Dave, please do resume your amazing videos when you are able. I so enjoy watching your skill and dedication.
A vacation from filming doesn't mean a vacation from work. Take care and we'll wait for your next video in the spring.
I pray the best for you and yours this Christmas season. I am old enough to remember some of these things, which I took for granted. Now in our world of plastic injection moulds, some of the off shore crap, and mass stampings with powder coating.... brings tears to my eyes... we have forgotten quality and artistic design.
Beautiful work, Thanks for letting us watch.
I’d forgotten how big those hearse lamps were. Monumental! Self-employed and too much work - as frustrating as it is a testament to the quality of your work. See you in the Spring.
Outstanding work and attention to detail, come back soon!!
So beautiful. Sorry to see that you will not be showing videos for a couple of months, but i'll be here when you come back.Thanks for sharing your trade.
You will be missed, but Happy Christmas, and I am looking forward to seeing you again in the New Year.
Same to you!
In our age of LED lamps, your carriage lamps truly warm the soul. The light is so warm and pleasant ... Thank you Rick for your hard work and your dedication to the restoration business! Lorewalker !!!
See you in the spring. I don't often comment but I watch every one of your videos. They are truly entertaining, educational and a look back in time. Take care of business. We will be here.
Walt
Glad you like them!
Ufdah! Those turned out nice! No wonder you're backed up. See you in the spring, have a great holiday.
You are a true craftsmen and I really enjoy your videos take care !!
You can be really proud again!
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Your video's have become really good and are true documents about your craft!
Definitely.
Thank you so much 😀
Just fantastic those finished lamps, Rick, your subs should be far higher.
Plenty Tubers try to exploit their channels, but I'm glad you prefer your customary trade.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year , hope it is better than the last . Stay Safe and Healthy👍👍👍👍
love the videos, see you in the Spring.
Looking forward to your return.
Beautiful
Thank you
You do such Beautiful Work !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible job Rick, a thing of beauty is a thing to behold! Good luck with your projects and have a good Christmas. Looking forward to catching up with you in the Spring
Thanks, you too!
The ladies look stately on their newly revived lamps. Nicely done.
Those Hearse lamps are MAGNIFICENT! I hope that they are used and enjoyed on an appropriate Hearse! I just pity the poor person who has to keep them polished!
I think most of us will miss you - but we all know that business has to come first. Keep up the great work!
The craftsmanship
Correction from my comment last week: "this little light of mine, Rick's gonna make it shine..."
très beau travail comme d'habitude, je vous souhaite une bonne année et santé. Merci. Pierre de Vierzon France.
Beautiful work Rick. Your standard of quality probably exceeds that of the factory that made these lamps originally. See you in the Spring! We'll be here waiting.
Thank you very much!
Shiny as a new penny
Those lamps turned out beautiful Rick. Looking forward to watching you perform your magic on the next set of lamps. Wishing you and yours Merry Christmas and Happy New Years
Thank you! Cheers!
Can't wait for spring (Autumn down here) I am always fascinated by the high tech jigs you use Masking Tape and Rubber Bands.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for shinning a light into the historical world of carriage lamps. Superficially they appear deceptively simple, but you have exposed the complexity, artistry and decades of engineering applied to refining wind resistant candle luminaries. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
I think some other people have pointed out, that the zooming effect done post filming will simply lower the resolution. Better if you film in much higher resolution to start with, or have someone to film live for you and use optical zoom not digital zoom!
What’s happened to Rick of the Luminary Shoppe? Nothing new for 3 weeks now. Hope he isn’t ill!
Rick, what gauge/thickness brass sheet do you typically use when you spin? (I apologize if you've already had to answer this multiple times)
15:50 What's the purpose of packing the foil/paper into the lamp?
My guess is they capture particles of spray paint (or dust from sanding), which may slip through the cracks. They won't end up on glass, or much worse, on already silver plated faces.
Yep, that's the reason. He explains that in an earlier video: ruclips.net/video/sWgfPH67mi4/видео.html
Do you use lead less solder?
