Thanks Adam! Time and patience are a must when it comes to restorations. In fact, I bring up the same thing it part 3 ... Slow down and take your time or you'll end up breaking something.
When I first started restoring I would knock out a machine (drill press, tablesaw, lathe, etc.) in less than a week. I then learned to slow down and think things through before diving right in. This machine www.shanewhitlock.com/images/fwwm.jpg took me almost 6 months to restore.

I like that you have penetrating oil in a squirt bottle. I hate that when ya spray it out of a can it goes everywhere and waste most of it.

[@bencartee2113]

If you add Kerosene and Mineral Spirits you have Ed's Red.

Ya sure do, good stuff for cleaning firearms! I've got a bottle of it mixed up in my gun cleaning supplies.

[@bencartee2113]

Yea, used it for awhile but switched back to Hoppes...addicted to the smell.

The acetone don't mess the sqwert bottle up

[@SWPhotography]

It will some types of plastics, but not this one. I've been using this bottle for 10 years or more.
