[Winz]

One more project to finish, and a few wardrobe items are needed!

You are going all the way and buzzing your hair, right?

Awesome work on that caddy! It looks brand new and will survive for many more WKC generations to come. I can't wait to see the remake of the old catalog it will be epic.

When you got into the project was there any evidence of the cover ever being that brass color?  Do you think there were different colors?
Looks awesome...

There was ZERO evidence of any copper color to the top when I got it.  Even after I started sanding into it, nothing.   I saw some black paint on top.  It kind of matched the body of the caddy, but was very thin.  I haven't seen many of these things to know if they DIDN'T come with a copper top.  I went with the color anyways cause I think it looked good.

I don't have one of those.  The only one I've even seen is the Rowley one that's in the Accessories section of our Vintage Grill Gallery.  They are pretty cool though.

What an incredible amount of work and detail.  It looks wonderful.

Great restoration and a very cool piece. Did you do anything to the inside?
It would look awesome next to a Copper SS..
Right WInz?  Lol..

I've been waiting to see this... that thing looks amazing! Yet another great example of "Rescue, Restore, Respect". Thanks for posting... now get it to the Gallery!

Top notch work!

Now I want one.

I forgot to ask. How does it work? I have always pondered that. My guess is that you remove the lid and hold it low near the ground, then tilt/pivot the bottom over to fill the lid and dump that into the grill? Does it seem like that's the way it was meant to work?
