Pics inside my mini workshop

A bit clustered from storing things for winter, but still pretty well organized, my little escape from the world!, most of my shelf queens are stored indoors at the moment....

Very nice. Everyone needs their place to get away. Nice collection of lanterns. I have one for tracking deer.

Nice shop, Mark! Some would call it tight, I prefer 'cozy'.

.... I use mine for attracting mosquitoes.

It's my other side hobby, old Coleman lamps and lanterns, most of my nice ones are stored in the house.....

Looks pretty sweet! You have a lot of stuff packed into a small area. Lanterns look cool as well.

I spotted the Trail 70, too. Had one when I was a kid...... they are VERY capable little rigs and so much fun. Love to have one now!

Very, very nice!
I have about a dozen lanterns that I pick up at garage sales and restore, nothing like your collection. I especially like the single mantle red ones.

I sure wanted one of those as a kid.....My parents leveraged it into my first employment (newspaper route) "save up and buy one". I did, but only enough to buy a used Trail Hopper. Should have gone the extra mile for a new 70...

Yep, the red ones do look cool, I picked up a nice 236 and the tough to find 247CPR this last year, the 236 is a 500 CP, the 247 is a Canadian Pacific Railroad kero lantern..... View attachment 61577

For years we used to light the hunting cabins with Coleman lanterns. Even kept us from freezing in the tent one time, we ran them all night! And once we did use a lantern (there were 6 of us) to help the next door neighbors retrieve a large buck that was miles into the woods, (at night).

Then my brother wired the hunting cabin with LED lights, a deep cycle battery and an inverter, and I picked up some solar panels. The lanterns have not been used for a while, we just keep em for backup. My oldest one was always my favorite, just seemed to have more run time than the newer ones.

Yep, I prefer the oldies as well......

@old 040 You have a very nice setup going there. I never knew Coleman made lamps. Thanks for sharing your setup gives me some ideas for my own.
