The following was not done by me.
But it was my workshop. The 2 MIS Members have a few health issues and need to be "takn by the hand" at certain times.
They are also very new to tools, how to ue them and what we as MIS can do.
They used no power tools only stuff I had to hand, or could be brought for pennies in town.
The 3 items are mine, but the restorations was all their work.
A Old chain splitter, a clutch tool and a valve tool.
All rusty and in need of TLC.
About to be boiled in Lemon juice and a bit of water. To remove the hard to get to rust. The rest removed with a pan scrubber and elbow grease.
Not to self, don't joke about things like that. One member spent 30 minutes trying to find some. The store staff came to bail be out.
Ooops.
After boiling in the lemon juice for 3 coffies and 4 Hob Nobs. The steel comes out a matt grey finish. A good wash in warm fresh water and a dry with a paint stripper.
A coat of 4 of bee's wax was applied.
