Carriage Lamps 101

Using antique lamps, Rick demonstrates how they work in this video. Properly trimming candles and oil wicks and loading the lamps for the most efficient use, and a bit about a few 19th century lamp manufacturers is also discussed.

Hi Rick, like many others, we are from Dave’s crew, any friend of Dave is a friend of ours.

Nice of you to start a channel! Loved the history with you & Mr. Engels.

Thank you Rick for inviting us to your carriage lighting channel, and the informative video! Dave's recommendation goes a long way here, and collectively we're all glad to welcome you into the fellowship of great craftsmen and their historic works! I'm looking forward to your metal spinning demonstrations, as well as your molds and forming processes!

Very happy to see that you’ve started a new channel with such an interesting topic. Came here from Dave’s channel and instantly subscribed. Anxiously awaiting more videos!

Everything I know about carriage lamps I learned in the last 23 minutes. I don't know what's going to be covered going forward, but it looks like it should be interesting. Dave has set the bar high, but this looked to me like a fine first effort. Good luck & hope you enjoy making these.

I'd echo what Chick said. It's great to meet you and we really look forward to learning from you and getting to know you too. So thanks and all the very best from England's sunny North West.

Thank you for letting yourself be persuaded to document your skills before they disappear. I do not follow many u-tube channels, but yours and Dave Engles do make informative (and enlightening :-) watching!

Part of the crowd charging over from Engels :D

Would be good to know exactly HOW to trim the candle wick -- how long and when it needs doing.

Those lamps would look good on the wall in my living room. :D

[andrewthorne]

I’m over from Dave too. I subscribed before even watching your video, very good and interesting. look forward to more.

[rickfabin]

Thanks to you for the lesson. Also thanks to Dave for the introduction. I wouldn’t have found you without him. Very much looking forward to seeing many more videos

[deanplank]

I would recommend an identifier number system as you progress into more videos so when looking for a specific video it can be located. I look forward to your videos each week.

[bobolander]

Dave Engels sent me - this was FASCINATING. sub'ed! glad to see another craftsman sharing his knowledge. please keep 'em coming!

Just when you think you know it all you learn something new, I thought all lamps were liquid base, I never saw a candle lamp before or I thought they were a kerosene lamp . Thank for starting this channel I plan on hanging around awhile . Bill

I just came over from Joliet. I"m ready to learn something. Spinning, in particular, is something I have always wondered about.

[thisolesignguy]

I'm the same as Glen, I came here after watching your video with Dave and thought it was interesting, I'm glad I did and hope I learn as much from you as I have Dave, He's been a HUGE help in my job because I use alot of his tips refurbishing old signs and building new ones. We have an old Standard Oil lamp at the shop that is just a center piece and it's so great to see someone fixing these beautiful works of art! Keep it up, I enjoyed that immensely.

Thank you ! Love the History aspect of each of your lamps... Much like Dave telling us the history of each wheel he works on !
