Years ago I was in a printing company any we use linseed oil on a wooden die cutting bed. The rags used to coat the bed made enough smoke to fill a 100,000 ft warehouse. Never saw a flame, but is was coming.
It has been said that Joseph H Hazelton, silent Screen Actor, had a romantic interlude with Dame Mae Fishman. They had a child out of wedlock that they named Wilkes J Hazleton. Fishman and Hazleton went on to make more movies but without each other. It is unknown what happened to their son Wilkes.
John Wilkes Booth died in VA. His body was identified by close to 10 people & the soldiers who surrounded the barn. He died a death fitting his crime. His body is buried in MD with the rest of his family at the foot of his righteous sister, Asia Booth! He has a distinct tattoo on his hand missing from this body set up by charlatans to bilk people out of their money. JWB was manipulated into throwing his life away & hurting his family when he could have just left to Brazil as a colonizer for Confederates, had the lifestyle he preferred & been somebody! He abandoned his sister. He should have lived & traveled to the UK & confronted his bad brother in law for how he was treating his sister, Asia! Obama would never have been more than a contender had Lincoln lived which would have spared US Prez Joker One Election aka JOE Biden who deserves the fate of Lincoln unlike Abraham Lincoln! The globalists of the time via the Central Democratic Committee led by George Sanders manipulated JWB to be their mercenary to kill Pres. Abraham Lincoln! Wish there was more investigation & expose on that although the facts are out there!
Great video. Do you do any sanding in between coats like one would do with True Oil finish. You just wipe it on let it dry and wipe on a second coat... let it dry... and the same for every coat? The stock looks great. Thanks for make this video. :)
Hi! So glad I found this video. I was just looking for generic refinishing videos and stumbled across the exact gun I'm trying to refinish. The gun was bought by my great great grandfather in the 40's to shoot ducks for market (back then you could sell them). Then it was passed to my grandfather, my father, and he recently passed it to me. I'm curious about a few of your steps. When you say you got a razorblade into the knurling, do you mean you went inbetween every single knurl? Also I'm curious to see what cleaning with a razorblade even really entails. Did you use an electric sander, hand, or a mixture of both? There is also a little pock mark on the hand guard I'd love to send you a picture of and see if you know of a way to fix it. Thanks!
Important note: There's a big difference between standard boiled linseed oil and Tru-oil. Tru-oil has aditives to make it dry faster and also usually a wood stain in it. Also Tung oil is absolutely different thing and will smell like fries and will not dry completely. If you want to use traditional oil finish by boiled linseed oil, what worked best for me is a hand rubbed finish by these steps: 1: clean the wood as best as you can, soak it in acetone if it is needed. Get rid of all oil, , dirt, rust, vax and old finish products 2: let it dry perfectly, but don't put it in direct heat (as radiator heat can warp, twist or crack wet wood). This step will take anywhere from 12 hours to 10 days, don't rush it. Put it in room temperature somewhere and wait. Acetone residue will also damage wood stain and final finish if you don't let it dry off, so don't rush this 3: Repair wood if its needed. Do a good job with tools specialized for wood. Wood bondo doesn't work as bedding material and super glue doesn't work for crack repair 4: apply wood stain if desired. you will aply it with wide brush along the wood grains. Wait about 2 hours and wipe all excess stain with paper towels. Let it dry for 24 hours and wipe it all again but with clean rag. 5: apply boiled linseed oil by your bare hands, dont use towels, rugs or paintbrushes, fingers will do just fine and you'll be able to spread it evenly.. Important..overdo a first coat, let it be absolutelly all over the stock, linseed oil needs to be in heavy coat to soak in the wood in depth. 5: Regularly check wood every few minutes, each time you see dry spot immediately add more linseed oil. Keep wood completely wet like that for around one hour 6: after one gour of manualy wetting the wood, take a paper towel, wipe of excess oil and you'll end up with soaked wood that doesn't have thick coat on but is still wet to the touch 7: use your open hands and fingers to rub finnish to the wood. Do wiping motions following wood grain but eith you bare hands, adjust speed so both your hand and wood gets pretty warm. This step is important and it'll open wood grains and allow oil to be pressed in. Rub rhe stock like this for anywhere around 10-35 minutes make sure oil gets everywhere, even inside the cut outs for action 8: After that wood will still feel just a little bit wet, leave it like that, just make sure oil is evenly spread (there's no buildup anywhere)and place it somewhere with room temperature 9: Wait 24 - 30 hours 10: Congratulations, your first coat is on, wipe the entire srock with clean cloth rag and wait until stock stop being sticky (as linseed oil dry, it gets sticky until it dry completely). 11: After wood is not sticky anymore (around 2 days) You can repeat the process or you are finish. Just take in consideration that each coat will require larger amount of time to dry and lower ammount of oil used. Never leave the stock completely wet without wiping off and hand rubbing the excessive oil as it will become sticky and DRY NEVER. If you did, you have to wash stock in acetone bath for 12 hours and repeat all this again 12: apply another coats only when stock STOPPED being sticky. It usually looks like this 1rh coat- 1 day- 2 thcoat- one week - 3th coat- 2 weeks -4th coat- one month- 5th coat- 2 months - 6th coat 13: Tru-oil will dry much much faster, so consider using it. Boil linseed oil is archaic method that has been around since BC times, its not perfect amd certainly not immediate. But if you have time and Will, your stock can look same like that nice looking 130 years old rifle you got from auction and always wondered how they made its wood look so good. Signing out. Ask me for any questions
Booth shouldve got a medal and a pardon He was a true American hero Lincoln was a heartless tyrant and a dictator who violated every article of the US Constitution Lincoln got what he deserved Im only sorry Booth didnt kill him sooner Sic Semper Tyrannus
That would be like a kin to witnessing and surviving the likes of the titanic sinking and surviving….. or the San Francisco in 1900 earthquake!!!!!!!!!!
Planning to treat walnut stock on m1a with oiled linseed oil. Having not done this before will practice on two pieces of walnut of pretty much same size to see how it comes out to be safe. There’s a saying about treating the stock on m1 and m1a. Once a day for a wk., Once a wk. for a month., Once a month for a year., and then once a yr. after that. We’ll see how the stock comes out after each coat to see if it needs all those coats.
Knurling or what ever ?You mean checkering? Yeah don't feel bad it's only been called CHECKERING for a couple of hundred of years ! Linseed oil yeah that was good 150 years ago! Anyone that does not know what checkering is called should not be giving no one advice on any thing! Not knowing what something is called on a firearm is the mark of a know nothing!
Knurling is the proper name so you really just made that nasty comment to make a fool of yourself, and in the case of metal it is really only called knurling. Further linseed oil is a very common oil finish for guns, utensils, tool handles, furniture and plenty of other wood surfaces. Grumpy bastard
Nice video, I did that to my grandfather's 30 30, 94 manufactured in1937. Only I did not sand it, I smooth it out with 0000 steel wool, and six coats of Boiled Linseed Oil. Looks original.
