Handles... The Old guys used to say "every day for a week, once a month for a year and then apply every year" Boiled Linseed oil is the tops...Bob (Somerset England)
You are right about that. I forgot to mention that in the video, thanks so much for sharing and welcome from England. Have a great day. God bless.
Well done!! The green paint was a nice touch. I agree, a well built and well maintained high quality tool is a joy to use. There is nothing like a properly maintained wooden handle. Take care 😃👍🏼
Thank you, David. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing. Always great to see you in the comments and I trust you have a great day.
Excellent video and beautiful job on those awesome tools!
Thank you. Always appreciate you stopping by and have been enjoying your videos as well. Have a great day and God bless.
I've copied alot of your shop hacks and already enjoy using them all . I find maintaining my tools very relaxing knowing that the next time I use them its one less thing to worry about.
I am so glad you have found the ideas on the channel useful. And you are so right, maintaining your tools can be relaxing and rewarding. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, have a great day, and God bless.
Another safe way to handle oil soaked rags/brushes/gloves is to put them in an old clothes detergent bottle half filled with water and soap. Sealing it tight as well. It is easy to remove the funnel so you get a nice wide mouth container.
That’s good to know. I had not heard of that before. That would also start them to cleaning if you were going to wash them and use them again. thanks for the good information and have a great day
Good, interesting video. I liked the addition of the green paint. We already added ScoutCrafter red and now we will add ToolScouter green to our paint list.
Thank you. I may just have to adopt the ToolScouter green. Thanks for sharing.
Thumbs up from Poverty Hill Adventures. Your tool wall is impressive. Enjoyed this video. Take care, Brian
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. It is fun to develop the wall and share it with everybody. Thanks again for commenting and have a great day.
Great care of those shovels! Well done and easy to watch video! Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and have a great week.
Just checked out Bucket O Oil & Sand and Oil Rag in a Can videos. Thanks for sharing these. I plan on making the Oil Rag in a Can.
Thank you for checking out those videos. Hope it works out well for you and have a great week.
Nothing like a good American made tool,
Last for a long time
& many restorations
I have to agree with you. There are some things I have that are made in Germany, England, Scandinavia and Canada that are good quality. But I have to admit I’m partial to American made tools. Thanks so much for watching and come back again soon. have a great day. God bless.
Those look great! Should get many more years of use! Have a wonderful weekend 👍
Thank you and you too!
Every spring I oil all handles with linseed oil, a yearly chore.
That’s good to hear. I’ll bet you you have good, solid tools that have lasted you a long time. Have a great day and God bless.
Thank you for the advice I'm going to start on mine now great video
That is great. I hope you have a little bit of fun and lots of fun using them. Have a great day.
Nice job good tools hard to find hot tip dont lend them out
Thank you very much Andy. There are some tools I won’t lend out, but I do keep some tools that I can lend and I don’t feel bad if they come back in less than stellar condition. So glad to have you stop by for a visit. Hope you have a great week.
Great job, great reminder and seasonal timing to do the mainenence on the yard tools. Video was well thought out, showed the entire process from beginning to end, WELL DONE!
You are so kind. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing and have a wonderful weekend..
You can tell that's good steel on the one shovel just by looking at it.
I think you’re right. It seem to have its own sheen. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
Man a wire wheel and linseed oil could even mend a broken heart. That paint looks super sharp!
😀you bet! It’s magical😁. Good steel shines up nice with a wire wheel. I am also partial to linseed oil for wooden handles. It penetrates and protects so well. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing. Have a great day.
Great video with good tips. Had a friend dump some linseed oil rags in a bucket in his shed. He had a nice vintage Harley chopper stored there. Rags burst into flames and destroyed everything. I was on duty with the FD and was on the call, it was heartbreaking. Tools came out nice! Love that linseed oil!
That is a very sad story. Since you shared it here in the comments, I will probably share in a video one of these days. Good learning opportunity. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing with us all. Have a great day. God bless.
@@toolscouter Yep, oil soaked rags are very dangerous and again I'm glad you highlighted it, God Bless!
great stuff
Thank you for stopping by and thanks for the compliment. Have a great weekend.
Nice video.
Thanks for the visit and have great week.
I burn all linseed oil rags in a metal plant container right after wiping down any wood handles.
That is a good safe way to do it. Thanks for sharing your ideas and have a great day.
Thank you very much! :-)
You’re very welcome. Thanks for your visit and hope you have a great day.
@@toolscouter thank you, and you too. I sanded down my brand new wooden tools last year and I wanted to rewatch how to do it to maintain them. Perfect video and watched all the way through. You’ve got a new subscriber. :-)
Welcome to the channel. Thank you for your visit and hope your tools stay in good working order. Have a good one.
Wow good job i just copied your process they look brand new!
Well that’s great. I’m glad they turned out well for you and I’m sure that’s a great satisfaction to have had a job well done. So glad you found it useful and hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for your visit.
Thanks
You bet. Thank you so much for your visit. Hope you have a great day.
Great video! What kind of paint did you use?
Thank you. The paint is Rust-Oleum ultra cover paint & primer. The color is gloss meadow green. Hope that’s helpful. And thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
Would you make any adjustments for untreated wood? Or is it just a simple sand and oil.
No. Sand and apply the oil. Just let it soak really well for the first time. Do several applications the first year. When oiling a tool for the first time the old timers would say, once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and then once a year. Hope this helps and have a great weekend.
