Bringing old iron back to life is honest work.

Honest work is right. Reminds me of finding my grandpa's old hand plane in his shed, all rusted shut. Spent a whole weekend cleaning it up just to see it move again. Felt good to make something forgotten useful.

Wait you spent a whole weekend on one hand plane... that's some serious dedication. I would've given up after an hour.

That bit about making something forgotten useful hits home. You see it with people fixing up old bikes or restoring furniture too, don't you? Just something satisfying about giving an old thing a second life.
