    I've been performing this job for 50 years and my first move is to soak the metal objects in kerosene for several days - all bolts & nuts free-up and rust is magically loosened. If the object is large, I wrap it in burlap then saturate with kerosene. 😊

      Found a 36 caliber Colt years ago, totally rusted up, dropped it into a bucket of coal oil and forgot it. About four months later the 💡came on. Disassembly, no problem, little 00 except for the pits, like new.

    My sister frequented farm estate sales in southern Saskatchewan looking for interesting tidbits like this. Not for resale but because she found them interesting. She gave me one of these wrenches before she passed. It is in very nice condition and with a bit of oil it works as it was intended to. I have it in my shop on the wall and like to show it off but it's amazing that someone went to the trouble to make this and patent it.

    The copper looks good with the bluing you did. The only problem is it's going to very obvious when you get any nicks and scratches on it. I would have gone with nickle myself. But that only matters if you're intending on using it or not.

  • @billdouglas1721
    @billdouglas1721 4 місяці тому

    The copper plating was a nice touch, but how well did it adhere in the long run? I thought that to copper plate you first had to nickel plate, because copper wouldn't adhere directly to steel, cast iron, aluminum, whatever, without the intermediate plating of nickel. The copper doesn't plate the part itself, right? Instead, the copper plates the nickel plating. Or did I miss something?

  • @jamesklebenow6885

    I saw the blue solution and immediately thought it was copper solution, then second guessed myself because I’ve never seen copper plating for a restoration 😅 looks great though. I am curious if your thought to use copper wool for the polish step. Would that have helped?

    • @misteroddjobs

      Hi there! the glass bowl I use is a glass stovetop cooking pot. Make sure your Pyrex is meant for high heat and I think it would be fine. I just use basic motor oil but just about any oil will do. I've used corn oil in the past with similar results. Thanks for watching and commenting!
