Jeeeezus!

That is one serious boiler mate.

I'm guessing that there'll be an equally as shiny thing sitting on top of it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks guys - there's some really great compliments there :D
I'm actually 3/4 done on a second keg for a friend as well
All that was used to clean up & polish is in the picture below,

First step is to use a small 3" die grinder / sander & get rid of all the crap, Even some 800 wet & dry in soapy water to get rid of the orange peal look
then get busy with the josco cut & polish kit on the drill grey compound first on the cutting wheel then green on the polish wheel, wipe that of & hit it with some autosol this is the part where you get to step back & go :scared-eek: that's bloody shinny

Phwoar! Top work mate.

You're going to have to fill that boiler up pretty full to keep both elements covered... Unless you use the top one just for heat up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What's going on top? :)
