Most of my vintage Singer sewing machines are mint (or near mint). But recently I bought a Singer 20-10 Sewhandy mini sewing machine. The ad had only one photo and yet I bought it. Not a very clever thing to to... The metal plate on this Sewhandy was covered in a thick layer of rust. So my next question was: How can I remove most of the rust and how to stop rust from spreading?
In this video I’ll show you what I did to remove the rust (or corrosion). And to make it (sort of) shine again!
My first time sanding and polishing metal.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
ELIAS BRAZIL-SP.
I DO THIS TOO.
I LOVED YOUR VIDEO, THANKS SO MUCH.
good job
Thank you!
Ultra sonic can do a trick also. Good job bro
Thank you for you comment! I'm not familiat with ultra sonic but I'll look it up.
Have a great weekend!
@@erikneek. It’s like removing everything on the metal and it turns new condition without polishing or scratching the metal. By the way just bought 3 sewing machines. Singer 15-91. Very good shape. I’m starting collecting like you.
@@CZcamsrkit7 Thank you so much for your reply!
Erik, ever tried Nickel Electroplating after the removal of rust?
Hi my friend. No I havent tried that. To be completely honest: I didnt even knew what it was until I just googled it. 🙂
Have a great day.
From what I read about replating parts of vintage sewing machines, the result is usually disappointing.
Hey Eric. Got a question. What vintage Singer would you like to have. Just curious. Thanks Mike from America.
Hi Mike, nice to have you here.
Well, difficult question. I was lucky enough to buy a mint 201k (1939), an aluminum 201k from the 1950's, a 221k Featherweight and a really strong and capable 78-1. Those four will stay with me.
There is only one machine on my wish list: a rare Singer 30k mini sewing machine. If I find one I will use it for a tutorial - I already have the script done 🙂
Take care!
@@erikneek Hey Eric, what’s your take on the Singer 115.
@@michaelbean739 hi again. I never had a Singer 115. So I cannot comment about that machine.
Some chemical rust removers are very effective with no mechanical action. I would otherwise use sandblasting.
Thank you for your comment! Thanks for sharing
@@erikneek I love what you do.
@@MrRemi1802 thank you so much!
