Anybody know of a sure-fire way to bleach out the danged stains? (Oops, didn't mean to hijack your thread!!)
No Hijack since I got my answer from Doug.

I would use electrolysis for the rust on the metal, and would likely try a full strength Lime-Away soak for the rust stains on the wood... After all, you've got nothing to lose... the only other alternative would be new wood ($$$), or a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease.
