Well I got it done. I'm typing this one handed lol, left arm is useless. I ain't seen my bed in two days but got pics. I liked the way it came out, I hope you all do too. I'm gonna figure out a way to do some good with these old lanterns, not sure how yet.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Lite up and the pic of three, the one in the middle is my next victim lol, it will have a blue globe. I will have red white and blue and will light them on Memorial day, Independence day, Veterans day and when people are in need of prayer. Cheesy lol, I know but it's what I can do from here.

I do a vinegar water bath in a 5 gal bucket. And use a 4 inch brass wheel on a drill for now. It works but will be making a electrolysis tank this coming spring. I also chuck rifle cleaning brushes to get in the narrow spots. When you get it to bare metal choose what you like for a finish. The linseed oil is great, it makes the metal turn gray, black over time. If you like the shiney tinney look then use a high heat clear spray paint. Thank you for your service!

Catch22 - Man those lanterns are real beauties, very nice work. I really like your idea of the tri-color lanterns for the service remembrances. I think I will borrow your idea to greet my son if he ever gets home on leave. He has only been able to come home twice since 2013.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I enjoy bringing them back. All my sisters are lovers of God, I'm the heath'en. They have quoted Psalms 119 105 and it's sinking in. They told me I could do some good, I'm thinking maybe I can with Hospice or something. We'll see.....
