I second that. Awesome restoration. EvoRust is magic.

-- DJ Peck, Lincoln Nebraska. I don't have a Shop. I think of it as a Tool Chase. Where the hell did I put that?

just so I don’t feel quite so incompetent, how many hours did you put into those beauties? They look fabulous.

Sweet! Very nice restores

Evaporust did most of the work but after stripping them and soaking in the juice, about half an hour scrubbing. Sanding the tote and knob an hour. Lapping and shaping the old irons about and hour and a half….each. I got all the work done in a week after work.

Nicely done Jumbo. I’ve dug up a handfull of family jems recently myself, including a couple Disstons. I’ve seen Evaporust on the shelves, but always thought it was a false promise. Definitely going to try it now.
