Pushkinsky lantern from tin cans with their own hands (1/2)

Greetings all lovers to make your own hands! In this article, I want to tell and show how the pretty thing is to make a pretty thing that serves as decoration of the interior of the house or exterior of the cottage (one can and on the contrary).

On the Internet there are descriptions of such products, but everything is so much written there, it is difficult to understand anything.

For the manufacture of Pushkinsky lantern, we will need tin from cans, preferably larger, and preferably not corrugated. We will have the main tool for metal scissors, although the tin can be cut and simple stationery. We will need:

Materials

1. Solder pos-60
2. Riniphole or soldering fat (acid or chloride zinc do not recommend because of their high corrosion activity)
3. Cartridge E27 (or E14, who likes what)
4. A pair of sleds of "bedbugs" for fixing the cartridge.
5. Cut of tin profile 25mm. - 250-300mm.
6. Electric seal number 7 (the smallest)
7. A piece of steel wire Ø3mm. For ring (I used a welding electrode)
8. Corrugated (or matte, at worst clear) plexiglass.
9. Transparent silicone sealant.
10. Paint (who is someone who likes, I have a black matte)

From the tools, except for scissors, you will need:

1. Soldering iron with a power of 80-100W.
2. A hammer
3. Measuring and marking tools (ruler, circulatory, drain, caller)
4. Drill or screwdriver, drill Ø3,3mm.
5. Stationery clamps
6. Personal File or Flat Filter
7. Vice
8. Two segments of the Corner L25mm. about 300mm long.

So, the first thing you need to prepare the material. Cutting on metal with tin cans cut off the lock connections and cut the jar by forming. So we get a sheet of white tin with relatively smooth edges.

Next, proceed to the markup of our lantern. First you need to decide on the size of the lid, pushing out from its size and will be designed the entire flashlight.

I got a square with a side of 230mm., Therefore, the circle of 115mm radius fits into it. The lantern we will have a hex, which means the size of the side of the upper part should not exceed 95-100mm., And because of the planned pattern it will be even less.

Place the details of the case of the lamp. We need to do six pieces of side, upper and lower parts. We draw the remaining (or new) piece of tin on the rectangles of 20x10mm (where 10mm. - The fold line is denoted)

And now a slight retreat. For broken holes, I used a small device that could now be called "incredibly cool" or something like that.

And then cut off the strip through the centers of the holes (the line between the holes is the fold line).

Six with bilateral and four with one-sided punching.

Bending the blanks with the help of "even more steep fitting", consisting of vice and two segments of the 25th corner.

I exhibit the corner of approximately 120 ° over the entire plane on the fold and wooden bar (inaccuracies will be taken when assembling, but it is better to reduce the angle slightly, when stained, it will warm up to the desired value) in strips with double-sided cuts and 90 ° in one-sided.

Such blanks should be:

The length of the blanks is determined by semicircular cuts, in order to subsequently, as it were, one integer.

The side edges of the lantern are collecting using the "Bigheel Device" called the template.

Presenting a piece of plywood with contours deposited, axial and support points, in which the windows for the stationery clamps are still cut (it is done in 15 minutes). Insert the workpieces, correct the axes along the coincidence of semicircles and solder together. Get three walls trapez

Which are further connected by the same template
