So very interesting! The contrast between the two shoes is remarkable, and a reflection of your wisdom and generosity. You, sir, are indeed a renaissance man. Thank you!

Hi Mikko, thanks for sharing your Boot Grease recipe. I made up a big batch, but had to use beef tallow. Works like a charm! Many thanks, Vernon

Hi Mikko. Love your work!

I could watch such videos all day long. 👌🏻👍🏻

I love when you spit on your boots to clean them, my mother would spit on a tissue to clean the dirt off my face when I was a little child. It doesn't get any more traditional... Great video...

Greetings Mikko, hope you're well. Excellent tutorial. I really enjoy the traditional methods. Simple and effective. Thank you for sharing them. Happy holidays.

the moment you spit i just know you can be trusted

Big thank you for that nice Video !

Thank you for sharing this with us sir.

Thank you again, Mikko.

Anyone else wonder how someone ever came up with the idea to mix beeswax, tallow, and pine tar to make leather conditioner???😮😮😮

excellent...thank you

I bought some military surplus items with leather on them from Varusteleka. I've been looking for a way to make my own leather grease. Kiitos!

Ole hyvä - You are welcome!

My tar does not seem to mix with the tallow and wax at all - what could be wrong?

Try higher heat. And remember to warm up all of the ingredients.

What does "Nahkaraswa" mean (on the lid)?

Leather grease in Finnish

When you say the leftover tallow bits are good for birds, do you mean chickens or just sparrows?

Both!

Looks like snus in that little tin.
