Too much time on my hands
About 10 years ago when my father retired from farming I found these two lanterns in a corner of the barn and rescued them from the scrap hopper. Are used a shop vac to get the loose dirt off but never cleaned them up in anyway.
I am quite pleased with the results today

Very cool. I also like the background.

Re: Too much time on my hands
When I started my gun room I wanted the back wall to look like you are approaching a cabin as you are walking through the woods
The 3-D camo hanging from the ceiling and the camouflage paneling on the walls are kind of a start but not really everything I was hoping for. I would love to find some Astroturf for the floor

Cool. You guys have no idea how badly I want to retire so I can do things like this.

Re: Too much time on my hands
Nice job Hairtrigger. I've got a couple of lanterns with rust holes in their bottoms that could still be useful for something like this.
