I've been using this machine to stencil ammunition boxes for the army almost 20 years now and to be honest it takes a while to get the hang of it. First of all although using a lot of paint will get the job done faster it becomes very messy very fast. I get much better results when i have barely enough paint on the brush/applicator so it requires about 10 passes or even more but the stencils are much more precise. Make sure to have a clean rug around to wipe the board's face and back regularly cause it will gather paint residue and it will ruin your work. The only problem with making a lot of passes with little paint is you need to make sure the board doesnt move on you so hold it firm or use some tape to stay put. There's something very fullfilling about using these old ways of doing things. Sorry for my bad english, not my primary language.
I think the stencil issue is simply because it was being pulled up and moved around a little as you went over with the roller. Maybe secure the stencil with a couple pieces of masking tape.
I think you're right and I'd probably also cut off the excess length of the stencil so one could ideally tape down all 4 sides tightly so it couldn't move.
Used that same style machine to stencil all the military trucks and aircraft throughout my career along with all the gear we didn't want to grow legs and walk off.
That plastic funnel works great. If you stuff it in the fuel fill hole tight enough to make a seal it won’t let you overfill and prevents spills. I have the old copper ones too but they stay on the shelf.
Our lanterns we just bought because of your suggestion were used with regular unleaded over the weekend. A bit rough when starting but once running they were bright and awesome just like our propane lanterns. Thanks brother and we will use premium from now on most likely, until the time comes when it is unavailable. Hopefully never haha.
If you want to make the hardware look older, you can easily remove the zinc coating by soaking the hardware in a solution of citric acid. I used powdered citric acid for canning
I tent came at least four weeks every year and I've been doing it for 25 years. Hunting out west, hunting/fishing around home, and some camping for fun on family property. I have three Colman lanterns. Use them all the time. I only use white gas. Colman used to make a neat spring loaded funnel that screwed onto the the white gas can and sealed on the lantern - no muss no fuss. I haven't seen them in stores for a long time. I have a couple of them. There are all kinds of new things out there for camping. I STILL have my patrol table and kitchen I made 24 years ago. The patrol table is a good project and it makes a heck of a knock down picnic table for camping.
I have been watching you for years. Please don't take this the wrong way, as I say this with kindness my friend. I am a subscriber and I tune in to each video you post. I just wanted to point out that you do have women who tune in to your channel as well at "Gentlemen". I really enjoy your channel and always look forward to your next video. I love the stories you tell about your Granddad and the fact that you have some of his tools. You are a very good teacher of values and morals. I sure hope some of our younger generation has someone in there lives such as you to look up to. Please keep doing what you are doing and I will keep tuning in gentleman!
And yet, no one chastises the craft channels I watch when they greet everyone with "Ladies.". I'm glad you are here but your " problem" is a tempest in a teacup.
Awesome kit! I'm a sucker for doing things the "old way". I use my over 110 year old oil lantern weekly to this day. I buy oil and wick, and I ALWAYS have light. I carry a flashlight that cost over $100 and I've still been left without light a handful of times. But my trusty oil lantern hasn't failed me yet. My dad has an older Coleman lantern like yours that he was given by his father. We still use it now and again when we need some light where there is none. This stuff just works! It HAS worked, DOES work and WILL continue to work! I have nothing against new technology, but I also live by the saying, "They don't make things the way they used to" 100%. They laugh at me now with their bright battery powered lanterns, but someday I might just have the last laugh... and I'll be glad to share my light with my neighbors when that day comes!
At first I thought this was a little frivolous then I realized how neat this really is. I use a digital label maker for everything in my shop so I really get a kick out of how old school this is.
I still find it frivolous regardless. But if you have the money to waste then it why not. Nothing will beat a good sharpie when you run out of batteries or labels for the digital machine or paint and paper for the letter punch. I am sure the stencil comes in handy when you have 500 items on a conveyor belt to label but other than that, it is just for vanity or cosmetic reasons.
From a purely practical point of view it is frivolous for home use but it's fun and you will be in demand from friends. This sort of thing you can always sell and get your money back which negates the cost if you have the surplus.
spray the back of the cardboard with glue from an aerosol can and press it down. Paint is seeping past the edges of the letters. Leave it on for a minute or 2. Make sure you use glue that holds it in place but peels off easily. The glue they use to hold T-shirts down to be printed should work.
I didn't think of the glue or rubber cement thing but I was definitely thinking about how it seeped along the backside of the stencil. it also didn't look like he cleaned the back of it off in-between each time (unless I just missed it) and was basically stamping the same overrun each time.
That replica of yours is quite nice. 3:31 Ooops a glitch in the Matrix! 😆 You get 6 trys to get it right! I realize the spongy roller is cool, but a quick spray with a rattle can might be a little cleaner. Yet, practice make perfect right? I can see you now stenciling everything the shop. 🤣 That Marsh is a very tool for sure.
The thing about white gas is that an unopened can will just about last forever, unleaded gasoline, even if treated, especially the ethanol crap will not last a year. Great box!
