    The Symphony no. 9 in C major, D. 944, is the last symphony completed by Franz Schubert. It is usually called 'The Great' to distinguish it from the 'Little' Symphony no. 6 in C major. It is largely believed that the no. 9 Symphony was written in 1825. Composition: Public Domain. Recording: European Archive Creative Commons 3.0; Public Domain.

      I work as a metal fabricator.
      Last week I was carpentering and got a 3 inch splinter in the side of my palm. Right to the center of my hand.
      Most of it is still in there.

The dissonant section of the strings plays off the insistence of the alternating horns in a grinder of articulated chaos. The fact this frenetic section ends in quietude is telling; not even Schubert, the greatest melodist of all time, could tame the leviathon he had created. Respect and Love.

    Super tough coating:
    Two part epoxy thinned down with xylene plus a little fummed silica and black pigment. Put your rusty steel out in the sun to get hot and apply your thinned down mixture. The rusty steel will soak up the mixture like a sponge then the heat will evaporate the xylene fairly quick. Let set up for a few days before applying liberal abuse. The steel NEEDS to be rusty for best adhesion of the epoxy.

      I like michaelcthulhu's method- make a long trench out of bricks or whatever, line it with thick plastic sheet, add rusty steel, cover with vinegar, cover the whole mess with plywood to keep the chickens out of it and let sit overnight.
      Works great when the vinegar doesn't freeze...
