    I've been cleaning/derusting/restoring a contractor table saw I got from junquecol's stash, and decided to give electrolysis a try. My setup involved two anodes which are 1/2" rebar zip tied to some old brake rotors I had lying around after I helped my neighbor change his brakes. The rotors have...

    Rust on my table saw

    I have been away from my shop for the last two weeks or so due to the start of the school year. As I was preparing things for the arrival for Irene I noticed some rust on my table saw. Most of it rubbed off with my finger but I would like to handle it before it gets to be a problem. How...

    Rust Removal - The best way?

    My father in law gave me a old antique draw knife and a large (3 wide x 18" long) wood rasp. Both need rust removal the draw knife more so than the rasp. What's the best way, rotten potato soup, water electrolysis or chemical? Thanks

    Plane Ol' Rust

    I just can't win ... everytime I touch my hand planes, especially the block plane, it starts to get little rust spots all over the place. I've covered it with T9, which does the trick on cast iron but it doesn't last nearly as long. It must be the moisture and acids mix in my hands that just...

    Has anyone here used (purposefully) rust as a stain? Ive done some searching and only come up with a few very brief comments about it. I noticed it in my kitchen floor as i was refinishing it, that the face nailed boards had beautiful dark streaks that seemed to follow the grain like a...
