Sometimes you gotta go the extra mile!

Love it!

Not usually, no. With agitation and heat it does work considerably quicker than if it's cold and sitting still in a jar though.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Any time I get a new toy to play with like this it feels like Christmas! Good tip on the wire wheel too, thanks.

@@CatalystRestorations I know exactly what you mean! I got so excited the other day when my first ever toggle clamps came! I've done lots of Jerry rigging before but I've never made any jigs for woodworking. I'm trying to start my own woodworking business repurposing and refurbishing items to keep them out of the landfill. I only found your channel today...glad I did. Looks like you get excited about finding maker marks like me! I love seeing damage disappear.

@@fdort3971 very cool!! I love finding a good maker's mark, it's like a treasure hunt!

@@CatalystRestorations exactly!

Thanks for watching!

ok

That's awesome!!! Such a great little piece of history and so sturdy!

Thank you, Bob!

Thank you Veronica!

Thanks Jerry! Appreciate you watching.

Fun fact, grapefruits have been selectively bred so well since the 1920's that most don't even have a real "core" anymore that has to be removed! Even on the one in this video it's a huge waste to core out the tiny center!

5/5 sharks?! That's FINtastic!

I'm afraid that even for something like this the fee I have to charge for my time would be way more than it's worth. If you're still interested though, send me an email: catalystrestorations@gmail.com

Many times, in my case! 😅

I saved 40+ tools and a toolbox that were part of our family's history. Sometimes it's worth it.

Thank you for watching!

Another commenter who thinks they're the gatekeeper of what is and isn't a restoration

@@CatalystRestorations The truth hurts, face facts...this isnt a restoration. 25 thousand people must enjoy watching you clean

@@Gavlarr82 great, then 25,000 people subscribe to watch me clean old stuff. I really couldn't care less what people call what I do, they like it and they watch it, but I'm confused as to why it matters so much to you to take the time to write comments like these. Like, what's your point Gavin? Are you upset your COD career didn't take off because your one video on your channel only got literally 1 view in the last 9 years?

@@CatalystRestorations Hahaha Im not the one trying to make a living from it. The point is that you shouldnt be posting "Restoration Videos"... You clearly do care, hense the poor attempt at an insult.

@@Gavlarr82 .....do you think everyone who makes RUclips videos are all doing it to make a living? This is a hobby. I do this for fun in my spare time and my hobby pays for itself, which is more than a trolling commenter hobby pays

I don't know what this means, but for anyone else reading this you just lost the game

And I enjoyed reading this comment in bed! Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed a bit of warm, fuzzy nostalgia. 🤗

Thanks for watching! 😁

Thanks! It's also very useful for determining optimal laser settings for engraving on different materials, not just rust removal!

Me too! Thanks for watching!

I make a lot of mistakes, but this one always stood out to me personally as not good enough - I knew I had to revisit it at some point!

Darn, guess I have to rename the channel to Catalyst Recreations now

@@CatalystRestorations or actually restore items instead of replacing them… 🤔

@@TheGateway62 I would avoid basically every large restoration channel out there then 😬

@@CatalystRestorations that is your opinion. And we all know what opinions are like… Anyway, you should take some time to educate yourself by watching channels like Veradona Restorations. Maybe then you would understand what restoration actually means…

@@TheGateway62 I think maybe we should stop gatekeeping restorations

One new thing will be invaluable to restore many old things!

Thanks! A niche, but extremely useful tool in more complex restorations!

Maybe user error? (kidding! 😂)

​@@CatalystRestorations idk they were pushing 50 years old when I was using them in school so they were probably just worn out by then.

Haha, ain't that the truth. Time to get back to the basics though for a while! Thanks as always, Mark!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

I get that!

Thanks Michael!

Looking for maker's marks, stamps, anything for identifying age or who made it, if possible. If you just start grinding and sanding on a super dirty surface you're probably going to sand right through it.

It makes every tool you store inside go faster when you use them

Yes, that does work to give it the ultimate shine!

Everybody has to start somewhere, Nigel. Just some friendly advice.

Thank you, Sally!

I have special eyes 👁️👄👁️

Thanks! This was such a fun project!

Thanks Bryson!

Npc ahh comment but ı really impressed lamo

I had no idea either when I first got it!

When the Evapo-Rust was in the aluminum tray floating on the top of the water the ultrasonic waves aren't really able to transfer into the Evapo-Rust as well as if the Evapo-Rust was "in" the water. Think of it like if you're in a pool floating on the surface and someone below you underwater is yelling your name (sound waves)- you won't be able to hear it nearly as well as if you were underwater with them and they yell your name.
