Once again, an amazing restoration Dr. Beer... Not perfect, you say? Yes, it is. It is even more than perfect. All your dedication for the sake of making another human being happy, is simply wonderful. The result -really- is something to be proud of and the best thing is, you have made someone very happy; more than that I imagine; the lantern must have sentimental value for him. I predict this is the best gift he has had in a long time. Thanks so much for sharing with us, I was really looking forward to a new project. I really appreciate the trouble and time you are taking with filming and editing the result so meticulously, it is highly appreciated. The patina, you left with enamel, is really an addition to the project. :-)
What are you doing to me???? I sit here reading the comments and try to answer all of them and out of nowhere yours pops up. Thank you so much. knowing that you've been there since a while watching and commenting on my videos is already something. But realizing how you sat down and thinking of and typing such a kind feedback really means the world to me. Thank you so much. See you soon!
You're more than welcome bro. A big thank *you* for sharing your lovely and amazing content; I hope you will keep doing this :-) It is a great honor to see you take the time to read the comments you've been given, but also take the time to comment to those as well :-) I am humbled. How did the recipient respond to the finished product?
My grandfather was a train engineer and worked at the railroad for many years. There is actually an old train lantern mounted outside maybe 20 feet from where I am at this very moment. My grandpa converted it to be an outside light that works with a switch inside. This really makes me wish I could restore it. Not only as an homage to him, but also because the electrics might be old and dangerous. We don't use it much, as it's really just for aesthetics and doesn't provide much light, but it does get occasionally flipped on and it worries me. However, I do still love seeing it work after all these years and love that it reminds me of him.
As an American rail enthusiast who owns some lanterns himself (eight of them from six US railroads), I have to admit that you did a real nice job in restoring that lantern. Hopefully its owner enjoys it for years to come.
Apologies if this is already in the comments - but was your friend's father pleased? I was thinking "this is so wonderful, but what if the father wanted to keep the electrical option?" and then you added it at the end! Your respect for the pieces you're working on is the reason you're my favorite. You can see it in how gently you pulled back the stays on the glass.
Perfect! I agree with another viewer that it's the best one yet. The owner was thrilled no doubt. Great job once again doc. Like your restorations so much it's difficult to watch 90% of the other guys on TH-cam. If you're ever in America I would love to shake your hand!
It was such fun to see you doing this marathon. It's such an honor to know that you liked the videos so much. I'm working on the next project and I'm looking forward to see your name popping of again. Thank you Roger. Where will I find you in the US?
@@NTRprojects I'm in a small town in western North Carolina. The town is Burnsville. It's in my beloved Appalachian mountains. I wish I had found you on You Tube much sooner but just retired last year. I have certainly learned a lot and enjoyed the videos so much! Please keep going with these fascinating and beautiful restorations.
This is more than a labour of love, this is an item with huge sentimental value. You absolutely did it's story justice, and I could not be more impressed with your dedication and attention to detail.
Very well done, good job on leaving the enamel alone, looks better that way. great job on sourcing the lantern for the lamp. making it whole was a wonderful decision. I think I would rate the restoration 9/10 and I doubt I could have done any better.
History is a fantastic tool for learning our future. I think you do on all of your projects. A GREAT job and I could not even think of being so great @ this job. Thank you for the videos you and the TEAM make. Eastern Canada says HI
Sowohl faszinierend, als auch "traurig". Je älter ich werde, desto mehr verbinde ich meine alten Dinge mit Erinnerungen. Viele Schrammen und Dellen haben eine Geschichte, die man erzählen kann oder an die man sich erinnert. Wenn diese Schrammen und Dellen verschwinden, verschwinden auch die Erinnerungen. So wie Narben, die verblassen.
Alte Menschen brauchen viel Licht (Alterssichtigkeit, Grauer Star, usw.). Hoffentlich hat er Freude daran - ich hab bei so Projekten immer sorgen, ob es gut ankommt. Für den Indoor-Dauer-Einsatz würde vielleicht eine Feuer-LED passen. Ist trotzdem sehr sehr schön geworden!
The makers and users of this probably could never have guessed how much attention and care this would be given in the future. This was a spectacular restoration. You are so talented, right up there with tysy restoration and my mechanics. You deserve millions of subs.
“I got a new wick, I named it John”. Very good, very good. 😂😂 Excellent job restoring the lamp. Well done. I’m so glad Mr. Patina recommended your channel. I’m enjoying it immensely.
Amazing restoration! I love the brass screws you used and how you combined it with the parts you nickel plated, great contrast to the black color! And it’s so nice of you that you restored this for your friends dad, I’m sure he will enjoy! Thank you very much for that Video Dr. Beer!
Care and detail. You will always get a good result when you take your time. An old Polish window washer (Michael) taught me to always clean glass with slightly dirty soapy water and to use a razor blade with the glass wet to prevent possible scratching. He passed 30+ years ago but his knowledge lives on.
@@NTRprojects I Believe he said the little particles of dirt act like a very mild abrasive. He would sprinkle a small amount of soil from the flower pot into the bucket of soapy water before he started. He also kept a razor blade in his mouth while he cleaned but I don't recommend that one.
Awesome restoration. Guarantee it is now better than it ever was “new”. I’m afraid my OCD would have forced me to redo the enamel inside the shades. You did well to resist the urge! Cheers! ~ John from Ohio, USA
" It may not be perfect " WHAT ? The work you have done, the techniques you have used, the effort and love you have put towards the lovely restoration. It IS worthy to be called Perfect. Thank you for sharing the video.
A wonderful story with an epic restoration of something not so old but very thoughtfully restored for the sake of the story. Great appreciation for your details and passion! Thanks Much!
Toll geworden. Und die kleinen Schrammen im Email .... Halloooooo, das Teil hat über 50 Jahre aufm Buckel, da ist das nostalgisch. Hoffe der Empfänger hat sich gefreut.
I couldn't find any other way or tool to do it, so I tried my only idea and it worked out. Was a nice moment I have to admit. I'm glad you enjoyed the project.
That was just beautiful 😍! I'm glad you lit it! I also cringed on when you tried to pop the spot weld. I was waiting for the glass to break with my breath held. I would have loved to seen the reaction of the customer's father's face ! Just outstanding!
Absolutely brilliant restoration, i think it is perfect . I'd love to have seen his face when he had it for is birthday . I bet it brought a tear to his eye 👍
This is a perfect one!! What a beautiful restoration!! A real labour of love. I totaly love the restored materials, the nickelplated parts on the jet black, the copper, just perfect. I would love to see the face of the owner when he get’s it back! 😉 Be proud!
Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von deiner Arbeit. Unglaubliches Ergebnis, kann mir vorstellen, dass ihr Vater sich enorm freut, dass du diese Lampe in neuer Schönheit erstrahlen lässt ✨ mach weiter so tolle Videos
Amazing restoration, superb finish which is representative of the hours that you put into it. Loved the use of the putty, which I absolutely adore the smell of 😊😊
Perfect restoration: your care and attention to details really shows, and your filming and editing keeps getting better. I love the enamel and I think you truly made this justice.

