Basically it’s a poprivet adjusted not to tight. Quite simple. Are yo in the UK or US? I can probably find one but I also see them on ebay from time to time.

This is a good question. People always seem seriously concerned about this, mostly because of what has been written by way of accounting for things such as fisheye or flash in the surface finish after applying varnish and such. The risk is however minimal and certainly not from what I am suggesting. The oil leaves no residue on the wood and in all my years of using it (and the men before me who did the same for decades) this was never am issue, so I think try it and see f it works for you. My tools never rust and the ease through cuts as smoothly as can be.

Paul
Have you ever noticed the oil leaving a mark or interfering with any subsequent polish?
especially on pine and other light woods. I have always tried to keep machine oils and the like away from my wood for fear of marking or contaminating them.
