Thank you for sharing.

Nice job on the plane looks great. I would probably electrocute myself if i tried something like that, it sure does a nice job.

I’m planning to do my first electrologists job right after Christmas..

The plane (after) looks brand new! Great restoration work.

Excellent restoration job. Hard to tell it’s not new…

FWIW, yes we do call those coolers over here, depending on region. Most folks here in the south that I hear call them Ice Chests.. I have heard them referred to out west as Igloos, but as you may or may not know, that is really the name of a shelter made of snow and ice by the American Eskimos. And a brand name for a manufacturer of ice chests….

Very nice Boneski! Would you tell us more about how the you do the electrolysis, maybe do a blog?

Igloo is the brand name of some small ice chests here in the West.
We also call them coolers and ice chests.
BTW Nice job on the plane.

Nice work! This old war horse looks like it is ready to give you many years of faithful service.

I did a restoration on a US-made No 7 I found on eBay … I used engine enamel instead of japanning (I found some recipes for japanning that called for using asphaltum, etc.). Mine is a ‘Sweetheart’, and believe me, after fettling and harpening, it is sweet!

The electrolysis process I used came from a blog by fellow LJ David (http://lumberjocks.com/David/blog/2191)

Nice job.
