You are a wealth of knowledge, from baking painted items on your furnace to treating leather to removing paint from lettering on tools. Excellent excellent videos!
Hello Frank! Tomorrow I will post a better way to treat the leather, last tim was just a inexpensive home-brew way of doing it... Tomorrow I’ll show the nice way! Lol. Thankyou so much Frank, I really appreciate it!!! 😃👍
I purchased the 418 tool holder on Amazon, got my oiler can from Harbor Freight, and the baby oil and petroleum jelly from the dollar store. Couldn't be happier with the results. Went to the lumber yard and saw another CLC holster that my Gerber multi tool fits perfectly in. It was cheaper the the 418. Thanks again for your help.
ScoutCrafter you are bringing back memory's my Late Uncle who was very close to me did leather work and shoes belts and alot more. had his own shoe/leather shop keep up the fantastic work Bobby
Hello Bobby!! Holy cow! Your uncle was a shoemaker! That is awesome! I can only imagine the cool machines he had in his shop!!!! I learned Leatherwork in the Scouts in 1975 and enjoyed the hobby ever since! =) Thanks again Bobby!!!
Really enjoyed this video and great tip on preserving leather. Will use it on my happier loop. I loved seeing the squirrels in the background at the beginning. The animals in the garden become friends if you feed and protect them and come at the same time of day to the back door looking for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Hello Tony! As you know I live (for now) in the city, when I was a kid all the women would throw out bread and seed for the animals... Then by the 90's those women were starting to pass and the newer generation were and are oblivious to their surroundings! When my grandmother passed I took over as caretaker for all the creatures of the block... I go thru over 100 lbs of seed every month!!! You can sit on my porch at any time and see a wealth of wildlife eating and drinking and singing... It is my greatest joy! The fact that you focused in on that says a lot about you Tony... That's why, although we have never met I consider you my friend!!! 😃👍
Good suggestion. I use neats foot oil. No other reason than that's what my brother put on his baseball glove when I was a kid and we kept the can. I used it during Midget and Little League right on through slow pitch softball before I finally got too stove up to do the running. The can is long gone now so next time I need to dress a tool pouch I will try your mix.
Hello Mr. Sneelock!!!! Neatsfoot oil is a superior oil for leather also Mink oil and saddle soap... I literally have a milk crate full of leather treatments that I have used over the years of teaching scouts leatherwork, I came up with this mix a few years back and it is fantastic for a multitude of applications like tool protection and you don't have to worry about toxic side effects! it's cheap and easily made and you can oil your tools and your boots with the same mix! lol! Thanks very much!!!!!
Hello Rusty Gun! It is an awesome mix! I did a video called Home brew lubricants and showed different mixes! It works very well as a metal protectant too! Like the old Cosmoline ! lol Thanks!!!!!!!
Great result. After a lifetime as a mechanic (28 on aircraft) I am now allergic to all hydrocarbons. My skin peels even with your mixture making it impossible to find lotions to help. I say all this to recommend wearing gloves!
Hello upside downdog! You should see “My obligatory safety video”. You are so right!!! Many chemicals have a level that once you are exposed to a certain amount you become highly allergic! Epoxies are known for that!!! I have to say that most people will never suffer ill effects from Vaseline or mineral oil... (Other then maybe silky soft hands). Lol. Thanks very much!!! 😃👍
LOL To me it's amazing how recently the channel has really been growing! Some of my older videos were way too long but I learned how to "edit" lol Thanks!!!!
Hello Dominic! At one time I was big into leatherwork, I used to teach it to the scouts and made hundreds of sheaths, pouches, holsters and belts! I literally have a milk crate full of leather care products including Lexol, saddle soap, mink oil, neatsfoot oil, snow-proof... And the one thing I can tell you is that if you ask five leatherworkers what is the best leather treatment you will get five different answers! Lol. As you know leather treatment is costly and depending on what you are doing with the item will determine the best treatment. As kids we would buy a new baseball glove and you would buy a bottle of glove oil and work the glove for a couple weeks until it was broken in! Oil will soften the leather and that might not be good for your application so they make creams and waxed to maintain stiffness! I can tell you that for the money you can't beat this 50/50 mix and it is has 100 other uses! I hope you give it a try! Thanks!!!
