Any tool you make yourself is awesome!! You could try some of the liquid rust removers. You might want to give it a quick coat of a spray clear coat it would help with the rust.

That’s Awesome! Thank You for sharing, it’s really sad that most high schools don’t have shop class anymore.

True any tool you make for yourself is awesome. If I ever could make a tool, that would be the best one, well at least my favorite one.

I used it a little while I worked with a old timer that never trust the new technology. He just used hand tools and corded drill. He hated cordless and lasers. Said nothing beats the tried and true way
