[ATTACH] I thought polishing my X246 Guardsman up counted as 'Action' but obviously I'm not getting enough :-({|= Ah well I got my 'copper-ised'...
Watching a DVD,supping on a bottle of red and tidying up my favourite lamp. Is this lamp action? [ATTACH]
Just wondering if anyone can ID this wee lamp? I've been offered it and I'm not sure what it is or how much to pay for it. Thanks. [ATTACH]
Ah OK thanks.
Sorted thanks. The inside of the pump looks like it has sat for years in a tank of parrafin and has gone all brown/tarnished so I'd imagine the...
So I've this one apart now and everything's steeping in vinegar solution ready for a good clean up. Just wondering about this metal ring on the...

Finished, the paint isn't an exact match for my other x246a but I think it looks great so I'm not worried. A couple of wee bubbles rose on the...
So I've managed between buying and inheriting and been given some Tilley lamps. Guardsman and X246A models but I've kinda gotten the bug and in my...
All painted up now, and ready to go into the oven. Just wondering though there's a few different notions on time and temperature. Some say 150c...
Yep that's what I've had to start to do.
Cheers, changed the wee pip in the control cock. Seems to have helped a little but still a slight weep there. If I left pressure in the tank...
