Joe, Great Lesson! The Last 55-60 Secs. I was in tears.. Thank you and Your Wife!

I’ve completed Oxpho blued a couple firearms. The finish turns out better than most factory finishes. I soak my rusty metal parts in vinegar for a couple hours to remove all the rust and bluing. Then I rub it with an SOS pad and soak in vinegar again for an hour or two. I then wash the metal off in water to neutralize the acid from the vinegar. I then file and sand the metal till all the pitting is gone before I blue. I use a gear gun to warm up my metal. I’ll actually re wet my bluing with Oxpho blue after I applied a coat and let it dry the first time around and then lightly buff it with oooo steel wool. It perfectly evens out the finish. Good stuff!

My wife and I have the same exact arrangement, I am the boss when she’s not around

My dad always said he's the Head of the house and my mom's the neck.... She turns him where to go

I had a slightly pitted army 1911 with 99% of the bluing gone, I got it cheap because the finish was so bad. This technique really works and the gun still looks vintage but now evenly colored and it did not mar the colt markings, they are still crisp.

I’m currently rebuilding/repairing an old shotgun and I was going to do an entire overhaul with a shortened barrel/stock and I really wanted to reblue the metal because it is pretty dang worn. Thanks for your video, seems pretty simple! Love your sense of humor too!

You said corse metal sandpaper cloth. I learned from my Papi it’s called “Clovis Cloth.” That’s some old school gunsmithin knowledge for everyone. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for the great video. It’s the best one I’ve found. You are concise, but comprehensive while very personable at the same time.

Perfect video. Informative, easy to understand and the ending was award winning. Obviously your wife has patience AND a sense of humor. What I would worry most about is her reflexes. She seems pretty quick so keep your guard up

Excellent video. Loved the epilog! I took your advice EXACTLY about the kitchen and doing as I want. When I get used to it again, I really think I won't mind being single again all that much...

I've used this process with decent results. With the liquid I found very thin coats and lots of them to be the key .

I watched this video a while back and then proceeded to reblue two rifles and a shotgun. I was absolutely amazed at the results. I tried cold bluing in the past but I was absolutely doing it all wrong. This method worked times three. My brother was excited to get his firearms back. Originally, he gave them to me to have reblued by a gunsmith. I reblued another .22 Rifle that belongs to my son's friend. It turned out so well, that I felt confident enough to reblue my brother's 870 and JC Higgins Model 30, both of which had accumulated surface rust while in the safe. Everything turned out way better than I had hoped. Great video and great instruction.

I like the Birchwood/Casey bluing chemicals. They have the bluing and rust remover that works really well and quickly. Rinse, degrease, and start rubbing on the bluing.

I’m the boss in my house also. I can wash the dishes with any damn dish soap I want.

Hell Yeah !!!! I wear the pants in my house !!!! As long as they're the ones my wife laid out for me to wear.

Cyclops, I've gotten into cap and ball revolvers and I need to refinish a couple of parts. So, I came back and watched your video again. Gold, I say. Pure Gold.

Great video. This will really shorten my learning curve. Looks like a very predictable, manageable and easy process the way you laid it out. The ending was perfect - you have learned what it took me a while to - happy wife happy life! Earned a sub.

I definitely have the last word in my house, especially the kitchen, right after I cook and do the dishes.

You had me laughing out loud with the ending. You are my "learn about scopes" channel and I look forward to your vids. Just a thought, we should be using gloves when working with these chemicals. I'm about 5 years older than you, and never used gloves and rarely used sunscreen. Precautions allow us to continue. Thanks for the info and entertainment.

Also keeps your hand oils off the work piece. Allowing the blue to pennatrate better. I know he says not to worry about degreaser. In my experience it is a vital step to get an even consistent finish. Using Birchwood casey.

I am thinking to buy Colt 1860 kit to build and I did try to find something about bluing it after so this was nice video about it and seems very easy to do. Thanks... I was also man in house, the wife did let me do dishes, and clean the house, and get dogs out 16 years... Now I am free from tyranny on own apartment :)

We have a 1946 S&W K frame M&P square butt x 6" in 38S...It has had a couple boxes of ammo shot thru it and is perfect... Rare S series with pencil barrel. We took it up on a ride on Mt Jefferson and carried the 38 in a leather holster and getting damp over ten days some blue was worn off the cylinder. After watching this master. I"m taking the pistol to the local gunsmith for cleaning and reblueing the cylinder. It's a little over my head.

Haha great video!greetings from the Netherlands

Great video! Using what you've taught me, I've started to re-blue an S&W 38-200 WWII Service Revolver. So far, I've only done the side plate and working now on the cylinder. Turning out really great. Question though about the frame. How would you tackle that? Blue the whole thing at once? First once side then the other? Muzzle end first then the handle end?

My wife has a sign in our kitchen that says “I have a kitchen because it came with the house”, since our kids grew up and moved out on their own we eat out, or we may use the microwave and an occasional crockpot but thats bout it, this makes it a lot easier to get away with rebuilding carbs on kitchen table or bluing guns, hell I’ve even worked on a motorcycle in our kitchen once before I had a garage, but like you did it still never hurts to let ppl know how cool your wife is…oh and let her overhear you saying it to your friends lol

IDC what ANYONE SAYS. I wear the pants in my relationship.......She tells me what pants to wear though =/

I do whatever I want whenever she tells me I can,cuz I'm the man😂😂

That looks really nice, I did a muzzle loader back when T/C made their Hawken kit. I bought one of those and did it the way you did this one. I put it in the oven and pre-heated the lock and barrel. I couldn't believe how nice it turned out. I used acetate to strip the barrel of contaminants then blued, steel wooled, heated, blued and steel wooled over and over until I got the looks I wanted. It's important to oil the metal at the end of the process and keep it oiled, not heavy but just don't let it dry. Seems to seal the blue better.

It's been years since I blued a gun, so I looked at You Tube videos to refresh my memory. Yours was better than most. Just one comment: I think I would use a heat gun instead of a stove burner to heat the metal.

I tryed your bluing method on a rusty neglected 1893 Spanish Mauser today.What a nice improvement compared to what it was.Now I have 3 cracks in the stock to repair before this gun is safe to shoot.Thanks for the video because your method has better results than others I've tryed.Normally I end up with an aged look but not much blue color which was still ok on some older guns but not the desired end result I was after. For the people who are going to give me crap for stripping a hundred plus year old gun.Not all antique firearms can be kept original when left in a storage locker for 8 years in Wi.

Great video.... When I have to preheat/warm metal parts or urethane, I just turn my oven on it's lowest setting, let it preheat and then turn it off. If I need it under 180 degrees I just leave it for a few minutes with the door cracked - it's also a fool proof way to melt tempered chocolate when it's humid out, or to dry out stale cereal. Whether or not you do all this at the same time depends on how cool your wife is

You got the just of all the tricks that work. Better polishing and definitely degreasing will give u a better job. Take the time to do so. You need to have a designated area in a work shop/garage/ basement bench and get out of the kitchen. Don't use those chemicals the same place you prepare ur food.

Very nice job,simple and easy steps 👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.

scotch bright then 4 0000 steel wool works great forget the sand paper for sure and the ending it was classic i love it keep up the good work
