Dining Room Radiator Refurb

I picked up this dining room radiator four years ago. At the time it was plumbed into a hot water system and I imagine not working too well. I piped it into (mostly) one pipe steam system sometime thereafter and finally sandblasted and bronzed it as part of my (slow! one man) kitchen renovation. Plenty more to do to get the kitchen online but I thought this group would appreciate the radiator!

Thanks,

Patrick

    Lovely. How did you bronze it? A bronze powder in some kind of paint base?

    Nice! And is the expression on your kid's face his reaction to having to help move it? 😓

    That's beautiful! But does it heat well? Usually if the air vent is on the same side as the supply valve, the vent will close when steam fills the first section, preventing most of the radiator from heating.
