Restoring Rusted Vintage Files

G'day everyone, • I have been meaning to restore these files for quite some time. They rusted up in the old workshop a very long time ago. The old workshop was an open shed, and I had quite a few humidity issues. These files have varying amount of rust, but there are still some very good tools beneath it. • These files date from the 80's to 90's, and these vintage Australian made tools are good quality. To restore them I will use electrolysis rust removal using a 12v DC battery charger and a solution of sodium carbonate. I will also sharped the files using an etching solution of vinegar. • I will finally make some new handles using Tassie Oak on the lathe. • I hope you enjoy the video. • Lathe: Sieg c3 7x14 mini lathe • Mill: Sieg X2.7l • Restoring Metal Files • Electrolysis Rust Removal • Timestamps • 0:00 - Intro • 1:00 - Cleaning The File Teeth • 2:02 - Electrolysis Rust Removal • 4:33 - Sharpening The Teeth In Acid • 6:43 - Making Some Handles On The Lathe • 9:29 - Assembly And Conclusion • #DIY #machining #restoration