ScoutCrafter yes for sure, all depends on what the end use is! I mostly make holsters, knife sheaths and magazine holders so I don’t want them to get soft!
That looks awesome , I love your Tips , I'm getting a hot plate so I can mix the grease and motor oil for my clamps and three point hitch top links !!!!! Thanks for the videos !!!!!!
Nice video, what is the Goldenrod can type called, I would like one but I am in the UK so probably will have to find one similar. You can get the leather form Amazon UK , I have put one on my wish list.
Hello Dwarfsbane! The model on this oil can is 600, The goldenrod oilers work well because they can pump the slightly thicker viscosity!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Hi scout. Learn so much watching your videos. I would like to see your leather work please . Please keep up the life lessons for us. Scott Eagle Scout.
Hello Scott!!! You and I both learned leatherwork from the same place!!! Lol. I got my leatherwork merit badge about 1975! Lol. I really got into it and made some really great stuff! I definitely want to do some more leatherwork!!! Congratulations on Eagle, I only made it to Life and turned 18 then spent 20+ years as a Scout leader! Thanks very much!!! 😃👍
Scout, thanks for the heads-up. That holster looks great once treated. By the way, I got a "World's Greatest Dad" mug for Father's Day . . . had to buy it myself.
That petroleum jelly and mineral oil looks great. I was thinking about making some leather hot pan holders for my cast iron pans. The problem is I know nothing about leather, do you think leather would be okay to use as a hot pan holder?
Hello Joe! Traditionally leather gloves were used for heat protection! Also leather jackets and aprons for welding! The cast pan holders are usually made from Oven mitt material but I have seen them made from leather too! It should be awesome!!!!!!
Thanks, I just wanted some professional advice before I go headlong into something I know nothing about. The current plan is to use an old baseball glove. I'll make sure to get some video of my exploits. Cheers
Happy fathers day to you sir . Great tip as per thank you, I bought a Kershaws ebony & brass folding hunting knife off snap on back in 1975 and the guy Said to coat the leather holster in liquid shoe polish to protect it . Make it waterproof and keeps uv off it it works carried for years until they made it illegal to carry knifes in the uk and it's still as good to day .anything leather since then I treat the same way . Just another tip don't know if it helps .👍
Hello David! Shoe polish is always a great protector of leather! This 50/50 mix is just a quick way you can mix something up at home cheap and it will help soften and protect the leather... I know how you feel about the knife ban in the UK, it's a good thing they made it illegal because now the terrorists won't carry knives!!! 🤔. Don't get me started! Lol. Thanks very much!!!
Hello Brian! I got the idea from the owners manual of my 1969 Honda Motorcycle! That was in 1980! Since then I've been mixing some different oils and different grease combinations! They work great! Especially this Vaseline/mineral oil mix!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Very interesting! And not a bad price to. I carry my pliers in a bit roll as I need to lay my hands on a variety of tools ( carpenter ) What's next for restoration? :)
Happy Fathers day to all! I notice that your coronas' look a lot like mine ! Have you done. a clean up and sharpening on that type of tool? I would like to learn how to do that. And thanks for the leather oil tip.
Hello David! I just picked those shears up cheap for a future restoration! However I did a video titled Restoration of antique garden shears not too long ago and they clean up really nice!!! Thanks!!!! 😃👍
Obenaufs is awesome for leather. Leather honey too. I've found that Obenaufs will turn plastic feeling leather into the softest supple leather. You've got to be careful though, one too many applications and your leather will be sticky for quite some time. I may do a video on my leather treatment sometimes. Also, I believe you may have your leather sides backwards, I believe the smooth side is outside and rough side is flesh side.
Hello Metal Butcher!!! I have a box full of leather treatments in my attic leather shop! I also have about three cows worth of leather! lol I used to really enjoy leatherwork but it does take time... You are so right Obenaufs, leather Honey, neatsfoot Oil, Mink oil, Snow-proof, saddle soap... They are all good in there own way but I have to tell you that this stupid concoction of 50/50 Mineral oil/ petroleum jelly is in most people's homes already, it's cheap and works! Plus it works great on tools to preserve them! Not to mention, no smell and it leaves your hands looking great! lol I love that stuff! I did a video titled "Home brew lubricants" where I made a few really good shop lubes! And you are right! I meant to say that the rough side is the flesh side but I didn't want to say "flesh" so I said outside of the cow- like if you slapped that piece of leather back on the cow! lol The funny thing is when you buy 1/2 a side of leather like I do you get all type of markings on the smooth side like where the cow bumped into barbed wire or even brand marks! That leather treatment video would be a great idea! Thanks very much!!!
