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.
2 axe videos in 2 days! Thanks Cody!

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.
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. 👌🏼
I really enjoy looking after my equipment and making it last this just makes me want to get out to my shed and start going through my tools and it's 00:50 here in the UK. Cheers for the video
Thanks for the inspiration. I rehandled an old hatchet and I've learned so much. Still haven't perfected things but your axe videos are great.
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.
Wow i love the "Dalahäst" in the background ! :D
Way to hack away at those ax care chores! Enjoyed the vid!
Thank you wranglerstar. This old video is relevant and helpful to me. So many lessons to be learned in one sitting.
Thumbs up for Ballistol. I use one of "Oaklyn (6Pk) 14 Oz Plastic Squeeze Bottles" for my Ballistol and other oils, on my workbench. Works really well
My two favorite video elements, axe stuff and manly manners!!
Buy nice or buy twice. You've got some nice axes there, Cody.
If you'd boil raw linseed oil, would that be the same as what you used to get?
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.
Thanks, Cody, for the Manly Manners. That's a good little book. Always waiting for that
Ahhh! Fall is in the air! A wranglerstar axe video!!!🤗
Happy Monday Wranglerstar
What a beautiful axe , thanks for the great tips .
Isopropyl alcohol (found in hand sanitizer) is a great solvent for tree sap. Definitely need oil afterwoods though due to drying effect.
This is the Bob Ross for axes and leather
"Manly Manners" and planting a small seed of Christian faith. Very cool. Way to use your platform for the greater good. Subscribed!
An axe video, and Manley Manors. A great combination, keep up the great videos.
Great video, even if i dont need an axe is still cool to watch.
Didn't we read that page already in a previous Manly Manners or am I crazy?
Yes I remembered so scrolled through to see if I was crazy haha.
Yeah
he did, maybe last year though
Would really like to see an update to the best axe under $50 from 2014. Especially after the Bacho situation.
@wranglestar is there a reason why you would not use mink oil for the leather? Also i have noticed that people don't use tung oil for the wood. Is there a reason for that?
I have asked before and am again :) Have you ever reviewed axes by Council Tools ? They have a saddle double bit axe that I would like to hear your thoughts on!
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.
Excellent video Cody, I so enjoy your opinions and outlook on life.
Tried and True Danish Oil. It’s a polymerized linseed oil with no heavy metal dryers and is food contact safe. More expensive than BLO at the hardware store but worth it for some people.
Back to axes!!! I boy o boy o boy!!! Thanks Cody!
Great job
James Wright (wood by wright) did a video on making his own boiled linseed oil where he added beeswax. He uses it for the handles of his tools. You might check it out, see if you like it.
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.
Great video!
Ballistol ❤️ Use it for all my metal hardware, including guns. After a while they get the surface like an old skillet saturated with oils.
Kraakesolv just a good german product
Nice dalahäst in the back there! The one that says Välkommen (welcome) :D
Just got to love a good well kept axe.
Can you use fix n wax for these leather sheaths?
When doing the linseed oil could you sit the ends of axe handles in a coffee can of the oil to help protect what would that do to the handle ?
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.
Hay wranglestar I love ur vids and one thing that I’ve found to be a great leather oil i olive oil it keeps it nice and moist for so lone and it keeps rust from forming on my axes
I enjoy wranglerstar but why would I put my axes etc away during the winter? That is when I use them the most.
Glad I found your channel. Love your videos
Just one question ¿what you do with all axes you buy?
Great video!!!
I've use 00 steel wool to polish my truck windshield...yes it wont hurt it. Clean it and dry it and then just dry with 00 steel wool and polish the windshield. Then wash off and when you have your wiper blades that work well. Also use Rain X after and wow your looking out your truck nicely. Done this many times.
"Youth is wasted by the Young."
Help them not waste it.
using linseed oil on metal to begin with gives it a very good surface protection to start with. (I guess this was already pointed out..)
Much appreciation for the life haxe!
‘Some mad coin’ CODY THE ROADIE hehehe
what watch is that? i like it.
Yep, my buddy and I always said “everyone gets old at different ages” !
Thank you for sharing and did I miss the lock tight ??
Nice
what knife is that with the white handle ?
so do you knock the bees wax off a fresh Granfors Bruks before oiling?
God bless a good Axe video thanks!
great video ! and nice advice !
Does linseed have a scent to it? I haven't used it yet
Yes. Its a distinct smell. I love it.
It does. Slightly sweet smelling. Not an offensive smell, but some people don't like it.
Cody, I’m in need of clarification. I thought Dutch oil is what you said is the superior oil for axe/ hand tool wooden handles. I’ve been using the Dutch oil. Should I switch to the boiled linseed oil, or continue with the Dutch oil?
