JG, those handles are going to make excellent tollikers.

humanshoes, what I would use is boiled linseed oil. I use it on my finishing bench, bottom board, and some tools. I never had a problem. sometimes I need to re-sand it and ad new linseed oil.
+1 x2 re HS' work and H4's tools.
The bell spinner and giant rounding jack are stunning. Your collection is truly awesome. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I hope so. I've got a pretty cool idea for some metal tollikers too, but that is one thing I'm going to hold my mud on, at least for now. If it works, I'll post photos though.

They're brass. Do you think that's a problem?

Yes, that's the cause of the green bulge, often seen in the back of vintage hats.

The tiny little straw you get with a drink at the local pub. Some are very thin thought they could work in a pinch with a little crazy glue you can grab both ends of the reed.

Block maker I like the last block on the right first row! What would you sell that for? If you don't want to publish price you can PM me. Thanks, nice work.
Well, not for many years probably, but vintage men's hats often have green verdigris from brass (I believe ?) ferrules, so I went with steel roll pins to try to avoid that.

PM sent!
Received the new rounding jack today. Pleasantly surprised to learn it takes old flat razor blades - pulled out to demonstrate.
The ruler is interesting - it is imprinted onto the body, the rest of which has been stained.
I've photographed the hardware - maybe it will help some of you guys:

Candlestick holder spinner conversions. The broader based one is shorter & more stable. I'll be adding a wider base to the other, which was the prototype.
Having no boiled linseed oil handy, I oiled the spindle with teak oil, which is also good choice for hardwood because it "hardens in the wood not on the wood." Then I waxed it.
A note: If you try this project (and why not, it's an easy one) make sure to sand the taper hole well to remove any wax residue before gluing the spindle in.
