Hi Rob,

Thanks! The only times I get to Chicago though are by air … imagine trying to get a Handy Gas Plant ‘under the seat in front of me’ ha ha. Appreciate it though!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

a GOOD one, an OLD one ... one I can FIRE UP and USE ...

Ulf pays cash and he pays for good stuff, boys.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

exactly. I've seen several items that I wanted, but I wasn't fast enough!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

lovely. i would like to see it in Gettysburg!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

what a serious score. one of my fave lanterns too!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

To replace rusty one that’s leaking.

I’d like a nice one, at least B/B+ and/or which can be polished to a nice shine. Rest of my 237 is quite nice, but someone let moisture sit in the fount for 50 years … you know the rest.

Thanks

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

236 and 237, hands down!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

haha. yes, I enjoyed the Aussie sense of humor. good fun pretty well everywhere we went!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

been a while since my last visit to church ... whoops

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

I am quite sure that the Fire From Down Below was a result of my own clumsiness, impatience, or shock and awe arising from the orange plastic knob. I am equally sure that the Austramax is a fine product built by well-meaning Folk. And it’s fair to say that modern plastics are merely the heirs to Bak...

Maybe in building the Ark, ‘gopher wood’ was what Moses (not the Forum member, the dude in Genesis) said to his kids when he needed another board.

Ulf

Ulfuranda

Fantastic! All in one week!!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Hahahaha.

I’m guessing not much!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

My Scout uses the same size.

Ulf

Ulfuranda

I’ve destroyed a nice nickel fount by soaking it for a long time in strong citric. Now when I use citric to remove rust inside a fount, I fill the thing with the citric solution and leave it. I don’t soak it anymore …

Ulf

Ulfuranda

I haven’t had ANY real success with Evaporust, except on really superficial or spotty rust. I’ve spent plenty on the product, but i’m out. Now maybe a day of soaking isn’t enough, but I’m not patient enough to go longer, so Citric acid or Rust911 works for someone with a limited span of attention (l...

Ulfuranda

Haha. That’s the one, the Irukandji, I think. We were doing Whale Shark watching out there, snorkeling in the zillion-foot-deep ocean off Oz’s west coast (bad enough), and the captain said as we went over the side, oh by the way, mates — if you see a little wee jellyfish that looks like etc etc, swi...

Ulfuranda

Hey Pancho, Naw, if anything I’ve been kind of doubling down on the stuff I’m really interested in, and getting rid of the stuff that is just taking up room! For Coleman, I’m really focusing on 1930s-1960s Canadian models and their American twins. I love my QLs but must admit that going to get a wre...

Ulfuranda

Haha, Dan … understood, man. This whole thing has been a very long journey already, and the destruction/construction has yet to begin … Moses, sure, I’ll post some pix as we go along. Cabinets are quartersawn white oak by Crown Point, appliances Gaggenau (three ovens for Mrs. Ulf, who is a chef), & ...

Ulfuranda

the pricker tip looks either very worn or gone -- hard to tell from the pic. I'd probably put in a new one eventually.

U.

Ulfuranda

could it be that people are SKIPPING AHEAD?

U.

Ulfuranda

nice! Mr. Wilson thinks of everything!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

now I will suggest you gift him with a bicycle pump and matching cap. when I got mine, I elected the Coleman style cap ... bad decision. Pump as hard as I could, no way could I pressurize that beast nearly enough to make it really blaze. So I ordered the bicycle pump cap, and I find that south of 40...

Ulfuranda

Hey Pancho,

No, not getting rid of anything I want to keep. But I'm not into selling stuff, so when I'm done with it, I tend to give it away or throw it away. I know it's kinda stupid (don't ask Mrs. Ulf her opinion of this, for example)!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Awesome and something probably not accomplished twice.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Jim, next time'll be a winner, as I tell myself at the 7-11 when I'm buying Powerball tickets.

Look on the bright side, though -- the writeups are FREE, too. ha ha.