Hey Kevin. This means a lot especially because you are enthusiastic for train lanterns
Wonderful restoration, and for a very good reason. It's so thoughtful that you included the electrical cord, as an option. Well done, Sir!
Excellently done. I'm sure it will be a great birthday gift.
I will find out in August. Thanks a lot J.
Truly amazing work and results. Wouldn't it have been nice to see the birthday boy with his gift?
He will receive it in august. dont know if he will like to see himself on youtube :D
I love your attention to detail. The small Imperfections that you fix is what I love about restoration videos.
Very kind of you. Thank you for watching and commenting. Best regards
Very satisfying to watch. I know your friend's dad will treasure it.

Glad you liked it so much!!!
Your best one so far. Your creativity and craftsmanship is incredible!

Hi, this is a stunning job. Tastefully and expertly restored with respect for the original piece. Brilliant, thank you. 👏👏
That turned out really well. You have incredible talent.
Thank you so much Bob
Everything about this project made me smile 😊
Great job, and what a beautiful old lantern. 👍👍👍
Yes it is a beauty and the red glass is a delight
Beautiful. Such a care and detailed work. With “oil” became more charming. Hope her father enjoys the “new” gift.
Using the smoker/oven thingy as a paint booth is GENIUS!
Thank you nIna. I even built in a ventilation by now
was für eine klasse Restauration!
Besten Dank Ampelfreund

David I'm pleased to receive such a nice feedback
I think you made all the right choices with this lantern. It's a wonderful result.
Thank you once again Jozsef
Superb!
I have always said that a restoration is a work of art. And here you prove it once again.
Thank you so much Jaime😀
The oil lamp insert is fantastic what a beautiful restoration and upgrade. A+ !
Thank you Derek!!!
Beautiful restoration!
Thank you very much!
Thats a beautiful restoration sir, great craftsmanship.
"It's not perfect" he says! Mate, it's absolutely stunning! I hope your friend's Dad really enjoyed it. Bravo!
Simply EXCELLENT. In my opinion, it looks better than the original new one. Thanks. Enjoyed watching your work ... as usual.
You've got it right on the money. Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed.
Thanks a lot Paul. Glad you came back
You did a great job on it looks fantastic.
Beautiful restoration
Beautiful job! I think it looks so much better without the electrical cord sticking out of it. Thank you for saving this small piece of history.
Thank you Micah. I also like it way better with the petroleum burner
Stunning renovation!
What a lovely B-Day present...It looks beautiful!
You did a beautiful job turning a beat up, rusty, dirty lantern into a piece of art. Well done!
Thank you Michael. Much appreciated
Love the window sealant (Fensterkitt) - its a bit smelly but so nice to work with.
Thanks for your work!
Amazing! As all your restorations... I just want to watch more and more!
Your friend needs tuition on pouring a beer - bring out more bottles! Great restoration and great production! All the best
I think she was just really excited about the camera 😁
One of my dearest friends collected train lanterns and he would have been amazed by your restoration. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Patricia that was touching
Wonderful as always. Thank you, Ed

Love the re-instaling petroleum lamp!
You take the right decisions how far to without going too far!
I just realized, I’m older than the lamp! If I get a restoration too, can I come out as fantastic as the lamp? I’m in awe at your talent.
I doubt you need restoration Tanya ;)
