Got D-Udder One Off N It's Army Green

Hi folks,

I just got through getting the steel off my other
brass, WW I artillery timer fuse,

This one only took one and one half hours to
get it done. It also has a good amount of the
original army green paint left on it.

I brushed it off the first one. That was probably
a mistake.

I used a 6 inch bench grinder. These two timer
fuses just about wore my grinding wheel to a nub,

I had to grind until the brass threads were just
showing through the steel,

I had to grind both sides the same way,

Then I put it in a vice,

I hit it 5 times with a 4 pound shop hammer.... It
did not budge. I turned it around in the vise and
hit it 5 more times,

BINGO!

Now I have two of the nicest WW I timer fuses
you will ever see,

Thanks fer l@@kin,

Tabdog

FANTASTIC JOB!!! Rusted iron is SO difficult to remove from brass.


Cheers,

that green is tarnish, not paint. they weren't painted. (those rings turn, painting would have prevented that).