I recently bought a home and will be watching more and more of your videos to become the "professional homeowner" I know I can be! Thanks for everything you do!
I think when lifting the roller up and repositioning it for the second pass might possibly give a better result. When only going back am forth the same parts of the roller is touching the same part of the stencil another time. If there is not enough paint on the roller it won't paint properly. By repositioning it could help
Glue stick on the back of the stencil will help hold it in place, and help prevent leaking and seepage. It also cleans off real easy. The glue stick that is.
I just built one too and followed your instructions I didn’t take notice that you build yours out of 1x5 and ended up building it out of 1x6. It has a little extra wiggle room but it give me space to put a larger rag on the side. Im planning on building a similar box for the coleman 295 i just bought
Awesome project!!.I have been wanting to build wood boxes for my lanterns. I have one duel fuel the rest are the original style. But I run unleaded fuel in all of them and my stoves. They work fine. In fact my wife took a picture of me and our younger boy cooking breakfast out on the porch. It was winter. Power was off and we were using the table saw as a stand for the camp stove
Great recreation. I enjoy watching you demonstrate that you can just go and do stuff. It's ok to learn by doing and many people could benefit by doing the same. Thanks for sharing 👍
Can’t wait to see what else is in store for the series! Hope you had a great trip at your undisclosed location…. Hopefully you were able to see some of the places recommended to you when you arrived!
You can create stencils using 3D printer if you don't have anything else. Works great, you can make 3D model in few minutes if you know basics, but it takes hour or so to print.
The old gasoline/white gas lanterns are great. I used propane lanterns some as well but favor the liquid fuel. This was brought to my attention when heading to river one evening to night fish. My propane cylinders were near empty and gas station didn’t sell them. Guess what a gas station does have..unleaded gas, imagine that. After that the propane lanterns are for more well planned trips not spur of the moment stuff like this instant.
These Coleman dual fuel lanterns look brilliant. It seems that Coleman dual fuel lanterns and stoves are not being brought into Australia anymore and are near impossible to find 🙁
The original label maker! I have no idea how much that is, but I want one yesterday... My first job out of high school, I was responsible for repurposing military ammunition boxes. Pulling labels/staples and re-inking the labeling on the wooden ammo cases. This takes me back.
Those old lanterns will run on unleaded as well, but (supposedly) after a few years of use, will damage the generator. Have never needed to try it, had a few old times that used um that way for a long time with no issues (& not the dual fuel...). Nice box, I've got a storage spot in my chuck box that I made for all that, lol!
If I'm not mistaken you are not supposed to use premium gas in the lanterns. It should be regular. Because of the octane additives in premium. I could be wrong but that's what I remember being told.
I have many of these coleman lanterns and stoves from 1940s through the 90s and run them all on unleaded, never had a problem, my dad and grandpa ran them on gasoline as far back as I can remember.
It’s an old antiquated tool until a storm knocks out your power for a week and suddenly it becomes an absolute necessity. It’s like a generator, nobody wants em till they lose power and they sell out so quick you can’t get one.
When I was the kid my grandfather had a hunting cabin that was 10 miles off the road. And it had 3 rooms and each room have a lantern up a lantern up on a shelf and they were all fed with 3 gates copper tubing being used for a gas line from the propane tank pain pain and we had a propane refrigerator and stove. The kitchen had the sink it just drained onto the ground outside and it was fed by a picture pump. Wish I was still back in those times
I prefer the white gas lantern’s and cook stoves over propane for a couple reasons they are cheaper to operate than propane. One filling of white gas in a lantern will out last one of those little propane tanks about 3 to 1 and you can use gasoline in them.
The excess board hanging off the sides of the box is lifting the stencil. It's not flush against the box, causing some paint bleed and some poor coverage. Trim or support.
I actually just built one for my gas Lateran but I put a crown on all the way around the top and used a rope handle so the top had no protrusions and I can stack the boxs
A couple weeks ago I was given a ‘70s model Colman white gas stove with a stand. In extremely good condition. We’re kept stored in an elderly man’s climate controlled basement. Excited to go through it and get it cooking again!
I'll stick to my Kerosene Huricane lamps made by Dietz still. I've got old originals, New Old Stock, and new ones. Kerosene lasts a good long time when stored properly. Even older technology that I would argue is a bit more durable than the White Gas lanterns.
I always wanted one, but laser became available at local makerspace, I use card stock to laser cut the stencils. Spray clear coat first then whatever the color I want.
White gas will not go bad within your lifetime, and probably not within your kids lifetime. Keep it sealed and keep moisture from building up in the container and it will last "forever." Additionally, you can leave white gas sit in your lanternwithout it gumming up clogging the pick up tube in your lantern. In fact, most collectors will say you should leave white gas in your lantern fount as opposed to storing it dry. Of course, if you run the lantern often none of this is much of an issue.
I still have my lantern bout 20 yrs old.. has surface rust but I'm thinking of get a knew one.. I feel like it might explode because I barely ever use it know and ran it the other day and it wasnt as bright . Also sounded weird but their was no leaks. I checked before starting it up with a lighter.
Personally I would have used a double sided loop of painters tape or just tape the stencil down with painters tape and use spray paint to ink the stencil.

