( Gard is how it's spelled) i take a short drive to lake Ontario to pick up a lantern and take some photos. the photo opp turned out to be a beautiful sunset, enhanced by smoke from Canadian wild fires. then the traffic gard took things over. it put up a fight! seal-all repair did not work. so i got some practice in on some other ideas. link to the traffic gard restoration: czcams.com/video/rUB...

crusty Embury air pilot lantern restoration
Thank you for this video! I have 30+ oil lamps and have recently started getting lanterns. I know virtually Nothing about either, but love them all. I just purchased my own Embury #2 last week! It has a clear globe and needs some cleaning, but I'm hoping nothing like you've had to do. I'm such a newby, I hate to even take them apart for fear I'll end up with a parts bucket and no lantern!
welcome to collecting! the embury no.2 air pilot is a great lantern. one of my favorites! they are built very strong. i have a few videos of those on my channel. maybe they will help you figure out how to get it cleaned up and working with little effort. good luck!
Great save ! That came together nicely. Thanks again for sharing your videos. I’m learning a lot. Enjoy!
so glad! feel free to ask all the questions you like. happy hunting!
@@chefbirdland I came across one with a clear lense. Everything looks to be intact except for the broken globe. Can see some rust in the tank. Fingers crossed. 🤞
@@jasper60103 good luck!
@@chefbirdlandone thing that concerns me is I haven’t seen a clear bullseye version of this lantern anywhere online ? I’m wondering if it was changed?
@@jasper60103 thats true. i too, have found next to nothing online about them. they are quite rare. tell me why that would be a concern?
Beautiful job. Btw, I have a lead on a Rayo Pony no. 21. Would a junior size globe fit? I also have a junior size Chinese lantern that may work as well. Edit: I just watched your Rayo Pony video. That answers my question. Thanks.
excellent! im so glad i kept buying those $2 cheap lanterns at yard sales. the globes and filler caps have come in very handy.
chefbirdland, great content bro
Hi. Loved how nice and smooth your JB weld tank repair turned out. What is that pink dremel bit you used for sanding it down smooth? I have a similar project with JB weld needing to be smoothed out.
hi, thanks, it came out better than i thought it would. ive seen some bad weld it repairs. they are buffing discs. each color is a different roughness. got them on amazon. they are a big help. here is a link to them. if link doesn't work, let me know: www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGSFJHH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
@@chefbirdland got it. Thanks!
This is the second of your videos I’ve found and I commend you on your work and also your patience with the project. How many hours did you spend completing this work? I will be watching more of your videos. I recently bought a Dietz De-Lite and Embury Supreme 210 from local antique store and will be lighting them later today. Thanks for your enjoyable videos!
thank you! glad you found the channel. this lantern took me about 7 hours of solid work. i enjoy it. i wish the paint removing wasnt as laborious however lol. the days are getting shorter and air colder. a perfect time to fire up those 2 great lanterns you got. hope you check out some other videos. i have more coming!
Buna ziua scuze de deranj egxista aparat care poti suda o bara mica de cupru pe strmbatura si tragi strmbatura afara.
Bună ziua, încă nu am învățat cum să sudez sau să sudez cuprul
On the list of wants. Nice to have
my first inspector and first square tube. its missing the handle but the price was right. lots of real-estate on that thing lol
@@chefbirdland drummel tool I like using is the pen style wire brush either brass or stainless steel. They can really get in nook n crannies .. I just ordered 12 of each ..
@@davedavis3467 I use the pen tip type often but they scratch pretty heavily sometimes so I have to be cautious.
I would like to know the purpose of the red globe it would be neat to see an educational video
@@markpack9273 red globe represents caution. There are also blue, green, amber and a few more.
One of my.favorite no 2s ...looks real nice
thanks man, I love it. still needs proper crown to be complete but, baby steps lol
the snow protect her
Love the embury red globes . Just cast much more red light than my dietz ruby reds .. very nice work on that tank . Great video
thanks man! tho I did get up next day to see a leak.... was just pin whole on bottom. that seal-all was a bust on 2 lanterns so far.
@chefbirdland hmm .. I bought some seal all a few weeks ago but have not used it yet . I did have a perect round pin hole in the bottom of one of the lanterns and used little jb weld smoothed it out flat. It has not leaked
@@davedavis3467 i may have very well done it wrong by thinning it out to much. i will try the stuff again sometime since so many swear by it.
Great save. Just curious, how did you repair the burner cup? Thanks for sharing.
@@jasper60103 tapped away with small ball peen hammer
Yes, you can tell it's old, very nice glass. You can see the swirls in glass well in video
it was hefty for sure. glad I took that paint off
@chefbirdland never seen one shine like that just removing the paint. Very cool to see .. nice work
Yep, I have one as well, but the paint is orange. There are some bare spots revealing shiny metal underneath. Your project turned out great. And great video work. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video. I don’t like painted globe guard wires either, or the burner or burner plate for that matter. That shined up very nicely. Also, I’m learning a lot about how to use my Dremel tool from your videos. Thanks for sharing.
oh great! the flex core for the dremel was worth every penny! thanks!
@@chefbirdland yep, I have that attachment as well. I have a CT Ham cold blast that needs some solder repair work. That paint job is horrible too and needs to come off. This will be my first real test. Thanks again.
Great restoration. Btw, did you ever come across the original paint? I have an Embury Air Pilot with a thin paint covering like and appears to be bare metal beneath. Maybe a candidate for a restoration like that. That thing looks amazing and love the optic globe. My Emburys 210 and Defiance no. 0 have a patina finish. 😀 Thanks for sharing.
i didnt find any other paint under that green. im pretty sure it was sold with the tin finish. i have found that the metal on the air pilot is beautiful. thats one of my favorite lanterns.
