It’s quite literally experiment and try it out. Not even joking I tried for 3 hours every day. I can now hit 95-100 decibels due to further voice control

No offense since this applies to pretty much anyone, but im on your moms team. I’d ban you from the house for practicing whistling 3hrs/day for 2 weeks.

Yeah I know lol
Apparently counting up my pokemon sales on TCGPlayer, Ebay, and discord combined, I made almost $2,000 in a single year in 2025. I’m planning on opening my business back up and do some more graded card sales and keep buying cheap singles.

Sure, and thank you.
This is the third piece that I’ve restored. It was 2 years of learning. A scrollsaw, a drill press, and a jointer (shown). They were my Grandfather’s.
Basic process is photograph everything first for reference. Then take things apart. I put pieces in zip lock bags or containers and label them to keep track of what it is and what order I took it off.
Next, replace broken or missing bits. I found the old manuals on vintagemachinery which is a fantastic reference. Clean the pieces. For some I use a wire wheel. Others dip in vinegar or rust removal.
I paint some parts. For those that can take paint and need to be impacted there are hardened crystal polymer paints which really help with rust protection. It is the same paint they put on high end new hammers. For other pieces I sand blast and powder coat them. I used to have someone do that for me. I went to their company enough that we became friends and now he let’s me use the equipment in exchange for me finding records for his vinyl collection (another side hobby).
Below are a few shots of all of them

Your choice of color is muy bueno. So much of the tooling from this era was not only built to last but stylish too!
