Today I'm restoring this 1912 Pony No 21 Lantern.
This item was sent to me by good friend Steve.

I received this over 12 months ago but I waited until I had all the tools required to be able to restore this to a level I would be satisfied with.
This might look like an easy project but it has taken me a good 6 weeks to complete.
I found this to be one of the most challenging projects I have completed so far.
Turning the new base and inner pieces was something I had never tried before so this took a bit of practice to get it right. I seemed to have drama after drama along the way but it all came together in the end,

Receiving comments is one of the best things about restoration work, it makes it all worth while.

You are one of the few real restoration craftsmen on YouTube! I'm so fed up with the disassemble -wash-reassemble-paint-done restorations that are everywhere. Just stumbled across your channel today and became an immediate subscriber. Fine work, please keep it up.
