His Majesty

[1948berg]

On the occation of my 250th post I think a Royal visit would be proper.
I saved this Majesty from the scrapyard some years ago. Yesterday I installed him in my workshop. He stands 10 feet tall! I am very proud of him.

Very nice! How did you clean him up?

Hand held wire brush, graphite wax and a cloth.

Uh, you missed a spot

I knew it, had to come!

My brother restored an old Dodge 46 truck, totally,- brakes, suspension, engine, gearbox, differensial, body, interior, instruments -the lot.
What did people had to say? Hey, there is a little "sag" in the paintwork here!

Job Well done Gunnar

 

[Jim_S]

don't pay attention to them, both His Majesty and your brother's Dodge look great!

Gunnar, now that's really cool .... the Dodge isn't bad either.

Beautiful! You're shop has mine way out-classed with that.

That truck is sweet too!

He is beautiful and the Dodge also, try a little old fashioned black lead polish (used in the old days to black lead grates) and still used today. Rub some on with a cloth or a soft brush (tooth brush - old one- is handy for the intricate bits) then polish off with a soft brush, you will be amazed at the result.

Nice find Gunnar.
Lots of elbow work on both restorations.
Thanks for posting I have never seen a stove like that
