Convert an Antique Fire Extinguisher into a Victorian Parlor Lamp!

[@Tom-ki3xb]

Looks great! I love the fact you’re rockin’ the project in your living room! Exactly what I do when the shop is just a little too far and the garage a little too cold. The Dyson makes easy work of the chips! It’s good to have an understanding wife!!!

[@nellayema2455]

I like it. It looks great! It looked good with the lamp shade, too, but it did look a bit fragilee!

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Oddly, I was just about to use a diamond drill to convert a couple of big old champagne bottles into lamps and I might copy this!

[@davidflamee]

Great improvement, as it doesn't detract so much from the extinguisher. Looks awesome now.

[@Blue_Ridge_Ranger]

Looks great! And finally something electronic I could actually handle myself! Keep ‘em coming, Brad!

[@rogermoore126]

Cool old extinguisher. My first thought was I might not love the globe on there, but I was wrong. Much better now!

[@raymyhill2]

Being free was even better great find Brad.

[@OptOutofGunControl]

That's a really cool lamp. Much better with the globe.

[@alexkennedy7671]

Deffo way better with the globe, it looks very cool indeed. Alex

Just be careful when you empty one of these. They contain soda acid which can become unstable over the years. I worked as an extinguisher tech for 20 years and I saw a few people get acid burns and one even lost their eyesight from messing with these. If you unscrew the top and remove the cartridge, be careful and use gloves and eye protection. Dispose of the acid responsively. Sometimes the acid becomes neutralized over the years but be sure use caution. Hope this helps.

Very nice, especially if you're a Queen fan 😁

That part of Robocop freaked me out when I saw it at the theater as a kid.

[@contrabandjoe7974]

I like it. the extinguisher itself is beautiful

[@Mike-Olds-1]

Super Cool 😎 👍

[@paulmoreton3083]

Nice little job Brad, looks soooo much better. Paul in the UK.

[@antipro85]

Cool lamp

[@monsterkxf]

They both have interesting looks but I like the original one a little more 🤘🤘

[@Mysterious_History1]

Put a led bulb in it with a remote and you can change the color and dim the brightness down.

[@GrimKardashian]

That’s a b(r)adass lamp.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Awesome thanks Brad 👍

[@mauricecasey866]

Globe is much better, good job👍

[@adamduchesne]

Maybe a vintage fire helmet on top .

[@A.J.Collins]

"Man 'F' d " The twelve year old in me finds that hilarious.

[@FoulOwl2112]

It'd look better to me if had a long copper coil coming off the hose fitting into a mason jar and a little fire under it.

[@K7MD]

Hey Brad, what make and model is the receiver beside the lamp?

[@Fixologist1]

1958 RCA Stereo Orthophonic
