Half Hour Sanding

[Deleted]

I decided to flat sand the bar starting with 220 and went finer from there.

Dam nice job, looks awesome. Now tell me, it had to hurt a least a little, taking that nearly perfect original stencil off? I know I cringed.

The bar was in horrible shape, I couldn't just let it go with the rust and pitting eating at it. I'm sure I can get another stencil. I don't think they used this bar much, but in that condition I didn't want to put it on a saw. Really a shame someone just let it sit with no oil or protection.
