Alligator Clips
Scrap Steel or Iron
Battery
Distilled Water when possible
Metal Wire
Wooden dowel, metal rod or stick

Great demonstration! I have a new technique to pass along to my dad who collects antique tools. It would probably be a good idea to mention that the gas bubbles are hydrogen and oxygen which are flammable, although the quantity is quite small. Still, it would probably be best to not do this in unventilated and confined spaces - especially as there is a chance of creating a spark with the contacts.

@seejanedrill 4 года назад

Interestly, someone asked about this and I shared the same exact response you just shared. Perhaps I should pin this info to the top of the comments.

@blackandgus 4 года назад

Well, that was really neat! I've never used that method - never knew anything about it - but I've got a box loaded with my grandpa's old farm tools that could sure benefit from this method. I've also put away some old finds from the back yard excavations that could turn out to be very surprising. What I really like about this idea is that it can be employed with a minimum of mess. Great video! Keep up the good work.

@mindthependulum6245 4 года назад

I do love it when people take this kind of interest in history from a productive standpoint. I like the story of the pliers! I have an antique Remington chest drill, it's over 100 years old. It looks like a hand operated mixer that our moms used back in the day, but it has a drill chuck on the business end, and a Y shape at the other with a leather strap, which is where you put against your chest and lean into it while hand cranking the drill bit. I used it to drill tons of holes over the years and I try to keep it in good shape. Keep up the good work, Leah!
