As a viking era reenactor in the USA, thank you for posting this video. I will definitely make these. Can you share the documentation sources for this lamp as well?
I really appreciate your work, if you feel like it you should try finding clay near to where you live, make things with it and fire it. It gives a special kind of feeling when you made something with the materials of where you live. Especially if it’s something usable like this lamp.
Yeah that’s right 😉👍🏻 and I’m always looking for materials for the nature that I can use 🌲but hard to find good clay here in my area 😆 Thanks for the feedback 🏕🔥🌲🐕 Tom
Very nice, I have been playing around with different candle and lamp ideas. This one will be making it into the plans. Wishing you and your family a very Good Yule.
I think maybe I would try cutting a circle in the bottom the diameter of the wick post and set it in and smooth on bottom of pot and on the inside. Perhaps it would be more integrated into the pot.
I was surprised you didn't fire them, Danes love fire LOL I LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I have a crap channel that I love. it seems without trying we are more alike than I wouold want
Your voice reminds me of my Uncle Gunnar. ❤ Thanks for teaching to make these lamps. Can these lamps be fired in a kiln? I'm asking because another video on making clay lamps said that after a while the oil starts to weep out of the lamp. It seems like firing it would fix the weeping.
Thanks for your feedback 😁👍🏻 and I guess your uncle has Nordic roots? I guess you could burn it 🤔 but not sure the Vikings did that … but just made another one when it was useless 😉 🏕🌲🔥🐕Tom
Those are wonderful! I wonder if there is any advantage to fireing them in a kiln or open pit before using?❤️🤗🐝 Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy Yule!🎄🌟
@@diycimbrer Crisco brand lard is what I use as the fuel source and a piece of burlap for the wick. I haven't experimented with any other fuel sources yet, but I plan too. Let me know if you have any alternative fuel ideas that might burn cleaner please. If I find one I will be sure to let you in on the secret. Thank you
Hello. I bought one of these recently at a Viking festival and the guy said we can use cooking oil. Do you have a video on that? As I don’t know if we have put to much in as the flame is quite high, but also we didn’t ask how to put it out, is there a safe way to do this?
I guess it’s fine using cooking oil 😉👍🏻 but you have to cut the wick so it’s smaller 🔥 and a safe way to put it out is to put a metal pot over it and it’ll die 😁🏕 Hope this helps 🌲Tom
Great project. Been on my to do list for a while. And great to the see archaological source. Why did you make your replica so much bigger than the original? I am curious to hear the reason why. Maybe to get more burn time?
Honestly 😇 I didn’t check the measurements before I started … but I got about half a litre of lard and made them so it could contain that. But I also wanted the lamps to burn all night 😁👍🏻🔥 and it was a perfect size for that 🌲 Thanks for your feedback and for watching me DIY videos. 🏕🔥🌲🐕 Tom 🇩🇰
@@diycimbrer Odd. It can be found most anywhere, and even in Australia, far from any body of water, I've extracted plenty of clay from the soil at home.
Amazing!!
Thanks 😁👍🏻🔥 Tom

@@diycimbrer how slow does the lard burn? 🛞
Not as slow as normal candles 😉🔥 but this one for a couple of hours 😁👍🏻🏕🐕Tom

Great video brother ... I made a lamp just waiting on the linen wick ..I'll let u know how it burns
That’s great Scott 😉👍🏻and thanks for the feedback brother 🔥

Maybe so Deborah 😉 at least they will withstand the weather outside 👍🏻😉🔥
Tom
@@diycimbrer Yes, they would❤️🤗🐝
I made one of these. It was very bright and burned for a long time but smoked terribly.
Glad if I have inspired you Cliff 😉👍🏻🔥 but what did you use as fuel? Tom

That’s great 😉👍🏻🔥I used pigs lard and I think it’s good 🏕🔥🌲

Not a wick; It's a mantle. Great project!

@@diycimbrer that makes sense:) keep up the good work
Mange tak 😉 og I lige måde
were these historically unfired? if this thing gets wet its gonna fall apart was that possibly not an issue in their historical context?
Yes 👍🏻 😄 it’s from a finding and maybe they were only used inside when there’s no rain to destroy them 🏕🔥🌲
Tom
intriguing. i wonder why not just throw them in alongside everything else in a pit firing. did they not make very many ceramics in general?
Yes the definitely did that 😉 but both time consuming and for such things they probably wouldn’t bother burning it 🔥
Tom
Why buy clay when you can extract it from the ground!
We don’t have much clay here in Denmark 🇩🇰 so I chose to buy it 😉🏕🔥🌲
