RE: Giving steel a black "patina" w/linseed oil - Scrapwood Challenge - Mallet

[MWF]

Bill,

I checked it twice - worked both before I sent it - and after. 

Thank you for your link - convenient if someone later just wants to watch the video again.

Bill,

Exact same video - except the link I posted takes you to a page that has the "description" (written comments) of the process - and if you scroll down, there's the "picture" for the video with the "Play" arrow/triangle in the middle.  The video is Great - but having the write-up is a big help.

Either way, the entire Project is pretty cool - and I thought others would enjoy it.

I still can't wait to see the mallet that Joe will make!

You know what they say - When you are having trouble getting a piece to fit where it is supposed to fit, and it won't go?  "Get a BIGGER hammer!"

Tim & others,

 

I saw the process demonstrated on a "project" the guy was making on "Scrapwood Challenge".

Here is a link to that video:

 

https://www.scrapwoodchallenge.com/projects/categories/tools

 

Of course, we would use our LOMs to turn the mallet head and get the handle shaped.  Also should be able to mortise the mallet head for the handle hole as well as drill out the head's 2 faces to accept washers/weights and the rolled up leather. 

Consequently, this Challenge Project is very germane to our LOM Group's discussions. (I can't wait to see how big of a mallet Joe fabricates - probably a 2-handed one!)  LoL!

 

Have fun & Enjoy!

Mac

Hey Mac that sounds pretty neat! Could you share more detail on that? My wife is into making things look old and that 

might be a pretty cool process.

I'm open to discuss one on one if you'd like as well as posting?

Kind Regards,

Curtis,

Thank you for sharing.  Really nice.  They remind me of a long-handled cudgel.  You could put "the Hurt" on someone with them!

 

I read a neat technique to apply to steel (like your horse shoes):

Heat the steel up to being very hot - but not red.  Brush on linseed oil, rub it in, and lightly buff.

The effect:  The steel is left with a black patina look.  Very nice - and somewhat easy.

 

Be Safe (and handle the torch and hot horse shoes VERY carefully!) and have fun.

 

Mac

Hello Everyone

I had a weekend with out having to work, Which means, I got time in the shop this weekend. ;-)

 

Here are two new canes that I made, the horseshoe can handles are something that Ive been playing around with. (as something new, for me to try.)

the first one I used the wave attachment, with a roughing end mill bit, cutting from the side. The second one, I played with some stringed buttons look.

the buttons are on a 15" pitch, ( I used Mike's gear indexing method to set up the buttons.) It worked out Neat !

 

Please let me know what you think?
