  1. I very much miss my paternal Grandparents. My European Grandma was wise in the ways of gardening & health way ahead of her time. I was recently given a pair of long bladed rusted vintage trimmers, I'm going to try restoring them using your method. Thanks!

  2. After using any tool I always clean and wipe them off. Always clean all dirt and soil from your garden tools it will help from rusting. My father taught me to return a borrowed tool cleaner than you received it. Great video ,take good care of your tools .

  3. I planted a pineapple last yr when u ran a video about it. It has grown like mad & I’m wondering if I need to transplant it? U said in ur video to plant it in a small container, & I did. Since it has grown so much I’m wondering wether to leave it or transplant????

  4. Boiled linseed oil is the best to put on wooden handles to maintain. It also helps keep wooden handles from splitting or splintering.

    If you should be fortunate to inherit some of your grandparents garden tools, hang onto, treasure and restore them. They are much better made and have been tweaked with years of use and sharpening into keen tools! I have 3 garden hoes that belonged to my folks. The blade had been worn and sharpened down to awesome little in close weeders and cultivators! : )

  5. That was great, Luke! I can’t believe how easy and how great the results are!! It really is true that you can always buy a new one every year, but why? Just get better quality and keep it in good shape. Thanks

  6. I use used motor oil and sand to restore shovels and rakes etc. I leave the oil on over the winter then clean it off for the spring. It is simple and cheap.I also use the oil for wood fencing as a preservative it stands up for years against the elements. The oil is absorbed into the wood and delays rot for years.
