I uploaded pics of the 5 1/4 I finished today on the binaries.
About 2 days work. Flatening the sole took almost a day, it was very concave. Wish
I had a surface grinder...

I also started work on a #4 from the 1800s. I refinished the tote and knob ,
cocobola I think.. I had to glue the tote back together first. The mouth was all
disfigured.. filed it straight across not a big deal since it was behind the
blade... No pics... I boxed it back up and left it for another day.. it needs sand
blasting, so I can refinish the casting and get rid of the heavy rust.

Thinking of buying the HF sand blasting cabinet. I like refinishing tools, think it
might pay.

Back to work tomorrow.

I use electrolytic derusting on tools I refurbish as it doesn't remove any of
the base metal - only the rust.
