I was banging away on those strings that hold the copper windings together this evening. The hammer worked well enough but then it dawned on me to use the hatchet. The hatchet worked even better. It cut those strings and broke up the varnish like nobody's business.
Hm I have a hatchet thing someone. Made out of a tire iron lol. I sharpened it sort of lol. I mite try that. Or heat them up haha I will keep you posted on the results.
