I was able to pick up a Stanley Bailey #7 , a 5 1/2C & 45 with two boxes of cutters at garage sales the last few weeks.
5 1/2 & #7, What is the best method of removing rust on the sole & sides & also from the top ( japanned areas)?
What is the best method to refurb the #45? Is this a Nickel finish? How do i know if I have everything for the #45?
I'm looking to restore for good users, not show pieces.
Thanks
