I have an old decorative piece of iron work that is all rusty. What is the easiest way to remove the rust?

So far I have been using a dremmel tool with a wire brush attachment, which seems to work ok, but it is taking forever. It seems like there has got to be a better way.

sand blast
there are tons of different medias you can use from walnut shells to glass beads.

Try pouring soda on it and then use the wire brush. I tried this on a crappy steel flat grill and it worked great.

I don't have a sand blaster handy, so I will definitely try this method. Thanks.

Elky, I had thought of the sand blaster method, I just don't know where I could go to get it done.
