Restoring a 1800s Tool for my Wife. Because I was to Cheap to Buy New.
What happens here
Once the cutter is completely dry, apply an eco-friendly lubricant, specifically 'Super Duper' vegetable oil-based WD-40, to all moving parts and surfaces to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Spray the lubricant generously onto the blade mechanism, hinges, and any areas where metal meets metal. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off any excess lubricant, leaving a thin protective film. This step ensures the tool operates smoothly and maintains its pristine condition.
Goal: Ensure smooth operation and protect the tool from rust
