In this video I will be showing you how to make your own paste wax / furniture polish. I have the ingredients used which in this case is only 2 and the process i use to make my own paste wax. This is a very simple and easy process that i believe everyone can do.
However there are a few safety points to follow:
1- Don't get the oil on the flames
2- Take extreme caution when working with hot things that can burn.
3- Don't over heat the oil
Hope you enjoy!
Let me know your own paste wax mixes in the comments below, lets make a list that everyone can try our for themselves.
Thanks for your support!

@@AussieWoodshed Thanks a lot for replying. ☺ If I put beeswax paste on it now would I still be able to do like a marine poly/danish oil coat later if I decide to?

@@boop7313 It is possible to remove paste wax after it has been applied, usually something like mineral spirit or naphtha are the 2 recommend products to do this, however I've never attempted that myself but have seen other recommend those 2 products. Generally most people will recommend some sort of poly for a hard wearing durable surface such as a dining table. I don't have much experience with poly's as i tend to use natural products where possible. There are lot of youtubers are using hard wax oil finishes as they usually all nature are easy to apply and look great. The hard wax oil finishes isn't as durable as poly's but are easy to repair when damaged with a simple quick sand and then reapplying. I have some experience with a hard wax oil sample pot i got from Bunnings a few years ago (not sure if they still sell it) which I've used a few times, it really is easy to use. The main 3 finishes i use are raw linseed oil (to avoid chemical driers), paste wax and shellac. I would suggest shellac but its usually not recommend for a dining table as its not very durable when heavily used where its possibly exposed to heat and/or alcohol. I have heard some mentions of shellac with a hardener in it which can prevent heat and alcohol spill causing issues, but I'm not sure what is used for this hardener (some sort of epoxy or poly i suspect) and i have not used it. So after all of that i believe the 2 most common finishes are either a ploy of some kind or a hard wax oil. I'm sure if you ask 100 woodworkers you could end up with 100 different answer with their own mixture to use as a finish. If it was me i'd just stick to a natural finish and deal with the downsides of whatever i used. Hope this helps

I use a very similar method, except I do the mixture in a glass jam pot and I double boil it. I simply put water in a pot, and the linseed oil/wax mixture in a jam pot in the water. I use a small electrical stove. I think it is very safe since there is no flame, and the water can't possibly get hot enough to ignite the mixture. It takes a while to melt (and to cool back down), but that's OK. I also use raw linseed oil, it is much more common here and I don't think the drying times are too bad. I love how it feels and looks on wooden tool handles, you get a really nice patina IMO.

@AussieWoodshed

Glad you liked the video. Linseed oil doesn't tend to go racid so with the wax i have never had it go rancid. You re-apply it when the work starts to look a bit dry or rough if you like your work to feel smooth to the touch. I have only used it on wooden chopping boards, but never on utensils, but i suspect it should be fine. I have also never used it on leather, not sure if Linseed oil paste wax oil is a good idea on leather as linseed oil is a polymerizing oil. I would suggest some research first. Hope this helps

The exact type of paste wax I was looking for. Many people just use minearal oil, but the most natural and healthy one is raw linseed oil for sure. However you could heat the oil before using it for wood, to make a kind of boiled linseed oil without chemicals, which fastens the drying process (Woodbywright made a video about it)
@AussieWoodshed
@AussieWoodshed Год назад
Thanks Durman, the main reason i made this video was because i wanted to show the most natural version i could. You're exactly right about the heating of the oil, it was the traditional way it was made before chemical driers were created. I too have seen woodbywrights video and wish to try it for myself at some point. Thanks for the comment, enjoy your all natural paste wax.

I'm going to be trying warming the beeswax and cold-pressed (not boiled) linseed oil as shown, but then use a syringe to suction the warm fluid and apply it quickly onto the wood before it becomes paste.

I was referring to linseed oil being flammable, and being heated over an open flame. I might not have made that clear enough, hope this clears that up. There is no problem heating the linseed oil and bees wax together, just don't overheat the linseed oil or splash it on the flame.

I always thought that terpentine was part of it ? I will research a bit more

Some recipes might, but the one i use here is a standard base recipe, and since it works so well i have stayed with it

Where do you get your bees wax from? Asking as an Aussie

I got it from a website called Restorers Choice based in NSW. The link is restorerschoice.com.au/shop/wax/pure-australian-beeswax-100-natural-1kg

Can this wax be used on cars?

I'm not sure, i have never used it on a car and am unsure if it would affect the paintwork.

can i make this paste wax with neem oil+castor oil+mustard oil ? can i apply this to indian clubs

Hi, I've never made paste wax with those combinations of oils before, so i can't recommend it but it should still work. I wasn't sure what indian clubs were so i googled them, as long as they're wooden i don't see why it wouldn't be fine for them.

Easiest way to flake up the beeswax is to place it on you bench hook and shave it off using a 25 or 35mm chisel. Much quicker, safer, gives more control, and finer flakes

In the opening lines of your video you said, "So the first process in making the beeswax we need to chop up this beeswax." What you should have said is, "To make the paste wax we need to chop up this beeswax." Only bees can make beeswax!
