In the picture below. Top LHS are two Stanley Yankee screwdrivers.

At first glance they looked ok.
The extended, they pumped.
But The bits were stuck fast. Turns out with glue.

This handle was set up to be striped and cleaned, but what the picture does not show is the split, the filler and the staples.

The other handle was as bad.

So, some beech, from a friends Fire wood pile was liberated. Turned down into new handles.

Test fitting here.

Fitted after paint.
2 more tools saved.

Everything in the top picture, bar one tool was restored.

The oil stones were very dirty.

So they were boiled up in washing soda for 2 hours.

The wooden cases were cleaned and waxed.

2 of the stones were curved, turns out they are knife stones, from a kit.

I've usually put 1/2 " of white spirit in a small tray & soaked the oil stone in it for 10 min or so then wiped the stone clean , done the other side then lightly oiled up with oil and a spray of WD 40 . Any cases got the white spirit treatment too

Made a start on the workshop belated cleanup, not had a proper dung out/restock/wipedown in twenty years.

Cleaned up my trusty rusty slotted table, removed half of Surrey from the slots and gave it a large portion of scotchbrite, brake cleaner and maintenance spray.

About eight hours of putting away, at least a gallon of brake cleaner/elbow grease and it scrubbed up ok. Just need to go down the other side now

Nice work, love the layout/welding table!

Can you feel the envy radiating from here?

 

[Munkul]

I'm most jealous of that T slot table. It's a beast! Love the row of cabinets. That's the gold standard of workshops right there.

If your doing what I think and it’s for outside make sure it’s galvanised as the rust will come through the gap

Depends what you think I'm doing. This one won't be galvanised as its an experiment, if it works like I hope the next one will be.

That looks interesting .
Can you make a slip under deep tub C/W some sort of splash retaining lid with a water drain tap in the tank to hold enough water so they can be run up . Maybe putting the reinforcing webs further to the outside edges to give you more room ?

As mentioned earlier they have barrels they use, if outside they just shove the micky mouse ears on and attach to the hose.
