I don't know about your neck of the woods, but I hear and read the term being used mostly by Boomers rather than Millenials. There's far fewer wood-turners and whittlers in their 20s compared with those in their 60s, at least where I live. You'll be telling us that eating avocados on toast and buying £3 coffees is why we Millenials can't afford houses next.

I use autosol on my Tormek, and on my leather strop before I got that because I can get it locally, it works well and it has other uses. I've also successfully used valve grinding compound and other buffing soaps (green and grey), though these do get a bit claggy. Not sure if it's because they're formulated/expected to be used on a fast wheel with lots of friction or because I've been sold old stock but they certainly work.

I get it about the lack of younger folk doing hands on type of work its happening here to I guess they just cant find an app. for it. Again I apologize if I offended you in any way I was just funnin a bit with the Starkie blue AKA smurf poo, it is a very fine abrasive indeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
