Thanks again have learned so much from you this year as a 61 year old. Will have many tools restored due to you for grandsons to use and enjoy. Peace and many blessings for your family during the holidays and next year.

[@anniegaddis5240]

My grand-dad had an old 1-gal bucket he kept a brush and oil rag in. Every time we finished for the day, and brought the farm tools back to the barn, we brushed all the dirt off them, then wiped them down with the rag. Next time we used the tools, they'd always be nice and clean. One day I showed my kids how this worked by making them make a mess in their room before they went to bed. Waking up and not being able to find anything really made an impression on them. Especially when they DID find something, and discovered it was dirty (with a little help from an 'elf' who snuck in while they were asleep!). Love keeping up this tradition!

[@nolanhabbyshaw3072]

I love your good spirit its refreshing to see someone actually care rather then just reading off the steps god bless man

[@jaredcovington1765]

I bought a true temper hammer at a trade store and I have been restoring it while watching your videos.I used black oak for the handle and it has a very nice sweet smell when you shave off wood! Wonderful to engage yourself that way while working!

[@willemkossen]

Being Dutch myself, thanks for liking 'our' box. I enjoyed the doweling work. Currently repairing wobbly chairs the same way.

[@lhproductions00]

Representing my fellow Dutch people here!

[@willemkossen]

My neighbour :)

[@dinamboyz]

Nice to see people in the US use some of the best tools in the world. Any metal tools made in the UK you will never be disappointed with as they are simply the best money can buy. Keep up the good work.

[@icryostorm3727]

one tip that i was taught many years ago - when using wood saws - to have a candle handy and to rub it along each edge - as it acts like a lubricant - keeping the cut smooth.

[@Traderjoe]

It's little things like the saturated balistiol rag in a tight tin that that most people now a days are completely unaware of, as far as stretching out your money and minimizing waste goes. I am pretty sure the companies that make things like balistiol would be pleased if everyone just wasted it and kept buying the stuff, but overall, it is better for you and me if we consume slowly and frugally. It's better in a few ways that also ends up helping the environment too, even though I am by no means a tree hugger. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I remember older people doing things like the rag in a tin from when I was a kid in the 70's, so it it nice to see you spread this idea.

[@ghostindamachine]

Nice to see a tin box from my home country :) Looking forward to more videos from you and your family. Happy Holiday's!

[@Grant5272]

Cody, an old fashioned shaving brush works great for applying a thin layer of oil as well.

[@mjallenuk]

You know I had a tin with a rag in it from my Grandfathers tools soaked in what I thought was perhaps 3 in 1 oil judging by the odour... I didn't give it much thought at the time but now I realise that I was a fool to throw it away... Not to worry, it's something I'll have to start again but I'll pass the knowledge on more carefully ... Thanks Cody ... You gave me a nugget about my Grandfathers common sense approach to things I had missed completely.. what a gift :o)

[@andrew31688]

I watched Paul's videos of him making this bench, I like the bench so much that I'm watching your's now. I found out about you through the comments people were making on his videos. I just started traditional woodworking and I'm loving it! I'm going to be building a bench soon, can't wait to see your finished product! What types of vices are you going to equip the bench with? Please include the installation process, because I'm still not sure how the installation process goes. Thanks!

[@bigolmoose693]

Your Dovetail saw looks like it has lacquer on it too! All the Best

[@s.m.sparks3485]

I always get something from all your videos Mr. Wranglerstar. I love this video and maybe one day I can build my own work bench. I also dig your new web site Wranglermart I hope to buy something from there in the future.

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Thanks again for the great video series

[@josephgschwartz]

So cool seeing the launch of wranglermart. Would you have thought it would all become so big?

[@EricnotErick]

Try putting an old spray bottle top on the ballistol, like from a windex bottle and you will have alot more control over the flow of the oil, you might have to cut the straw if it is to long but it works very well

[@TomLeg]

Based on your enthusiasm, I ordered a small container of Balistoll. Seems their office is just across Toronto, but busfare there and back would have been not much less than postage. It just arrived, so I tried it on my Opinel knife. The blade has always been dark, I guess it's high carbon. I thought it would work gradually over the next few days, but I rubbed it on and wwiped it off, and the blade was instantly brighter! Wow. I dug out a tin of Twinings loose tea that's been sitting in one of my kitchen cupboards, so my cloth has a home.If the bottle were a little smaller, it could go inside, too, but not quite.

[@wranglerstar]

+Tom Legrady nice.

[@yblignomis]

+Wranglerstar exactly the same trick for oiling guitar strings (with a different oil of course), for exactly the same reasons, nice crossover :)

[@onelessrat4022]

for anyone in the lower mainland of BC, Lee Valley tools has the entire set (i think there's 6), but you can also purchase them individually - a wee bit more because of the exchange etc but maybe more convenient...

[@jegibson10]

WranglerStar, I was curious if you had any experience or words on the Stiletto Hammer, and their product. They seem to have a nice finish and looks like a nice addition to a tool box.