No, only tin/lead
👍👍👍👍☕☕🍩🍩
No wonder there is a surge of hearse lamps. If one Google for that, I bet your name jumps at the top, so any funeral house that had a need for a restoration suddenly found your place.
It is time to hire an apprentice.
Have a nice end of year.
With all that work you need to take on an apprentice.
Looks like you and Dave could use a couple apprentices preferably young folks that care about history
Rick, artist you are, I will miss you.
It is always very nice, the beautiful things you know how to make.
I will wait patiently.
Please stay safe and healthy.
Until the next video.
Greetings, Arie from the Netherlands.
Beautiful work…as always. See you in the spring!
👍👍❤️
Thank you very much!
a true artist ... beautiful work mate ...
That's a double WOW squared!!! Beautiful lamps. Regards, Solomon
We will miss you during your hiatus. Know that even some of the repetitve work is a pleasure to watch, although I understand that a lot of extra time and effort goes into producing the videos.
the lamps looking fabulous . thanks for sharing .
Glad you like them!
Restoration is restoration; it costs what it costs. But, you sure have to wonder at how much people were willing to pay to make their loved ones look good at their funerals.
We'll be looking for you next spring.
Rick we will be here when you return 👍👍😊
See you when you return.
Show us the completed lamps when they're done, at least!
Thanks Rick
These lamps turned out looking spectacular! Wishing you happy holidays and a productive and joyous new year. I look forward to seeing you back on here in the coming spring. All the very best from the other side of the pond.
Wow! What an impressive pair of lamps. Absolutely amazing. 49 videos already Rick? Hardly seems possible but I have enjoyed every one of them. It has been a fascinating experience looking at a very unique and specialist field, and seeing such wonderful hand skills. Well Done and I hope you produce a lot more videos.
Glad you like them!
Amazing craftsmanship. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What a magnificent pair of lamps!
The hearse lamps you just completed look absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you lit the wick and turned off the lights I have a hard time finding words to describe. I hope you can catch up and start releasing new videos next spring. Have a great one.
Fantastically gorgeous lamps.
Thank you! 😊
I truly appreciate the skill and dexterity that you bring to restoration. I only see you use solder from that spool above the bench. What alloy(s) do you use? There seems to be a combination of gap-filling and sweating which might require differing degrees of fluidity. Have you moved away from lead-bearing solders? Also, does solder present any difficulties for your silver plater? Enjoy your respite from video production; we all look forward to your return in the spring.
Rick I am a first time watcher and I have subscribed to you channel and hit the notification bell, your video was highly interesting to me for I am retired as a pipe weldor and instructor for over 40 years, I was 100% certified tig weldor on nucleolar power plants and have done just about all aspects of the welding trade, but when I watched you do your work with the silver application memories came rushing back, I toughly enjoyed it all, thank you and I am excited to watch more of your videos in the further as I have watched your brother-n-law show, Dave is a lot of fun, catch you on the next one...God speed...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Rick. Really enjoy seeing the skill and care that goes into building and restoring these lamps, and looking forward to seeing you again next spring!
speechless. 👏 to both you and your brother in law. I discovered you both yesterday. Yesterday just found a lantern in a thrift store in South Florida.. I own a few railroad lanterns but this one was different. So I began searching discovered both channels. I realized my find is a carrige lamp but not sure maker or what's my next step in setting it up. Thank you
If you could consult with youtube marketing professionals they will be able to guide you to a more consistent public exposure. The more exposure the more income from advertisers particularly Interior architects & designers who will directly provide clients to you that have discretionary resources seemingly without limitations. You are a very talented master artisan and all too rare for clients wishing for your services on a worldwide scope. Please consider NOT turning away potential new clients by adding apprentices to your design & fabrication studio!
Rick, from my family to your…Merry Christmas! Thank you for your continued efforts in sharing your talents. -Phil
Be sure to find time for fun whenever possible. You are an extraordinary artist. Like they say, Spring is just around the corner. See you then. Be well. Be safe.