Obenaufs is the BEST!. I use it on some of my boots but first used it on the leatherwork I make for the Birds of Prey (Eagles, owls, hawks etc.) that I work with. I've made mixes with beeswax and lanolin that had to be melted. (WHAT a literal pain) and lots of other commercial preparations and I'll never go back!
Hello David, I did a video called Home brew lubricants where you mix different lubes (i.e. Grease/oil) to get the best of both worlds... I did it in an old pot in a electric plate... Basically you heat up the Vaseline slowly until it becomes liquid then add the mineral oil and stir while cooling... Once it's mixed it stays mixed. Now Ideally you want it to be able to flow yet have some viscosity to it... It works fantastic!!! Thanks!
Hello Karl! Neatsfoot oil is awesome for leather as well as Mink oil! I have a box of leather oils and conditioners that are better then this concoction but I have always had good luck with this mix and it's available in most people's homes. The funny thing is 100 years ago people would use all sorts of stuff to preserve their leather as it dried out, everything from lard to motor oil! lol Thanks very much!!!!!!
Hello Jim!!!! I did a video entitled "Home brew lubricants" that shows the process but basically I use a hot plate and a old pot and warm up the vaseline until it's liquid then add the mineral oil!!! Works awesome! Thanks so much!!!
let me know if you ever do the way to clean a drill bit and how it works for you do the one that got blueing i had one what had like superglue or something and clean it up
Scout love the videos.. if I was inclined to donate some tools how could I make sure they end up in your hands? I got a couple of unique things that I will never get around to restoring/ using and I think you would enjoy them more than me.
Hello Skippy! Most Leather workers have a preference like Neatsfoot or mink oil... it all depends on who you talk to but who has those at home? I've been using this 50/50 mix for leather and it works great!! Plus it really protects tools very well! Thanks so much!!!!
Whats your favorite tool that you enjoy doing more so then others when cleaning them up? Is there one thats always harder to get clean that you enjoy the most?
Hello Doug! That's a great question! Some tools are easy like an adjustable wrench because of the long flat areas, other tools are a pain because they can't come apart and have small hard to reach areas! I think my favorite believe it or not are the punches! They are easy yet rewarding because they come out nice... They are quick and fun! I did a video on restoring punches... Not the most exciting before and after but enjoyable none the less! Lol. Thanks very much!!!! 😃👍
You are a wealth of knowledge, from baking painted items on your furnace to treating leather to removing paint from lettering on tools. Excellent excellent videos!
Hello Frank! Tomorrow I will post a better way to treat the leather, last tim was just a inexpensive home-brew way of doing it... Tomorrow I’ll show the nice way! Lol. Thankyou so much Frank, I really appreciate it!!! 😃👍
Thank You.
I purchased the 418 tool holder on Amazon, got my oiler can from Harbor Freight, and the baby oil and petroleum jelly from the dollar store. Couldn't be happier with the results. Went to the lumber yard and saw another CLC holster that my Gerber multi tool fits perfectly in. It was cheaper the the 418. Thanks again for your help.
Hi Christopher, I can't believe what a great value they are! You can use many different finishes including show polish! Thanks so much!
ScoutCrafter you are bringing back memory's my Late Uncle who was very close to me did leather work and shoes belts and alot more. had his own shoe/leather shop keep up the fantastic work Bobby
Hello Bobby!! Holy cow! Your uncle was a shoemaker! That is awesome! I can only imagine the cool machines he had in his shop!!!! I learned Leatherwork in the Scouts in 1975 and enjoyed the hobby ever since! =) Thanks again Bobby!!!
Thank you. I hope your day was good. Great tip and handy pouch. No red. Thanks again. Have a good week. Stay safe.
Hello Norherman! LOL This Wednesday's video is Red! Tomorrow's video is wreck of a Billings "B"! Thanks very much!!!!!!
Mink oil will work well too
Didn't know about using 50/50 petroleum jelly and mineral oil.
I've been using mink oil or neatsfoot oil
Happy Father's Day to you....thanks for all the information you have provided..Keep'em coming....
