Ok, So I went through my parents garage, a chore I tell you...
Dug into the back where I've now been informed I should take all my grandfathers tools out and take em home...
Until a week ago I didn't even know they existed, I thought my uncles had divided them up amongst themselves YEARS ago.
First, a Black n' Decker Bench Grinder...I've never seen one like this before...I want to go through it before plugging it in, it's been sitting for at least 6 years...

Second was an old Craftsman Power Sander...Called a Dual Action Sander, another one I've never seen the like of before...

Finally from this load was a hand plane I found...I'm going to do some research, but it appears to have plastic handles front and rear...I'm guessing sixties or seventies vintage...

Now sitting in the back of the garage I found two other tools my mother had apperantly purchased several years ago to do some arts and crafts stuff with...alas, they are sadly neglected, so I brought them home with mom's approval and I need to clean them up...what's the best way to clean off the rust that's starting to take over these machines? I think they are salvagable...

But I have a truckload of stuff to sort through still over there...who knows what other gems I'll find in the piles...and I do mean literal piles...the craftsman box is about 5' tall and overflowing with various 'stuff'...
