Certainly looks nice now! Hope you post a follow up video cutting tenons with it. Even with the closing shot on the table saw, I am having trouble picturing how exactly it works.
I would recommend 3M roloc bristle discs for significant rust removal on cast iron beds and surfaces like that. Gentler than the wire wheel and faster. Kind of rubs it off instead of scratching it off.
What you did is by and large unnecessary. This is not some look into a better time in history when they "made them like they used to." This exact style of tenoning jig is still made today. This is late-stage Delta, when they were making crap. If you wanted to make a truly compelling video, you could've lapped down the atrocious Delta machining marks from those cast iron surfaces to reveal a more polished surface. Any of Delta's more expensive tools were machined flat and to a higher surface finish. The level of machining exhibited by this piece was on their average and lower grade tools, and reflects a dull fly cutter taking too big of a bite and/or travelling at too high of a traversal speed. As a bonus, it would've removed the surface rust at the same time.
I could buy a new one sure, but why would I when I already had one I could fix? Also, it will cut tenons just the same with or without a perfectly polished surface.

When I use it I will post a short video showing it in use!

Also Boeshield T-9 application prior to wax for much longer lasting results.
I don’t usually use the wire brush for rust removal, but it was pretty heavily on there. Seems like it turned out ok.
I used naphtha to clean off the wd-40 prior to applying wax. Not making a base layer of grease/lubricant and then applying wax on top.

@@1836craftsman both statements are true, but miss my point.
