DIY Industrial Lamp for Father’s Day

Father's Day· Home Decor· Wood

Father’s day is quickly approaching and if you are anything like me, finding the perfect gift for dad is a difficult task. Why is it that dads are so hard to shop for anyway? Well, never fear, I have the perfect DIY for you that dad is sure to love. This industrial lamp DIY for Father’s Day is so simple to put together that you will be done in an hour. Now that is a win-win if you ask me!

Supplies to make your own industrial lamp DIY:

  • Bottle Lamp Kit
  • Industrial Light Bulb
  • Large Wood Block
  • Wood Stain
  • Drill with 1/2″ bit and smaller 1/4″ bit

DIY Industrial Lamp for Father's DayBegin by using your spay stain to stain the wood block. I used a brush on stain I had on hand, so I waited until the end to stain by wood. Once the stain is dry, drill a large 1/2″ hole in the top of the block. Then drill a small 1/4″ hole in the bottom corner of one side of the block.

Unscrew these screws just enough to wrap the exposed end of one wire around one screw and then tighten the screw back up. Repeat on the other side with the second screw and the other piece of the wire. Next, slide the black portion of the top part of the socket back into the socket sleeve and press the two pieces of the socket together until you hear and click and the two pieces are connected.

DIY Industrial Lamp for Father's DayFinally it is time to add your light bulb! Your lamp is now ready to use (or gift in this case)!

DIY Industrial Lamp for Father's DayI love the mix of the walnut stained wood with the exposed brass and industrial Edison bulb. And while dad will love it and he will think you spent all day making it, you can easily make this industrial lamp DIY for Father’s Day in under an hour. So, what are you waiting for? Go make dad a gift he won’t forget.
