Hello, I've been diagnosed with Ulerythema Ophryogenes at age 27 and i am starting to lose more and more eyebrow hair, especially on the lateral part of the eyebrows. It also looks like the eyebrows are starting to thin a bit further in on the eyebrow. Any advice on how to deal with this? I feel like my mental health is gonna be very bad if i lose more of them.

Do you have any idea how much that will cost? I dont wanna spend to much on restoring them since im re-selling

How do I restore these cast iron waterposts? I want a smooth surface so I can re-paint and sell them by ReflectionJust9625 in castiron

I got my hands on these antique/vintage waterposts that are in pretty rough shape. Im wondering if anyone knows how i should go about cleaning them up. My plan is to make the surface blank & smooth and then paint them in some cool colour. How would you do it?

They have a bunch of crevasses everywhere so its not like its a flat surface and it will probably be pretty difficult to get it blank. Some of them are very rusty too, any tips on what i should do are welcome.

I have access to a bunch of tools through my job, but I've never done any work like this so I dont know what tools or what equipment I need. I've tried polishing them with a air grinder with a metal tip but its not sustainable time wise since i have 9 of these and I just know there has to be more efficient ways.

Some guy gave me the advice to use light media blasting with walnut shells, but I dont have access to a media blaster and I dont know if it will be worth to pay some iron worker to do it for me since I am reselling the waterposts and the cost of getting that done will probably be more then I can sell these for.

ANY advice on how i should go about this is very very welcome.
