Oil Can

Posted on February 15, 2016February 14, 2016

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope your day was enjoyable…

Mine was, with a little of this, a little of that…

I cleaned up an oil can!

Remember the one a friend gave me for Christmas???  Well, Johnny found another one while cleaning out his shop and he was sweet enough to know I’d like it!

oil canYes, it looks a little disgusting… but with some Dawn dish soap, an SOS pad, and lots of HOT water…

It looks like its relative back behind!

Now to find some flowers or greenery to turn it into a vase as well!

Thanks, Johnny!

    Really neat old oil cans. They surely do look different all cleaned up–good job! They make great vases.

    Good find, Johnny! The oil can looks terrific. I love the soldering under the lip. Makes you wonder who did the work. Sure to be a relative.
