Thread: Tool chest light restoration

Hey. I've acquired a, at least, hundred year old carpenters tool chest, actually two of them. I want to do a clean-up of them, no full-on restoration or anything like that... I was thinking of just hitting them with a wax and steel wool rub to clean off the many decades of dirt and to spruce them up... But they have oil stains on them and was wondering if the wax will not take with the oil stains.

If not, what would you do to reduce the oil stains for the wax to take


Or! What would you do over all...
