I've been reading about restoring planes using a razor blade to scrape off rust. This number 2 has been staring at me for a while. Today it got the treatment.

I used WD40 for lubricant, followed by maroon and then gray Scotchbrite. This is the first time I have used the technique. I took photos along the way, so I can tell how long it took to do this side of the plane by checking the timestamps. 12 minutes from start to finish.
