Hi,
I recently bought some old sorby & ibbotson chisels and planes.
They're in reasonable condition, the steel is sharp but has some inevitable rust spots and the wood is just plain dirty (excuse the pun)...grease and dust.
I want to use them daily but I don't want to refinish them too much, just tidy them up so they are clean to handle.
I've read that turtle wax is probably a good bet for cleaning the wood (unless anyone can recommend anything else) but does anyone have any suggestions on how I can go about removing the rust spots?
Regards
wwood
