Resto-Mod: I Turned A Rusty $10 Salon Hair Dryer Into A Lamp

In the spring and summer, I almost completely abandon all types of art and painting. Instead, I turn my attention to other types of fun projects—like this one! 

This is a salon hair dryer, likely manufactured in the 1930s or '40s.

I bought it at a garage sale for $10 and then...

• stripped the paint

• took it apart

•  repainted it

...and modified it into this glorious working lamp!

Here's a link to a photo step-by-step of how I did it.
