My latest project (done)

[rainjer]

I decided to make a mini "Handy Pail" for my new 226 lantern. The design is based on the Handy Pail carrying case Coleman made in the 30's.

Here is the pail with the lantern.


A size comparison.


A sample of the decal I made.

Very nice canister Jeremy! I wouldn't have thought that the mantles would store better upside down as mentioned on the decal, I need to hang out on the Coleman forum more. Just thinking...you could wrap some formica around some sauna tube and really build a custom one to match your boomerang counter top. Now to go check what I have laying around in the shop. Doug

I did not know that either until I was making the label. Everything on the decal came from the original handy pail.

I thought of that. I am not sure it would roll that tight without being real brittle.