Many thanks Rick for taking the time to show your beautiful work! I have no chance of coming across any lamps like that where I live, but I’ve learned a lot about detailed accurate metal work in the past year watching your excellent videos. Have a relaxing Christmas and New Year holiday with the family, and I look forward to seeing more next year.
Adios Rick, excellent content as usual, looking forward to your return in the spring, regards
Happy Holy Days!! Thanks for the videos! See you when you return. Be well! ; -)
More work than you can handle, eh? Sounds like you need an apprentice. Set up a lamp crafting guild. :)
Just like seeing all the coach work done on the other channel, I'm equally impressed with these lamp restorations and all the detail, Then seeing them back on the coaches where they belong
Beautiful work will be here waiting for springtime All good wishes to you and family
How beautiful those lamps have become again. I continue to enjoy your craftsmanship. May I ask if you use the same solder fluid for all types of metal and which one is that? I appreciate all the time you put into filming the work, but I understand that it is at the expense of productivity. I'm looking forward to spring and not just because then winter is over. Stay healthy.
Thank you!
It's amazing how you can get the solder to flow so well! What flux do you use? Is it commercially available?
zinc chloride available at most welding shops
Absolutely beautiful work.
Hi , do you sell some of the lamps o do you know a place that a i can get a pair of lamps for a buggy ?
Prima Ergänzung zu Engels Videos leider ist mein Englisch nicht besser geworden, aber macht nichts! Weiter so Grüße aus Bayern
Such a joy to watch! May I ask what sort of flux do you use and is it locally available? Thanks
Best wishes for the holidays and the New Year, and we’ll be looking forward to new videos in the spring. Thank you for taking the time to share the detailed work that go into these lamps.
Happy holidays!
Thanks for sharing your work.
BEAUTIFUL ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
So I take it the hearse lamps were dying to get restored. 😁
Thanks for sharing 👍
Sta-brite silver solder?
Hiya Rick
Great series
Rick, thank you for sharing what you do. We'll be here when you return next spring!
One question though: How do you remove the most visible solder on top of silver-plated parts as needed during your clean-up, without risking damage to the thin silver plating? (I'm sure there's a better way to word the question, but I hope that you understand what I'm trying to ask.) This question keeps popping into my mind, so I figured that I'd go ahead and ask.
Hello Bob, Obviously the best is to hide the soldering, but sometimes it is necessary to make an exposed solder joint. In that case I try to minimize the excess solder and then polish the joint with a bench motor mounted buff to thin out and blend the solder. Then I silver plate over the area with the brush plater. Thanks for following the channel!
Spectacular job on those hearse lamps, they look dignified. We appreciate your filling us in on why the upcoming pause in videos. The improvement of your sound recording equipment is both noticeable and welcomed. The progress in your videography skills is encouraging to all of us who have tried it. Thanks for documenting this important slice of technology.
Have a blessed holiday. Look forward to seeing you in the spring. Love, peace, joy.
Thank you Paul!
🤗❤️👍

I would assume you buy the industrial size rolls of Solder. 😂
5# rolls when I can find them.
Thank you for allowing us into your shop. It is so clean and organized. As a welder I am inpressed and have learned a couple of tricks when it comes to your excellent silver brazing. I am looking forward to future videos. You certainly have the skill and personality to do this highly skilled trade. I follow Dave's channel also. Happy Holidays from Canada.
Ditto from Florida…
You make soldering the parts together look easy but I know from experience that it's not! I assume that's tin/lead solder - or have you gone lead-free? Very impressed either way. Thanks for so many enjoyable videos and I look forward to # 50. All the best..Mike UK
The Hearse lamps you just completed are real works of art. It is grea that you are keeping the lamp building business going. Any thoughts on training someone to carry on the work.
Rick I really appreciate your presentations as well as your skills as a craftsman, I was brought up in New Zealand my father was an apprenticed Tinsmith and in the 50's and 60's he brought a lot of smaller jobs home to work on, I enjoyed being the passer of tools that were required. I now live in Taiwan and have been following along since you began. Thank you for providing this library of work for future generations.
Thanks!
