Refinishing Area - In Progress
Putting the Bluing Cabinet to work along with some other equipment. Namely:
-
Camp stove with propane
-
Bluing Tank
-
Work table
-
Buffer with carding wheel
-
Ran electric and lights to the area.
New Concrete Floor - COMPLETED
Working on dirt gets old especially when you need to level precision machinery.
Slow Rust Cabinet - COMPLETED
In order to provide refinishing services we have built a slow rust cabinet from old time specifications. Bluing is the process of creating a chemical reaction with the surface metal causing rust to form. The surface is buffed to remove the surface rust resulting in a dark blue or black finish.
the process is repeated until the desired finish is achieved.
Mauser Slow-Rust Bluing Project - Completed
Good example of how refinishing an antique weapon can improve the look. This post-war Columbian Mauser was completely stripped and slow rust blued. Receiver, trigger group, bolt, sights, barrel band, and barrel were all refinished. Next up would be stock refinishing.
