[@andrewmonahan8358]

I know here in Canada we get our flat sheets from roofing suppliers

[@jasonduffy]

says Ontario is he the resident tinsmith at Upper Canada Village ?

[@criticalmass613]

He was at Black Creek Village. Unfortunately John passed away a few years ago.

[@argentorangeok6224]

What solder do you use?

[@criticalmass613]

Kester lead free solid wire solder

[@angierobinson6167]

Does he sell his items?

[@criticalmass613]

Unfortunately John passed away a few years ago. And they no longer make artisanal items like this anymore.

[@angierobinson6167]

@@criticalmass613 well whoever has his work is most blessed to have his pieces in their homes. Exceptional craftsmanship. 💜

Didn't show the Cylindrical Edge making step...

[@criticalmass613]

Missed a few steps in the entire process but tried to keep most of them in the vid. Sorry my friend, next time it'll be there. :)

[@davids6533]

I had a lantern very similar to those he made, and not realizing what I had, I gave it away. Hindsight...

[@criticalmass613]

I know how you feel. Just think think of this... that person will think of you kindly every time they see that lamp.

[@nicholasnewlin1138]

What all are the tools and equipment he is using? I'm planning to take up tin smithing and doing it the way it's being done here. Any information would be appreciated.

[@criticalmass613]

I made this ten years ago my friend... can't really remember all the details. John does a good job explaining the process so watch it again and listen as he names his tools. You can also contact Black Creek Pioneer Village and ask them for some info.

[@nicholasnewlin1138]

@@criticalmass613 Splendid. Much thanks.

[@andrewmonahan8358]

That top edge is beautiful. Don't make men like that anymore

[@brianellsworth4767]

Pretty lantern but don't use it in a barn.
