But anyway no time for relaxing, There was a small gap between the handle and the top part and a few dents and scraped from where it had bounced off the concrete floor, these would have to be rectified. To do this I used a 2 part car body filler. Basically its a putty that you mix with a small abount of hardener, these two items chemically react with each other, heat up and start to harden. after about 20 minuted to filler is hard enough to sand down and work with.



So this became a long drawn out process over a few days of mixing the filler, filling the crack, waiting for it to dry and then sanding it back down. Again as with the wood the sanding is done with progressively finer grades of paper to achieve a smooth and consistent finish.
Eventually i was happy and it was time to seal the wood
