See how to preserve your wooden fence using engine oil. We show you how it looks a week later. Watch part 1 if missed it. Also, discover how to get the oil off your hands.
I like how to this man takes the time to properly preserve a wood fence for the next generation when it will likely long outlive him. Wish I'd done this to my fence instead of using that expensive, toxic stuff that doesn't do what it says on the tin.
I also use engine oil as a wood preserver but I would just like to warn people that used engine oil is both carcinogenic and highly toxic. It causes skin irritation and complaints including dermatitis. I would strongly advocate the use of nitrile rubber gloves when using it to avoid any contact with skin especially is working with it regularly.
Big Ian Builds please tell me, how is the smell of the reused oil applied on the wood after a while ? Also, is it still toxic after applying on the wood ? (By touching the wood or breathing next to it) Thank you
Did you see how old that gentleman was? He has been living with oil and using it for various things. Hate to say this, but you'll never reach his age! With the chemicals used nowadays! The chemical now will kill you faster than oil will ever do. Oil comes from the ground, and oil returns back, and the cycle starts all over again.
What an excellent use for old engine oil, rather than have it questionably recycled buy vehicle dealers. Once soaked into the wood it cannot possibly harm the environment. Unlike the manufacture of wood preserving chemicals purchased at DIY stores.
When I built my shed I treated the underside of the plywood floor with engine oil. Its on a cement pad and 6 inches off the ground but I wanted it protected from winter snow and moisture and I had some used oil so it was an easy solution. Just rolled it on with an old paint roller.
I also use engine oil as a wood preservative and it does gives excellent results, but I agree with some of the comments below. It is carcinogenic and garage mechanics who do oil changes have to wear protective rubber gloves. I've have also occasionally used engine oil as a weed killer, so it does definitely harm plants.
Try it with a 2x4 and wait 7 years, the old man probably got lucky and croaked before co^id and the accelerated degeneracy of western society and humanity in general.
In a hundred years his hands will look as good as the day he oiled them My wife spends a fortune on oils for her body and hair, A gallon of good 20/50 engine oil is a lot cheaper
Love it. How about the backside? Besides the drip marks, shouldn’t that be oiled as well for the ultimate protection of the fence? Note: I scrubbed fast forward through the video so maybe I missed that part.

Great work pop but it looks like you've killed all your plants and grass also made a mess of your wall suggest you put some plastic sheet down to make your job a bit tidier.
Whist I admire the economy and environmental aspects of re-using old oil I truly hate that horrible black,dense colour !How could you treat that lovely new fence with this act of utter vandalism?You have ruined it in my eyes.Gently aged,giving a rustic,silvery hue,and probably given an eco treatment would have looked so much better.And attempting to put plants next to such toxic substances shows little knowledge of gardening.I have seen this done in large farm situations in the UK,and it done sometimes in the USA on wooden trailers for heavy,dirty use,and it works well.But to use it in an English suburban garden is to say the least,misguided.

I use to do this growing up on the farm. Classic trick my grandpa taught me.
Very nice videos, both of them. Thank you for posting and also showing the 25-year job!
So many people say don't do this but this is a good old school tip. Thanks for posting this.
Ogotuwa Obuto except it looks like a pos
Love it!....doesn’t give a shit what the snowflakes say...old boy, old school rules! 👍👍👍😄😄
Great comment and 100% hard hitting facts
Awesome! Another subscriber. Liked your tip on removing oil from your hands!
Awesome job pop!!! You got another subscriber!!!
Thank you for the video, much appreciated will put it test!
I'm definitely going to do this

Excellent videos!
Yesterday, just stained my wood fence as you did.
Muchas gracias!
Cannot wait for part 3 and 4
There's a lot of scared scared people here.. probably hide away from viruses too 🤣
So much more interesting than the latest half million pound Lamferati's !

This is the way
hoping to see more videos from you sir
Good ides thanks.
a man who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.

