Like a moth drawn to the light, I followed that ramble right to the end, and was greatly rewarded in doing so. Thanks for taking the time to pay tribute AvE.
If you wanted to put a really solid finish on that: you'd cart that off with steel wheel brush to get most of it off, then rust it, boil it, cart it again: then when it's evenly black and almost untouchable by the steel brush - soak it in oil for 24 hrs to set the finish. Then you would have something which has been "slow rust blued" - and such a finish is damned hard to damage or wear off. Not used much anymore outside of firearms and even then only on higher end stuff because it's labor intensive. Long since replaced by hot salt bluing, then phosphates, cerakote, etc. etc. Still, slow rust bluing, if you don't mind putting the work in, stands up pretty well.
Thanks. I want to try that. Where can I see the procedure exactly? You wrote "rust it" and you didn't say what method to use. "cart it again" meaning what? Boil it how? In water? for how long? Where can I find the procedure please?
So you're the guy at the equipment auction selling those virgin machines with a lot of age to them. I quote, "Look at this machine, never been touched with a wrench. It's got the original rusted bolts that have never been touched with a wrench. No rounded heads on those bolts." I've fell for that one before.

AvE's rant about edumacation reminds me of an old college joke, so old it was old when I was in college (mumble) decades ago. It regards the true meaning of the letters used to signify degrees. First we have the common B.S. degeree, and we all know what B.S. stands for. Then there is the M.S. degree (More of the ). Then there is the esteemed Ph.D., which, of course, signifies Piled higher and Deeper.
Reminds me of one of my favorite bad jokes. Any time someone hands me a camera or phone to take a photo I assure them of my skills by letting them know I have a Ph.D in photography. “Push Here Dummy”
I left a plastic tub of muriatic acid in my shop overnight with no lid next to the door thinking it would be enough ventilation. Returned the next day and discovered every single piece of steel and iron in the shop had a film of black rust. I learned the hard way, just not the hardest way.
From your teachings, AvE. I eventually made a bronze rose dipped in acid and steel for mothers day. It turned red from the reaction. My Ma was delighted.
I’ve taught high school- here’s what happened to you: during the important parts of the lecture, you were staring at the young ladies. Then during the test, you swore you never heard that stuff, and you didn’t.
I'm still dying here. RIP Norm, great tribute. Your Quebecois is spot on, tabernac! Watched the last part twice. The rust is cool too, chemicals are fun with the right ventilation and protective gear.
JESUS. I never thought that AvE would remind me of my late grandfather. I cannot thank you enough. This is the first joke i remember from him. I hardly remember him nowadays. A treat especialle indeed.
Did I hear Justin Thirdhole, or is my hearing rusty and my brain just wants to laugh, and subconsciously fills in the blanks on the unrelated test question with humorous translation? Respect to those who laugh without caring if no one else sees the humor. RIP Norm, Thanks AvE!
Ifn you want to make wood look less new. Just take some fine steel wool and shove it into a bottle of vinegar. After it disolves, apply to wood and wait. If you are using on pine, you need to add some tannins to it. To do so, make some tea and apply to the wood, after that dries apply the vinegar steel wool mix and wait.

Over here in England we are stopping the use of hexavalent chromium. This is certainly happening in the rest of Europe as well. Causing all sorts of problems now that we cannot use alocrom/alodine 1200 on aluminium any more.

When your bolt is rusty it will meet ASTM 242 High Strength low alloy weathered steel. They are designed by spec and the original patent to do this which is a protective rust coat on the surface.
Ones got to wonder with some of these "restoration" videos how the rust more often than not resembles cakes on cocopowder and the electronics are always perfectly working
That makes me think of the old Jacques and Pierre jokes I used to hear as a kid in northern Maine. I like the one where Jacques invites Pierre to 'it 'is 'and wit a sho-velle.
What do you think about these batteries that work off rusting plates and derusting them using the energy produced as a storage for energy? Its like a washing machine sized battery
I accidentally copper plated a rusty bit of sheet metal by covering it in harpic max10 (claims to remove rust due to having acid in it) and then brushing it with a brass wire brush. I then purposefully did it again on my favourite hammer……….because I’m cool like that.
I stripped zinc off of some small sheet screws to match original steel ones using electrolysis. Held the screw end with an alligator clip, dipped the heads in the baking soda water, and in a minute or less the zinc was gone. I then cleaned/polished them, but this would be effective for aging too.
Dont't know what your joke had to do with quebec. Quebecois myself. Still found it funny. Humor is humor, let's not get oversensitive.

Haha. Have a good night everyone.
I've been using citric acid for stripping the zinc off nuts and bolts I'm about to weld. Works, but is a bit slow. Have to try with some hydrogen peroxide.
@@sherannaidoo2712 citric is food grade stuff, cheap and easily available. EU regulations made it very difficult for Joe Normal to buy any kind of usable acids, including battery acid. What you can get with difficulty, after getting a permit, is diluted into useless concentration.
Muratic acid is a common name for hydrochloric acid. There are two things happening here. The HCl attacks and removes the zinc with an acid-base reaction. Then the peroxide supplies the water and oxygen for the redox (ie rusting) reaction. The chloride ion in both cases increases the chemical potential of both reactions. HCl is so corrosive that there are no non-exotic metals that can withstand it.
I did something similar removing the shiny coating from galvanized pipe to match 80-year-old light fixtures. Why can I not get Robertson’s fasteners in the US?
Aha! Water softener mentioned. I did a thesis on the subject for a local waterworks this year, very cool stuff. Reckon you could shit out a video about it? Mighty interesting.
Uncle Bumblefugg left out an elusive and critical component. While salt and hydrogen peroxide work quickly, a bit of acetic acid (common white vinegar) thrown into the mix will help further catalyze the oxidation. Start with bare metal, a file or sandpaper will get you through most anti-corrosion steel coatings in a jiffy, spray or dip the item to be rusted in straight vinegar and allow to dry for your initial etch (if you don't want to play with muriatic acid). The ratios to use for your rust solution is, 2 cups H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), 4 tablespoons of acetic acid (white vinegar), 1.5 teaspoons of NaCl (table salt); put them all together in a spray bottle and agitate til all the salt is dissolved. This solution will take steel in the white to heavy browns/oranges patina rust in next to no time and is very satisfying to work with. Enjoy!
