Now I just use a lathe and save the mess.

Remember, the grease was there to reduce friction.

What were they even using that made it so messy? Some kind of hand tool?

My uncle told me they used a hand crank auger from like 1920. @the_william, that old method was just brute force and a prayer. I can't believe how sloppy it looked.
