En la casa de mi abuela encontré un cuchillo medio extraño, mide como 40 cm aprox. Y tiene una ranura medio extraña en la parte de abajo justo a un aro en su mango. Quiero ver si alguien sabe del tema para poder ver q es o cuando fue fabricado, y si se puede consejos para arreglarlo un poco, como se debe ver en las imágenes tiene un poco de óxido en su funda y en la parte sin filo de la hoja tiene unas cuantas abolladuras. Dejo a la vista varios números y letras q encontré, seguramente sean útiles para verificar la procedencia.

I need a reputable place to clean this up and remove the rust from the metal parts. Fixing the hum would be a bonus. Any recommendations? I'm willing to ship in within the US. This is my Beatles holy grail!

Basically as the title says. Fairly light scratches on my new marble kitchen bench. Our stone mason said try 220 grit sandpaper with water, didn’t do anything. Try another grit or any other alternatives? Thanks in advance.

So i don't know much about painting But I bought these 4 paintings in a flea market that are in more or less good condition and I wanted to know if I could have information to restore them if possible mainly for the three-mat and also if it was possible to apply a coat of varnish to prevent it from cracking. Thank you for your answers

I would apprecoate any help provided. My kitchen pipes leaked. They leaked in the walls and under the house in the crawl space. It had been happening for months.

The composite board between the outside brick and inside walls got wet. Dryers were used. The composite board has blavk stains on it. The restoration team has opter to use mediclean versus replacing the board. Will this work or will, whatever is causing the discoloration, be killed by the mediclean. I am worried that the mildew/fungi/bacteria/mold will spread and and cause damge. I am worried that there will still be the awful smell in the future.

Please can someone help? Thank you

Have a 1958 turntable with what I assume to be real chrome. It’s starting to corrode in a few spots (bubbling/flaking).

What are some good ways to restore it or atleast make it look better? Personal experience would be nice. I read aluminum foil is a good way to knock down the corrosion.

Thoughts?

I bought this early 2000’s canvas Coach bag off of Depop and the bottom fabric is discolored. I gave it a gentle wash to soak off excess dirt but was wondering how to fix the discoloration, or make it look better.

Found an old wooden front facing board with a nice design. On the floor in dirt for YEARS. Not covered by anything. My home still has some of these on and was wondering if I can fix this price up and install.

TIA!

Anyone have any photos of this please and thoughts on replacing

I moved into an old apartment and the door handles on the interiors are all original - however they have seen better days. Many of them have paint on them, some have been painted over.

I would love to restore these to their full glory. My fears are these:

1) if I take them off, will I be able to get them back on?

2) I’m not sure of the paint used - I know there was lead paint used in this apartment. Is there a way to check?

3) I don’t want it to ruin the handles.

Any experience or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Any idea how and where to start restoration process.Gun seems to function cylinder rotates firing pin and trigger work aswell.Its an old Italian Bodeo 1889 (guys at other subreddit helped and identified it).Do you guys happen to have any idea if it would be safe to fire a round from it after restoring it?

Have had these boots for a very very long time, just lying around thinking they are non-restorable. Are they non-restorable? And if they can be restored, please let me know where to begin ..

I started by cleaning the outside of the trunk. It seems I may have washed out some of the black color. Also, I found that the trunk might be leather and metal. It's hard to tell. If you have any suggestions on how I can bring back the natural black color without painting it, I would appreciate it.

Then I started cleaning the metal fixtures. I found that the fixtures are steel with nickel coating. I may have overdone the cleaning because it removed some rust. On the left half of the trunk, I used CLR and a steel brush, and that seemed to remove too much of the coating. On the right side, I used Russo's and a cloth, and that seemed to yield a better result. I also drilled out the screw and removed the rotting leather handle.

What do you think I should do next? Any suggestions on how I should proceed with the restoration?

Any tips for the blade and wooden handle would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want to use the wrong product and damage it. Thanks!

We have a dozen of those little stands for glasses we'd use for the new year and they are kind of aged, I wonder what would give them a brilliant new shine ?...

Any ideas to remove the stains? Vinegar doesn't seem to work. Not sure though if this coated with paint before and was UV damaged.

Hey all; I'm looking for any record of a company based out of Southam, UK that specialized in the restoration of Jaguar E-Types, as my dad had a friend who worked there but he can't remember the name of it. Any help or info is much appreciated!

Hello group, I found this Sacred Heart of Jesus sitting on top of an old wardrobe in our family home (which is around 300+ years old). I bet this piece itself may be around 70-120 years old. This piece seems to be made of black plaster, wood and a sheet of moulded metal. Would you give me some advice on its cleaning and restoration (in case you find it necessary)? Thank you in advance, hugs!
