Never seen the dry agitate in an ultrasonic tank method. I'm going to try that tomorrow. I did a similar job on a WW1 ammunition box. A very interesting box, if you have not seen one, check them out. Have also had good results sandblasting antique wood window frames. I cut the pressure back a bit and vary my angle to try and avoid digging into the grain too much.

Thank you Andy that's very kind of you. It still me 3 days to remove all the paint with the sandblaster but I think I would have used 3 or 4 tins of paint stripper otherwise. If your new to my channel please check out some of my other projects 👍

I’ve never been a fan of sandblasting wood but after seeing your results, I changed my mind. The beautiful timber underneath that paint seemed to soak up the oil. The oiled timber and heat blued metalwork compliment each other perfectly. I’m dying to know how you came up with using blasting media in an ultrasonic cleaner. You watch, everyone will start to use that method now.

From up over, I've seen many of these in my sea faring community, all different shapes and sizes. The one in my living room was green in color, scrubbed up well, now functions to hold various items and double as a coffee table / foot stool. The cleats on the inside probably held a simple tote tray with basic tools. Great Job. Narragansett Bay
