Sawzall shows Hutch Expert who's the expert
« on: January 14, 2013, 02:13 PM »
Phil recently helped me restore a Hutch I picked up here. I'd seen many Sawzall posts featuring wizard like craftsmanship, but it was only when this returned I began to realise how Phil earned his legendary status. 

The frame originally had a seat post well and truly stuck, and any attempt to twist it out, was shredding it to pieces.
The brake bridge had a section cut out and was cracked.





I originally asked if it was possible to remove the post, and roughly patch weld the bridge in exchange for some forks.

Phil removed the post using a combination of drilling and dissolving, and replaced the brake bridge.
On top of that- He also volunteered to stirip the 5 layers of paint off, levelled out the little dents and chips, and primered it.
He did a sterling job and now it looks like freakin' new!





Thanks Phil, Free t-shirt on the way to you mate!

I'm glad Phil Sawzall's work is no where near as shoddy as my headline.

I didn't recognise it when it returned-
It's possible he threw mine away, bought a nos one, and sent the new one back to me  ;D

Wildon, the brake bridge is a new custom made plate.
You're project sounds veerrrryy interesting though, can't wait to see the pics.

About time he stopped doing other people favours and got on with my work  :knuppel2: :knuppel2:  :D


Done a fantastic job and also went the extra mile with the dent repairs and priming.  :4_17_5:



One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
