The Boxford building has beeb stood outside for 4 year now awaiting a permanent location but the paint is peeling in places so a scrape and a sand down followed by an application of thinned linseed oil on the bare wood areas, when this has soaked in and dried we can repaint to areas.

The transatlantic shipping sign from the days is having all the rust removed mechanically before filling and repainting, This is a long job as the sign base metal is badly pitted and it all needs to be mirror finish to slow the rust down.

Natures growth spurt was noticed in the 1874 building gutter so out with the ladder and remove a gutter full of dead leaves and moss doing this we also spotted a broken slate that needed immediate repair. The front of the building was much cleaner.

The mystery engineering tool is standing in the yard taking up space so time to get it freed off so the heavily rusted parts can move again a soak with oil followed by being got red hot then cooled and re oiled has got a few handles and a clamp moving. So time to leave it soaking in oil so it can creep through the joints.
