    Pretty cool restoration on a pair of Adlake lanterns & neat way to electrify the lanterns, without damaging the main body of the lanterns & can revert back to original use with their burner/ fount assemblies!🙂👍🙂👍

    Loved video ..I'm burning mine but thanks for the tips to make it shine

      Thanks a lot! I cut a large portion of the video where I used some metal polish on the lamps. This had an unexpected affect of "burning" them. They took on a very cool dull darkened look. I opted to steel wool them again to re-shine them for the owner. But I do like them with an aged look as well! Good luck on yours! Thanks again!

      I LOVE THEM! ❤ You are a gifted person and I knew you’d knock it out of the ball park. Now you need to fly up here and enjoy your hard work in its new setting. I can’t thank you enough.
