Rag in a Can - Keep Tools Rust Free

[Nomad64]

Someone posted this video for making a brilliantly simple DIY tool for keeping tools rust free (and your hands safe) on a woodland management FB group - though it worth sharing.

I’d not heard of Paul Sellers before but his YT channel has enough projects to keep a keen woodworker busy during a prolonged period of self-isolation and even if you don’t make anything, Paul’s soothing voice and easy teaching style will soothe even the most frayed nerves.

I do enjoy Paul Sellers, like you say he's got a load of projects to keep you busy for years

This looks a very usefull bit of kit. Easy to use and best of all no spillage and getting oil all over stuff. Think I'm gonna make one myself.
Don't forget to ask the Mrs for an old tea towel cos she won't be best pleased if you just take one.!
Added bonus us it's repurposing and recycling instead of just throwing a teatowel away.
Great idea.

I've had one of these for years, but I would suggest that you get a tin that has a good tight lid on it, as the open tin will become dry very easy, and you are forever topping it up.

Paul Sellers has got to be one of the best woodworking channels on YouTube. I made one of those oilers a while back. I couldn't quite believe how much easier a quick swipe of oil can make sawing and planing.

That's extremely presumptious of you!

I’m planning to use one if my old frocks!

I bet it will be the prettiest oiler in the world! But what on earth are you going to wear to the shops?

Going to the shops is so last week!
