I’m going to make a little oil can, similar to the one that Paul uses. I am curious though, if I wanted to lubricate wooden tools in a similar manner (planes, spokeshaves), is it better to?
1. Use an oil that covers both types of tool (suggestions for oil appreciated).
2. Make two lubricators, one with oil, another with soft wax.
3. Use the machine oil on both types of tool, given the small quantity involved.
Just curious really, if anyone has any experience with this. In the past, I have rubbed a candle up the side of a hand plane to keep it running smoothly on a shooting board.
