Homemade Candle Lantern from tin cans!

Second item in my DIY camping gear series is a lamp. It's also my first attempt at soldering sheet metal - I'm a blacksmith not a tinsmith!
If all goes well, I'll have both a light source for camping and a handy new skill for future projects.

The book I was working from is called 'Toys From Tins' from EP Publishing (ISBN 0 7158 0794 3) and is a 1982 English re-print of a 1980 French title 'Jouets en fer-blanc' by Dessain et Tolra
