Thanks for taking us to the show John -like like a lot of fun for sure. I once had a wobble develop in a wheel, but it was from the "slip on" type arbor on my (old washing machine) motor. I had it for years and then for some reason the hole inside started to work itself to be out of round. I never knew Winchester made pliers! Thanks for another great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi John, these videos really float my boat. Seeing what is at tool sales in various parts of the world really interests me and I don’t know why but I always get a bit of a kick out of seeing the same tools I have for sale on the other side of the world. At 0:45 you went past a little G clamp that is only about 2-2 1/2” opening but about 4” deep in the throat and I have picked up a few of those lately because I occasionally get a project where a G clamp isn’t deep enough and an F clamp with that depth of throat is just to big and bulky and a couple of those little camps have saved the day. Great job on the pliers, I find deciding how far to go is one of the hardest parts of restoration but I think you put it perfectly “the rarer it is, the less you do”. That’s great advice for all of us. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks for showing the Hess truck. My grandfather bought 3 of them for me when I was little for a few birthdays. Those little trucks probably had 100k miles on them from driving from my bedroom to the den to play with them. The tool show looked great. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the buffing wheel lesson. That paper bushing is brilliant! I have a couple of wheels that are oversized so now I know what to do about it. I, too, saw you pause over the large clamps. Surprised they didn't come home with you. Love the tour of the flea market. 😀
Charlie is famous again! 👍🏻 The Wonder Dog! It was great going to the Brush Barn and meeting everyone and Steve is always super nice and friendly and all these guys were so laid back and willing to offer helpful advice. Thanks for introducing me to this whole world that’s actually right in my own backyard. Dans lathes are absolute works of art and you can tell how much he cares about them and keeps them in tip top shape. They can fit inside Herman Munsters lunchbox! I got some really nice pieces that were super reasonable. I’ll definitely go back again! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Hi Joe! It was Awesome! Seriously a bunch a great guys!!!! Next time (September) you and Charlie can get there early! Remember July 20th Jacktown! Early!!!!! =)
I like your tip of using the saw blade to "dress up" your buffing wheels. My wife will appreciate me not slipping my buffing wheels into her washing machine ;)
1:50 CLAMPS! Thank you for showing how to mount wheels on the bench grinder. I hate those plastic gizmo's that go in a wire wheel. I use machine thrust bearings to take up slack on my wheels, they are pretty spot on for size like you said. Washers are toooooo big and the bench grinder hops around the garage. Those Winchester pliers are great. I love those trade shows. I have none like that where I'm at unless I'm not looking deep enough. Someday after retirement, I'll make it out there and have to go by and visit. I'm trying to figure out what to do with an old Athol vise I picked up for $10 bucks at a yard sale. It's a heavy vise and will smash one's thumb, don't ask. Love me some Mish Mosh Mondays!
Great tool collector's organization you have up there. Thanks for the tips on cleaning and balancing the wheels on your motorized polisher/grinders and the bearing lubrication trick. Many people don't realize that 3-in-1 Oil is an excellent shop lubricant, and is actually relatively inexpensive if you buy the bigger sizes. The larger sizes will last for years, and it never goes bad. WD-40 is is great for penetrating and cleaning, but 3-in-1 is a better lube and not paying for a spray can saves money; together they'll cover most of the things in your shop that you might need to break free, clean or oil.
You are so right! 3in1 has a whole new line of lubricants that are wonderful! The Red 3in1 is about a 10w and I use it all the time! This Blue 3in1 is a 20w and is what most motors call for as a lubrication! WD40 is a great cleaner! =D Thanks!!!!!!
