Unfortunately I don't have a good storage space for my tools. As a result all of my chisels need care.

I soaked my chisels in vinegar for about 2-3 hours then used a wire brush and steel wool to clean them up. Another dip into the vinegar before a quick rinse in water and a thorough wipe down with a paper towel.

I oiled them with camellia oil. It is the preferred oil for blade maintenance here in Japan.

I left a rake outside for a while as I was intending to use it to forage hazelnuts. In the end I never took it with me (there are plenty within reach near me) and it got a bit rusty.

I cleaned the rust using a wire wheel on an electric drill. This is quick and works really well. It's important to wear PPE though as the wire can fly off and the dust is horrible for your lungs.

I then used a penetrating oil, WD40, to coat the metallic components and prevent flash rust. It also acts as a degreaser. I wiped this off and then applied tung oil, a polymerizing/hardening oil that will protect the rake for much longer than WD40 alone. I also oiled the handle.

My go to hammer definitely need some TLC.
I made a solution of citric acid, wrapped the head in cloth and let it soak for a few hours.
Then I scrubbed it with wire wool.
I finished by oiling with some tallow I made last week.

Just as a question to anyone that would know, I would love to know what this hammers intended use is for? It belongs to dad and I'm trying to get a lot of the Tool Care BB's at his place since I'm still working in my collection of tools!

Our hand axe usually only comes out of the shed a couple of times a year to split a few logs for firewood. This BB was my motivation to get it ready to sharpen and then use it to start carving my first spoon.

It was rusty on both sides, but I only photographed one side to start. I used sandpaper by hand when we were away on holiday and then used the sandpaper around a sanding block once we were back home. That made it far easier to handle. I oiled it with vegetable oil.

I worked on an old hatched I found in the Red Cabin.  I used a wire wheel on a bench grinder to derust it and linseed oil to protect it.  If I could've removed the head from the handle it would have been easier but it was on there pretty good.

Hello all

Found a hoe in mij local second hand/thrift shop.
Cleaned the handle and oiled and waxed the handle with scraper and sandpaper, linseed oil and self made paste wax, cleaned the hoe with wire brush a bit and sharpened it. This is my first submission for a badge. Let me know if I missed anything.

Cleaned this lovely old traditional belgian tool with vinegar and an inox sponge
Gave it a vinegar bath for a total of around 3 hours, without having the handle in the vinegar.
To get closer to the handle, I wrapped an in vinegar soaked cloth around the blade so it would also get the vinegar treatment.

I had no patience, so every now and again I went to do some scrubbing, but everytime I found out I was too early.
After those 3 hours, I was happy with the end result. Dried it with a paper towel, let it sit in the air for a while, and then oiled it with linseed oil.

Can't wait for this baby to be sharpened :-)
