Restore of a Miller Falls 14

I never did a restore before so I saw this MF 14 for $5 so I thought I would give it a try. I used electrolysis to remove the rust. I had never done electrolysis before so this was going to be a learning experience. All I did was use electrolysis to remove the rust then wiped it down and sharpened the blade.

Just some fun stuff on the lathe.

A bowl and hollow form just for fun. The Bowl is made of apple wood and the HF is walnut.
