That looks rather splendid that Kevin. I do like the brass topped chimney.

It is used to blacken metals. I am not a fan of polished brass so I find easier to use than paint and it is durable.

Thanks Tom for explaining this to me what I could do is leave the brass so it oxidises naturally so it looks more used and not polished.
