That looks rather splendid that Kevin. I do like the brass topped chimney.

Chemical blackener required if it was mine

Thanks Jim and Tom she is getting there a little bit at a time, Tom with me being new can I ask what is chemical blackener and how is it used.

It is used to blacken metals. I am not a fan of polished brass so I find easier to use than paint and it is durable.

Thanks Tom for explaining this to me what I could do is leave the brass so it oxidises naturally so it looks more used and not polished.
