Red Imperial Sequoia project

[Duke]

Well here it is. It needs a lot of love doesn't it? 



The inside is roached!



Any idea what this is?





It can definitly be repaired. I am thinking a complete sanding on the cart and fixing whatever is broken is a start. Then redoing the kettle and adding a sweet handle should do the trick. I can see several hours here.

Thanks for the rescue effort AJ!

Are you going to build a door, or it's not pictured?  Looks like it will look real clean once fixed up.  Doesn't appear that hard to do. 

[Duke]

Yeah, it's very doable. The door is sitting inside. I am thinking a complete refinishing would make it really nice. The old weber ad on these boasts the wood comes from Northern California. I think that's pretty cool in itself.

Can't wait.. Duke didn't say, but we had to sneak it past security into the Kettle Compund!

Yeah, that's how I threw my back out! lol..........

[Heyjude]

No Way, doing that? You must ahve twisted when you should have turned. I took a wrong step off a raised parking lot, (before I came by) I felt my back do a whoa. But all seems to be OK today.
Get better buddy!

Nice save!  You are posting pictures when done right?

Getting old is a bitch, ain't it?!

Any idea what this is?

Is this a lid hook?    I have always wondered where you put the lids on these and the Seville's when in use. Jeff? Brian? Sheldon? Confirmation? 

[Duke]

This sounds really stupid now, but since there are handles on both sides and we had to carry it across my sloped front yard I carried it facing away with my arms behind me.  That's what did it.

Yes Ron, I will post pictures when it's finished. Now off tho bed, my backs really in pain!

Yeah, that's how I threw my back out! lol..........

It's the "tension" of having to sneak, muscles are more contracted, more likely to whack the back......
Relax.....Remember to breathe....it's only a kettle.......

[Duke]

I bet either Jeff or Ed know what that thing is.

[Golly]

100% lid holder

[MartyG]

Yeah - but that bracket is bent up, and you need two. The lid will hang from the top handle - half underneath the body of the cart and half outside the cart. Thanks to Jeff I grabbed one of his shots from an earlier post.

[Jeff]

Nice job Marty.  You beat me to it.  Yeah Shaun, you are supposed to have two of those hooks.  One of yours is bent, the other is missing.

Here's a better pic.