I wish we had such a beautiful place to shear these great old tools we are starting to see more and more American made tools on our shelves with the changing important laws so good to see. Look out Charlie’s about such a cool dog love him. I just happened to get two small vices to restore you can never have to many ha ha. 👍
On a slightly different topic.. today electricians started running the conduit and wiring up my workshop...Yaaaa! Tomorrow night I should have lights! I did notice something while I watched them work. I now know why linesman electrical pliers are often bashed up a bit on the nose. The electricians use their pliers to knock out slugs in the junction boxes and as hammers to square up the boxes after they've been screwed to the wall. Cheers from NC/USA
25 years ago my company relocated from one end of the property to the other side. The new building was state of the art for that time and had all union electricians. We would go there on our lunch breaks and after hours to check progress on what would be our new home... They ran dozens of conduit lines overhead and had them spaced and bent perfectly next to each other, it was just beautiful. Scores of lines were run overhead and it looked as organized and clean as if it were done for artistic reasons. You learn early that it seems there are two types of electricians, the bash thru sheetrock type and make a mess, or the perfectionist who makes everything look just beautiful... =) I love watching the second one work! =) Congrats on getting new lighting!
Thanks for letting us see the tool show. Y’all are lucky up north. Many more hand tools than we have here in the south. I saw a few things I’ve been looking for even on the $1 blue tarp lol
ScoutCrafter lol I bet! If u get the chance you might enjoy my old barn pick video. I found some pretty cool stuff and the lady didn’t mind me filming while I was there
I just got started in tool restoration, and have been watching your videos like crazy. Thanks for the informative and interesting content. Keep 'em coming!
That was awesome!! Anytime I find an old tool that is just rusted up and you can’t see any markings at all.... then the wire wheel starts to reveal a glimpse of a mark.... or is that just a mark from rust.... the the wire wheel takes the rest of the rust off and you see what you were hoping for the whole time!!! Very exciting!! That is what the hunt is all about right there! Finding treasure in things that other people saw as garbage basically. Great video please keep up the great work sir!!! PS- I really liked the little blooper at the end lol that’s a good way to get people to watch until the end!! I do anyways but just saying!!
Thanks for the video Scout, the swap meet looks great, i'm so envious that you have such a good group that meet like that, the variety of tools there is fantastic. If I had a meet like that locally, i'd spend a fortune, the Mrs would disapprove!
Real great mosh again!! Thank you so much for taking us on a trip to the tool collectors meet, I enjoy that so much! The truck looks so cool all lit up!
Wow I love these tool shows you get to. Love looking at all the tools they always have a great assortment. When I sore the ornate T square I said I want it looked brill couldn't tell if it was hand carved or pressed but either way it looked cool . Thanks again John enjoyed 👍
Hello David! Yes that was very interesting!! That guy who was selling at that table is a great guy, his Dad was a BIG time collector and passed away. Now the Son is selling off his collection... I heard his Dad had a whole house full of awesome stuff! =)
Looks like a great time at the show! You are lucky to have them in your area. I saw that you spent a little extra time filming those clamp's! Are we going to see them in a future episode? Loved the Winchester pliers have found a pair of regular pliers and a backsaw to add to my collection that are Winchester. Hope you're having a good summer as it has been extremely hot and humid here. Take care buddy.
I saw a nice Leroy lettering set and tool and cutter grinder I'd like to have. Nice pliers with the Winchester on them. Good treatise on bushing and fitting buffing wheels. Burned the heck out of my thumb yesterday while making a bushing, forgot how hot steel can get. 😀 Another fine Monday Mosh, thanks!
Another Excellent Video!! More information per square inch than the Encyclopedia Britannica!! Great ways to deal with balance issues! Of course I'm always out of balance but that's another story! LOL! Happy July!!
"Maybe you'll see something you like." Literally the first thing I saw, namely that back saw, I liked! I totally want one of those! Thanks for another fun presentation!
Firstly, Charlie is Gorgeous. Is he yours? I have a Boston and you can tell by her fine mustache that she is a lady. Also, if I had only seen this video three years ago. Found a used bench grinder, started learning about wire wheels, then buffing. This would have sped it up so much. Thanks for getting this class out there.
