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:)
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!
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!
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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 . 👌🏻
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.
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,,
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)
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 :-)
Very nice job what a feature too in the house - brilliant Nice to see the ( what looked like Moore + Wright ) internal callipers make an appearance too 👍🏻
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!
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
Awesome video Crispin ! Great to see you do a bit of freestyling - no real plans just some imagination , a rough idea , a bit of skill and you end up with something to be proud of !
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.
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.
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?
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 :-)
Interesting - nice work as always, pretty sure you're right about the candle, I had one similar years ago, the top end had a cap with a hole for the wick and the spring pushed the candle up as it burned. If left unlit it would gradually extrude the candle over a few weeks which always amused me, little things please little minds they say.
Looks good Crispin. Now lets see you land your hat on it from across the room.
Nice work! You may wish to consider an LED candle light - they are surprisingly realistic (and safer) without the heat and tarnishing.
Chris
But boring, a real flame is so much better.
I agree!

Good point!
If you like to see guys filing small things, look up clickspring, he does some absolutely fabulous work
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.
Indeed, that was very interesting.
And good choice on the candle. So much better than electric.
Well done... well done indeed Mr. Crispin. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
A beautiful piece ! With a slightly insane amount of work. You are, I am sure you will agree, a bit mad. And thank you !
Splendid job sir. The mount certainly does the lantern justice.
@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.
Yes in some circumstances you can't beat a sharp edge. (not all but some)
Nice illuminating job Crispin. Horncastle eh, my old back yard being a Lincoln lad originally. Antique central. Cheers, Jon
Indeed!
Nothing like a good bit of filing to remind one why we have machine tools! Very nicely done.
Indeed!
Great work Mr. Crispin! I liked the precision squashing and hand finishing.
The amount of handwork required made me think I was watching Tom Lipton for a minute. 😎
That was great thanks. My dad would consider four of those to be a central heating system.
Well, four is the only correct number for candles.

lovely looking lamp, beautifully accompanied by the wall mounting.
Best of luck making another one. 👍

Dezincification happens in boiler bushes.
It's nice to see a somewhat "off piste" video from time to time and a fine result. Thank you.
Beautiful holder for a beautiful lantern - that's a fine example of home improvement!

Beautifully done and great idea putting one of those lovely lamps on the wall.
nice handmade piece mr crispin, well done !
Machine shop art at its finest! Kudos!
Thanks

excellent, that looks splendid
"The Luminary Shoppe" youtube channel can help you with any questions you have about the lamp... excellent job! greetings from Argentina
Thanks
Well done Mr Crispin. The choice of music almost had me marching in my computer room.
Great piece of antiquity and a lovely mount for sure. Thanks for the video, it was quite entertaining. Cheers Mr.C!
Thanks
Very Nice, Mr Crispin. I think you do Excellent work and I enjoy your sense of Humor,
Many thanks
Absolutely love it!
Your skills in precision in this video are down to the micron! OUTSTANDING! 😅
Thanks
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
Thanks
Thankyou, MrCrispin, nice work.
Thanks
Archery's favourite machinist.
Lol
Nice to see you lined up the screw heads.
Well that put a smile on my dial! Thanks!
Good!
Magnificent
I do enjoy watching your videos MrCrispin, thanks for your efforts
Thanks
Thanks, you never cease to amaze!
High praise!
Absolute brilliance! 👏👏👏😎👍
Thanks
Definitely interesting and a great success. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Awesome... thanks for sharing
Very nice job what a feature too in the house - brilliant
Nice to see the ( what looked like Moore + Wright ) internal callipers make an appearance too 👍🏻
Thanks
Classic beauty. To the atomic garage Jeeves.
Mr. C, that was nuthin but cool!
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!
Brilliant. Very nice work.
Evening Mr Crispin 🤠 Hope you’re keeping well 👍🏻 Long time wait for a video but well worth it 😀 That antique carriage light was beautiful 🤩
Thanks
Aside from the usual excellent machining it was good to see some fine benchwork being carried out 🙂
Thanks
Very illuminating...
I'll get my coat.
Quite the artist Mr. Crispin.
Thanks
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thanks
Great job and awesome video. Like see machining and the thought process to go into ideas of making stuff work
Thanks
and to my amazement. i stupidly commented before the end , only to see you had actually done it. very well done sir.
Lol
Awesome! Even the slots of the two screws are parallel and horizontal.
What a great idea crispin and nice machining.
Thanks

Gday, the wall mount turned out floorless, it really looks beautiful hanging on the wall, thanks for sharing, cheers
Thanks
Ornate & Brilliant...
Thanks
filing builds character and in the case provides proper fit and ornamentation.
I always enjoy your videos immensely.
Thanks
Very nice work! Looks great on the wall.

Absolutely Top Drawer !!
Superb my friend. Couldn't have done it better myself!! Lol. Thanks for the video...really enjoyed it. Cheers!!
Thanks
Wonderful job using scrap metal thanks for sharing your many skills 🦘👍
Superb! A mix of Crispin and Clickspring almost :) Lovely job.
Thanks
Very tasteful! Congrats to a job well done.
Thanks
I like Mr. Crispin disaster!
That's my kind if engineering
Lovely work Mr C.
Thanks
That looks great!
Brilliant very energy efficient

Nice story!
Thank you very nicely done.
Excellent work, very nice 👍🏻
Very nice. Great job. 👍🇦🇺
Thanks
A fine piece of work
Thanks
That’s pretty awesome
Oddly satisfying!
Great Job and well done.🛠🛠👍
Thanks
@@MrCrispinEnterprises Your Welcome.
Thanks for sharing! What did miss Crispin think? They make LED tea candles stand-ins.
very nice.
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?
I set them both horizontal!
came out excellent
Thanks
Fantastic!
