Never mind the hammer [BANNED TEXT] jig lead paint all the way. Have a horse cart here that my grandfather made in the 50s and he painted it with lead paint. It's still like brand new. Pity it's banned.

so thats why you were asking me about hammerite paint you old sly dog lol

Haha, no that would be way beyond my capabilities.

 

This is what I was asking you about, I might just about manage this? A pot/bastible and hanger, I'm going to make a bit of a garden feature out of it and put a few plants in it. Well thats the plan anyway.

it a beet crusher, the hoppers missing yes it would look nice sand blasted and painted for a garden ornament.

I'm not into this kind of thing, but when I saw it, I thought the same thing, it would make a great garden ornament.

 

Beet crusher seems to be the general consensus, however below is the type of beet/turnip crusher that would have been normally used in this area and you would see a lot of them around.

 

The pictures above looks like a more sophisticated machine.

 

The man that owns the land now, thought it was used for crushing/shredding furze for feed/bedding?