I also use motor oil. But unused new oil because its not to dark color
When I built my shed I treated the underside of the plywood floor with engine oil. Its on a cement pad and 6 inches off the ground but I wanted it protected from winter snow and moisture and I had some used oil so it was an easy solution. Just rolled it on with an old paint roller.
a natural product great for the skin even better cleaned in mud and rinsed with some stagnant water
Then used the water to boil your vegetables. It's OK as long as you leave the skin on the veg!
What about the other side of the fence?
Will it be just as effective if it is not oiled on both sides?
used oil, for quite some time, learned this tip from my old man.

Master mechanic here: no, we don't wear gloves for oil toxicity. We wear them so our hands stay clean for touching your steering wheel.
Excellent idea. A wee bit if a shame the oil got on the concrete but some plastic sheeting or drop cloth would prevent. Good information.
from deep of my hard weshing you living anther 25 yers and people see you again
I did it too. This is what I used Woodprix designs for
thank you!
hahaha - loving this guy
I’ve been using engine oil as my face moisturiser for years and so many people ask why my skin looks so good.✌🏻🤣
You your still on here looks good I really want to try it. Does it smell and do I need to mix it with cerosote?
Would like to see a 7 years later update on the fence.
Try it with a 2x4 and wait 7 years, the old man probably got lucky and croaked before co^id and the accelerated degeneracy of western society and humanity in general.
Oil will do your skin wonders.wjy have I been using rubber gloves for yesrs
All right Terry, how's Arthur?
In a hundred years his hands will look as good as the day he oiled them
My wife spends a fortune on oils for her body and hair,
A gallon of good 20/50 engine oil is a lot cheaper

Wouldn't you track it all over your house/car/sidewalks?
don't forget to take a sip of that water, aaaahhh so refreshing.
I miss the smell of creosote, id say this would be the next best scent. Oil is the best for preserving wood
Nice color
I guess we can all see the effects of painting the fence with motor oil 25 years ago.🧟♀️
is it used engine oil? how many years is such maintenance?
Can i paint it after awhile
Nice job on the fence, pity about the wall .
The best designs and plans are available on the Stodoys plans website.
just like how our grandpa taught us to clean hands in the farm
Hi there. Great work. Is there any benefit to mixing with Creosote?
if you can get creosote, then yes. That's the old school method. Creosote is almost impossible to find today, however, due to the environmentalists.
The tiger king just shared this with Carol Basking.
TO keep it in the same line of idea , wash your hand with gasoline !
Ho ho
And rinse with kerosene!!!
A little WD-40 if lucky to have
Hahahhaha
silly question but will fence become flammable ?
no sir, would be harder to catch fire once oiled.
Sweet Jesus
what about all the overspill on the concrete?
The concrete will never get wood rot now 🤣🤣🤣
Use card board to protect it
Clean it up with Dawn, water and a scrub brush.
The posts rotted and the fence fell over
Is old engine better than new (unused) engine oil?
The price is certainly better. Free vs $5 per litre (approx).
Used oil will be darker colour then new oil
Great idea we should do that in Northern California so when the fires come we rebuild the fence too😏
Stupid comment. The fire would burn the fence regardless. What do you think the store bought stain has in it?
It's oil based.

Just use gloves, oil and cement wreak your hands and overtime your hands will be blistered!!

Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.
HEY ARTHUR, if it's so harmless you could dye your bed sheets with it just sayin.
@@dahartman88 Try mixing in ground asbestos for a better finish.
those shaky hands are from all the years of used oil contact
@@D4x4Bronc not really it is because he is old ...
Get it right mate, his name's Terry
is that joe biden?
Creepy uncle Joe
Kids be like 😲 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️
what wrong with a pair of gloves FFS
Men don't need gloves 💪
Had to cover the garden with some tarp, lazy man. Now will take forever for the cinder block to clear
not your business.
He obvs dgaf
And here I thought your modeling career was over.
Wear some rubber gloves! WTF!
One week later...RIP

Within a year it goes a brown colour.
Easy .... because not everyone likes the same things. Your opinions are not shared by everyone, although it does sound like you expect them to be.
Great that it preserves the wood but it looks like shit
Is this the bad advice channel 🤕
no its stupid comment section channel
This guy is seriously deranged.
Do it yourself, visit the Woodglut website and find out how.
