Looks like the parts of mine that I hit with the wire wheel. But the mag tarnishes super fast. Did you spray something on there to protect it, or are you planning on painting it? |

I'm just using some basic tools. most of all just hamer and dolley/sandbag but sometimes also the english wheel and shrinker or stretcher!

sanding and some polishing.. nothing fancy at all. to finish of some clear varnish to keep it that way now lets wait and see what this will look like in 1à years

You painting this winter? |
Thanks, probably around Mai next year... That's the goal...  We're moving into our new home at that time as well and then I could move the oval to his new homs as well after painting!
