G'Day All,
Well, after starting 10 years & 5 months ago, the Aveling roller project is now complete. During that time I have logged 1405 hours of workshop time on it.
The final component parts totalled 477 individual parts, some of which have been assembled into fabricated assemblies such as the carburettor, the front roller forecarrige etc. The parts list does not count the threaded fasteners used on the frame & chassis. This has been a bar stock build.
Trying to paint the timber canopy with automotive paint proved to be an impossible task (for me anyway) as the paint did not like the timber even though & was sealed & undercoated. I hade no end of trouble trying to obtain a decent finish. Finished up using spray pack enamel. I used rifle barrel cold blackening solution on all of the threaded fasteners & was very happy with the results. Simple to use & cheap.
Regards,
Don.
