Another Cannon

[Specster]

Specster,
Thank you for your work on this project. The picture of the "before" cannon shows that you came along to clean things up in the nick of time.

rgds,

Thanks Booner,

I was back today, to apply the finish coat, and I told my girl that since the work was done in increments, it would be inperceptable to most people. At first I tried to get help with cost and labor from where ever I could find it. In the end, I am glad I did it myself, at my own expense and few know that. I have one or two more coats of finish paint ( high gloss black from Rustolium), and i should be done with the cannon. I am doing some other things with the base and the landscaping.

Again, thanks for you interest.

Just about finished.

I went over the inscriptions in white to highlight them

 

[Specster]

Now I have to cut in the black and put a clear laquer over everything. Any suggestions

 

[Booner]

clear coat? probably a gloss to match the paint

 

[Specster]

Basically done

An outstanding job, you would hardly know that it is the same gun that you started with.

I really like how you highlighted the numbers. More than likely I'll never see this cannon in person, but I thank you again for your work in it's preservation. It's an inspiration to us all.

It is things like this that give me hope, so many of our monuments are rusting away with no one that has the interest to preserve them. Excellent work and thank you.
