In-between cleaning axle plates. The first one came out nice. The other should be better yet. I'm going to try it in a different rust bath concoction. A board member suggests 15 parts water (I'll use distilled),10 parts white vinegar and 2 parts Rust for Must. See what happens.

In the meantime, I've been dreading inventory of the parts I'm sending out for black zinc, but seems like as good a time as any. Not just inventory, I'm cross-checking to the

manual I've wrote. I'll know exactly what I'm sending out, and what goes where, but it's tedious.

The list looks like this, "only" 104 rows at this point. Nearly done though.