[@wranglerstar]

jegibson10 Ive never used one,

[@miguelangelsimonfernandez5498]

Regarding the leather strop, the best leather for the business is horse upper rump leather because of the fine grain and uniformity. It's what is used for traditional razors. Ballistol is indeed a magnificent oil and it has other uses.

[@glockfan112]

Wow im here early. Im loving this project.

[@mbeebe1317]

My father always used an oily shop rag to wipe down his tools after a job. Not as clean as a dedicated Balistol rag, but still effective.

[@edwardjonez6615]

For cutting off tendons I prefer a Japanese style saw which cuts on the pull rather than the push. I agree with the others who have said to stay away from mineral based rust preventatives and lubricants. One drop will stain or spot a finished piece and spoil the look. Thanks for the good channel. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@mycompasstv]

Vegetable oil mixed with 10% to 25% acetone (depending on your application), works extremely well and considerably less expensive than both Ballistol or DW40.

[@wranglerstar]

mycompasstv vegetable oil goes rancid and starts to stink.

[@mycompasstv]

wranglerstar Yes you're right all polyunsaturated oils will become become rancid but the acetone neutralizes the smell and in the quantity used its odor is no worse than any other lubricant.

[@wranglerstar]

Thank you. I didn't realize this.

[@WorldwideBushcraftSurvival]

Those dowel ends would make good fire starter. It is always nice to find useful ways to use waste.

[@waltlars3687]

As would all the curly cues from the hand planeing

[@scotunotee707]

I have also sprayed down my tool roll with WD 40. soaked it down good. so when I put my tools in and out of them they get a good wipe down. and if i dont use them for a while they are in a cloth or leather saturated in an oil. no rust.

[@DracoOmnia]

I believe that it is generally accepted that frog lube is the best rust inhibitor of all the gun/metal cleaning substances, I'm curious what your thoughts are on potentially giving these tools the frog lube "treatment"?

[@greatitbroke]

You can use wax on your tools to prevent rust as well. I use minwax paste wax. It will not stain the wood but it will protect the tools from rust.

[@MrTarfu]

Would scoring around the outside of the peg help prevent tear-out?

[@sfleinen]

There's NOTHING like owning tools of the finest quality money can buy. All of my prized tools come from well-known quality brands, e.g. Estwing hammers and hatchets, Channellock pliers and cutting tools, Klein and Xcelite hand tools, Stanley chisels, ...the list goes on. Two things in common with all these brands: 1.) quality steel from the USA, UK, any of the Germanic/Nordic countries (take your pic -- they all have the finest steel), etc., and 2.) most importantly, *attention to detail*. Not just when you first pick up the tool and it just feels right in your hand, but as you use the tool *over time* -- as the tool breaks in and wears -- that's when any lack of attention to detail comes to light. One minor nit, though; I tend to prefer tang chisels than socket chisels. I tend to grip my chisels by pinching the blade between my thumb and first two fingers; never by the handle. If you've ever used a chisel in a PRECISION way -- i.e. to cut tongue-in-groove or dovetails in cabinetry -- you'll find that socket chisels are top-heavy. Tang chisels are easier to hold in this manner, because they don't have that club of steel at the top (i.e. the socket). A quick search while typing this revealed the following article, which I certainly agree with: "Socket vs Tanged Chisels - Which is Easier to Use For Fine Joinery?" toolsforworkingwood.com/store/blog/146/Socket%20vs%20Tanged%20Chisels%20-%20Which%20is%20Easier%20to%20Use%20For%20Fine%20Joinery

[@kleinjahr]

You could shape the ends of the dowels, rounded buttons or pyramid shape. Looks a little nicer that way, especially with contrasting colours. Check out Craftsman/Mission furniture to get the idea.

[@budmoore8144]

great video some great tips merry christmas

[@richardtullius6419]

Great video... where does the leather chisel pouch come from?

[@20mcarroll02]

Cody, when pegging a project like this, does the grain orientation of the peg matter? Thanks for the great videos.

[@Almightyrastus]

Ballistol do a very useful refillable marker pen type applicator. I use that all the time on my knife blades, just draw a quick line along the blade and wipe it over the surface.

[@rustyul]

I read a few replies and haven't seen anybody who mentioned this... The metal can with the cover that you use is essential when storing rags saturated with petroleum distillates. They can spontaneously combust. I've never seen it but my friend owns a furniture repair store. They apply stain with a rag and he insists that they are left outside at the end of the day to dry because a rag in a pile burst in to flames and almost burned his shop down. We also have a special lidded fireproof container in the machine shop where I work for used, oily rags. It's an insurance requirement. Trust me, I'm not a "Safety Sally". This is a real danger. Closed metal container is a must for oily rags stored inside.

[@cropman123]

Cody; the bench is looking great!! I saw you use the bee's wax on your oak pegs and I seem to hear buzzing in the background. Did you move your hives inside this year? If you did, how is it working out? Thanks for the great videos.

[@clapton924]

Does anyone know what type of steel these are made of? High carbon?

