I got a old i think it is tommy armour 5 iron that is almost solid rust and an old leather grip i want to know how to make it like new. Thank you for any help.
Check out www.theironfactory.com or www.golfworks.com. Each can restore the club. I know the iron factory is closed until they complete their move to Colorado.
Is there any way i can do it at home for cheaper. I am only a kid and money is quite tight for me but i like the club so i want to restore it and keep it for maybe playing but most likely a collectors item and i think it is worth more restored.

Not unless you can strip chrome, rechrome, paintfill reshaft and regrip. The Iron Factory can do this for $37.
I'm going to send them a couple of 2-irons of mine to restore.
1. You can use 000 steel wool to remove the loose stuff.
2. Follow by Naval jelly...wear hand/eye protection
3. Further follow by a fine wire wheel...better and more controlable on a bench grinder than a hand drill.
4. Clean well...air/cloth...not water
5. Use a rust inhibitor (Lowes, Home Depot, local hardware) and you should be good to go.
All the above applies if you are using the club as a playing club, not an antique.
