Davy Lamp Restoration [Miners Lamp] 

I bought this little Heater from an Antiques Shop In Mablethorpe Lincolnshire. This shop was over flowing with items from the last 100 years, ranging from porcelain ornaments to old fashioned
kettles. A very interesting shop which gave a lot of information on how we used to live. The Lamp cost me £12 and fish and chip dinner for the Mrs. Bargain.
I knew this lamp had a lot of rotten mesh in it and I did look it over a few times in the shop before I bought it. I wasn’t sure what I would need to do to access these internal parts.
When working on items like this with numerous soldered parts close together it is very difficult to work on one part without unsoldering another part.Thank fully I have a few years soldering experience which helped a lot on this project. I think it turned out great and I love the finished look. Please feel free to leave a comment below or better still you could Subscribe so you don’t miss my next Project.

This is a hobby for me which I enjoy doing in my spare time. I am not a professional restorer, Painter or fabricator and I know some of my techniques may not be upto the standards of some professionals on here. Having said that if you think you know a better way to complete these works I would be happy to listen, I will learn from each project to bring you not only a nicer finished piece but also a cleaner piece of editing. Please leave your comments below and ill do my best to reply to them.
Kind Regards Unique Restorations
