Grinding off the Crust

Scott grinding the crust of what ever is inside the barrel. Very fine dust comes off when you use wire brushes on an angle grinder. We have to wear a boiler suit, that catches the fragments of wire brush, and to avoid the dust, gloves and a respirator mask to prevent inhalation of dust. 

Its really slow work at about a square meter per hour. Your whole body starts to vibrate and hands feel like they will shake themselves off. We are using a 9" angle grinder so its pretty arm wrenching after a while. 

Its such a satisfying job to brush off the crust and come through to the beautiful contours of oak wood underneath. 

Note: Daft punk is great music to listen to with a whizzing power tool in hand.