Use BlO
Great stuff, as usual. Do you know about ACF50? It was developed by the aircraft industry to prevent corrosion. An alternative to Ballistol?
Also Boeshield, developed by Boeing as a rust preventative.
Have a link for that axe?
You are the best
Great Video
Guys I could use some help. I oiled my axe handle but didn't wipe the oil properly and now it is sticky. How can I fix it? Do I scrape it again with knife or sand paper or steel wool? Or it will dry out eventually. It's been a week and it is still sticky.
What would be the logistics of boiling your own linseed oil?
You can use Ballistol for the leather, the wood and the steel ;) No other products needed...
Mad Coin!!!
Great vid
I’m trying to rehandle an axe and I can’t find where to get wooden wedges. Where would I find them?
Cody... look into making your own cleaner better than Ballastol. It is called, "EDs Red." UA-cam it.
I use my axe through the winter
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.
What would be the best hatchet for the least money
Elliott Clark the one you find in a thrift store, or if you are truly blessed, the one your grandfather hands down to you!
So what's the problem with soaking the axe head in water because it's loose?
What about raw linseed oil?
Hello I’ve finally gotten signed up, watched for years now I’m a new guy go figure, go new and extra content.
In the future, I saw someone rub fat into the pine sap and it took it right off without taking off the old oil finish.
Can you put on the products in your store please
Guess I better get me an axe!
Can we campaign for this video to be renamed "How to massage your axe"
Just like an old baseball glove, leather needs to be protected from the elements. Silicone based preventatives are a quick fix, oils are the answer. Soft and supple just like slow and steady win the race. The Iacing doesn't dry rot. The leather won't check, crack and disintegrate.
manly manners is surprisingly progressive
fellas, im confused. 'Once a week for a month, month for a year, ect...' does Cody mean four days every month, then next year one day every month and then in the following years only one time annually?
Basically, to treat a new handle you actually care about and want to last, you would oil it once a week for a month (so 4 times for the duration of said month) Then once a month for a year (after the initial 4 oilings) Then once a year for the life of the tool after that. Personally, I treat my handles when I'm the recipient of a new wood handled tool when I first get it, and before and after winter. Your preferences may vary depending on handling, storage, environmental temperatures/humidity differences.
@@timc46440 Ah, i think i get it now. So it's all happening in the same year, let's say we start January, 4 times in January and then in the following months only 1 time per month?
I used to gag on the smell of Ballistol, some of my friends still can't stand it but it's grown on me. it's kind'a nice.
Cody, take a HINT from the US Military who switched from Linseed Oil to Tung Oil 80+ years ago for their Rifle Stocks. Tung Oil dries completely over night, is non toxic and readily available. MUCH better than Linseed Oil IMO.
I have heard good things about tung oil,
All personal preference, I have handles treated with both linseed oil and Tung oil. Linseed leaves a beautiful amber finish with time compared to Tung oil that leaves the wood looking raw, both seal and protect, however I prefer the darker, richer color of linseed, again all personal preference.
Oh and just because the military does something doesn't mean it's the end all be all, they give out contracts to the lowest bidder and go for cost effectiveness, not to mention all rifle stocks currently in service are plastic/composite 😉
👍
Too weird. Just received my double ax sheath and was thinking about this very subject
There this guy I saw at my uncles lake house who looks just like you
Came for the axe, stayed for the advice to get along better with women.
haschak sisters
Showing of with loads of lock titee
Use the back of the blade. Doesn’t dull the knife and still knocks off the chunks
Just sharpen the knife? The sharp side works way better.
@@pivotalpigeon2914 Nope. A 90 degree edge on the back of a blade is far superior for scraping wood than a sharp blade with any kind of grind. That's what it is meant to do.
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!
When i seen the title i taught you were going to juggle axes or something. Im a little disappointed :(
@readme info grammar police
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....
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.
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?
"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!
Fire of Jagz how did the furniture business turn out?
Yeah, how'd it go?
Just a slight health worry I had for you...have you ever had a head injury or slight stroke? Just that, in the opening shot to camera, your expressions were a little uneven, with your face left side mostly un-moving. Have a look back at it and perhaps get yourself checked out. Stay well Cody.
I'm still waiting for the 5 things you can do to your axe to upgrade it? I watched one two and I think three? But where is four and five??
After having your Hoffman axe for a bit now. What are you feelings about the quality and performance?
I haven't really used it,
why?
@D B would have thought considering the calibre of axe that it is he might give it some attention. Even if he's not keen on it I'm sure liam hoffman would love an honest review so he can do even better in the future. As he has already with some of his other axe models
@D B you could well be right! I'm probably closer to 37 than 370 haha
I was wondering the same. I would like to see more of that axe.
