Well I see I’ve been dragging the chain, especially seeing that e-paw has finished one of his challenges, done a great job, and he was crook as well!! But I have progressed!!! I can see why the paint was so thick because of the amount of flash still on the shell, so have spent a bit of time trying to get rid of it all.
I’ve also managed to drill all (?) 35 #79 holes for the grab irons and only broke one drill bit!
Yahoo!!!!! ”one small step for man, one big step for a Bear...”
I fortuitously found just enough Tichy drop grab irons but still have to finish the others required, including the lift rings. (I have a confession to make. Once upon a time, while secretly admiring their dedication, I would shake my head over those who would remove cast on grab irons, and especially lift rings, to fit new ones. Madness, I would think, after all how many of the Great Unwashed would notice? Now I’m doing it!!! I can only attribute it to doctorwaynes “Slippery Slope Theory”).
Oh well onwards (and sideways),
Cheers, the Bear.
