I love the industrial look. Don’t take all the rust off 🙂

  I like that look too — which is probably fortunate since I don’t think I can get rid of all the rust 🙂

Enjoy the project. My uncle restored an old one for my parents many years ago, and it looks wonderful.

  Thanks Amy. I do really enjoy projects like this, especially now that I’ve discovered the Big T’s power tool. I love electric sanders, and air compressors. And I’ve just discovered the wire brushes that fit on the electric drill. 🙂

  It’s definitely going to be “rustic”, but that how I like things 🙂

  Yes, thankfully the wheels turn fine. The rust is superficial I think. 🙂
