I'm spending time playing guitar (however I don't have any progress so far), crapping strange audio related things like stompboxes, preamps, amplifiers, burning them, crapping again... Whole corner is taken by audio stuff:
When not playing guitar - I'm bothering with mysterious things like furniture, or electrolysis. Which is BTW nice rust remover. Some transformer from old UPS
In the bowl with plain steel electrode connected to +, item, which needs rust to be removed connected to -, we get pretty nice results (on the left). There is some 20g of washing soda (not baking!) dissolved in it. It bites nicely - turns your bare hands into soap in long period so it is suggested to wear rubber gloves, unless you like to wash your meat from the bones ;).
This is rear disc brake caliper carrier, which was produced in 1983, and was rusting all the time so far. Right carrier was soaking in vinegar for one day. Result is interesting, however smell of vinegar, surface activation and slow progress makes electrolysis. Electrolysis makes rust shear and loose contact with steel.Back to title - guitars won only single battle so far. Some chap on S2 forum has read all this rubbish I write monthly, and said "you have a nice blog". That was the reason to visit my forgotten idol, angry getting dust in the garage. When I came, decided to warm thing a bit (it was sitting for few months non starter). After starting my car, feeling it's vibrations, hearing deep roar of straight exhaust - got me so exciting, that I rolled car to the yard and washed it. I know it's not the nicest one, rusty, tired, old. It's power is puny when compared with Scandinavian monsters. However it still makes my heart to beat much faster, looks exciting, and still has guts on power. Still can kick some buts ;). I still love this car, it may have only little of my time, however it surely has some corner inside me.
So I took the camera and made bunch of photos. Just to remember how nice car I happen to have (I sometimes forget). Here are some of them. Enjoy.
