I just read you can sharpen a file by dipping it in vinegar. Anybody ever heard or done this?

I've heard of etching..

Doubt it helps puked files..

Muratic acid (10% hydrochloric) would be a quicker test.

Prolly just give it a good cleaning.

Soaking in vinegar works enough to say it works. It eats a little metal away leaving a sharper surface than what was there. You have to leave it for about 24 hours before it'll be noticeable. If you wait too long it'll be no better than when you started.
It also removes all rust and patina.

Good thing...
Lewis is gonna need Goldie's help..

He's got a lot of cooking and prep to do...

We'll just mill about and BS a lot..

That'll be our job..

Are there any openings in the "mill about and BS a lot" crew? I think I could excel at that job.

I had to work once and I didn't like it...

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

Good morning gentlemen.

Today more work at Emerson's old day care. They need so much over there. Nobody can figure out where this one spot of water damage is coming from... hallway ceiling right next to a hard-wired fire alarm. Been that way for years. I cut it out around the alarm (did not set it off, thank you very much), stuck my head up there, no indication of anything major. I was on the roof a couple months ago caulking every conceivable nail hole and bit of flashing that might fail in a tsunami, so we'll see what happens. I am not sufficiently competent to fix sheetrock joints, and it's the old cottage chees texture , so I threw up a scrap of 5/8 that used to cover Emerson's closet back entrance, made a rectangle of cedar 1x3, mitered and glued, and I'll screw that up there and paint it rather than ƒoç around with tape and sheetrock mud. Then I'm going to donate time and materials to build a 144' long metal roofed awning around three sides of the west end of the building, where the kitchen is, because water comes right through the concrete block wall and under the four foot door, and well, that $Hi† is simply neither authorized nor permitted. These people take excellent care of children, their teachers still babysit Emerson, and as a board member, I am not willing to permit this outfit to suffer from this intolerable situation. Once we get the water five feet away from the building, get a gutter on the awning, then maybe we ca set about pointing up some of the cracked mortar joints. Hard work, no pay, but this is what prevents lower back pain, and by God, so far it is working. I suck at concrete and sheetrock finishing, but I have taken it upon myself to keep those ∂åmn state regulators from nitpicking this place and its lovely director to death. This will simply not be permitted. Arg.

Thanks fer listenin.

Vinegar is good for all kinds of things. Work real good to clean rust out of gas tanks. Last motorcycle tank I did was fuzzy on the inside with rust b4 I started. I mixed the vinegar 50/50 with water and let sit over night and was new metal the next day. Just don't forget to neutralize it when done!

[Workshop]

Baking soda and water will neutralize it.

To fix them

 

[67L36Driver]

Back when I was ‘growing’ new teeth they fluoridated the water. And both my parents had good teeth. The only ones I’ve lost were two I broke on stuff.