[@RadicalRC]

Purchased the Ballistol from a your use in another video. Liked and thank you.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Wrangler, the picture of the chisels for this video have no handles,is that the way they are supposed to be? I have some of Grandpa's that just need sharpening and I wasn't sure if they needed handles. I was ready to make them on my shave horse since I don't own a lathe. They look nice the way they are and feel good in my hand, but the smaller one's could use something to hold onto.~Dolly

[@teddupuis7640]

Hey I was wondering if I should get a husqurvana multipurpose axe or a marbles double bit 782 d I am planning on building a log cabin with only hand tools and I can tell you know alotabout axes I would really appreciate your opinion please pm Mr if possible

[@meelas010]

i've always got an oily rag laying around with all types of oils on it like wd 40 and sewing machine oil sometimes even some bar oil from my chainsaw. i use that rag to wipe down all my tools including my guns and knives.

[@wildelectricgoose]

Good stuff thanks for the tips!

[@zarethd]

What are those pegs for? I missed it in both Paul sellers videos and your earlier videos

[@clarkwilliams9875]

Great idea. THANKS .

[@Theallis1961]

Will you be adding the finishing of the bench soon?

[@DocLarsen44]

I have noticed that over-application of the ballistol is a problem with firearms as well. The only thing that I think might be a problem when using a cotton rag in this otherwise great recommendation is the worry of spontaneous combustion. My thought is that a synthetic microfiber cloth may be a preferable fabric to use. Any thoughts? Anyone?

[@Ham68229]

In wood working, or even metal, with any type of "fluid" such stains, paints, lube, even protectants, if a rag is used, place it in a concealed container. No chance of spontaneous combustion.

[@khookieman]

I think the can plays a big part, in that it either stops the possibility of spontaneous combustion, or if for whatever reasons it still manages catches fire, it shouldn't be very big and contained in within the can....I think.....

[@adrianmouse666]

your box looks like a tea caddy (a great channel )

[@mrRobbins999]

hi, can anybody recommend a good wood gouging chisel please

[@reganbrown7184]

Where do you get your intro music and your music in your videos from?

[@Keithmwalton]

Interesting interpretation of rag in a can Oiler

[@MikeBandte]

Hi, thats my trick to. I made a KZbin Video how too use that not only for Handtools, but it is in German. Thanks for sharing. Mike

[@ravibrink]

thats the way we used to apply ballistol to airguns at the shooting range

[@aleblanc3547]

The oily rag can. I thought I was sole proprietor of that secret! Glad you found out...even if it wasn't from me! :>)

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I was taught this trick by an old engineer at one of the first jobs I worked at, he would wipe down any tools he had been using with a rag dampened with WD40 and kept the rag in an old screw top jar that was mounted to the underside of a shelf above his work bench.

[@Cameroner1]

Sorry this is so far in the future, but a couple episodes back Cody removed the lacquer from the chisels. The lacquer coating was meant to help prevent pitting and rusting of his tool. Why would he strip it off if it just means more maintenance?

[@twister10002000]

I don't understand why you talk about, "Paul Sellers" very much. I thought homesteading or "modern" homesteading in your case was using your own techniques and again in your case sharing them with the internet. I do enjoy your videos and are a subscriber of your channel just thought of a question that I thought you maybe could answer. Keep up the good work. -Tristan

[@key2010]

i see the fly still lives

[@andreasmellber6672]

Like your video Cody

[@elessar60]

Ha! I don't know about you, but I put lots of syrup on my pancakes. It's got to run into the bacon and make a mouthwatering syrup, bacon, pancake soup!

[@JunkworksGarage]

i use a similar processes with my guns after cleaning

[@johnieblaze4079]

I cringed in the thought he might hand-saw, with the chisel in place...

[@MrMikoPe]

you can soak leather pouch with oil

[@williamfeijen8601]

nice !

[@trapperraptor7356]

I think the can is a tea caddy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@mikeandmaryinmt3898]

Ah yes, an oiled rag. Another use for those old Altoid tins!

[@CPerry-yq1fj]

A company called Rusteprufe makes a chamois impregnated with their recipe anti-rust that I have used for tools, firearms etc for over 50 years of their 75 year old business . Yours works as well but this is my old solid standby.......Stay Safe ! www.eabco.com/store/shooting-accessories/rusteprufe-chamois-cloth-kit/

[@bioletsmakeiteasy]

This video reminded me of you Mr. Wranglerstar. I don't why lol. Please check it out. I think you'll enjoy it.

[@RethanHunter]

Wow thank you for sharing that link. Amazing woodworking!

[@robertsheffey8894]

Again, thanks for sharing. The amazing techniques demonstrated were simply jaw dropping.

[@bioletsmakeiteasy]

J Robitaille No problem guys, I just hope he sees it.

[@lohclaw]

Ballistol is not a petroleum oil based product. Ballistol Web page with all the Infos you need. www.ballistol-shop.de/the-ballistol-story.html

[@1jtolvey]

AS GOOD AS BALLISTOL = ATF FOR CARS , SYNTHETIC OIL , MUCH CHEAPER . NEVER TRIED IT ON WOOD TOOLS THOUGH .

Folks could use an empty Bag Balm can ...
