Daswulf Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Oh yeah, well I made some better ones and ended up making this guy. It wasn't the initial idea for how I wanted to use em but it worked. I'll be making more and documenting what I'm doing so we can see how I was messing up.

Daswulf Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 sorta like a ships wheelI get what your thinking.

Frosty Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 You can derust things like that screw in diluted Naval Jelly, about 50/50 in clean water. A piece of PVC with a cap on one end would make a good container for the screw. Over night is plenty for the things I've done. You GOTTA rinse it and neutralize the phosphoric acid in the Naval Jelly with baking soda and rinse again before it dries or it'll turn it phosphate oxide black. Flat BLACK. Gotta give it a spray or wipe of oil too or it'll rust fast, Fast, FAST.Just arc weld the bearings on. No rules against arc welders, heck Mr. Miller the inventor was a blacksmith and shortly after inventing the thing Mr. Yellin had several in his shop too.Frosty The Lucky.

Daswulf Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks for the info Frosty. Can the 50/50 solution stay in the pvc tubing, is it safe for storing it in? And I'm not shy to pull out Mr. Lincoln for jobs. He has helped me out on many projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's pretty safe stuff, read the label on the Naval Jelly for disposal particulars. Seeing as they won't let me have phosphates in dish soap anymore I have to live with extreme disposal laws and hard to clean dishes.Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Once had to wash my van down with rig wash (high phosphate made for drilling rigs), They were spraying corrosion inhibitor on some laid down drill pipe and didn't bother to tell us that the over spray and the 40 mph wind and the sand was hitting our vehicles by the logging unit. Not so amused when we shut down logging the well to deal with it. (charging them several thousand dollars an hour to wash our vehicles!) Had to wash my van off with diesel and then wash the diesel off with rig wash. That and all the sand did a pretty good job of giving me a matte finish; not much of an issue with my 1968 ex-phone company van; but my coworker's bright yellow camaro was never quite the same till it got re-painted...
