Thread: The Revolver

Hey guys, got more done today after fixing the oldies hot water system. Fire place was cleaned sprayed with a little flat black to schmick it up, filled in some of the missing cast panels with plywood and painted them black. A bit of a sand and tidy up and then put the first coat of chocolate varnish on. I did take some photos but left the camera sitting on the bench when I left for home. More excitment for tomorrow

Chocolate Danish oh varnish thought there might be a new lickable wood finish CH

Great idea! Excited to see result.

Does sound like icecream Ray, Feast Watson Chocolate Walnut varnish.
I am working on something, not lickable but I will let you know once I have run a few more tests.

Should have some more pics tomorrow Egg. Getting down to the mechanics and finishing touches.

Ah at last decent music "The Mechanics"

Whats the plan CH low riding hidden wheels with centre pinion?

Hi Ray (or is it Pa) central 1" bearings top and bottom. But we are getting a little ahead of the game, thats for tomorrow. Today was a second coat of finish, fit the tools, morror and fireplace for a final fitting and photo. I will strip it down in the morning and lay it down again to get access to the top and bottom to fit the bearings, weld the extension onto the poker and then thats about it. It was very cool in the workshop thisarvo and got tempted to light up. Feels pretty homey. It will also carry some of my usual embelishments

Looking good, Wheres the chimney go?

Hmm, I think this may just be a virtual fireplace

Virtual fireplace you say. Now if only we had virtual cold weather. Over the last few days at home I felt warmer at work as I work in the computer field and the data center is a constant 21 degrees.

Hi Christos, I don't mind the cooler weather, much better when you are working hard. I over heat in summer and it slows me down, I can work at full throttle this time of the year Very very wet here thismorning so glad I work under cover these days.
With air conditioning I was often out sliding around on wet rooves on days like this and wet roads doing service calls. NO thank you, I'll stay in my little workshop now.

Had to think (Pa!) LOL

Raining here all night long and windy, hope all is dry in the workshop Mark its looking good brilliant really. One of those false fire things would look good. I hope the owner of the Ford or Holden your knocking the wheel bearings off doesn't need them.

Looks great Claw Hama. You must be a very rich bloke to be able to go around and throw all those penny's away.

People will be saying "Watch out for the undercover copper in that coffee shop"

The whole idea brings to mind that scene in Young Frankenstein when Marty Feldman was standing next to the fire place and "revolving" at a dozen or more revs per minute
