Hi John my mate's & myself used to use these lamp's for nighttime fishing on the beach , but found them to be a pain tbh , when they worked they were brilliant , we change over to gas camping lamp's in the end , take care
I can see why Steve lol. I just wanted a project, and getting the satisfaction of getting it working. I think I prefer the hurricane lamps, they are very simple.
The problem with these lamps John is they need a lot more maintenance than the Hurricane lamps. The vapouriser tube has a tendancy to rust internally and once that happens the vapouriser tube is scrap and it's expensive to replace. I have a few of these pressure lamps and it's a never ending job keeping them running. They do make a nice hiss when running and also nice and bright
A nice winter project John ⛺️
Yes keeps my mind ticking over, really enjoy things like this. Part 2 coming up shortly.

I heated the tube up and quenched it in oil. It seems to have worked. But I agree faffing about with mantles, I just had to have a go with one lol.
Evening John I’m just wondering what’s the nut cracker for 👍
Ha Ha, getting hold of something round with a cloth wrapped around. Couldn't be bothered going to the toolbox .....worked though! lol
@@johnpawson7400 good bit of a compromise thought you might of finishing the Christmas nuts off 🤣🤣👍
G’day John, you better watch Woza doesn’t knock that lamp off 😂
