Keith Black Posted March 21, 2019 #1 Posted March 21, 2019 I made this lantern from .250 inch dowel turned using a drill, jeweler's file, and X-Acto knife. The cage is 24 gauge brass wire, the bail is 22 gauge brass wire. I painted before adding the wire and completed the lantern before parting. The real tricky part was cutting the cage wire the correct length to press into the the top and bottom purchase points then used SG to secure. From base to top of bail is .650 inches, with bail collapsed the height is .500 inches. druxey, mtaylor, kurtvd19 and 13 others 15 1 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration
