"I wish we had a flame thrower" could be a line from Mrs. Brown from literally any of your videos.

It's probably a good thing the paint didn't wire brush off, there's a pretty high chance it was lead based.

When you do another repair project dealing with rusty metal, one that can save you from some of the grinding work; hit up the automotive department and look for undercoating supplies. There is a pre-treatment spray for undercoating that bonds with rust and makes it a paintable surface. A light run over with some sandpaper to knock off the heavy stuff is all you need. I did a project last year for my sister rebuilding an old wooden sled with metal runners as a Christmas decoration for her, used it then and it gave a nice bond, and saved me a ton of time not having to worry about running a wire brush in all the nooks and crannies.

1:59 I bet Peter saves the rust particles. Yep he did! 😂 nice work on both projects. ❤

I love seeing you fix some of people's forgotten objects! Reminds us that it isn't just about making new things, but sustaining old things.

My grandmother told me once that most of the cans they had were Cream Cans because that is what was worth money. They would use the milk on the farm and then throw the rest out. I have some of the original cans from the farm and they have brass plates on them with my grandfather's name stamped on them. Along the way I picked up another can and repainted it silver to sit on my font porch and as a little easter egg, I painted the bottom red in case anyone were to ever look under it. Great little projects you completed. Be great to see that rust in some resin in the future!

You should hit the milk can with some black around the bottom and the rim at the neck and inside the lettering, I feel like it would add a bit more to it

While on the topic of warships: You could mount a block of zinc to the inside as a sacrificial annode to prevent the milk can from rusting. It is what they do with a lot of ships.

Hmm so this is going to get filled with resin and turned, right? 😃

[outlandishprofessor]

It's most likely that when it was originally used as a cream can, it was not painted at all; just the bare metal.

"A whole can of beans" is a thing, but "a can of worms" is much more common. Another similar one is "another kettle of fish".

The icecream scoop turned out great! And I don't think I could have looked at that rusty old milk can and envisioned it looking so bright and clean again.

Yeah, The Repair Shop is my favorite TV show! The violin... is engraved in my memory for ever, as one of the most "everything" stories I've seen and heard. There was so much more to it than the YT video, though... Good work here, Peter!

[tracybowling]

It was super sweet of you to fix her grandma's scoop.
The milk jug is excellent.
And a can of worms is what you were thinking of!

I love Repair Shop so much; I loved this little mini-spinoff.

[TheAciddragon]

if you want to seal the inside of the can there is a product called Red Kote that is used to seal the inside of rusty old motorcycle gas tanks

This is so, so good. I hope you'll do more repair videos occasionally. I bet it would work well as a format on YouTube too. Can't beat that feeling of bringing something treasured back to life, even something as small as an Ice cream scoop.

I love it when you two show up in a video. You're like teenagers trying something for the 1st time ever. Great content and makes me smile how much you two enjoy each others company. Hope you're dealing well with your grown up stuggles Peter. We all get em. I watch some great content from you to relax. It works and I appreciate it.
