Some of my work in the Bahamas that I am very proud of, 2017.

Just found your channel thorough the water pump video. Love your enthusiasm!

Absolutely beautiful!!!

I never realized those lenses were separate rings on a frame. Makes sense I suppose, way easier to build than a single lens with that profile.

[@BadBrokur]

wow that is something id never see. useful and beautiful

[@stevenaegele5228]

That's pretty amazing!

Recognized you from The Proper People steam engine vid. Subbed and time to binge!

[@AEKarnes]

Grateful, sorry it's kind of a low budget channel!

[@TI4438]

@@AEKarnes don't worry about that.

[@ceannscriteach81]

@@AEKarnesit’s a high quality channel

[@YesNowGoAway]

@@AEKarnes I guess this is as good an opportunity as any to ask this: Do you have a Patreon, or some sort of way of throwing money at all the wonderful things you do?

[@AEKarnes]

@@YesNowGoAway not officially but I'll gladly take donations, and I do need to set up something like that but the problem is Im so busy all the time I haven't got the time. What a catch 22. I could really use the money too because theres so much to do.

How many operable fuel burning lighthouses are left in the world?

[@AEKarnes]

As of about 2018, just this one for the time being which is something I'd like to correct.

[@richardhouston736]

Very very cool, is this the lighthouse that you were referencing in the proper people video?

[@AEKarnes]

You guessed it! Elbow Reef tower, 5 group flash first order

[@scowell]

Mantle with gas generator? I see below it uses kerosene.

[@ClipperDays]

I know that lighthouse well. I've spent many hours up there winding up the mechanism and carrying kerosene.

[@AEKarnes]

Its a wonderful place, did I meet you down there without knowing it?

[@ClipperDays]

@@AEKarnes No, we were there at different times. I was there as a Captain and killing time doing something I enjoyed while my guests did their own thing.
