I use Mineral oil and Bees wax on the salad spoons I make. I hit the wood with a heat gun and the oil just sucks in.
I will try the BLO.

How did that pipe get loose in the first place ?
When I was 17 I worked at a plumbing wholesale part time. We were all warned about how dangerous rolling pipe could be. I had a near miss with some 12 inch cast iron pipe.

Hi Folks
I went to change oil on the snow blower a Husquvarna with the snow king engine.

I would have thought a good antenna would be a given. I really want a PB. I have to look for an old radio and see if I can salvage some parts.
My old radio in the shop had poor reception, so I strung some copper wire and that seemed to help. Being in a valley seems to make reception a PITA. No FM stations at all.