Hello Blackie!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! Have a nice weekend!!!!!
@ScoutCrafter I just purchased this in the morning after you uploading your video for us to see, thank you again Happy Father's day and God bless you.
Hello Alejandro!!! For the money it really is a great buy!!! My Dad used to say "You can't make it for that price!!!" Thanks so much!!!!!! =)
Thank you for making these videos. I've learned quite a few tricks from you now. Thanks again!
Hello Nalu! I am so glad you enjoy all the different projects! Thank you very much!!!!

I'm liking that mineral oil/ petroleum jelly mix. I will have to make some up and try it out!
The Vaseline / mineral oil is a great idea. Thanks for sharing and happy fathers day.
Hello Rusty Gun! It is an awesome mix! I did a video called Home brew lubricants and showed different mixes! It works very well as a metal protectant too! Like the old Cosmoline ! lol Thanks!!!!!!!

ScoutCrafter
I am watching your old videos but man, how many do you have? You've been at this for 10 years!
LOL To me it's amazing how recently the channel has really been growing! Some of my older videos were way too long but I learned how to "edit" lol Thanks!!!!
Really like CLC-have the entire belt...highly versatile.
Handy pouch! An old time leather craftsman said never to use any oil on leather. Only a conditioner. I use Lexol. Amazing stuff!
Hello Dominic! At one time I was big into leatherwork, I used to teach it to the scouts and made hundreds of sheaths, pouches, holsters and belts!

Hello Pops! Thanks so much!! Enjoy the weekend!!! =)
That looks awesome , I love your Tips , I'm getting a hot plate so I can mix the grease and motor oil for my clamps and three point hitch top links !!!!! Thanks for the videos !!!!!!
Nice video, what is the Goldenrod can type called, I would like one but I am in the UK so probably will have to find one similar.
You can get the leather form Amazon UK , I have put one on my wish list.
So looking around there is none available in the UK at a decent price, the one shown would be $83. Shame as it looks good.
Hello Dwarfsbane! The model on this oil can is 600, The goldenrod oilers work well because they can pump the slightly thicker viscosity!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!

Can you use vegetable oil or olive oil
Depends on the leather, some oils will saturate and make the leather lose shape...
Scout, thanks for the heads-up. That holster looks great once treated. By the way, I got a "World's Greatest Dad" mug for Father's Day . . . had to buy it myself.
LMAO! That's too funny! I'm sure you had a great day and are much appreciated!! Thanks very much!!!!
Happy father's day to you Scout, if you are one, nice job on the leather . btw...I'll be doing some leather work on my car seat.
Hello Michael! Car seats take a real beating! It's no wonder they crack, split and tear! Even vinyl doesn't hold up! Thanks very much!!!
I did this and it discolored my plier holder quite a bit... how do i get it all same color
That petroleum jelly and mineral oil looks great. I was thinking about making some leather hot pan holders for my cast iron pans. The problem is I know nothing about leather, do you think leather would be okay to use as a hot pan holder?

What a great idea! The fingers should be perfect!!! Especially those old timey gloves like Charlie Brown had!!! Lol. Can't wait to see that! 😃👍
Happy fathers day to you sir .

I love your homemade lubricants. How did you come up with the different formulas? Trial and error?
Hello Brian! I got the idea from the owners manual of my 1969 Honda Motorcycle! That was in 1980! Since then I've been mixing some different oils and different grease combinations! They work great! Especially this Vaseline/mineral oil mix!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
I often have a pouch on my belt. Very handy, thanks.
Hello Lifes Journeyman, I always like a keeper of some sort, I'm always paranoid about losing stuff! LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!
Very interesting! And not a bad price to. I carry my pliers in a bit roll as I need to lay my hands on a variety of tools ( carpenter )
What's next for restoration? :)
Hello Tony! I always had a fondness for tool rolls!!! Later on today- Billings B bicycle wrench! Thanks so much!!! 😃👍
ScoutCrafter, I am seriously disappointed that you didn't put shellac on the holster....lol
Hello Joe! Now you have me thinking!!! Lol. You know that 50/50 mix is awesome stuff for tool protection! Really works well! Thanks!!!!
Nice.. Happy father's day god bless..
Hello Santiago! Thankyou so much my friend! All the best!!!!
