Dwayne and Flint thank you for sharing your experience. Do you have thoughts on a carding wheel? I’ve never owned one. Will likely use a drill motor to power it. Or could set up a pair of bearings and an old washer motor with some pulleys if needed. To this point I’ve only used steel wool and brushes for metal work.
The wheel seems like a useful option?
Being a frugal man, some say cheapskate, I just couldn't bring myself to spring for the Brownells, but my local Ace hardware has very fine wire wheels for ten bucks, fine enough you can stick a finger in it at 1800 without pain or injury, and they have a good assortment of wood handle mini wire brushes, brass and steel. They may be located in plumbing dept.
