomplish this? I posted it above, it's this? There's a few of that sort of thing that I found...
Thanks so much!
