1893 Bellows Restoration

The restoration of the bellows was a joint funded project between our past
blacksmiths widow, Barbara Rovere and a Q150 Grant received in 2009.

The actual leather was replaced for us by Earles Leatherwork (Maryborough)

The stripping and reassembling was done by our own volunteers.
There are over 1500 nails around the outside of the leather.
This project will be completed by August 30th 2009 for our Q150 Open Day
