These last couple of evenings have been spend grinding all the rust and old paint off the perch bracket, front forks and the flywheel.

 Perch bracket before gringing and painting with red oxide (plus chimney which has been replaced)

Perch bracket afterwards. The inside still needs to be done.

 The front forks before grinding and painting and.....

after half was rubbed down and painted.

before and after half of the flywheel was rubbed down.
All three of these are now going to be lifted and turned over so the other halfs can be cleaned and painted.
Going to be working on riveting the new firebox together tomorrow with dad. First time riveting so will mostlikely get burnt atleast once.
