Corian ain't just for countertops
In his sprawling underground NYC shop, Jimmy DiResta has what seems like every tool and material known to man, all tucked away somewhere in the labyrinth. In this episode of DiResta's Cut, Jimmy whips out a tool and material we haven't seen yet in this series: A desktop CNC mill and a sheet of Corian. Watch as he turns it into an adjustable LED lamp:

I wonder if a thin bead of white silicone at the seams would have given perfectly light-tight seams without being visible when lit?
I wasted my time on a box lamp, bummer. A designer, Jimmy is not.
Eric, it seems that you wasted even more of your time writing that comment.
Thank you Alex!
Jimmy has a degree in design from SVA, where he is currently employed as an instructor in design. By your proclamation, what makes a person a designer is apparently subjective. That being the case, having reviewed your body of work versus Jimmy's, I'd say he's more of an effective designer than you are, and if I needed anything designed from a toothpick to a skyscraper, I'd hire Jimmy before I'd hire you. That's my subjective opinion.
Really cool lamp. Try lowering your rpm on the plastic if your chips are welding or increasing your feed.
