Steel Wool... As an Army brat in Bolivia 1953-1955. I watched an artisan finish mahogany tables and chairs with progressively finer steel wool and oil by hand. The result was amazing and I never forgot the finish you get with fine steel wool and oil. Thanks for all the great videos.

I have quite the extensive collection of Gransfors Bruk axes, hatchets, mauls and wedges. You can accept full responsibility for that little gem in my life Cody. I've spent countless hours while working overseas watching your channel as it's full of great material and life lessons. It also passes the time away from home that I spend peering out my window at the 3rd world countries that I inhabit as I day dream and plan projects and goals on my own small chunk of 7 acres in Eastern Virginia. Thanks for all you do and be well friend.

I see now why this channel's content merits 1.8 million subscribers. Seldom do I see videos in the format with two segments of practical life advice. I come to learn how to ensure that I inherit tools in a decent shape from my dad, and I get more.

A boy scout recipe for waterproofing anyi has work great for me on wood ends. Old boots and fabric waterproofing.
Melt 16oz beeswax with 8oz of boiled linseed oil then add 8 oz of turpentine. Stir as it cools. Once set up. Apply liberally and apply heat to area. Heat gun works great. I've also waterproofred hats as well.

Excellent information. Retired LEO & FFL dealer, but I learned a lot in regards to axe’s and related items. Thank You

Maybe I will regret it.... I am using walnut oil to oil leather, and at the moment I am thinking of using beeswax and a hairdryer to wax the outside of the sheath on my brand new Gransfor Bruk hand hatchet sheath, to harden it, and use a cool fabric glue to glue the floppy end of the sheath. That could fail when I later oil the inside only. I thought of this when I saw people using Brazil nuts to oil wood. Hmm....

Cody I am 56 years old and still enjoy Dirt biking, Mountain biking, Kayaking, diving, etc etc etc. The problem that I have run across is the women that I meet my age are old and ready to die. I am still single and have never been married because of this. I have always made good money but refused to hoard it when you don't know if you will see tomorrow. This is not a trait that women look for. Most want to sit on the sofa and watch TV. You are one of the lucky ones that found someone early in life that enjoys living. (maybe its because she was not raised like American women) You are lucky my friend!!

Skidmore's Leather Cream!
I bought the Council Tool Woodcraft Axe at Blade show. Before this video I thought I was finished with Linseed Oil for a while. Now I know to apply it once per month for the first year. THANK YOU for that.

[alanrouse]

You got it right. Keep on doing as long as you can. At 74 I can still do what I did at 34! It might take me a little longer, but I can still do it. Nice tips on keeping your tools in shape. I use my axes year round. They don't get the winter off, but I take care of them so they can work year round. Thanks.

Quick question, I know there can be issues with boiled linseed oil soaked rags catching fire. You mentioned there about modern versions not being boiled, does that make any difference to that issue?

[davidsonbushcraft]

A workshop saver for thos who didn't know always put boiled linseed oil rags in a air tight can or in bucket of water or when it drys out it will spontaneously combust. 👌🏼

Great video Cody - my splitting axe could do with a clean up for certain, will get some linseed oil on it too. I use Lincoln Neatsfoot oil here in England. It’s bone meal based and excellent for leather. I use it on all my leather outdoor stuff and if you can get your hands on some in the states you might well add it to what you have already. Yeah the axe videos are some of my favourites - thanks!

[stevehenkel]

Learning how to take care of things (sharpening, oiling, maintaining, etc.) is how I fell in love with this channel. It's always good to see these kinds of videos. One question: do you still recommend sand paper for those tools you get that come with a coat of varnish? I was looking forward to doing my handles in the fall just like you said you used to do every fall and I have several that need the varnish removed.

[luke-tesr]

I'm not going to lie but I kind of thought your videos sucked at first but I've really grown to like them. Thank you for doing all you do. God bless

[realreallynow]

Use the back of the blade. Doesn’t dull the knife and still knocks off the chunks

"you can enjoy going into the second part of your life" yeah that's exactly where I'm at right now. I just finished my study for furniture maker and also found a job. Now it's time to get my own home and enjoy the things i can now afford!

I grew up in Tn. We had a trough in the barn about 14x14x10. It was filled with sand. Dad always put the used motor oil in it. Then when we were thru using his tools we put them in the trough. They were always clean and rust free.

I've had great luck using PENATROL oil paint additive on axe or shovels and great for keep splinters from forming on fiberglass ladders.
