Citric acid if the parks have nock and crannies. Electrolysis for simple to bit items. Washing soda will help break down oil and grease. Any Dc supply will work, 5v 130Amps output. Here is mine.

???????? So do I. Call it Bob.

The main body is from about 1957, the burner is from the 1940's.

This was a pain from the start. Badly repaired, badly restored and in a poor shape. Rust remover. More bad repairs. Black paint, as it was stamped WD 1944.

A red Lens Rail Lantern, yes it is bent, very rusty and missing a bit. The tank and burner, but fear not. I have a spare. Caustic soda had the paint removed, citric acid did for the rust. A wash off and a dry and we have the paint going on. Yes I left the dent in...

What does £5 get you? Plus......... After a bit of work. A bit of hot caustic soda had the paint off. A bit of fresh paint. Blue rattle can paint. A bit of gold leaf.

The modern stuff is rubbish. Wire brush in a angle grinder/ bench grinder. Citric acid. Electrolysis. They are the better way to remove rust from tools. At Men In Sheds we get tons of old rusty tools and they clean up well.

£0:50p, from a local scrap yard. Rusty, but complete. No need to take this to a Surface grinder. But grinding paste and plate glass. All done.

It does get used a lot when laying out kit car chassies rails. I made a Kit Lotus 7 a few years ago. We laid down a set of four 8 x 4 plywood sheets. Drew out the lay out. So we could place the chassis box sections. So we could work out where the engine and gear box mounts are to be fitted.

I have done a few squares like the OP. If the blade is pitted or delaminating it is nowt but scrap. This one was bad. But the blade was good, ok rusty but sound. Do not dismantle, as getting back square is a long and difficult task. Seal the brass and wood with tape and cling film...

The two planes are the Record Rebate Plane and the Stanley Plane. As you can see it is rusty, worse the sole was pitted. So a trip to a friend with a Magnetic surface grinder. This removed the rust and trued the sole up, sot it is a 90Degress to the sides. A few coats of French...
