Matt Estlea | How to CLEAN and MAINTAIN Cast Iron MACHINERY @MattEstlea | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 30 seconds ago
During my 5 years working at Axminster on weekends, many of my shifts consisted of cleaning the tools and machines on display. This is because the cast iron tables were constantly being touched by customers grubby hands, and us stuff were always fighting the uphill battle to keep the surface rust at bay. While also keeping the machine looking clean and presentable to potential buyers.
This is the process I found worked best for me over those 5 years and can be applied to both machine tables and tools such as planes and chisels.

π΅οΈββοΈ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and Iβm a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time.
