Todays Project - What did you do today?

[Mayhem]

Kingcreaky - nice job on the chuck. I use that method a lot and love it. It sure beats standing in front of a wire wheel. Nice use of the non-conductive brick!

Also there is no rush on any project here and we simply love seeing any progress. I'm still working on getting my lathe and mill fully finished and have had both for a good few years now. Keep up the good work.

aRM - the process is a simple one, involving a solution of soda ash (used to decrease the pH in swimming pools) a sacrificial anode and a battery charger. I use a 20L plastic container and lined it with some weldmesh. The process works by line of sight, so the more anodes you have (either linked or as on piece) the better the process works.

Place the positive lead to the anode and the negative lead to the part you want to clean. Ensure they are not touching and flick the switch. For most parts, I leave them in for 15 minutes at a time, cleaning them under hot running water with a stiff brush. Some parts take a few cycles. If I remember, I'll take some pictures of my set up. I am sure I have posted them on here before but cannot find them - probably buried somewhere in this thread!
