Hi all so here we are on another day thought we would get some work done today, Here is my Tilley AL8 not finished yet but a great start, the first photos shows you how my lamps started in the morning I have just finished at 11.37PM not to sure what time we started about 10AM. The second photos are of a Tilley EX100 XN fount all done except the reflector, we will do all these reflectors at a latter date. The third photos are of another Tilley EX100 this just needs the lower bug catcher polished up and of course the reflector to finish this one up. This is where the steel fount came from. The forth photos are what I have changed the Tilley EX100 steel fount into, now its going to be a Tilley PL53 steel fount, as the founts are the same, I have placed an order about 2 Months ago form Julian's for the hood, cage holder and globe, they said that's the last shipment until further notice. The fifth photos are of my new Tilley TL14 that is completed, I've had this one for awhile now but it was put together with a Kayen fount, now I have the XN Tilley fount so this one is all done yeah. The sixth photos are also a Tilley TL14 but not completed and needs a bit more work as you can see, but how much work can be done in one day right? When this COVID settles down I will order another handle from Korea as they are also not sending to Australia at this present time. Now to the last photos, this was sent to me from a good friend on this forum, this is the one I use in my shed, so I've decided to see how this paint really does holds up, time will tell and no more work will be done on this Bigstevie PL53. Well I hope you all like what you see here, as its was a very big day for the two of us. PS: looks like I forgot some before shots so I've decided to add them here. The first photo is from the sixth lot of photos of my Tilley TL14, and the second photo are from the fifth lot of photos, Tilley TL14 that is completed thanks, I hope you enjoy what we have done to our lamps. All in a days work I think we truly have problems but that's why its called lamptitus I suppose
Now that you’re at a loose end Brian wish I could pass you my last haul for some of your special treatment.
