First I did a search for flat iron, didn't see any, not too exciting.
Found recently, and I thought it was pretty cool, so lugged it home with me.
I just got around to cleaning it today.
My first experience with electrolysis. Because it was big and quite crusty I used a 12V car battery charger and left it bubble away for about 4 hours. I'm quite satisfied with the results.

four and a half long by a little over 3 wide, number "1" on top.
AS stated not too exciting, but it is the first one I've found so it is a keeper.

Best wishes everyone, safety first.

We play Santa when it comes to those, and the woods play the part of the good little boy. ;D

I plan on this being the Winter I clean my "iron". :thumbsup:
 
They make excellent door stops. And enough of them strung together on a rope, makes nice boat anchors...........NGE
 
nice work!
Came out great!
I have 2 irons & some other items that need treatment,
when will i get to it??
What it comes down to for me is whether I use the time I have to dig, or get the electrolosis set up, I'm diggin while i can, there's not much time for that left!
After the deep freeze, I'm on that Cleaning!
Commendations on your electrolosis work!!
 
Nice iron...I found a No. 7 not to long ago. Can't imagine ironing with these things as heavy as they are. Great find, cleaned up real nice. Happy Holidays!

Long enough that I've had a small axe literally clean itself by the rust falling off. ;D

Dec. 25th and still able to dig! If the snow stays away I think IH and I just might get a hunt Monday or Tuesday. :headbang:
