I had a cutting board made from some nice wood, but which was starting to lose its bright appearance.
A bit of research later, and I get some food-safe mineral oil and wax to restore the surface. Long story short, I was so impressed by how my cutting board came back to life, now I’m looking for any excuse to touch up all the wood in our house. I don’t even mind if I clean the cutting board and wash off some of the wax, because then I have an excuse to apply another layer. There’s something fun about buffing and polishing a surface.
I’m thinking of getting into woodworking just so I can do this more. I don’t even really want to make anything, just apply a bunch of tung oil to a random plank and then wax it to a shine.
Are you me? This is blow-for-blow exactly what has happened to me over the last year or so. I am hanging on by a thread against the desire to get into woodworking, someone send help.
I’ve been woodworking for a few years, I’ve been tempted to start a Peertube channel about it, and I’d be tempted to do woodworking for beginners kind of content.
I have a background in flight instruction, I work well when I have a student to work with, would you (or @CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) be interested in somehow collaborating on something like that? Record some shop-to-shop video calls or something?
