Hi All I picked this stokes mortar up a few weeks ago and thought I would show you what I have done to it, I gave it a good wire brush and a soak in de rust dip for a couple of days, it needed a bit of filla so turned it in the lathe to get it right and a few coats of paint, all I have to do now is make a leaver for it which is the hardest part, if anybody has a relic one that they don't want i would be interested.
