Working on a fugging Coleman lantern for some idiotis reason. The cleaner tip broke off in the gas jet. Its finer than a frogs hair. I just got it out with heat and Aerokroil after getting some advice from a lantern forum.
Pretty cool stuff.

Yep, used to collect and work on them back a bit - lost interest now LOL. I do still have a website selling the mantles: https://www.justmantles.co.nz/

Huh?

When you are grinding a cylinder, do you have an enclosed space with extraction fans or the like to keep the dust out of your other chit. Like Windsors, and Snowmobiles. That's what i meant to ask.

No, it's not dust , more like sluff from a band saw comes off the cylinders when you grind on them. The cutters chew through them pretty good and make more of a small chip. It stays local to where I'm working, mostly in the cylinder itself.

Got this 252A US military issue. 1965 manufacture. Got for $10.00 US at a yard sale.
Have a 413G stove that dad gave me. Made 7-1976.
Picked up a 425E stove at a yard sale for $3.00 US. Made 11-1973. Its just a few months younger than me.
413G needs a genny.
425E works pretty good.
This lantern is driving me nuts!
Running lean. Got the mud daubers out of the air tube. Better, but still lean. Thinking about openning the other air tube up a bit. Ive heard they can be "ported".

Rectally?

No, thankfully i get an IV.

Nice nice nice...

Do you porter fullaz have an extraction room or booth or something?

Huh?

Huh?

Exactly.

Oh....naw, I do the burr work at the opposite end.

No, it's not dust , more like sluff from a band saw comes off the cylinders when you grind on them. The cutters chew through them pretty good and make more of a small chip. It stays local to where I'm working, mostly in the cylinder itself.

Yep....just sweep it up and drop it in the can.

The generators on those old Military ones can clog up, especially as they were designed to run on anything that was available to hand, it gets especially bad if they are run on standard fuel - the additives in the fuel deposit in the generator. Might pay to dismantle the generator and soak it in a solution of citric acid and hot water, it cleans them up beautifully.

I've also got a couple of the Coleman 530 Military Coleman Pocket stoves, I love them and take them out on picnics whenever I can. If you know where to look one of these pocket stoves cameo's in Saving Private Ryan

Pic from the Internet, but mine are the same:
