Hi
I have in my workshop what i think is an old (maybe 1960's) workbench still in good order with a woodvice still on it from yonks ago.
What i did not realise until today was how dirty it is and its marking wood i lay on it. I thought i could get away with maybe using my old electric planer and taking a few mm of the surface but discovered ALOT of nails in the wood hidden by the muck.
Has anyone got some idea of how i can clean the top down please?
The top size is 240 cm x 75 cm if that helps to formulate any cleaning plans.
The dirt seems to be oil and anything over the years that has built up. I feel sure it is a solid oak or some other similar hardwood so it should clean nicely.
Thanks in advance.
