Make an Instant Chandelier with Makita Cordless Drill

A chandelier for your living room or dining area can easily spice up the sophistication of your home. From a simple centerpiece that can turn out to be a masterpiece, use your clever imaginations of what you can do to and let your Makita cordless tool help you make your ideas come to life.

I found this chandelier very interesting and quiet easy to work out. With budgeted materials yet a contemporary looking chandelier. It looks easy to create. You can also use recycled empty jars of your peanut butter or other containers that can be used for this.

What you will need. A wood for the platform base, empty jars, black cable, mason jars, lamp socket.


1. Start from drilling holes to the platform base of the chandelier to where the cable wires exactly fits. Use your Makita cordless driver drill with bits that is compatible to wood.

2. Do the wiring of the bulbs. If you are not familiar with electrical installation, get help with a friend who can do this. You can use other any color cable wire. Just make sure the wire can handle the voltage of the bulbs.

3. Clean the mason jars. You can paint them if you want to. Try experimenting.

4. If you are done with the wirings, insert it to the jars carefully one by one. You don’t have to rush. Do it gently with ease.

5. Hang the chandelier between 30 to 36 inches above from the dining table. Adjust it to where you feel comfortable.

Recycle them and make a simple and easy to do usable things for your home.  This DIY project with trimmed trees is usually done with professional workers in the field of forestry or landscaping maintenance. You can find their crafts in their work sites and even to their homes. I usually see chunk of wood as a chopping board from meat dealers. But this time, for home owners, hobbyist or crafters it is something cooler to do in a normal living. You are more gifted in creating stuff the way they want it to be for your home. Do it like a pro with your right power tools and get the job well done.

Chunky side table
For a side table, you will need is a 4-5 inches thick wood chunk from the resources mention above. Use a chainsaw for slicing a chunk of wood from a fallen tree. Chainsaws works best for cutting wood easier and faster evenly and smooth. To make the cut smother, do sanding with orbital sander. For a furnished look, apply coats of polyacrylic to its surface applied as desired and protect the side barks with clear lacquer spray. Now lean and stick your finished product to a sturdy stool.

Mini wood branch magnets

This project is much easier to handle. You will only need a thin fallen branch with 1-2 diameter, lasting magnets, super strong glue or epoxy and a cordless drill.  To create a eco-friendly natural wood magnets, start chopping the branches with a saw and do sanding a little for finer edges. Drill a small 1/8” hole in the center of your mini branch wood. After you got those holes, stick the magnets with your super glue or epoxy and allow it to dry overnight. Now you can enjoy your authentic magnets.
