The crown guard had some holes drilled into it and some damage, so I thought I would try and braze it.

As I was brazing I noticed a hair line crack appear. I think it would of been better doing it with the mig using bronze wire, then their wouldn't have been so much heat.

We need some COVID therapy!!! Any more progress on the PK. You don’t know how much we appreciate your build progress. I went to take a picture the other day and when I looked at it, it wasn’t my machine work…. It was bloody me! So keep camera out of my hands! LOL

I am curious about how the way system looks as it’s first generation.

Nice finish. Did you use RAL 7011 ?
 
I’ve read this while I should have been getting my twins (4) ready for school there was utter chaos going on but kept I kept in reading , thanks very much for the post
 
@Mrs R see what we lined ourselves up for?

Mark this is truly inspiring, I'm completely in awe of this refurb, thank you ever so much for sharing.

And... You've given me some ideas for our refurbs :)

Woh 😯
What a work of art!
Seriously inspiring stuff there.
 
Anyone know what’s happened to Wallace? He hasn’t been on for nearly a year, used to really enjoy his posts.
 
He's active on WH2.
And to the best of my knowledge he no longer does restorations. Having finally settled on the machines he wants, he has converted his workshop back to woodwork.

He let his website go. If you're looking to date a Wadkin (no pun intended) go to the Canadian forum.

Cheers, Vann.
