074 Skewed coffin smoother - Pt. 2 The iron

Hello my friends!

In todays episode i'm gonna take care of this lovely laminated Ward iron.
There is still about 20mm of hard steel plate so it still can serve.
It is my second try to use it. Who remember the number of the video with first try? :)
First of all i had to straighten the iron, at the video you can see how bented it was.
The next step was grinding on the belt sander with magnetic table (made by Paweł Pruszyński).
In the video you can't see a lot of breaks for cooling - i've skip them during edition.
After grinding there was still some spots with rust so i put the iron to my sandblaster.
Sandblasting brings a really nice surface for cold oxidation wich was the next step.
After oxidation i've used a few drops of mineral oil and piece of 0000 steel wool for cleaning.
I love how the iron came out. For sharpening i still use the methods wich i showed in my 063 video, i don't want to show this process once again. If you want to see it go here:

Now the Iron is ready for ebony wedge and mouth closer. You will see it in the next episode :)

Fell free to leave any ask in comments.

I hope you got good time, no matter with or without my videos.

Cheers
Stavros
