Still sorting old Hard drives and USB sticks. I found this nice little set.

A tad dirty.

But the insides were better.

The tools were de rusted, were needed. Cleaned up. Then they were warmed until spit popped off. Then bee's wa was applied.

The wood was cleaned and sanded. Then a varnish was applied in about 5 thin coats. Then a wax was applied.

Very nice. And you found them while sorting out hard drives? I must take a look inside a couple of old desk top computers I have in the attic, I might find some sets in there - or something equally unexpected.
