Have you decided on a finish?

Erring towards wax rather than teak oil

Erring towards wax rather than teak oil

I think that will look really nice, I've seen pictures of other mahogany finished with bee's wax. I may go that route myself in the future.

Like new again, bit of black paint and we should be good to complete the WG2000 by the end of the week!!

 

[LMichaels]

Nicely done!

 

[Cody Bratton]

That wood looks fantastic! Are those just plain 1/4-20 nuts? This winter I want to do a 2000 with new wood. But the scariest part to me is the spacing

 

[Paul Warner]

We have more progress and the end is in sight!

Firebox painted with HH paint, tried a roller for application but not sure its better than brush. I have had mixed results
with rattle cans too but still along way from being satisfied with any finish (i was irked at the dribble, I was sober I promise)

This has been more of a replacement than a refurb as stated but i think the end result will be ok, just the end caps to paint
and assemble lid and add handle.

New burners
New flav bars
New igniter
New warming rack
New drip pan and holder
New slats and handle
New z bars
New castors
NOT New wheels (damn you Weber!!!)
Weber grates we all know and love (9mm baby!!)
Firebox & end caps glass blasted
Frame just cleaned/polished

I will post more pics when complete

Fantastic Paul!! Can't wait to see it finished

Looking awesome so far! If you haven't already thought of it, use a black sharpie to color in the pointers on the knobs. It makes them look factory fresh.

Thanks Steve, top tip right there! I will need to get a sharpie first!

Cheers, end caps painted earlier, now drying so should be completed tomorrow

Have you tried using Testors black on the knobs pointers?

Have you tried using Testors black on the knobs pointers?

No. In my case I'm sure I would get paint all over the knob. The sharpie better matches my skill level at that.

Aside from a feeling of falling off a cliff, it looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

 

[Paul Warner]

Apart from some v minor finishing touches we are done. Now, do I keep or sell!?!!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Very nicely done Paul!!
If you're not sure I would maybe consider listing it for more than it's worth to you and if it doesn't sell it's a keeper.

 

[LMichaels]

Very nice job there.

 

[Steve Hoch]

She's a beauty!

That is gorgeous! Love that deep burgundy lid with that great looking wood! I would love to see it in the sun, at sea level.
