I have just finished the restoration of this piece. I am really happy with the results as this is a true museum piece. Circa 1919, the wheels and spokes are steel with wooden inserts . The original condition was really good and I have been careful not to ruin its original integrity.
The steel spokes and wooden inserts were just scuffed and repainted with no repair. The black steel work was repainted and the timber just cleaned and shellacked.
I'm very impressed with your work!
thanks. i have a bit of an advantage. http://www.waynephipps.com.au
At least it wasn't that obnoxious AH, Rick's Restorations!
Ha ha. I only restore stuff for myself. Repair smashed cars for others.
St. Maarten is a good place for you to open a branch. They even put park benches at the round-a-bouts so people can watch crashes in comfort.(Although maybe not so safely).
Job well done. I have a vintage wife that needs to be restored. No category for that on here yet. She still baits her own hooks and is a good cook so I guess it will wait.
I could do that, but I live in Australia.
I was talking a one way ticket but she is cooking right now so put it on hold.
fhr, I can put a smile on her face! Send pic of her fishing gear. LOL!!
Be aware she won't take a shark or sting ray off the hook. I could ship her C.O.D.
we do a bit of plastic surgery.
has to be prepaid fhr with a return ticket. Is she a good cook? Is there a dowry? Yeah, I think I'm over that "chicken-gumbo" virus! Sean, are you missing all this? I'm back to abnormal! Has anybody notified staff that we have a runaway poste? LOL!
Jacky is fine wayne but I could maybe do with a bit. Like the plastic surgeon who hung himself. Never mind. Just took a look & think gravity has already taken care of that. LOL!!
