My setup involved two anodes which are 1/2" rebar zip tied to some old brake rotors I had lying around after I helped my neighbor change his brakes. The rotors have...

    Electrolysis with a computer power supply (ATX)

    This weekend I tried electrolysis using an ATX computer power supply. I don't have a battery charger, but computer power supplies can put out 12V with 15+amps, and 5V with even more, so I thought that would even be a better substitute. I was digging around the junk pile at work looking for a...

    I recently posted about a workbench I have inherited. I Think someone questioned what the key shape hole was for. Well there is an iron popup bench dog for planing boards. It was extremely rusted and it wouldn't move without a good whack from a mallet. So I decided to try electrolysis! Had...

    Electrolysis

    I recently was able to find a hand plane that belonged to my father. I guess it is just a "knock off" since it doesn't have any name on it, just "Made in USA" on it. The plane was rather rusty, etc. So I decided to try and clean it up. Even if it didn't work good at least it would look better...

    Electrolysis - it's not just for breakfast anymore

    I just ran my first attempt at electrolysis last night on some parts for the Crescent jointer, it is awesome. I ran a batch with the two threaded knobs that attach the fence to the table. I wanted to start small to get a level of comfort before taking on a large batch. The electrolysis stripped...
