今年預計的Project就是把所學到的木工,結合本身機械、電子的專業,去設計一些木製產品。經過一些考量 (方便來回林口攜帶、由簡入繁、可不斷變化) 我決定今年以一系列的夜燈開發當作Project。先從臨摩別人的作品開始,然後逐漸加入自己的點子。希望接下來每個月至少可以設計&製作一個夜燈,變成一系列 NLight (Night Light)。
The project in this year is expected to combine carpentry learned recently and own machinery & electronics expertise to design some wood products. To think some considerations (easy to carried and develop) I decided to develop a series of nightlights as Project in this year. Start from imitating others' work, and then gradually add my ideas. I hope I can design & produce one nightlights per month at least, to be a series of NLight (Night Light).
Concept
這個月首先登場的是NLight-Moon。以月圓當作概念。
利用淺白色的楓木,配合黃色的LED條燈,做出中秋月圓的意象。
First product in this month is NLight-Moon. Using full moon as a concept,
basing white maple, with yellow LED lights, displaying the Mid-Autumn moon imagery.

作法
1. 首先在CAD裡先設計與確認設計的尺寸。
2. 備料,把所需的楓木尺寸裁切出來,總共三塊。
3. 其中有兩塊要切出圓來,先用壓克力線鋸 鋸出圓來,再用鑿刀修整圓。
4. 膠合三片,並利用虎前與C型夾固定住。
5. 等待木工膠乾著之後,用鉋刀削平外觀,並用砂紙打磨,最後上保護木蠟油。
6. 先鑽要給電線跑的孔,使電線穿過到內側,並焊接LED燈條 (30cm 12V 5W)
7. 安裝線上開關,以控制燈啟動與否。記得LED電極有方向性,小心不要接錯。
8. 完成接線,試點燈。
Step
- Designed and checked the dimensions in CAD.
- Prepared materiel, cut the required size of maple, including three prats.
- Two parts have to be cut out circles hole, using acrylic wire sawing to cut firstly, then trimmed around the circle by chisel.
- Glued three pieces together, and used C-clamps to fix.
- After glue dried, flattening appearance by plane iron and sand paper, and finally applied wood wax as protection.
- Drilled holes for installing wires and welded to LED strip (30cm 12V 5W)
- Installed a line switch to control ON/OFF. Remember LED's electrode has direction.
檢討:
1. 備料是一個學問,通常由最小的尺寸開始裁切起,並考量餘料是否能安全裁切等等。
2. LED燈不夠深入,從外觀很容易看得出來,光線也因此不夠均勻。
3. 線上開關離燈超過30cm,不利使用者操作。
4. 因為LED還是會發熱,以至中間那一片,某些薄肉處會因熱變形,使表面鼓起不平。
5. 組合三片木頭,但花紋沒有對齊,十分可惜。