Stencil adhesive would fix this issue

Yup. Masking 101. A light mist of Repositonable Spray Adhesive on the stencil would hold the edges down and leave no residue on the box
That replica of yours is quite nice.

To get the latch to fit tighter increase the bend to shorten the latch.
I still use my oil lamps every time the power goes out, and one of my most prized possessions is my grandad's old railroad lantern with red glass!
Can't wait for the lantern version, to see the matching set
The thing about white gas is that an unopened can will just about last forever, unleaded gasoline, even if treated, especially the ethanol crap will not last a year.
Great box!
We used those same stencils in the navy except with paint pens instead of the applicator.
Me too. Army.
I still have the brush that was used on canvas. I found one that was being sent to salvage.
I love these lanterns and have quite a few. You should definitely make the lantern box. I did one about 10 years ago and love it.
I recently bought a home and will be watching more and more of your videos to become the "professional homeowner" I know I can be!
Thanks for everything you do!
Good results for the first try. Thanks for showing us another new tool.
You could try mixing glow powder in to the paint, then even in the dark you will even be able to find the gas can to fill up, if you have run out.
I think when lifting the roller up and repositioning it for the second pass might possibly give a better result.
When only going back am forth the same parts of the roller is touching the same part of the stencil another time. If there is not enough paint on the roller it won't paint properly. By repositioning it could help

The machine reminds me of the old Dymo Label Makers with the plastic tape type labels.
Those are really handy. I got one cheap with a ton of replacement plastic strip at a yard sale. Will never need to be charged and just works.
I have many of these coleman lanterns and stoves from 1940s through the 90s and run them all on unleaded, never had a problem, my dad and grandpa ran them on gasoline as far back as I can remember.

