Restoration work in progress
At the risk of patting myself on the back, I should like to thank the late Mr. Jobs and his collection of genius' for making this simple. What a world we live in where 100 year old steel and wood can be ogled through the lens of modern machines.
The first pictures are from the initial removal from soaking to clear the oil...he was shocked to see it was still bleeding oil.
The next two are examples of his rust blueing for the damascus. I have to send the barrels back to him in the spring of 2020, as he needs at least 8 barrels to make this viable. From what these pictures show, I had no problem saying yes and getting on the list.
