In the back of the workshop I've had some iron garden seat ends, that I painted a few years ago. Finally decided to do something with them. So some beech beams from a ship I've also had lying around, (The beams not the ship), found their way to a neighbours who's a joiner. There they were cut into strips to make seat slats. I then gave them three coats of yacht varnish. Today I put everything to gether. Carol is well pleased as she likes a variety of places to sit. Next on the list was the bench we have out on the green. It was an old park bench that was given to us some years back. About 20 I think. I'd done it up then, but the years have taken their toll. That soon ended up like below with the aid of the chainsaw. So it looked like this. After a couple of hours it is now ready for some paint.  To be continued. 

Very nice Norm.

Hi Ewan, Depending on whether SPA type belts are ok to use with Clutching/Idler pulleys which may be a cause of belt deterioration?, the SPA 732 belt (732mm) is sold as the INSIDE dimension (28.82 inches). Wheel Horse belts are/were measured around the Outer circumference, so a 732 will be greater than 29 inches. Presuming your replacement Pulleys are the same (Pitch) size as originals, and the distance apart is the same, then the belt should be ok. Snatched this off the Web as an example- Regards

Ah!, forgot you'd fitted other pulleys. I suspect you had better stick to SPA Section Belts. The Section is different to 'V' (13mm x 8mm) SPA is 13mm x 10mm. Which means you may have to stick to 732mm. No experience with that type.

Rest! What's that? Keep active you live longer.

You thought it was time for a rest Iain. AGAIN. Pleased to see Joseph had other idea's.
