I made a Storm Trooper Helmet Tiffany Lamp. It took 9 months and 400 hours to complete. I went in thinking this would be an easy project (for some reason), but I was super wrong. It was a lot of trial and error, mostly error. This video is my best attempt at documenting the highs and lows of trying something new that happened to be really challenging.
