Bringing this back to life. She has been with me this many 20 years and has seen the most use in the last ten here at SilverWorks.
Faithfully tumbling students’ work day in and day out she finally succumbed to some radical rusting. Once undertaking the project thinking I was going to just give her a thoughtless coat of spray paint I was inspired into a full blown restoration. Thanks to Bryan oiling it, and going to the hardware store with a chip of paint thinking that he might find something close, the guy at the store got into the act and mixed an industrial quality matching paint and asked if we wanted it to be recorded in their database as “Tumbler Blue”. LOL.
Truth be told it will take me years to use up the quart that we had to purchase to bring this old girl back but it was well worth it after seeing her with her nice new coat.
