New helm 1

 Greetings

I have now spent some time polishing the new helm.

First, I removed the visor and avental and polished the main body of the helm.

The rust is all gone and it now looks like this.

Next, I polished the visor, which now looks like this:

I then spent some time cleaning the avental. This is a very messy process. I lay down pads of newspaper and then cover the mail in liquid metal cleaners ( mostly Brasso). I then don a plastic apron and rubber gloves and rub the mail back and forth, working the liquid in between the links until it is clean.

I then patted it dry ( a lot) and cleaned splashed metal cleaner off the leather, before treating the leather with leather food.

The avental now looks like this:

Now I can actually see the decorative brass links.

I then put the helm back together, adding brass wire to secure the avental.

Until next time

Adieu
