It's great to see it running, Jim. It will be even better once it is painted and final assembly is complete!

Thanks guys.

This wasn't my first time working with castings, but was my first time working with cast iron.

Time to disassemble it, clean up the castings and get paint work done. I also think a nice wood base will be in order.

Definitely give it a nice wooden base - that will really set it off.

Now for the question - the big one - the hardest question of all.........

What colour are you going to paint it?

 :Lol:  ;D

Forging ahead regardless.

At this point I'm thinking the same green that I've been using on my P & W. Although that could change.

That will look good.

I've no idea why I thought that question was amusing earlier on.  :embarassed:

Sorry 'bout that.

The amusing part will be if I actually get it painted.  :ROFL: I can already feel my thoughts drifting, so I better get after it tomorrow.
