Another milestone - we have now finished treating and strengthening the 1911 wheels. Each one has had a coat of preservative and stainless steel screws have been distributed around the rims.
After the timber, we have now started on the wheel irons. These are being rubbed down, and a coat of primer applied. They will be finished with a top coat of dark blue.
Up in the belfry, things are pretty much ready for the return of the Rudhall bells and the headstocks.
Here are the 3rd and 2nd (with a headstock) tucked away in the SE corner.
