Diver Posted May 9 #1 Posted May 9 My son found this in a shed at a work site and was told he could have it. I spent some time sanding with emery cloth to get all the rust out. I used a small wire brush in my Dremel to get into the deeper pitting. Then it was onto some Gun Bluing and oil. The handle was done with sand paper and WOP. I think it turned out ok.

Wawona59 Posted June 9 #2 Posted June 9 I love antique woodworking tools. You've done a first-rate job bringing this tool back to life. It's nice to see an old tool brought back to usable condition.
