Frank

This is a nice project. It looks like a really interesting build. I like the way you signed it as well.

Thanks for the post.

Interesting. What do you use it for? Re-enacting what?

That adjustable stand is really neat.

Most of the time the candle lantern & stand stay in my den. But I take it sometimes when we’re camping. When we camp we try to make it look as though it’s about 1800 +/-. So there’s no green canvas & aluminum poles and no Coleman or battery operated lights. If we do bring something modern, ice chests & water coolers for example, they must be hidden or camoflaged as a wooden chest or box. The idea of the ratchet table is that as a candle stick burns down you can raise the flame back up. Especially good when reading.
