Finally figured out how to get pictures from my computer to a web site and to here.
The nail set and plumb line were purchased new and didn’t need restoration :-)
All in all very pleased with the citric acid solution, so highly recommend it.

Mark,
This is a wonderful job. You have some first class tools now.

Yeah Im very happy with the results, i’m using wax to keep the rust at bay. i just used a solution of citric acid and water, and a little bit of time and a modicum of elbow grease with a toothbrush.