All best to you sir.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

what a gift!! and Bavaria is kind of small, so one of those could probably cause them to rename the 'Black Forest'.

I fire my Lightning Bug up most every night, hide it behind a pile of chairs and lawn furniture, and I've still had three alien spacecraft think I was signaling to them.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

PS. Steve also now qualifies for the Year End Drawing of a tailor-made NOMEX fire suit, perfect for any Light-Up Night featuring any or all of the following: Austramax, AGM, or THERMOS ('The First Name in Third Degree Burns').

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

looks like Steve took this flaming piece of Down Under off Ulf's hands. I do have not one but TWO instruction manuals from this bad boy. One goes to Steve with the lantern -- if anyone else likes old paper with instructions on how to care for potentially deadly GPAs from Down Under, give a holler! U...

Ulfuranda

Hello all, If you’ve ever visited our friends in the Southern Hemisphere — particularly Australia and New Zealand — you’ll probably agree with the Ulves that there are many wonderful things about these two countries. Fun-loving people, beautiful scenery, and a variety of animals, snakes, and other c...

Ulfuranda

oh sorry, that was you Seansmithwifd. post a photo and I can tell you if the pricker is good or bad.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

I have found the Tilley vaporizers to be well-nigh eternal ... keep heating and quenching. Attach rubber hose to compressor and then blow them out from the orifice down. Repeat until you have almost lost your mind, and at that point it's almost good as new. As Seansmithwfd suggested, if the pricker ...

Ulfuranda

Looks totally legit to me. Be careful with the stress crack thing though. I had a 1945 AGM milspec that was leaking like a sieve.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Nice spot and a good little trip for the mood, too. Good going!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Fantastic environment you have there, Brian. Beautiful!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Me too. Mine’s going on 20 years, never a problem! Replaced the table once and the covers about three times!

Ulf

Ulfuranda

haha. that 249 is a little baller, for sure.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

I bought one of these tools and they are fantastic. I've already used mine half a dozen times.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

and just when the poor Kia driver thinks the worst is over, the tire comes back and whacks him again.

good thing the driver came out of it okay.

Ulf

Ulfuranda

By golly! just replace that filler cap with an original, polish it up, and you have an A+ lantern on your hands!!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Someplace on here (?) or YouTube is a video of a fellow who takes a roached Q99, heats it, straightens it out, removes whatever's inside, and then loops it again. I suppose one could do the same with an S-generator. It's a pretty interesting video.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

really attractive item there!

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Hi All, Last evening we had nice temps in ol’ Fairfax County, and the Ulves had some friends over to the Ulf-Lair for an evening of hot dogs, baked beans, all the good stuff. Couple light-up shots here … Ulf’s Big Green Egg with two little green lanterns to cook by. On left 249 Scout, right Sears 74...

Ulfuranda

When one of our two little kittens came home five years ago, I was encouraged that she immediately joined me in my workshop as I finished cleaning my Wilson Combat 1911 Commander. Here she is testing the action. I knew then we'd gotten the pick of the litter. Ulf. https://i.postimg.cc/FR4WV00Y/Penel...

Ulfuranda

An amazing achievement! Finding it and fixing it up. Good show.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Good for you, Logan. An amazing and inspiring post.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

Tonight was Big Greeen Egg … if weather holds, Mrs. Ulf will be firing up rthe 413G tomorrow …

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

i also have one of those Ruger oddball things, looks like a cross between a pistol and a little rifle. has a tripod. Never shot it & can't remember what it's called. But it's cool looking.

Ulf.

Ulfuranda

I called Ruger and was told the AC-556s were made I think in the '60s or '70s, and at some point they discontinued support for them, or even repairing them with Bad Things Happen. Not much I could do after that. I wouldn't have trusted it even with an expert welding job. I figured I got lucky once a...

Ulfuranda

Exactly. cost me another $200 to get BATFE permission to junk it!

Ulf.
