Removing Old Cord...

While we were at the binnacle I decided I'd get the wheel dipped and powder-coated. This meant removing the old coach-whipping around the rim. The whipping had been soaked in glue and then painted; couldn't cut it off with a saw, and couldn't take it off with a heat gun. Had to use a disc grinder to cut if off! There was a lot of oxide buildup - looks like that whipping had been on for decades.
