You can see what I was talking about with the drips of varnish. The builder was not a finish type of guy as there is varnish part way down the aluminum supports. One is round stock aluminum and the other is angle stock.
The bowl is in fantastic shape. No crazing anywhere. Bowl vents cleaned up nicely.
Both the lid and bowl cleaned up now. Before I get beat up, the lid is resting on a pillow, not on the brick wall for this photo.
And finally with the table removed. It was impossible to try and work on this thing with the table attached. Now I can start working on the legs, triangle and the dreaded ash pan. My repair on the flat tire is great as long as I don't try and roll the kettle. For now I just carry it around like it's disabled.
