That came up remarkably well. The packed on dirt and grease kept the body from rusting. I’m glad I’m not the only one that uses mundane tasks such as sanding to calm me, and reflect on the day, and as for taking the “before” photo, I’m useless. 😂😂 Good job. You’ll get many more years of service from that oil can.
thanks man I appreciate that. I just wish it still had its original copper color. I'm glad you find mundane tasks relaxing as well.thanks for watching and for the comment.
I have an oil can just like that. Mine has a little bit of gold paint on it and I was wondering how I should restore it. I don’t know if I can find some paint that will match but I like the way yours turned out all nice and clean. Great job keep up the good work.
I have had no success trying to solder them, They seem to still leak afterwards.. But I have had success using the epoxy cups. If you send me an e mail I can show you the epoxy cups.
I bought a tiny oiler to fill with 3 in 1 oil to use on my workbench. It was black and nasty but atfer cleaning it has a beautiful copper finish on the cup but it has some rust. The spout is plain metal and sets nice against the copper cup. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the copper finish but i don't think I'm going to be able to save the copper. Either way, i only paid .25 cents for it at Jack Town and it's in really great shape.
@@Uwannawatch i actually decided to use gun bluing after i wire wheeled and fiber wheeled it. The copper was thin a spotty so i got rid of it. The gun bluing enhanced the pits and gave it the old school look i like

Turned out great that style has a lot of character.
Thanks brother.
Came out great!
thanks
Very Nice and shiny
That's part of the joy of restoring things finding out what is under all the rust and grime.
That is beautiful!
Ive got this one on shelf in garage. Id love to see it look like yours. I love the smell of it tho. I can smell history there lol
Ya that's a lot of history and a great smell. When you buff it out you can really smell the oil. It's an awesome sensation.
I love those oily stinky old oil Cans, I buy them every now and then, I have to many now lol
I don't know what it is about them, but one always seems to come home with me. I have quite a lot of them too.

Thank You. I appreciate that.
I have several old oil cans that I have cleaned up and use but two of them leak around the bottom seal/crimp. How would you suggest stopping the leak?

Nice Captain! I love oilers! That was a real bargain for sure. Well you can always clear coat it after it's cleaned to try to save that copper.
