WTF are Hardwax Oils? @tmuWolverine

Uploaded April 2018 | Updated September 2026, 22 hours ago

Hardwax Oils seem to be all the rage right now, but what are they and why should you care?

In this video I'll be going over what hardwax oils are and aren't, as well as looking at how they (visually) compare to other finishes I had laying around.

If you're interested in how they compare price wise, checkout the google sheets document I prepared docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q-1IYHbiCP9pFz-gxNSlQgwLly_C4ypQkJvlmWXzrGI/edit?usp=sharing

Arbortech Mini Carver Review (Powercarving Tool)

$TV Unit with Power Carved Ripple Sliding Doors For a long time our TV unit was one of those relatively inexpensive, seemingly everywhere generic “low line” beasts. Two glass doors, flanking two wide shelves that were never tall enough to put anything in, and a drawer on janky slides. We were able to get rid of that earlier in the year, so it was time to invoke the power of woodworking to make a new TV unit. We had just a few clear requirements – fractionally wider than the TV, no deeper than it needed to be, and the same size as our speakers (Yamaha NS-690s, inherited but great sounding speakers from the ’70s), and a design that matches in with other furniture in the house. Ideally, something that would minimise the access our cat has to cables and devices. Cabinet is made from Victorian Ash and Australian Blackwood.
