    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'm a professional window cleaner, steel wool is the go to for clean windows. if you try it, make sure you use the steel wool with a liquid to act as a lubricant(dawn, joy, ajax, etc.......)then squeegee off................... perfection!

    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.

    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.

    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....

    I'm pushin' 40, I don't look anything near that age. I act a bit younger and I spend some time now and then with younger people. Good to keep that young spirit. Sure makes for a gooder life.

    If you look at the MSDS Ballistol is essentially mineral oil with a bunch of alcohols/solvents that make it work well as a cleaner for gunpowder/gunk. I'd imagine alcohols/solvents on leather would be bad news and dry it out - especially if you put it on thick and put the leather sheath on right away! If all you're doing is sealing the steel, why not just use pure mineral oil or even just the linseed oil that you already have out? Also, a lot of guys swear by a product called 'Boeshield T9' as a more durable wax-based steel sealer/rust preventor; other just use good old paste wax.

    You can get some "Tried & True" Polymerized Linseed Oil - it dries quickly; similar to "boiled" but without the chemicals. A little more expensive, but worth it for things that come into contact with food and to avoid wearing rubber gloves.

    • @davidgilchrist1095
      @davidgilchrist1095 3 года назад

      I've seen people drill shallow holes in the ends of handles before, maybe 3/8 inch wide? They then pour in an amount of BLO and let it absorb over time. Have also seen this in combination with a small "bowl" made of duct tape on the top to hold large amounts of BLO, often done without drilling at all. Seems to use less oil than filling a coffee can and accomplishes the job.
      I've always manually applied it here and there and have axe handles that have lasted decades with moderate use year round.

    Considering that the tanning process is designed to remove natural oils, fats and moisture, it becomes a good way to prematurely breakdown the leather by re-adding "oils". Suppleness is not always a desired trait in tanned leathers. Stiffness in hiking boots will add support, suppleness in your purse is nice. You are much better suited to find waxes that preserve and protect without breaking down the leather or stitching. Sure, Ballistol is a wonderful product, I love the stuff, but it won't become intimate with my leather gear. Sno-Seal is one that comes to mind that is excellent for keeping leather in pristine condition. Ask a good boot manufacturer what they recommend, unless they've come up with some synthetics that don't start to break down the leather you'll most likely get an answer that avoids oils.

    @spiderfox6614 6 лет назад

    I respect your opinion on how to care for your axe but it's backwards to the way I go about it. I especially when it comes the the head. If I did it your way I would come to a axe in the spring covered in rust because of how humid it is in my state. I don't sand or scrape them except if my tool has been in the dirt, I coat the head in linseed oil and it forms a coating after it dries that doesn't wipe off with your hand and won't rust, it will turn yellow but that comes off after a couple minutes of use and I have never had it rust on me even when left in snow.

  • @dash8465
    @dash8465 3 года назад

    Dont listen to a word of this leather care advise if you carry your axe strapped to the side of a $200 Vanquest or similar backpack.
    Scraping? Oil slicks everywhere? I'd rather just buy a new sheath every few years than have to forsever deal with a slim mess and oily fingers every time I thouch it.
    Put a *little bit* of your favorite leather oil on the inside using a popsicle stick to reach the crevices, treat and polish the oustside like a pair of shoes, clean sap off of the head and handle with alcohol on a rag, use fine steel wool on the handle and follow up with BLO.
