My fault, when I wrote that I could see it happening :?

Thanks for all the support guys. No I haven't run it yet, have to finish cleaning it up, put her glasses on and fit the elements and thermo to new boiler.

I will unveil the finished beast soon, and will donate to the site for all the information and support I have received from this community :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Haha yeah I love the shine :D

Didn't polish these, just went the wire brush wheel. And then put a clear coat lacquer to maintain that colour.

I didn't want the complete mirror polish with this rig because there's been so much working (hammering), grinding and sanding, that it would show up all those areas and the rest would be a mirror. So this just gives it a nice even shine and blends all the working in a bit :handgestures-thumbupleft:
