Here are the latest bowl pictures.
These are some the patches I did with JB weld.
The inside where I used metal tape for backing to hold the JBweld. I just leave these inside when the job is done for extra strength. The you can see the large washers I also JB welded in place. You can also see the rivets I used to secure the straps.
Here it is after the paint.
The color match and patches aren't perfect, but you can't see them when the bowl is set in the cart. It's strong enough to last another fifty years though.
Next I have the doors and hardware to finish. I am looking at the end of this week or early next to to have it complete. So stay tuned.
