Removing rust from a Champion 400 blower
Thanks , I will give riveting a try. I have been soaking the blower in a gal. of evapo-rust. I never tried it before, it is working very well. I have been rolling the parts around to submerge the bits that need rust cleaned off, between that and cleaning the teeth out with a screw driver I have i spinning.

Removing rust from a Champion 400 blower
I am glad I read this and ThomasPowers post below, I was looking for info on how to remove the gears on a blower I just got that was very ceased. I guess I will leave the gears and shafts in the case. It does need ether the fan replaced or repaired as 2 vanes are rusted. Maybe rivet sheet metal on to the damaged vanes? Open to sugestions. Dan

Evaporust before and after
I have used Bar Keepers Friend to scrub rust. It works well for scrubbing rust spots. It uses Oxalic acid.

What did you do in the shop today?
That is awesome! I have been looking at home built campers out of cargo trailers so I can hall motorcycles and sleep in them. It seems really hard to find info on camper windows, doors and pluming supplies. Could you send me some info on where you got your stuff and how you did it? I really like the looks of that! thanks Dan

Dive Knife
I know nothing about titanium but a good dive knife should be able to cut wire, rope, anything a diver could get wrapped up in. The knife should match the type of diving, Sport, wreck, Salvage. Good wire cutters on a lanyard make a more useful tool most times.

Metal Benders
I have a bench version of the pedestal bender. I think it is all but useless. I spent more time trying to get something to work than and fit in the bender than making anything. The other one looks like it would work better.

Hammer in at Ben's Mill Barnet Vermont
This was a great afternoon! Lucian did a very interesting demo. Had some fun with trying out a coal forge before he showed up, and worked with a guy starting a bottle opener. I wish there was something like this every weekend close by. Ben's Mill is worth the trip to check it out, lots of neat stuff there. Great folks too.
