jrsalas Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Wow that's a cool find T MAN, i bet it has some value after you restore it. I usually do a lot of gentle wire brushing to get the rust off then a lube of choice.Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbw55 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 For small projects these work good and cheap..... http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200628384_200628384 http://www.harborfreight.com/portable-abrasive-blaster-kit-37025.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsalas Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Is clr a good rust remover or what else would work Sent from my SGH-I337M using TapatalkPhosphoric acid, you can find it at Sherman Williams or HD sometimes. That's pretty heavy duty stuff but it will rip it right off and all you have to do is spray it. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great non corrosive option. CLR works but not sure how well on something that corroded.

Atlas2000 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 You guys are making me feel real old! I bought one just like it brand new in 1975. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I use electrolysis for all my rust removal. Probably not worth it for such a small piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Possibly try soaking it in Coca cola.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingShotTools Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Very Cool! Don't forget to consider polishing up the wood handle at the same time. A basic, light oil (e.g., teak) should do. Good Luck. Let us know how it comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
