Must be clergy?

yes it is to long and I can't pronounce it either.

Festus? Wow! That's pretty strong. Now if I had broke something then maybe, Hop along would work.

Ok, amazingly enough no broken bones but very swollen and black and bue, also made a hole in the top. I had turned it on its side to wire wheel and it slipped off. I do feel like a cartoon. I have had a broken toe when a draft horse stepped on it while shoeing it a while back and I also broke a toe fencing years ago so I was pretty sure it was broken this time also. I couldn't sleep so I went ahead and set my small 35# pound Columbia by the fire for a couple hours and heated it up, I had wire wheeled it last week, I went ahead and coated it with the new brew I made and will wipe off the excess tonight and reassemble tonight.

Ok, I made a recipe/mix tonight, I melted 1lb of bees wax, which came to 1 quart, in a double boiler, I added 1quart of turpentine and 1 quart of boiled linseed oil. I melted it all together and went out in the garage and started wire wheeling one of my anvils, I decided to start with the 150 lb anvil, wish I hadn't, I turned it over on its side and it proceeded to slip of my stand and onto my foot, I am now sitting in the ER waiting for the X-ray results. will update the results of the new brew I made when I get a chance.

Going to try it on one of my leg vises and an anvil I just picked up. Thanks.

Yep, that's what it smells like, would johnsons paste wax work for metal preservative as described earlier in this thread? what if a guy mixed in some BLO?

Johnsons paste wax smells like it has turpentine or something similar in it, do you know if it does? I have the ingredients to make a batch, so I am going to whip up some this week.

Hey Jerry, as requested, Just a reminder for you, check your postit notes.
