About done with this 1952 Ford F-1 grill light. Silver/smoke led edison or standard filament bulbs....hrm?

Got myself a new hat. #citylocs #licenseplate #hat #diydaddio #diy #diyproject #diylight

Another work in progress nearly complete today. Earlier this year I decided to rip the carpet up in the porch as I had an unidentified leak that I couldn't find the source of, which in turn was soaking my carpet and making it look gammy. Anywho, my bright idea was to tile the porch to make it easier to clean and also just to create a new fresh look in my little sim square of a porch ( @thesims fans will understand that reference!!) I did eventually locate the leak under my door (it's only took over a year...) and have sealed it, so I'm hoping it's now resolved!! The finished article is coming soon 📸 once my daddio has grouted it 😀 whilst being silently supervised #spotthesausage #upcyclingmama #homeimprovement #homesweethome #porch #porchdecor #tiles #floortiles #bandq #grey #newideas #diy #diyDaddio #supervisedbythedog #dachshundsofinstagram #wirehaireddachshund #wirehaireddachshundsofinstagram #dachshund #supervision

The first #1956 grill I knocked out (top) had multiple coats of #paint and I hit it with a #satin #clear. It was crusty and cool. That #grill was the #first #trialrun at these #f100 #walllights and the wiring wasn't #pretty. #Fast forward and now I plan to hit this with #boiledlinseedoil and add a custom touch to this one ;) #diylight #diyproject #diydaddio

Look at the #patina on this #awesome #1956 #ford #f100 #grill Can't wait to make this one and get her listed. Complete with #56 specific #rings and a #V8 #emblem. #edisonequipped #edison #diylight #diydad #diydaddio #edisonbulb #lighting #vintagelight #vintagewire #colorcord #f-100 #f1 #effie

Replaced the old Arvin switch with a toggle switch from #vintagewireandsupply Waiting on a ton of small parts from #colorcord to knock this one out. #diylight #diy #diylamp #diydad #diydaddio #diyproject #arvin #lamp #vintagelight #vintagewiring #vintagewire #vintage

#notachocolatebar Turn it into a cool bench? This is the wider and taller #F250 8' bed tailgate. So, there's room for 2 or maybe 3. #tailgatebench #chocolate #diyprojects #diydaddio #wheredoiputtheedisonbulbs #ford #fordtruck #fordtrucks #goodfind #f150 #trucks

#makingitcasting Anyone wanna see me on TV? I usually like to hide in the garage and make stuff, but this could be pretty cool :) #recycle #ilightupyourlife #edisoneverything #diy #diylight #diydaddio #garageart #vintagelight #vintagelighting #vintagewire

Another one out the door. Three 53 grills here right now. Stay tuned for pics. #sold #etsy #ebay #diydaddio #diylight #doityourself #vintagelight #vintagewire #patina #oldtin #effie #effi #f1 #ford #f1truck #oldfordtrucks #oldfordtruck #1948 #1949 #1950

#1953 #ford #F-100 #truck #grill getting lit up this week. I think I need to swap in some steel buckets on this one. Too much silver. #etsy #ebay #vintagelight #vintagewire #diylight #diydaddio #diyproject #edison #edisonequipped

This #1954 #Ford #F100 #truck #grill, #wall #light just #sold on eBay. Time to source a few more #grills. #ebay #Etsy #edison #vintagelight #diylight #diydaddio #vintagelighting #vintagewiring #patina

Finally sold the #1954 #ford #f100 #wallart I had sitting around. Ironically, both 54 #grills #sold the same day. #ebay #Etsy #edison #vintagelight #diylight #diydaddio #vintagelighting #vintagewiring #patina

Arvin heater lamps with Edison bulbs. Now available for purchase. Msg me for price and specifics. #arvin #antique #heater #edison #edisonbulb #diylight #diydaddio #vintagewire #vintagebulb #bulb #wire #vintage #repurpose

#Purchased three more #Arvin #heaters. I had too much fun with the #first #pair. Now, I get to #challenge my #creativity with a few more. Looking to add #dimmers and #toggle #switches to these....somehow. These will all be #listed on #Etsy, once completed. #edison #vintagelight #diydaddio #diylight #vintagewire #vintagebulb #diy

A little peak inside the Arvin space heater. Gutted the old heater components. Installed three candelabra bulbs. Edison everything! Who wants to see the finished lamp? If I can get 100 likes on this post, I will post an image of the finished lamp. Did I mention I will be selling the matched pair on Etsy? I will repost next week when these hit the Etsy shop. #arvin #heater #edison #diylight #matchedset #edisonlamps #lamps #lamp #edisoneverything #diydaddio #etsy #diylamp #rewire #vintage #reclaimed #vintagewire #vintagebulb #edisonbulb #makersgonnamake #maker #reinvent #instagram #followme

Next up, making a small night light from an old heater. I completely gutted the old wiring and sketched out a few options for sockets/bulbs. I need a few small parts. Then, it's time to spray some paint. What color should I spray this one? #vintagelight #vintagewiring #vintage #cord #cordsets #edison #lilbulbs #notmuchroominthere #repurpose #diy #diylight #diydaddio #rewire

Jay's second F-100 grill. Also his second 1956. Just need a few parts for the wall bracket. Thanks Jay! #F100 #f100mob #f100ford #ford #fordtruck #fordtrucks #etsy #vintagelight #vintagewire #edison #edisoneverything #chrome #patina #rusty #rustygold #diylight #diydaddio #diy #trucks #grill #v8
