I went to a yard sale last weekend and I bought these tools for $10. I clean them up so they are ready to use again. Sparky415's Axe Wax Video • #73 Sparky's Axe Wax ...
Slide through a parts store and pick up some VLR made by Mothers. Works WONDERS bringing back rubber and the like, aswell as being a damn good leather cleaner! Best of all, it doesnt leave the slippery sheen film of Armor All.
Great job on the clean up. May I suggest using boiled linseed oil on wooden tool handles, if you can't make Ax Wax? Linseed oil feeds the wood in a similar way.
Fun fact! Linseed oil actually cures to a hard shell and can be polymerized with alittle heat, effectively creating a "bake on coat" which obviously helps with tools getting beat up 😅
@@jonathandough7409 Have you ever heated up the oil coat to make it hard? If so, is something like a heat gun a good tool for the job. I've always used linseed oil on my handles but I never heated it up. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the recipe. I have used it on quite a few handles already and there is still plenty left in the jar. I like the way the handle feels with the wax. I also added a link at 6:52 in the video but adding the link below is a good idea.
@@foundit6088 I'm really sorry I didn't even notice the link (I kinda don't see them anymore) Thanks so much for doing that! i love that wax, I put it on wood steel and leather
I can't take credit for that. It seems to be something that the older generation carpenters here have been doing for a long time. It works really well though. Thanks!

I use it on everything from leather seats and steering wheel to my door and window seals, even use it to clean up my tools!
@@jonathandough7409 Thanks for another great tip!
Nice job keep up the great videos
Nice finds! I like the sanding block trick!
Thanks! Yeah the sanding block really works well.

Thanks! The axe wax is made with wax and linseed oil. Next time I may put a coat of linseed first and then axe wax second.

That sanding block idea is pure genius!! 👍
