Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Thank You for derusting them the way you did. Too often I've seen tools screwed up by wire brushing.

You don't. It soaks into the pores of the wood. Like cat urine it stays. After cleaning it well keep baking soda in it and change it often. That helps keep the smell down.

Vinegar. A piece as rusty as that gets left in for 2 hrs or so. Take a wire brush [brass] to remove the top layer of rust. Back in for a couple more hrs, scrub it down with a green scrubbing pad. Rinse it in water. Done. 4-5 hrs at the most.

And with a cast aluminum frame at that.

A lot of the old carpenters boxes were hand made. It served to show to an employer the skill of the carpenter. Before he was hired. Also showed what tools he had.

jawoodworker: Are those clear lenses plastic or glass ? May not be shatterproof. You might want to find safer lenses to fit the goggles.

Thanks jawoodworker. I can't remember if the memory is the first or second thing to go !!!

Possibly I saw it on another thread here on GJ ? Someone somewhere showed tools bought at a sale and threw in a picture of cast iron pineapples they also found. I don't remember where I saw it. AARRGH. I've always had a good memory but it's always been so damn short as far back as I can remember.

Does anyone remember who recently found a pair of cast iron pineapples ? I thought it was Outlawmws. Could you show the post # if possible. I scrolled through about 90 pages and didn't find the post. I found a pair this weekend and want to see just for giggles if they match.

If you have to tell someone that you ****.... You don't !!!

How did you do the rust removal ? Was the vinegar and baking soda mixed together ? How did that work out ? Never heard of a mixture of the two ?

I suggest you drill the pilot hole with a drill bit only. After the pilot is drilled, THEN use the hole saw to cut the hole. Trying to drill the pilot with the hole saw on is asking for a broken pilot bit and /or a twisted wrist when the hole saw grabs.

$150 breaks down to $10 a file there. You can buy new for less. And just get the ones you need or want.

Knowing your extraordinary attention to detail, I should have known !

I drop in occasionally to keep up with life in the center. This time was on page 448. Post #8954, second to the last image. You did a great job on rewiring Gus, now you need to complete it. I didn't go back to the original introduction and repairs to Gus to double check, but. It looks like you...

Private Lugnutz: G M T K OK found what that means later in your post. General Mechanics Tool Kit Q M C How about letting us civilians in on what that means ?

This post is just an attempt to keep this very interesting thread in view. Now, back to the 2015 thread. And to find the 2013 and 2014 threads.

I last looked in on you two on page 420. Then, let you get ahead of me a little. I've got 26 pages to catch up. I best get to gettin. This is an extraordinary read. Thank You.
