Not a today's find so hope it isn't a problem to post here. I ran this through electrolysis slowly yesterday checking it often and scrubbing loose rust off as I went. Was being careful as I've learned for some reason too much can cause the iron to get soft spots. I eventually got as much rust as I felt comfortable getting off of it then sealed it with paraffin wax. I thought it was neat so wanted to clean it and give it new life figured it'd make a neat decoration. 20210418_180209.webp20210420_220921.webp20210420_220928.webp20210420_221050.webp
