Tool Restoration and Maintenance
Someone asked me recently about what I use to protect the finish of my saws (and by proxy other tools, both hand and machine tools). The answer is straight forward, though perhaps not as simple as I initially thought… I use paste wax to help protect them from rust and also to reduce friction in their use. I also use paste wax on some of the furniture I make and restore also. I have often sensed a bit of confusion on using waxes, what they are and how they work, in conversations I've had with others. Some revile it – likely because of a bad reaction with a finish of some sort or perhaps in some cases because of unrealistic expectations.
