Slide of the Month: Camp Lantern


 


March 2025

Time to make: 3 hours

Finishing: 1 hour
 
Original design:  Bill Andrews








 My old Scoutmaster taught me many things and I am forever grateful. He also was the first person I knew with a propane lantern that gave us all some much more light than out Scout flashlights. I knew once I became an adult Scouter I would also own one of these marvelous bright lights.  

I wanted to try something different with this slide reusing some materials I would have normally thrown away. So I'll list what I used and what it was used for.

Contact lens cleaner container - glass globe and base
Plastic thread  spool - top or ventilator 
Paper clip - gas pipe and mantle holder
Paper towel painted yellow - mantle
Hanger nail - regulator control
Plastic squeeze bottle filled with green paint  and allow to dry- propane bottle
Shipping label printed with Coleman logo
