It works really well, I like the feel of it, on some things I think it would be too thick, so I would go with how the tool fits in your hand, I think everybody would be different!
"Cutting Nippers" is the official name in Dasco's 1925 catalog for the model 310. The same in the 1947 catalog but in 47 it says they're Dipped in Rich Black Lacquer with Polished Heads.
Motor oil is used for hot bluing. Linseed oil is better for wood, although I use motor oil for wood as well since it darkens both the metal and the wood, and I love it.
You are right, but I tried and I learned and maybe someone else did too, I do not mind showing my screw ups, if someone else can get something out of it, that's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with the posts that said use motor oil not mineral oil. My dad used to do this and he would heat the tools up just short of changing color and then drop them in a bucket of used motor oil. They used to spit and splatter when they first hit the oil but they turned out almost black. He told me that the dirtier the oil the better it worked.
They turned out really nice DJ. I always use motor oil and heat to achieve a dark protective finish. Try laying the tools on a gas grill to heat them up before dipping them in motor oil. It works for me.
Yea, I think next time I cook on my pit, I will use the coals to heat the tool up and then dip it in some old used oil! When I say my pit I have a 48" round by 24" deep, so I can have a big fire going!
I am willing to bet your friend confused boiled linseed oil for wood and used motor oil for metal. I have 12 cleaned up tools and I am preparing to lay them on my gas grill before dropping them into a deep bucket of used motor oil. Nice video.
I kind of agree with you but I tried, plus I showed it so if anybody thought about they could see, I am going to try old black used oil and setting the tool in a bed of coals next time!
Find some how-to on iron pan seasoning. Should be pretty close. I use linseed when it's just warm and then put it in the oven in cleaning mode, ~500 degrees for an hour. Turn off the oven and let cool . Once cool wipe it down. Those instruction sound like iron seasoning so go for it.
Beautiful restoration DJ and the double shrink tubing is a great idea. Thanks for sharing your expertise 😊

I am going to try that next, cannot wait for a day off!

yeah.. I think the linseed oil anyway is not that much durable on the metal as a motor oil is.

I am going to try that too, next time I cook chicken or a steak on my pit, I will use the coals to heat up a tool and try old dark oil!
You are too humble.
Thanks!
They turned good I like all of you're videos side note try truck bed liner for tool drawer liner in you're tool chests I do it and it works real good
That is a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!
You can rub walnut husks on the tools too.
I will look into that!

Thanks for the tip!
My Dad always called them pinchers.
I like it, my dad called them tongs and it did not matter what size they where, they were tongs!
Looks almost like my horse shoe puller my
Hope you like them!
They dont have to be sharp to pull shoes off a hoof
Yea, you are right, but I know very little about horses, and I will be using these for nail pullers, and tack pullers!!!!!!
