Because its never too far gone!
Today I begin my first true TOTAL restoration.
Not even sure what it is yet, but I have decided to name it Fox (Ferrous Oxide) get it?
Poor thing was in the bottom of a toolbox in a damp basement for who knows how long. I had to pry it open!
Lets see what I can do to... I mean WITH it!

For some reason, I have full faith it'll be beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it!

Thats an ambitious restoration, but I'm sure it will make a great before and after pic when your finished.
Whats the plan, hand sand, greasless?

Tell me what make of wet and dry paper you favour so I can buy some shares - I suspect their sales are about to go up substantially...

Some hand sanding, and some free hand grinding. a bit of greaseless just to see what it might look like. The pitting goes fairly deep, I dont think it will be possible to remove it all without turning a wedge into a full hollow!
Opinions? ( I know the pics suck, stupid shiny making me)
