show me your cleared over vintage tool box

[jim]

Show me some pictures of your vintage tool boxes that have the patina cleared over. Also tell a little story on how you did it and how you kept the patina. Gloss or matte or dull clear finish? Prep work that you did. Other info? Jim

Here I thought more people did this than I thought. I thought it was a more popular practice. It would be great to see more before and after pictures as I was thinking of doing this with one of my boxes. Jim
