Here is my mod done to my old Baladdin lamp as the top was rotted out. I wanted stainless to stop the rot. I baught 4 SS bowls for 50p from the charity shop and some perforated SS sheet I found on the road. I didn't like the new looking steel so i blued it using my blow torch.
Looks better than the brass ash tray with an engraved map of Norfolk that I've got on top of one of mine! Terry
