Machining a ....... Something Unusual

[@joepie221]

Looks good Crispin. Now lets see you land your hat on it from across the room.

[@a6cjn]

Nice work! You may wish to consider an LED candle light - they are surprisingly realistic (and safer) without the heat and tarnishing. Chris

[@simonbirt6121]

But boring, a real flame is so much better.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

I agree!

[@orcasea59]

Beautiful! Such a nice break from the industrial machining we see so often on YT. While I see things such as steam engines as true art, it's nice to see machining applied to fine art. Very nice!

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Good point!

[@EddSjo]

If you like to see guys filing small things, look up clickspring, he does some absolutely fabulous work

[@KimbrellBrad]

Nice to see some of your personality inside your home as well as the shop! Great little project with an interesting bending technique. Lots to take away here just in fabrication ideas!

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

That was great thanks. My dad would consider four of those to be a central heating system.

[@twotone3070]

Well, four is the only correct number for candles.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

[@thetrevor861]

A beautiful piece ! With a slightly insane amount of work. You are, I am sure you will agree, a bit mad. And thank you !

[@tobyw9573]

I happened to watch a Bogart/Sam Spade movie last week and I admired the way his skillfully tossed fedora landed solidly on the coat rack. I suddenly had a feeling I had seen such skill in much more recent times:)

[@howardosborne8647]

Tremendous job on the wall bracket. My Grandfather had many old carriage lamps from his days of running horse drawn Landaus. Some were spring loaded candle lit and a few were oil burners.

[@ronringel9132]

Well done... well done indeed Mr. Crispin. Thank you for sharing.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@jonsworkshop]

Nice illuminating job Crispin. Horncastle eh, my old back yard being a Lincoln lad originally. Antique central. Cheers, Jon

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Indeed!

[@Rustinox]

Indeed, that was very interesting. And good choice on the candle. So much better than electric.

[@mattholden5]

@MrCrispin Your explanation of insert profiling on the diamond wheel taught me a great deal about the importance of of tool sharpness at the microscopic scale. Thank you.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Yes in some circumstances you can't beat a sharp edge. (not all but some)

[@byjingobob]

Splendid job sir. The mount certainly does the lantern justice.

[@francomencacci6694]

"The Luminary Shoppe" youtube channel can help you with any questions you have about the lamp... excellent job! greetings from Argentina

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@stevenlawrence1036]

Jefferson here and catching up on your latest videos and it’s good to see you can turn your hand to making fixtures and fittings, have seen those lamps before and one was restored on the tv program the restoration shop and yes the spring was for a candle so as it melted away it’s pushed up , yours looks pretty impressive and a lot of time on it but we’ll worth it . 👌🏻

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thank you Jefferson.

[@bostedtap8399]

Very interesting on the ex Naval bronze, good call on Tin being expelled, Brass suffers from de-zincification if I understand correctly. lovely looking lamp, beautifully accompanied by the wall mounting. Best of luck making another one. 👍 Thanks for sharing . Best regards from the Black Country. John.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@union310]

Dezincification happens in boiler bushes.

[@danmartinrc]

Great work Mr. Crispin! I liked the precision squashing and hand finishing.

[@foolio42]

Nothing like a good bit of filing to remind one why we have machine tools! Very nicely done.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Indeed!

[@craigspicer4296]

Great Work with the Lantern, great tips on turning and thank you for your time.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Mr. Crispin, It was strangely good to hear you say "Squashing" many times as I feels to me a non engineering term. Also, good to see hand fitting going on, I sometimes feel it is becoming a lost art but being an old fitter/turner I guess that thought is not surprising... Enjoyable viewing, thank you. Take care. Paul,,

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@johncrisman576]

Stunning on the wall.

[@samshublom8761]

Just last week I completed a similar project making two brackets to support a pair of caboose (brake van) end markers (lanterns) which I have mounted on either side of my garage doors. Like yours, the project required a lot of filing.

[@bcbloc02]

The amount of handwork required made me think I was watching Tom Lipton for a minute. 😎

[@alwaysbearded1]

When I first saw your thumbnail I thought that looks like the bracket for the lamp on my boat. The similarity ends with bracket for a lamp. Was surprised I got it right. That looked like a fun project.

[@yanneman57]

Beautiful holder for a beautiful lantern - that's a fine example of home improvement!

[@modelsteamers671]

Great stuff, nice to see something different being fabricated. I normally tinker with model steam engines but I do have an interest in old gas street lamps and for years I've wanted to make one as garden ornament, your video has got me thinking about starting on it :-)

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Sounds good!

[@stephenbrown1143]

It's nice to see a somewhat "off piste" video from time to time and a fine result. Thank you.

[@phillipyannone3195]

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Many thanks

[@tonyc.4528]

I've seen that pink effect in ammunition brass that has had extended contact with the ground. The zinc gets pulled out of the alloy and it takes on that pink hue as a result.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Interesting

[@richball9576]

Wonderful job Mr. Crispin! It's nice to see such an old soul in a young man. It's as if you were born 100 years too late. Lol (I meant that as a compliment)

That was great, Crispin. Quite a change from what we usually see you do, but I loved it just as much (and learnt just as much). Cheers, Craig

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Nice addition to your home. I think your bronze may have contained aluminium as an alloying component, hence the localised colour change. I echo other comments about modern LED bulbs, you can get many different effects. Best wishes, Dean at Retromeccanica, Oxfordshire.

Very nice job and something a bit different. The march music reminds me of my father who was principal clarinetist in the John Philip Sousa Band in the 1920s to 1930s when it was disbanded.

Nice story!

Wonderful job using scrap metal thanks for sharing your many skills 🦘👍

[@ErikBongers]

Amazed at how good that hand filing looks! Could anyone explain what the risk with the soldering was? Some chemical reaction?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Thanks. Do you mean the silver soldering of the two pieces together at the end?

[@ErikBongers]

@@MrCrispinEnterprises The piece you decided to screw instead of solder, because...tin?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

My concern is that what ever is alloyed with the Bronze is not compatible with the Silver Solder and flux that I was using. Based on suggestions from the comments it could well be Aluminium Bronze. Aluminium doesn't take standard Silver Solder

[@ErikBongers]

Thanks. Hope I'll remember that when needed.

[@LogicWheels]

Very well made. But how about the locomotive? :-))

[@kevCarrico]

something tells me that it will be very well made too.

@@MrCrispinEnterprises Great, looking forward to it!

[@stuartsurkitt2585]

yet another great piece of work Mr Crispin. i almost thought you would have lined up the two fixing screws. wonder how many others spotted it. i also wonder if you have now done that or , if not, will you?

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

I set them both horizontal!

[@eddjordan2399]

very nice.

[@kevCarrico]

when you filmed your intro in front of the titanic pictures, i thought it was rather foreboding. then you used the word “disaster” - i’m so glad it all went well, great video - thank you!

[@warrenjones744]

I like the fact that you used the proper English term of Squashing, here in America we sometimes refer to that operation as Squooshing. However it means the same thing. Nevertheless nicely done, that lamp is a wonderful example of things done right it should be on prominent display. Cheers

I agree that unfortunately when annealing the ring, you went above the critical temp of the alloy in the ring and one metal partially dropped out. Bob the painter says that there are only happy accidents :-)
