Well done !

How does the tinfoil come in ? (am impressed, anyway).
you use the tin foil instead of wire wool to rub the rust off. Less likely to scratch, apparently
High on my list of satisfying things is to take something disheveled and grotty and malfunctioning, and turn it into something really nice. Each time you look at this thing you’ve brought back from the junk and turned into something bragworthy, you get the payoff of its being worth all the work you put into it. And you get that payoff again and again.
I thought you sort of sealed in the oil using the tinfoil.
well done.
John
