Agreed, great book. There is a second book in that series, The Boy On the Bridge, I believe. Also quite good.
I found the movie on Kanopy through my (Canadian) public library. I’m not sure how easy to find it is on other services, as it’s not exactly blockbuster stuff. I discovered it quite by accident.
The Girl With All the Gifts was pretty good, based on the book of the same name.
For comedy, one of my faves is Stranger Than Fiction.
I think you could bring it a long way back by hitting the surface with some wd40 and light sanding to remove the surface rust. You could also go over it with a soft wire brush or drill attachment if there is rust inside the etching. I’m not sure how much more rehab it might need after that, other than a resharpening to restore the edge.
I’d be careful with chemical treatments unless you know how the finish will react. I have very little experience with them, so perhaps someone more knowledgeable will have better advice there.
Good luck!
You beautiful bastard! I had one of these and thought it was one of the coolest bits of tech I ever owned. Your post generated so much nostalgia over having to hold my watch in just the right aspect to complete the data transfer. I remember people watching me sync and being shocked (although that was perhaps at how much of a nerd I was to have one). I like to think they were reacting to the tech.
Very nice work! Now I just need to find my old watch…
I expect it’s to generate steam in the oven for the first part of the bake. I just put ice chips in my Dutch oven after I get the boule in there, but I should try this.
Steam contributes to a good rise, if I’m not mistaken.
