Would you recommend Annealing the outer tube before assembling and crimping?
These great ol' shed-genius fellers passing on, - Isky, Phil Irving, Bert Munro, Norm Trigg. Thousands like them... the wealth of practical...
I had my RSV jab last week. I thank our lucky stars that we have inspired hard working medical researchers and a medical system to keep tabs on it...
Sounds dead right to me Nils, thanks. So do I refer to it as an Aladdin? or Aus-Aladdin? Radiladdin? Whatever I call it, it is a really handsome...
I'm having some success using a 0.10 High G banjo string, rubbing it down with 1200 wet and dry. It enters a couple of spare jets I have, I just...
Not so happy today Jeff! It's 2 steps forward and one step back with my lovely Radius. Now the pricker wire has broken when I tried to straighten...
I know these (or very similar lamps) as 'Davey Lamps' as used in the Welsh coalmines way, way back.
Whilst I'm at it I might as well include this, my Radius. I can't ever remember this running, it came with the ute-load I got years ago. It needed...
[ATTACH] Interesting Darryl, I might have rigged up something similar, but luckily I found an easier solution. I found I had a shorter used jet,...
So far so good. The new arrangement seems to be working. Pics below, (note no mantle) at first big yellow flame, after a minute or two and closing...
Right I've found an old jet, can't ID it but it's a fair bit shorter so it sits lower and doesn't interfere with the square brass which the...
Thanks Darryl. My lathe is an ancient wobbly (but rather nice) 'Seneca Falls', I'm not sure it would be fine enough for a tiny delicate job like...
Luckily I was able to get a new pricker, however it's not a simple fit and forget. The pricker is mounted in a small brass block, but when the...
Here we go. Before I had my 'health issues' I had ordered these parts, and some of them I can't remember what they are from. I gave away many of...
Also... I need a 'flame-spreader' / burner nozzle. Mine is broken as you can see. I may be able to adapt one from another lamp, but? [ATTACH]
That looks very tasty indeed. Take a look at mine. It doesn't want to go. It flames up in the hood. Pricker and jet looks okay, gets pressure. I'm...
How did you make your pricker Konrad, I have to do one for my Handi. Any tips on reassembly of the pricker spindle rack and pinion? Did you use an...
Damn! My Handi is worse than when I started on it. The pricker wire has been straightened out one too many times. Broke off yesterday. So I'm...
Hope nobody minds me piggy-backing off this excellent Handi thread. Doing tests with my Kero-pet at the mo', but the too highly mounted and floppy...
Now, I'm just wondering... could my problem be simple 'operator error'? Whilst I was testing it, it occurred to me that if I leave the pressure on...
