A week or so ago I posted here asking for opinions about the WWII
table saw blade. Based on the comments I got here I decided to buy
one. Wow! I think I could split the atom with that thing!

I got psyched up and finally used the Rust Remover and Boshield I've
had on the shelf for a while, (also something that I learned about
here). I've had this machine for forty years and it was old when I
got it. Now, the table is back to being metallic silver.
Unbelievable.

You guys really gave me a good steer.

I came across this on the net. Next time I'm away for a couple of
weeks I may try this with the upright support of the drill press.

Fun home experiment using a potato but two weeks and you still need
elbow grease?

Recently I acquired a couple of hand planes, chisels and other older
Stanley tools that were fairly rusted from being out in Grandpa's old
work shed. I didn't want to damage the enamel, so I skipped
electrolysis and harsh chemicals and tried Evapo-Rust. This stuff
works like a charm! In 30 minutes all surface rust was gone and in
several hours even the toughest and deepest rust was gone.

Best part is this stuff is non-toxic and biodegradable and even leaves
a protective coating that will last for several weeks. I managed to
clean all my rusty tools with one pint. I was skeptical, but not
anymore. So if you've got some ugly rust to deal with, check it out...
