Beer engine refurb

[scotia]

Well the kits finally arrived after much faffing around with RM, sent on the 15th received on the 23rd just as well it was first class post.



I would advise taking as many pics as poss I managed to assemble the water jacket 180 around the wrong way not a problem to resolve though.



I only managed to assemble two as there are two different size of plynths for the Homark and you guessed it I recieved the wrong one the replacement is in the post tonight so lets see how RM do this time.

Wow what a set up I am with envy. Did you make the bar yourself too? Thanks for sharing.

The bar was an old pulpit which came from a church in Edinburgh still trying to find out exactly which one either st Margarets or The Guthrie memorial in Easter Road it dates from 1818 or 1881.
I had a friend down from the Isle of Lewis last month on a working holiday to give me a hand.

Modified to existing shape.



Diluted nitromores and thinners applied



Washed down with thinners and scotchbrite



Further wash down with celulose thinners



Danish oil applied.The bar top was the 13" square pitch pine beams that held the upper stalls in the church cut into slabs 3/4" thick



Further coats of danish oil