Happy Fathers day to all! I notice that your coronas' look a lot like mine ! Have you done. a clean up and sharpening on that type of tool? I would like to learn how to do that.
And thanks for the leather oil tip.
Hello David! I just picked those shears up cheap for a future restoration! However I did a video titled Restoration of antique garden shears not too long ago and they clean up really nice!!! Thanks!!!! 😃👍
I found your. video, and it was one of the first ones of your's I had viewed. 👍
David I have a couple more to do! The good steel makes them a great project! Thanks again!!!
Aye Scout we must have a lot of the same great taste because I was look at those and was curious how they worked.
Hello Doug! I hope we cleared that up! Lol Thanks very much!!!!!
Obenaufs is awesome for leather. Leather honey too. I've found that Obenaufs will turn plastic feeling leather into the softest supple leather.

Just bought this for my cordless tools
Great idea! Does the mineral oil dissolve the petroleum jelly enough to mix & pump?
Hello David, I did a video called Home brew lubricants where you mix different lubes (i.e. Grease/oil) to get the best of both worlds... I did it in an old pot in a electric plate... Basically you heat up the Vaseline slowly until it becomes liquid then add the mineral oil and stir while cooling... Once it's mixed it stays mixed. Now Ideally you want it to be able to flow yet have some viscosity to it... It works fantastic!!! Thanks!
Neetsfoot oil also works great on leather.
Hello Karl! Neatsfoot oil is awesome for leather as well as Mink oil! I have a box of leather oils and conditioners that are better then this concoction but I have always had good luck with this mix and it's available in most people's homes. The funny thing is 100 years ago people would use all sorts of stuff to preserve their leather as it dried out, everything from lard to motor oil! lol Thanks very much!!!!!!
When I was a kid (back in the 1940s), I had a neighbor who had gallon cans of military surplus neatsfoot oil. We would soak our baseball gloves in it.
Good info. Question - will the mineral oil dissolve the petroleum jelly at room temperature, or do you have to heat it?
Hello Jim!!!! I did a video entitled "Home brew lubricants" that shows the process but basically I use a hot plate and a old pot and warm up the vaseline until it's liquid then add the mineral oil!!! Works awesome! Thanks so much!!!
It looked much better after oiling.
Hello Darrin! I too like a little darker more richer look! These pouches are really nice for the money!!!!! Thanks very much!!!!
let me know if you ever do the way to clean a drill bit and how it works for you do the one that got blueing i had one what had like superglue or something and clean it up
Hello David! Will do!! I have some drilling coming in a video later on today! Thanks again!!! 😃👍
Scout love the videos.. if I was inclined to donate some tools how could I make sure they end up in your hands? I got a couple of unique things that I will never get around to restoring/ using and I think you would enjoy them more than me.
Hello Mazock69- That's really nice of you! You can always contact me at Bicycleguy@aol.com Thanks so much!!!
I use Liquid Gold for all my leather, wood and metal tools, it has wax in it, you should try it, Liberty Tool in Maine turned me on to it.
Thank you for your efforts on bringing new contents
Love your videos
Hello Abdullh!!! Thankyou so much my friend! Have a great weekend!!!!
Thank you! I learned how to treat my leather now: Vasoline and Mineral Oil. ^5
Hello Skippy! Most Leather workers have a preference like Neatsfoot or mink oil... it all depends on who you talk to but who has those at home? I've been using this 50/50 mix for leather and it works great!! Plus it really protects tools very well! Thanks so much!!!!
Good tip! Thanks!
Hello Christina!!! Hope you are enjoying the weekend! Thanks!!!!!!
Whats your favorite tool that you enjoy doing more so then others when cleaning them up? Is there one thats always harder to get clean that you enjoy the most?
Hello Doug! That's a great question! Some tools are easy like an adjustable wrench because of the long flat areas, other tools are a pain because they can't come apart and have small hard to reach areas! I think my favorite believe it or not are the punches! They are easy yet rewarding because they come out nice... They are quick and fun! I did a video on restoring punches... Not the most exciting before and after but enjoyable none the less! Lol. Thanks very much!!!! 😃👍
Now...get on for each of your pliers!!!!! Ha...it would take a herd of cow skins!!!
Hello Vernon! LOL I ordered a few but I really don't bring too many tools in the field on my belt! I'm going to give it a shot! Thanks very much!!!!
