The blade on a molding plane can be released by tapping the notch in the wedge with the mallet. Reposition the blade in the plane, with the bevel at least an eighth of an inch shy of the mouth. Reset the wedge firmly, tapping it tight with a few gentle mallet strokes while holding the iron tight to the frog. If the blade isnât set square to the sole of the plane, a tap or two to one side or other on the portion of the iron that protrudes above the wedge should align it. Then set the depth as described above.
Simply putting dirty pennies in a solution of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide makes them cleaner. This video shows you how it's done. Please take appropriate safety measures when performing this and any experiment. Use common sense. Don't drink the stuff. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Soak your pennies in ketchup to clean them like new. Well, after you wash the ketchup off, that is. The salt and acetic acid in vinegar do the trick. 2. Hot Sauce. Hot sauce, like Tabasco or taco sauce, also will remove the oxides off pennies. As in ketchup, salt and vinegar are both in hot sauce. 3.he oxygen in the air and the copper in the pennies form an oxide that coats the pennies and makes them look dirty. The acids (usually vinegar-acetic acid) break the copper oxide free from the penny. As we have seen experimentally, acid alone does not clean as well as acid and salt.