Check out old Coleman parts. Anything you could ever want for Coleman lanters
Paint job quality looks good enough for west coast standards only.

Jack will have one on his forehead soon!!
I think you need to find a way to press the stencil down much more and ensure it does not move at all
That was absolutely fascinating! You are probably the most interesting person I have never met
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@wranglerstar yours is my favorite channel on UA-cam.
Cool tool, I was not aware these existed. Here I have been using a cricket and free shipping envelopes to make all of mine.
A Coleman single burner Sportster duel fuel stove would go nicely with that kit. I love mine. I think I may build a similar box for mine.

Yeah I was thinking he should tape it down first or something similar.
Interesting trivia. Printer press ink is rubber based. And it doesn't dry. It's absorbed into the paper
The parachute riggers have this machine. I did my name and SSN while on chute shakeout duty. Still have it.
I actually just built one for my gas Lateran but I put a crown on all the way around the top and used a rope handle so the top had no protrusions and I can stack the boxs
Might as well do a Coleman stove kit as well
So cool! I’m looking forward to the series.
A couple weeks ago I was given a ‘70s model Colman white gas stove with a stand. In extremely good condition. We’re kept stored in an elderly man’s climate controlled basement. Excited to go through it and get it cooking again!
I would love to see you review the LTT screwdriver!
How cool would it be to build a box with a divider that holds the lantern too
Think the stencil cam out good has character
You can make a candle lantern out of a glass jar and tie wire. Much more affordable that the commercial ones.
The perfectionist at work again. Love it!!
God bless you Sir 🙏 ❤️
I think that you did a great job of getting it done.
It turned out nice man 👍 It looks great!
We used the very same machine to stencil airplanes back in the ol' days.
But we spray painted instead of rolling
This was pretty cool! Thank you
Was the stencil material too thick?
Good job!
Always worked, always will. God bless.

Durable yes, poor light quality, though,

People prefer to spend money on liabilities,Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable..
You're so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few luxuries relatives to on's total assets ratio
I invested in both stock and Cry ptő but I'm doing much better on Cry ptő with the favourable market price.
Old tech is really cool because we can still use it
that is a very cool device
That's a lovely old thing. Is it as satisfying to punch each letter as it looks and sounds?
I always wanted one, but laser became available at local makerspace, I use card stock to laser cut the stencils. Spray clear coat first then whatever the color I want.
White gas is way more shelf stable. Doesn't go bad nearly as quick as regular unleaded.
Also burns cleaner.
White gas will not go bad within your lifetime, and probably not within your kids lifetime. Keep it sealed and keep moisture from building up in the container and it will last "forever." Additionally, you can leave white gas sit in your lanternwithout it gumming up clogging the pick up tube in your lantern.

Good video
I enjoy your videos, very helpful and very professional
You may want to put a couple packs of mantles in there as well.
I'd store those in the box he's going to make for the lantern, along with any spare parts.
The fact that it's old antiquated technology is the whole point.
I'm going to build this :)
Someone needs to turn a copper funnel on a lathe… full fiz would be activated
Is this the guy keeping ace hardware afloat? This seems right up their alley for some reason
Ah, white gas. Good old boy scout water. Lot of fond memories from my old days in the scouts.
I had to search this machine. I found the 1/2 inch version for 175$ so tempted to buy it....lol
Man... he's the coolest
The patent for the incandescent lightbulb is older than the patent for the gas mantle. Which one is antiquated?
Personally I would have used a double sided loop of painters tape or just tape the stencil down with painters tape and use spray paint to ink the stencil.
Very cool.
