What a joy to get your hands on such stunning old tools! For me, the tung oil and restore a finish did the best job as the wood looked like it could do with a good soaking. Great job on the restoration
Thank you. I agree the Restor-a-Finish was really quite nice and surprised me a bit, as I haven't used that product much before. Tung oil certainly will bring back the natural beauty of any old wood after a proper sanding.
OK, I have to comment. The backgrounds on most all of your videos are dark colored. So you must use a high contrast color for your font in your notations. The blue is just not cutting it. White or a very light gray would be the better choice. And to multiply this issue, try watching this on a cell phone! Between the non-contrasting font and it's small size I just feel like i want to skip your videos. Don't need the aggravation.
Tung oil finish, hands down for me. Nice job, always fun to bring old tools back from the brink of total loss. Thanks for the video,enjoyed watching.
Many thanks...it was quite fun to bring those old guys back to life!

Really nice restoration on all of them. Thanks for sharing your expertise
Many thanks for watching...it was fun to clean all those up and see what was underneath it all!
Lovely tools. Great work.
Many thanks...I'm rather addicted to wooden handle tools and old wooden levels! ;^)
All of the stains/oils look good to me. Much better than the black paint.
Excellent tutorial

I appreciate your feedback and will take a look at the font colors for my next video.
Looks like a Buffalo screwdriver in the mix. Mine are about 55+/- years old. Hard to think of them as vintage, but they are getting old.
Ah yes, those 2 fluted screwdrivers are most probably Buffalo. Thanks for watching!
