During a family weekend in the ukrainian mountains, I visited antique shop where I found an old iron. It is made of a cast iron and worked on coal. I decided to restore it to preserve a clear example of the "wireless" ironing technology used by our ancestors. The best way to clean the rust at home is with vinegar and a metal brush. However, to clean small parts and hard-to-reach places, I turned to the services of the sandblasting machine. I also applied for an argon welding service to repair the broken cast iron grate.
During testing, the iron was kept a high temperature for about 1.5 hours, which is a very good indicator.
I can say with confidence that it still works properly and it will continue so for the next 100 years! We can't say the same about electric irons. Our ancestors made things to last lifetimes. It's a great piece of history.
Thank you for watchig!
