Toolkit Transformation

A typical, sad set of tools. Owner wanted them restored and with more of a satin finish than the original glossy finish zinc gives, so I went with cadmium. You can get a matt-satin finish with zinc, but it doesn't look natural and is very blue these days with the brighteners that platers are using.

It's very interesting that the metals are slightly different with the duplicate set of 3 wrenches.
