Tin man

It must be about 6 weeks ago when Brian first started sanding down the metal table. I’d mentioned that we’d bought this old table a few years back from a small brocante in Bar-sur-Seine. It was covered in thick paint and was showing some significant rust patches.

Brian did a great job in taking it back to just the metal. However since then he has been using some car filler to fix the holes, after he had treated the rust, and where the holes were really bad he added some tin underneath to provide a base for the filler.

We are now at the point of painting it which is where I come in. The table top is looking much stronger with all the holes filled and fixed, and with a final rub down. I am now using an off white hammerite enamel paint to cover it. This will provide some good protection.
