story without words, for my first post

wow. very very NICE! Welcome to the forum

Btw I could've also posted a reply without words but thats a bit hard to do :mrgreen:

Did you do that coating yourself? It looks very nicely done. It also seems like you painted it twice, or something... :roll:

Very nice restoration job.

So the first coat of red paint bubbled off from the heat of the boiler?

Very impressive! The red is really hot!
Great job.

Let me say first off - what a great job. If there is a next time, I'd consider polishing and electroplating. Near where I live there are a few boutique electroplaters, and providing you finish the base metal properly they'll plate it - in gold - if you feel the need. Anyway: c'est incroyable.

thank you for your appreciations.
Well it's a story without words also because my English is poor...

Well, the first color has bubble at the time of drying in the furnace of the kitchen.

The second painting was dried in étuveuse (word right?) and I used metallized painting.
It is amusing, I thought of having questions about the pid and one speaks to me about painting

OK, so here we go! Where did you put the thermocouple? I wonder you are measuring the metal temperature at the bottom so you have steam and a little bit of pressure inside the machine (hotter water temp) so you can draw water to the puck just rising the lever...

Márcio.

Good thought,

and great pictures story! Do tell about the PID. Those are your set temperature numbers on display during the shot? PID'd for sweet extraction but little preinfusion pressure, minimal steaming pressure? Is the diagram yours or from a PID kit?

I do like a good love story, and this one has a happy ending. Congratulations. Well done.
