Captain Midnight Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Me Maties, I have been seriously thinking about trying my hand at making my own punched tin or wood and glass ship's lantern. The problem is, I can't find any patterns. Do any of you know where I might find an online tutorial with printable patterns or instructions for such an endeavor? I remember seeing a free pattern for a punched tin one a long time ago, but I can't find it now. I would prefer the simple punched tin "Paul Revere" type of colonial lantern, but I've also seen some pretty nifty wooden and glass-paned examples. Have any of you ever built one of these lanterns? Also, where might I find pics of any original period (EARLY 1700's) ship's lanterns that still exist, if any? Any help you all could provide would be sincerely appreciated! "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
