Preformer rebuild
« on: October 25, 2022, 03:02:37 PM »
Month long rebuild for a $20 facebook find. I had a special edition red kettle and bowl in the attic clean and sanded the table and fresh paint.  I drilled the gas assist in the red kettle and added handle I ordered from amazon.

You had to drill the holes out bigger or farther apart?
