    Mick, I’ve just binge-watched all three episodes. Utterly absorbing! The end result was of course magnificent - but it was the way you calmly overcame each difficulty as you met it that was particularly inspiring. In my view you are proof that what happens in people’s sheds is one of the things that makes this country great. And by the way, you have a father-son relationship that you should feel proud of. 👍🏻👍🏻 Go Riley!

    As a cylinder mower enthusiast, i can say you have done a really good job on that mick, my only bit of advice would be to never leave paint on the cutting surfaces (ends of cylinder and bed knife edge) otherwise cracking result mate 👍

    @bananabrooks3836 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wonder how much it sold for? Good mowers, except when the lawn surface is bumpy and the rollers slip if ground is wet. They could do with longer handles and l find the original grips are too hard without gloves. lt gets your muscles warmed up to push, (try to find a light viscosity grease for the drive side lube). Sensitive to adjustments but easy to do once practiced.

    • @themowerman
      @themowerman  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It sold for good money.. yeah if your over 5foot 8 it's too small for you

  • @BensWorkshop
    @BensWorkshop 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There's an echo in the audio.... ;) Top job. I suspect the rollers were originally covered in some oil finish. You might want to see if there is any advice out there. That said, after I sanded down the handles on my garden sheers and put boiled linseed oil on they ended up looking the same!
