    I was a scientist yesterday.

    I'm still waiting on some material for my spindles so in the mean time I decided to remove some mill scale. I started with the grinder and I was happy with the out come so I got some ingredients at homedepot.

    (1) gallon of phosphoric acid
    (5) boxes of baking soda
    (2) bucket w/ lids
    (1) Pack o' scotch bright pads
    (1) pair of rubber gloves
    (1) can of WD-40

    [​IMG]

    I soaked the parts for 25-35 mins then lightly scrubbed with the scotch bright. Then tossed them in my baking soda solution gave them a quick scrub, dried, and gave them a quick WD coating for rust prevention.

    here is a comparison the cleaned one was cut with the plasma cam the other I hand cut and grinned straight.

    Not bad for my first try at it. Ultimately I plan on just getting non-P&O steel but I need to burn off my 4x8 sheet first. Also great when you get a deal on remnant steel :D

    This build is EPIC. Read through all the pages, freaking awesome man, great job.

    Are you going to remake your front bumper or use the old one you made?
