Before
Painted brown & white. Surface rust on grinding disks. Shattered bowl and cover.
During restoration
Careful spot welding by a local expert !
Sandblasting & cleaning of entire mill.
Finished hopper and cover after a little filling and a hand full of blisters from handsanding ! Patience pays off !
Red coat of paint
Masking for blue.
A quick removal of the "mask" while the paint is still wet gives me the best results.
