Thread: Restoring a B.J. Eyre & Co Challenge, looking for some advice

Thanks for the link and advice. I actually just finished a very light sanding and another run of Mothers. I taped over the face of the blade to cover the stamp and used some 400 and 600 grit wet dry just to get the active rust off. Once that came off, I went back to the Mothers. There is still pitting and some darkening, but I didn't want to grind off more than was necessary. A few members mentioned possibly leaving some of the imperfections on it. Thinking about it, it's great advice.

I still have the scales and the spacer, though the scales have seen better days. I have some wood slats that will be coming in the mail next week, so I will most likely try my hand at making some new scales.
