I guess I'm the odd duck here. I spend a HUGE amount of time on facebook. But not for social media. I don't ever socially message anyone, and only have a couple of friends. Hell. I got a fake name on there,,,lol. But I do use fb as a tool for buying, selling, and learning about stuff in the fb group...

Quick_Cal

Yup! I new it,,,lol.

Quick_Cal

Man that's nice. Just think. Maybe that stove was beeing made right when that picture was taken,,,,lol.

Nice score!

I always liked those O' Shantey shades.

I didn't want to take over TSPORT's thread so I started my own since I haven't posted in awhile,,,lol. So I just got 2 NOS wicks in the boxes today. According to the video in the other thread I have a 1919, and a 1925. But my 1925 box is round, not square like in the video. I'm hoping it has the cor...

I use one of these stove top fans on all my heaters. They really help warm the room up faster and better.. After awhile I have to take the fan off and just use the heater by itself. There's also a version of a square kerosun heater that has a electric blower on it. I have one but have never put it i...

Quick_Cal

I love to see users being used,,,lol.

Love the Kerosun too. I have a BUNCH of those as well. They are supposed to be really good quality. I buy every one I can get at a reasonable price.

It's on the way!

Got it and replied. Thanks

No pm yet. Did you send it? It may not be working,,,lol.

I'm glad you spoke up for it. You showed interest in it when I first got it. I actually sent you a pm about it 2 years and 1 day ago,,,lol. But never heard back.

I have a hard to find Coleman parts box. It has surface rust. It's been painted Gold. Someone wrote stove parts on it, but I'm not sure what kind of parts came in it originally. Obviously you can put what ever you want in it. I'll take $30 plus shipping for it. That's what I paid and spent $20 in ga...

Are you starting your Perfection collection with the wicks, or do you have one that they fit? Sorry. I missed your question. But ya. I have a few Perfections. I have way more Perfection heaters and stoves than pictured. But this is all I have pics of right now. https://i.postimg.cc/sDX2T1rQ/2021122...

Well I got one. Of course I had to act "Quick" on it,,,lol. It popped up on facebook for $10 and I pounced!! When I got there she said she had 20 people lined up. It's a Monoprice Mini Delta.

I do quite a bit of 3D printing, I started with it in 2016 or 2017. I actually teach 3D printing and basic design for beginners, and take a team (or two) of kids to our state 3D design and fabrication contest each year. I’ve run a lot of different printer types over the years, but these days I most...

Quick_Cal

That is sweet. But I still aint ironing my cloths even if I had something cool like that,,,,lol.

Tobey. The one I was thinking of is the fancier brass version. I think it has a longer shaft for certain model of heaters. I think Doug mentioned this before? If you look at the fount in the top left corner you can see the very bottom does not have as big of a radius as the others. I wonder if it co...

The fount in the advertisement is brass. I wonder if those are bigger than the steel ones?

I bought an Ender 3 v2 Neo and have been having a lot of fun with it. Zero problems so far. How does the "Neo" part differ from the standard v2? I have my eye on a pro that way modded.

I thought there might have been a couple of post's about 3d printing. Anyway. I've been kicking the idea around. Just wondering what printers you guys are using. For me. I'd rather buy basic (cheap) and mod it out as I go along.... Cause I'm cheap,,,,lol. Actually the fun for me is in moding the mac...

Quick_Cal

Looks good Tob!

I love the fact that you can switch the founts out and go from heater to heater. I think I have only one or three with good wicks in them. But I did get a couple of wicks today.

What's up with the pump?

Just anxious to share. Finally got a score in the way of things that burn fire. I've been off into the welding equipment black hole,,,lol. I had to sneak into 10gauge's (James) neighborhood to get this stuff. He probably wouldn't have wanted the lantern. But I think he has Perfection heaters. So the...

Best two power tools for home fabrication are a "Port-A-band" band saw, and a 4" mini grinder. You also want a versatile vise so the metal you are cutting is stable. I have three "Port-A-band" saws, and am up to 10 mini grinders so I don't have ot change blades/wheels, just the tool, ans have the m...

Quick_Cal

I'm going to try and start welding some hobby projects. I needed a way to cut metal. Not interested in a cut off saw throwing sparks all over in my small one car garage.

So here's my solution.

Quick_Cal

Good looking girl.

I too had to put a pet down and swore I would never get another one. But my boy dog is my best bud.

Quick_Cal

Yup. I knew it. A closet wickie. They say there's one in every crowd,,,,lol. I actually see some cools stuff like the big funnel.

If any of you guys have one took apart I sure could use a pic.

you could make that. it is like a small can with a cross piece and three tabs for the fresnel. I'd love to make one but don't know what it looks like. I haven't tried to fire mine up because I don't know if that missing part is some sort of heat shield to keep the top from getting too hot? Sure wou...

Quick_Cal

Can you run this type of heater with missing radiants with out damaging anything?

Quick_Cal

So I'm just getting started in welding. Can't afford a lot of good stuff. Plus I'm cheap.

What do you guys think of this cast iron table saw top idea? Go ahead. I can take it,,,lol.

Quick_Cal

Does anyone have one of these took apart? I'm missing the piece that has the stud on it for the vent nut. I have no idea what it looks like. Is it something I could make?

Quick_Cal

Oh ya. I've read ammonia works good on old kerosene.

Quick_Cal

I have a couple. They are missing wicks so I won't have to go through that part. I've had them for a couple of years. Even bought wicks. Maybe it's time to have a look at them. Maybe I need to change my screen name,,,lol.

I never finish anythi