Hi. Thank you for the detailed clean up video. I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
So glad! That's why I'm doing it. Happy hunting!
@@chefbirdland Also, the globe looks great. I was wondering did it clean up with just soap and water, or did you use something else?
@@jasper60103 yes, just soup and water
Scuze de deranj partea de sus a lampi iese afara dupa ce sa da capacu jos se stamba în zet un pic partea unde sant prinzatorile si se trage partea in jos iese cu tot cu arc si la sfarsit se stramba la loc .
I am aware of that process. it often ends up damaging the lantern. I choose not to do it.. thanks for the comment
@@chefbirdland ok scuzama.
Not bad! When I saw how clean the fount was, I could tell it stayed empty most of it's life. The wrong globe and wick also said someone who didn't know better tried to get it working had failed, and thankfully sat it aside for you to find! I have a similar lantern that I bought, and it is getting a replacement globe, but it also is a 'close fit', as the originals are not available, without buying a complete lantern for parts. I'm not sure if you should paint it, or spray a clear coat on it, to keep it from rusting? So many options to choose from! But enjoy it, now that you have it working!
Yeah I love how it looks like this. I treated with linseed oil I wouldn't paint it for sure . I'm not a fan of painting lanterns. Thanks for the comment!
مرحبا ياصديقي انت كبير في نظري ذكرتني بالايام الجميلة في حياتنا
Great finds I have a couple of those battery comet lanterns and they are pretty neat but the switches are a little intermittent from age and usually need some contact cleaner and some tweaking to get them working and also the battery contacts as well but they do come in handy for a power failure and keep them on standby for such occasions 👍
i have a D cell mag light with an LED upgrade bulb. im going to try that in it for high power! hehe. just have to get D's and try it out.
Great work harvesting those parts that is exactly what I do with something like that 👍
thanks ken! i did the same with a bottomless D-lite. and just picked up a D-lite today that needs a part. win win! lol
Very nice lantern and great repair 👍
thanks Ken!
I clean rusty parts and lanterns with caustic soda.
It takes of the paint and rust. Its nasty stuff but it does the job. Than I rinse it with water. Than brush everything with the Dremel.
All that work and you didn’t light it. 😢
cut for time lol
I do almost the same to my lamps😂 Greatings from Holland. And I don't light them either.
@@petpet9467 lol! Greetings from New York! What are the popular lanterns in Holland?
You’re an animal with that Dremel. You should’ve been a dentist .
Turned out really nice great work as usual .. keep us posted on linseed oil. I bought some but haven't used it on lanterns yet ..
@@davedavis3467 I did notice that a restoration I did last month with WD-40 has already started to oxidize. I will clean it up and try the oil.
Cool Defiance lanterns!!
yeah a lucky find. will be a fun restoration
I have admired the design but oh so flimsy...
the 1953 i restored felt more beefy to me then this one. not sure why
Good lantern hunting 👍 and just like myself I collect them all when the prices are reasonable 👌
i didnt think id find 4 in my budget. it was a good day
Nice lantern 👍 came out very good 👌
thank you!
Nice finished result! Thanks for the tip using CLP. Have you ever pulled/removed dents from a lantern fount/tank? Any tips or suggestions how to do that? Thank you.
thanks! i haven't attempted any fount dent repairs yet. i need a few junker lanterns to learn on. its a whole new set of tools too. same with solder welding.
Thanks. You have the same habbit as my dad. Drop things in your hand when they are 1 inch off the table lol Bang!
lol. i figured id leave the accidents in the video. with bad language removed of course 😅
Very nice blizzard .. they look great after you're done .
Turned out great .. that oil really did darjen the metal..look tottaly diffrent next day. What grinder for wire wheel you use .. I need to buy grinder
thanks dave! the grinder is a "task force" 2.5 amp. it was the cheapest i could find 15 years ago. same wheel on it as the day i got it lol. yeah the oiled up metal really takes on a different look. its like spilling water on your khakis. but the oil doesn't dry up.
@chefbirdland thanks been watching for a while. love how your lanterns turn out.. I'll post on fb my embury air pilot no 2 .. I didn't take much off yet thinking I might not take more off .. elbow steel wool and drummel.. really need to get wire wheel
@@davedavis3467 the flex core for Dremel was a huge help too
What kind of wire wheel.you have can we see your set up and drummel.bits you use ?
nothing special. just wire wheels. you can see tools i use in this video and others czcams.com/video/boWniweBVcI/video.htmlsi=bUcf0sN-uGm75K8_
That looks really nice
Look real nice ..
The Paull's looks great! On the Dietz, wouldn't the "N.Y. U.S.A." indicate that it's from before production moved to HK? I hope they would not keep printing that on there after moving production...
Yeah, and the recessed filler cap may help narrow it down a bit.
Love the result! I love the art deco design elements on these Embury Air Pilots.
thanks! me too. they are my favorites
Amazing job, this looks incredible! I'm very curious about the black-painted globe and the missing top, and wondering if they are connected.
thanks it was fun! maybe a camp stove?
You should def pick up those pieces, each one of those tiny segments can sprout more roots and grow more plants
oohh good info. thanks!
@@chefbirdland Ran into your video cause I've been doing research on a patch I've had in my back yard for my entire life, I'm 36. I got lucky and they grew in a spot where they can't really spread, I quite like them as long as they're managed. It's crazy how fast they can grow though
Cool to realize that the bright sky in the distance is literally the edge of the shadow of the moon.

beautiful town. great skiing and snowmobiling in winter. and amazing boating and fishing in summer.
