Project Information

I made this for the cieling of an addition to hold their expensive light.
The unit is made from 3/4 Oak plywood pie cut with a rounded over strip between each segment and the crown molding is built up in 3 layers to create the inside circle.
This guy is 7ft across and 18" deep. It is stained to match the rest of the room work I did there.
the device under the light is an electric lift for maintaining the light. You press a button and up and down it goes.
I couldn't keep my hands off that stupid button… It's the kid in me I guess…

I was impressed with the ceiling first up.

Its nice to be able to have a home with such great features.

An exceptionally great job on the timber work!

As for the motorised light …well some people have way too much money.

Years ago I pulled a motorised car areial apart just to see how it worked, I built some thing similar and it amused my kids for hours so I can relate to you enjoying yourself.

Impressive! The simple lines (curves?) really show off the wood.

Nice work. How high are the ceilings that would necessitate a light lift (for dusting and lightbulb changing, I presume)?
