The chap who did my one, now belonging to Garry L, is the most accurate I have ever seen.
It is difficult to get right and many are a long way from correct.

The price was more than reasonable too.

Fantastic job.

Who did your vapour blasting and zinc plating as I'd like to get that quality of finish?

Thanks Steve

Hi All,
The Vapour Blasting was done by Trestans finishers of Southampton, and the tin ware, I cleaned up, buffed up and prep before taking to Hampshire electroplate for rezinc , also in Southampton, needless to say, very happy with the result...... :D

I was going to say it looks like it would have new in the showroom - but................ it's probably better than that!
