I can do that. I have some before and after pictures of it. I will dig them out.

Some will never be ready to be released from the Matrix.

I'm not sure I want to know what the vice was used FOR... Did you have to use ultraviolet light to see them?

He listened to AvE.

If I have to clean my tools the way that guy did, leave me plugged in...

Beautiful! What is your day job?

Looks beautiful. Really should look into electrolysis tank. No elbow grease required. It’s also an easy way to restore cast iron skillets and dutchovens.

You can also remove centuries of gunk from 16th century cannon as well. The Children's museum has a display where they are actually doing that in one of their labs... Running current through the cannon in a bath that causes the corrosion, barnacles, scale, etc to detach from the metal without harming the cannon itself. Pretty damned cool.
