FOLBATE J1 refurb.

This is not a restoration because:

a) I did not like the original shade of green.

b) It is not rare and therefore worthy of restoring to original.

c) I wanted to do my own thing with it anyway.

d) I had an unopened tin of a 'quite nice' colour Hammerite Smooth.

Before and after pictures:  The bottom blade needs to be replaced.  I have some steel sheet of the right thickness to make one but have, as yet, been unable to remove the retaining screws.  A job for later. The 'new' rear roller has been temporarily borrowed from my similar Suffolk Sidewheel
