After 24 hours in the bath, probably 75% of the rust is gone after a light brush with the stainless wire toothbrush. Let’s see how it looks in 24 hours back in the bath.

Ok this is day two of soaking in the alkaline bath. I was a little surprised that the paint didn’t come right off with the pressure washer, but it is 100 years old. A little bit of wire brushing cleaned it off pretty easily. Dump the alkaline bath into another container, so I can add the...

That has come a long way, well done!

I recently got a new pair of the AirPod pros too. The noise reduction really takes the bite out of my noisy shop vac and my electric leaf blower, so I’m happy. The hearing aid feature, not so sure. I had to take the hearing test about four times. It kept cancelling out near the end of each test...

Vapor blasting (same as Vapor honing is a good option, but it really depends on what the final finish should be. If it is polished, you could chemically remove the oxidation and then buff polish if that’s what you’re after. The Vapor blasting leaves a smooth satin finish.

What does it taste like?
