And after all that he still didn't fit a decent thick iron  Still very nice to see the process and as Dom says, his tool cabinets are as good as his furniture. So he must be an amateur ;D Scrit |

Fab. Only point - I hear tell stainless steel electrodes are a BAD idea - IIRC some of the metal salts that end up in the electrolyte are particularly unhealthy.

I think he didn't replace the iron because it's a vintage, square cornered "Sweet Heart" iron. They're highly thought of by Stanley collectors, apparently.
Impressive work all round, I'd say.

Nice one., About the same procedure as I do, except I do all the screws, botls en rods and the adjustment wheel on the lathe. and I use original japanning instead of epoxy. Oh and thanks I think for the calling armature (only my bench does not have those nice doors ) |

Not something I'd do to a #2 personally - assuming I ever saw one.  Well actually the refinishing I wouldn't even do to a #4, so I may be a teeny bit biased in that respect.  Cheers, Alf |

I'm probably the only person you'lll ever find using Sweetheart tools out doing installations. Well it's nice to know that there's something on site older than me ;D Goes to show I'm just a user, I suppose..... Scrit |
