• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Just before we lost the Woodhaven One , there was a thread about rust removal by electrolysis and other ideas . Would it be possible to repeat those threads ? . I got the jist , but I think it would be a very useful to have a re-cap together with other ideas . ( i.e. if vinegar works etc ...) .
I am ashamed to admit that my lovely old Myford ML8 has been stood on its end for " a long while " whilst awaiting restoration . The four-jaw chuck was left on it and has a film of rust . So I am wondering whether to use electrolysis on the whole thing , ( the chuck I mean ) or whether to dismantle it during the process .

Ashamed of Southampton .
 
Cannot help with the electrolysis but if the chuck has only surface rust much simpler to clean it off with one of the Shield Technology products, Jenolite (phosphoric acid) , citric acid etc etc
