Rolling tapered tails for carriage lamps, brass vs steel. The Luminary Shoppe.

Rick makes the determination to replace the old cracked and pitted tails for these Hearse lamps. He talks about his reasoning and demonstrates his methods for rolling the tapered tubes and assembling the tail stems.

Dave, you have one of the most interesting and well edited channels going. There is nothing boring about the work you do. Your craftsmanship is amazing.

[@ronwhite6719]

Hey Rick, there's nothing better than spending time with your grand kids. Enjoy And see you when you get back

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Another great video Rick. Enjoy the river with your Grandson

[@railfan439]

I did the Colorado River trip many years ago. Boarded the rafts at Lee's Ferry, and got off at Pierce Ferry. The raft company I used was Grand Canyon Expeditions, out of Kanab, UT. Take plenty of pictures, and extra batteries and SD cards for your camera. You will have a great time. Thanks for the videos. Jon

[@normmcrae1140]

You made me SO jealous! - Going down the Colorado with your Grandson should be a GREAT adventure that he'll treasure for the rest of his life! And so will you!

[@72polara]

Have a good time Rick! Sounds like a fun trip.

[@opendstudio7141]

The Arkansas River Kayak Tour looks like a lot of wet fun. Salida Colorado is a picture perfect place, nestled between three beautiful mountain ranges. 🛶🛶🛶

[@kevinreardon2558]

Grandkids are the ultimate reason for keep kicking. Have fun!

[@richardmattingly7000]

You might have tried to tin the holes in the brass with solder but it's likely that trying to file/sand it smooth would have cause more damage than what it fixed. The fact that the brass was holding all that was left of the steel cores inside showed what the lamps went thru just by the passage of time. Reaping brass is an art unto itself and look at instruments that have been restored of from nearly being crushed on KZbin to see how their reduced.🎺

Some acoustic panels on your shop ceiling would improve the sound quality of your narration. Love these videos.

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

Have fun on the river with your grandson. Sounds like s great way to spend some time with Grandkids.

quelques images du Colorado ! et bravo pour votre travail. Pierre de Vierzon France.

[@robertbamford8266]

Thanks for the video. If you have a chance in a subsequent video, I would enjoy it if you could explain about the roller tool. The adjustments, etc. just curiosity. Have a great time with your grandson - don’t want the cricks to rise, but hope you have enough water to float your boat!

[@rayclark44]

Great video Rick showing more of your skills. I'm already looking forward to the next installment. Wishing you a lovely family holiday. Take care & stay safe.

Perhaps built by Mr. Gleason, a skilled lampmaker like yourself.

Enjoy your break and we’ll be here when you get back.

Thanks Rick

thanks rick

Great video, talk about labour intensive!

[@jjbode1]

I've already improved my soldering skill doing repairs at home after watching you in your shop. Thanks! Hope to see you July 2.

[@EDP1]

have tons off fun .

[@bobvines00]

Rick, what soldering flux do you use? The solder looks (to me) like Plumbers' solder, but they use acid flux, which is corrosive. Do you perhaps use one of the electronics-type fluxes instead? Could you talk a bit (in a future video) about your choices of solder alloy and flux(es) _and_ why you choose to use them? Curious minds want to know! I hope that you and your Grandson have a great time floating the river! I'm jealous. When my Grandson reached the minimum-required age (16) for the spelunking tour in Mammoth Cave, I took him to that, like my Dad did for me. Have a great time with your Grandson and family!

[@mikebaldwin9972]

Have a good time with your family and enjoy your trip…..

[@eddiestipe4768]

Have fun on the river. Every body needs time off. Have fun and enjoy the family. As for the the tag with the name check for a funeral home in New York.

[@deanehill9730]

Thanks and have a nice break going down the river. Is there a chance one time you could show us your soldering technique Interested in the tip size, type of filler and why sometimes you wipe the flux and sometimes not. See you next time.

[@royreynolds108]

Have a great trip.

Nice job finessing the cone using a pressure differential on the slip roll-

Thanks for sharing!

[@49walker44]

Have you worked with or have knowledge of cartridge brass, specifically forming rim fire cases. They start with a disc and form it into closed tube after which the rim is formed SOMEHOW. I've tried every firearm source I can think of with no luck. While watching your video the thought hit me you might have run across some info in your travels. Thanks, keep up the great work you do.

[@TheLuminaryShoppe]

The brass I use is actually classified as "cartridge brass" I buy it in 36"x96" sheets, dead soft temper. Modern ammunition cartridges are made by deep drawing processes.

[@paulomeyer3900]

Have fun!

[@arnhemseptember2009]

Enjoy your trip to the max!!

[@striperman01]

I’m a new subscriber and have really enjoyed your videos. I’m curious, how big are the rolls of solder you purchase for your work?

[@TheLuminaryShoppe]

5lbs

It's like Stanley Steamer and the carpet cleaning company Stanley Steemer.

I can't believe how long those tails are.

Do you have a meal at Phantom Ranch reserved?

[@TheLuminaryShoppe]

Phantom Ranch had very limited visitation because of covid risks to people that stay there. We didn't stop.

[@williamwelsh5855]

@@TheLuminaryShoppe Too bad. They put out a good steak dinner.

[@liebelschlesinger9612]

Why can't the tail be made out of one long piece? Why is there a joint behind that ring?

[@baronweber6801]

What flux do you use?

[@bezalelgeretz]

Why are you forcing the green snips to cut left? I can see that you have a pair of red snips on your bench.

[@TheLuminaryShoppe]

Just grabbed the wrong ones. It is a lot easier to use the correct snips when cutting in a curve.
