One for the machinery restorers...

I met Bruce and his Wadkin PK before it was pink. I bought an AGS12 off of him. He's a Lovely chap, and the chairs and other furniture he makes are real quality. I just moved my 2 Wadkin PKs from the barn into the workshop for renovation, they will not be pink, purple or tartan. Probably grey

May I suggest a very suitable colour for a wadkin (rustolium) Verdi rustolium colours are scarce at the present time and I’ve just restored a wadkin 9” surface planer so I purchased 450ml dark green 450ml dark blue 450 ml white all in hammered hammerite mixed them together and it was great if you’ve ever seen the colour of the very first Dewalt Ras saws with the curved arms that’s the colour it really suits a wadkin

Ps sorry but what is a pk is it short for planer/thicknesser

It's the model of the machine, a Wadkin PK is a saw with a sliding table.
