CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts.

 Instructions

1.  Lay it flat

2. Or hang it up!

3. Adding some stain to the bottom cut adds contrast between the two layers. Simply space the top layer evenly and glue on top of the bottom layer.

The material specs

 - 1/8th'' wood

- 608 bearings (8mm ID, 22mm OD)

-2.5 mm bolts

-2.5 mm nut

Instructions (Pictures Below)  

1. First, start by inserting the center bearing spacers. These should fit snug; if not, a slight tap with a small hammer will do.

2. Make sure that there is close to an equal amount sticking out on each side. (This does not have to be perfect)

3. Now you will want to add the gear around your bearing.

4. Then you will want to add another gear ring to the top to add thickness. Glue in place once they are both lined up.

5. Then, take one of your main brackets and insert your bolt through the center hole into the main center gear. Do your best to thread the main gear straight and keep it centered on the bolt, leaving just a small space where the bolt head meets the bracket.

6. After that is achieved, you will want to glue the center gear in place. It is easy to see if it's in the proper area of the bolt if it is lying on a flat surface. Also, bolting the surrounding bearing gears in place first will give you a good idea of where it should be glued. Also Seen on the Next Slide..

7. Now, take the other main bracket and line up the bolts with the holes.

8. Then you will want to turn the piece around and tighten the bolts with an Allen wrench. Holding the brackets tight together will ease the tightening of the bolts.

9. Now you will want to put the center nut on the center bolt. Tighten this down, leaving just a little space between the nut and the wood bracket. Then, super-glue the nut in place.

10. Finally, you will want to add the outer, rastered thumb gears. This can be glued into place on both sides. This gear is where you will hold the spinner as it spins. 

11. Well Done!

CUT

Import the included files and cut all the pieces from their respective materials. This file contains vector cuts, vector markings, and a single raster.

Assembly

1. First, you will want to take one of the complete silhouette cuts and place the one with the cut out for the cord on top. This cut out gives you a channel to hide the chord of the light fixture.

2. We suggest using wood glue and clamps to create the best bond for both pieces.

3. Once glued you will want to string the bracket on to cord until it goes to the bottom of the small light fixture then run the power cord down the channel to the exit the foot.

4. After the cord is where you will want it, the other silhouette cut out can be glued ontop. (Wood glue and clamps suggested for best outcome)

5. We can now move onto the umbrealla structure using the 8 notch bracket and inserting the 2 bracket umbrella ribs across from one another. 

6. Continue to add the rest of the ribs of the umbrella that arent apart of the two piece bracket. There is also a small arrow shaped piece that inserts into the top of the umbrella.

7. At this point it will be good to paint all of the pieces. We chose to paint this project mostly black to give it the silhouette look. Feel free to do the same, or brighten it up to look like a painting from Peter Max. Also Seen on Next Slide..

8. After the paint dries, string the chord through the top panel of the base and run it through the bottom base's channel out the back. (the two base cuts can be glued prior to this step, or after).

9. While running the cord through you can now insert Wattson into the base.

10. Now you can move on to the umbrella portion of the fixture and start gluing and stretching the fabric in place. (choosing fabric that has good stretching properties is best for the cut of the fabric, and the application) We used a black polyester.

11. Start the process of gluing the fabric in place on one rib end, then moving onto gluing the fabric to the next rib end directly across.

12. Continue this process until you have glued all 8 edges to the tip of the ribs.

13. Finally you will want to screw in your lightbulb and attach the unbrella bracket to the double notched bracket at he bottom of light fixture itself.
