Tool Cleaning Bucket

I didn't use all the sand in the chicken dust baths. In between making them, I made a tool cleaning bucket. 

Pretty simple - Fill a bucket halfway with sand. Add a cup of mineral oil. Wait an hour then stir. Repeat. 

To use, brush dirt off your tool then plunge the blade in the bucket. The sand is abrasive and polished the metal, the mineral oil coats the metal and keeps it from rusting. 

I tested it on a shovel. 

Looks nice and shiny, although I think I could add more mineral oil in the bucket. Seems a little patchy.
