The transformation of zinc-plated copper to brass was fascinating! While watching the pipe in the flame I thought, "Wait, did I just see that turn a gold color?" and when I learned that it had become brass I had to skip back and watch it a second time. Love the science experiments you include in your videos.

I know this vid is from 2 months ago but l will look for an answer anyway. I see the handles had holes in them. Was curious if maybe they were for wooden handles to be installed or removed as needed? Just curious is all. Very nice work. Love seeing an old tool restored to work Like the finish also. Very different and the colour is very unique but suits the piece well.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you very much! Yes someone else mentioned that also. I didn’t see any pictures of the original state with wooden handles, so I personally think that the holes are there to hang it on the wall.

[@taytase]

Beautiful work! I would have loved to see some japanning on this piece though. If you’re ever interested in trying japanning, I’d highly recommend Hand Tool Rescue’s channel. He has a great video on how to make the great goo. 😉

Thank you very much mate! To be honest I actually thought that what I did is japanning 😅 seems like my information is wrong, thank you for letting me know! I will definitely try out japanning !

@@DrHutOfHandcraft your technique is pretty close to japanning. It just needs the asphaltum (and some other things)to give it that super tough, deep black finish.

[@jeromebarois1875]

Great job once again 👍 … and, sure, I’d like your explanation about the anti-rust power of citric acid 😋 (is it the same mechanism as acetic acid?)

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Hey Jerome, thank you for your comment and support! No it’s nor the same mechanism as with acetic acid, it’s a little more complex. I will try to explain the most important parts. Citric acid can build chemical complexes with heavy metals (metals with high density, -atomic weight or atomic numbers). If you look at the structure of citric acid you will see that it is a carboxylic acid with three “acid groups” (-COOH). Lets assume that Rust is Fe2O3 (rust is actually way more than only that) with the iron having the oxidation state +III. Two citric acid molecules give up there protons (H+) from the acidic group (-COOH) and build a chemical complex with the iron. This chemical complex is called Iron(III) dicitrate complex. The reaction scheme looks like this: Fe2O3 + 4 C6H8O7 (citric acid) -> 2[Fe(C6H5O7)2]3 - + 6H+ + 3 H2O This is the first step of the reaction. For the next step we need FeO, which is also a part of rust. But since the main reaction (rust removing) takes place in the first part, i will only write down the full reaction containing FeO. FeO•Fe2O3•H2O + 6 C6H8O7 -> 3[Fe(C6H5O7)2)3 - + 9H+ 5H2O + 1/2 H2 The stuff that we brush of the parts after removing the rust is the Iron(III) di citrate complex. There is actually even more to say about rust removing with citric acid, but I think for a overview this should be enough. I hope my explanation was understandable, if not do not hesitate to let me know and I will try to explain it better! Thanks again!

[@jeromebarois1875]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft thanks for the explanation. It’s just at the right level for me to understand 😊

[@mgcnashville6615]

Willna citric acid based rust remover work on all metals? What about chrome plated parts? Nickel plated? This looks like a very promising method. Really enjoyed the use of chemistry in this vid!

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@mgcnashville6615 thank you very much! I never tried this in nickel or chrome plated parts, but I am sure that it will work, at least with nickel plated parts, since citric acid builds stable and soluble complexes with nickel. But the nickel plating has to be done again after that, because the citric acid will affect the nickel plating. But I never tried

Is there a difference between citric acid used for cheese making, and the citric acid you used?🤔

Citric acid is always citric acid. Maybe different concentrations, but always citric acid

[@shoehornii]

The part that is new to me is coating bare metal with linseed oil and baking it three times. What's that all about...and why?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

It’s just a different type of surface treatment. I had a hard time choosing a color for painting and then thought that I don’t want to always just paint the stuff I restore, so I chose this technique. Repeating multiple times is just to get a better finish. I think the technique is called japanning, but I’m not sure. I personally think it looks pretty cool and it also works as rust protection.

[@sciangear4782]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft this is seasoning, as is done for cast-iron cook-ware. Japanning (as others have said, see Hand Tool Rescue) requires a mix of asphaltum, boiled linseed oil and turpentine, baked on. Don't use the same oven you cook food with, unless you really want a divorce… ;-)

@@DrHutOfHandcraft Yes, the linseed part was the part that interested me too however (checked replies for this question but can’t see it so here goes) when you bake the piece in the over, how did you keep the base clean? What I mean is I noticed you had flattened the base before you added linseed oil, but I never seen the base when it came out of the oven. Did you simply cover the base before you put it in the oven or did you have to clean it up after? Brilliant video by the way.

[@apistosig4173]

well you broke fundamental rule #1 - "NEVER" add water to chemcials - it can cause explosions - "ALWAYS" add chemicals to water - so you've lost a few points there, otherwise nice presentation. Citric Acid is one of a number of ways to remove rust.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Hey mate, thank you for your comment! The term “chemical” doesn’t make sense in this context. Table salt or soap are also “chemicals” and pouring water on those doesn’t cause an explosion. So your statement is not right. Adding water to chemicals in general doesn’t do anything. The rule you are talking about is about acids. Never!!! put water on to acids, it won’t cause an explosion, but serious injuries since the acid will fly around.

[@apistosig4173]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft Best Practice - powders are added to liquids - liquids are not added to powders. I concede your point - I trust you understand mine. Thanks for the content.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@apistosig4173 You are very welcome , and thank you for commenting. I spent a lot of time working and studying in the lab in the university here, but to be honest I never heard the rule you are talking about. And I after thinking a while about it I actually don’t see a reason (scientifically) to first put the water and then the substance. Like I said for acids it’s very important. But I am open for new, so maybe you can explain that for me and tell me why it’s best practice. 🤷🏻 Thanks again

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@apistosig4173 I thought about your comment again and would like to concede that you are right in particular cases. For example the mixing of acid with water which I already mentioned and some other substances which react in a more uncontrollable way. Another example would be alkali metals or substances which cause extreme foaming. In my case where I added water to NaOH (very carefully and slow) I used a high beaker which is heat resistant. It would’ve been safer to put the NaOH “on” the water slowly for more control, but I did this many times and would say in my circumstances it’s pretty safe. And still I wouldn’t say that it’s mandatory to *always* put water first, but considering that sometimes one may use substances which one is under experienced with I would say that you are right and it’s the safer. I really appreciate your comments mate, thank you very much for making me think about my own routines! And sorry for the long answer 😅
