Machining a ....... Something Unusual 

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

The amount of handwork required made me think I was watching Tom Lipton for a minute. 😎

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!

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:)

@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.

That was great thanks. My dad would consider four of those to be a central heating system.

Splendid job sir. The mount certainly does the lantern justice.

Great work Mr. Crispin! I liked the precision squashing and hand finishing.

A beautiful piece ! With a slightly insane amount of work. You are, I am sure you will agree, a bit mad. And thank you !

Stunning on the wall.

Beautifully done and great idea putting one of those lovely lamps on the wall.

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!

Indeed, that was very interesting. And good choice on the candle. So much better than electric.

Thanks, you never cease to amaze!

Well done... well done indeed Mr. Crispin. Thank you for sharing.

excellent, that looks splendid

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.

Nice illuminating job Crispin. Horncastle eh, my old back yard being a Lincoln lad originally. Antique central. Cheers, Jon

Beautiful holder for a beautiful lantern - that's a fine example of home improvement!

nice handmade piece mr crispin, well done !

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.

Thankyou, MrCrispin, nice work.

Machine shop art at its finest! Kudos!

Nothing like a good bit of filing to remind one why we have machine tools! Very nicely done.

Awesome... thanks for sharing

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.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

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 . 👌🏻

Fantastic!

It's nice to see a somewhat "off piste" video from time to time and a fine result. Thank you.

Great piece of antiquity and a lovely mount for sure. Thanks for the video, it was quite entertaining. Cheers Mr.C!

That looks great!

Absolute brilliance! 👏👏👏😎👍

Great Work with the Lantern, great tips on turning and thank you for your time.

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,,

Well that put a smile on my dial! Thanks!

Love it!

Magnificent I do enjoy watching your videos MrCrispin, thanks for your efforts

Brilliant. Very nice work.

Oddly satisfying!

That’s pretty awesome

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

Absolutely Top Drawer !!

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 :-)

Well done Mr Crispin.👍👍

Mr. C, that was nuthin but cool!

Nice! Very nice!

Lovely stuff 👍🏻

Very Nice, Mr Crispin. I think you do Excellent work and I enjoy your sense of Humor,

Definitely interesting and a great success. Thank you for sharing.

Very tasteful! Congrats to a job well done.

Lovely work Mr C.

Brilliant very energy efficient

great project.

Absolutely love it! Your skills in precision in this video are down to the micron! OUTSTANDING! 😅

What a great idea crispin and nice machining.

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.

came out excellent

I always enjoy your videos immensely.

Quite the artist Mr. Crispin.

Great job and awesome video. Like see machining and the thought process to go into ideas of making stuff work

Excellent work, very nice 👍🏻

Aside from the usual excellent machining it was good to see some fine benchwork being carried out 🙂

Thank you very nicely done.

Very nice work! Looks great on the wall.

A fine piece of work

Gday, the wall mount turned out floorless, it really looks beautiful hanging on the wall, thanks for sharing, cheers

Archery's favourite machinist.

Ornate & Brilliant...

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 👍🏻

looks good.

"The Luminary Shoppe" youtube channel can help you with any questions you have about the lamp... excellent job! greetings from Argentina

Very nice. Great job. 👍🇦🇺

Classic beauty. To the atomic garage Jeeves.

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 !

Great Job and well done.🛠🛠👍

Nice job!

Awesome! Even the slots of the two screws are parallel and horizontal.

Evening Mr Crispin 🤠 Hope you’re keeping well 👍🏻 Long time wait for a video but well worth it 😀 That antique carriage light was beautiful 🤩

Awesome work as always :)

Wonderful job

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)

Lovely proportions

Nice to see you lined up the screw heads.

Wonderful job using scrap metal thanks for sharing your many skills 🦘👍

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.

and to my amazement. i stupidly commented before the end , only to see you had actually done it. very well done sir.

Thanks for sharing

Very illuminating... I'll get my coat.

Well done Mr Crispin. The choice of music almost had me marching in my computer room.

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

very nice.

Fantastic!!! 👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

Superb my friend. Couldn't have done it better myself!! Lol. Thanks for the video...really enjoyed it. Cheers!!

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.

Superb! A mix of Crispin and Clickspring almost :) Lovely job.

Greetings from Canada sir. I Always like the content!

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!

Nicely done