Nice tips. Whenever I'm selling tools I can't get them off the truck fast enough for the crowd to gobble up. (Not that I sell many tools). The pliers came out great!
That dollar tarp out on the lawn was looking good! Apparently Winchester tools are so collectible, people have been making fakes - grinding off and re-stamping tools with the Winchester logo.
The only reason I left the stamping and didn't go further on those pliers is because you don't see many of those around... Personally I wished I could have taken it to the next level! LOL Thanks N!
When I don't go to the tool swap, there is stuff I want to buy. But when I'm there is barely anything catches my eye haha. Neat didn't know Winchester had lineman pliers! 2:45 I had a pair of those lathe legs sold them to a industrial furniture builder for $350! Still have the wood base for the lathe, I just pulled out the wood to make a vise mount base like you have for your vises. But the rain came down Saturday so I had to cut short my project .
Hi Kent! We were missing you and your Mom! You are so right, when you are there you never see everything that is there! You need to really just concentrate on one table at a time! Jacktown July 20th!!!!!!
Right scout I’m going to be the one to say it Wear a mask I enjoy your rough charm and extensive knowledge of tools and ephemera but for old farts like us it’s a risk The tool swap looks like somewhere to lose yourself for hours and such a nice setting Best wishes
Hello Scoutcrafter, another great video. Thanks. Can you buy shaft extensions for the grinder/buffer? Also, in some future video could you discuss what tool names are considered rare? For example, I did not know Winchester was a rare plier. Thanks again.
I hope you grabbed that Stanley scraper plane and Jorgensen 3/0 or 2/0 hand screw. It’s not a good idea to oil grease style ball bearings. Replacement on most bench grinders is fairly easy.
Great MMM ScoutCrafter! I think there was a guy at the tool swap meet that kinda looked like me, maybe a little taller. Lol!! The tip using paper to build up the shaft diameter is gold!! I've been buying arbor spacers but won't anymore. The Winchester piers are really nice. How do they put the knurling on those type of handles?
Great video again wish we had a collectors group like that near me. I lost track of the video that you show how to regrind the tips of a set of pliers. Which video was that again?
Gonna have to find a swap meet like that here in Central Florida - everything I have been to over the years here has been straight off the boat from China :)
Hi Kathie! Yes!! Those were Steve's, they were Police issue from years ago... Funny story- Years ago when the police had to use those on someone they said they gave him a "wood shampoo" =D
Kathie, one in the same! They don't issue those anymore. They issue the Asp, extendable baton. We use nunchuka's where I work, great controlling tool and less injury with impact tools. We pull those out and our "clients" behave more, along with a red dot from a Taser.....
THANK YOU...for sharing. Wow, could I have spent some money at the Tool Club Meet, a lot of nice stuff on those tables? Any tool shows close to N.E. Ohio?
Gary, I think Ohio has the most tractor and steam shows of any state!!!!!!! Just do a google search of antique tractor show or Steam engine show and you will be amazed!!!
Well I never even thought about oiling sealed bearings. Makes total sense, thanks for that tip. Making a spacer out of paper, another valuable tip. How old would you say those pliers are? Just curious, Thanks again ScoutCrafter
Hi Mike! I believe Winchester produced tools from about 1920 - 1930 just a short time as manufacturing goes... =) Their are a lot of fakes out there now! Imagine that! =D
Are we supposed to post our videos (C-clamp) ON the 3rd, or before the third? Mine is done, just waiting till the 3rd to post. Super jealous that you have a place like that to go to. And what glorious weather!
From what I read, Winchester made tools from about 1920 to 1930. Now when they were getting into the tool market I don't know I they made all their own tools or had batches of different tools made for them? The prices were going so high that forgeries were made and sold... crazy!
Great video. You and Sneelock posted a video within an hour of each other. Nice! Thanks for the buffer tutorial. I noticed your machine says it's a "buffer." Does that mean you cannot use a wire wheel with it? Are the specs different than a bench grinder? Thanks for posting!
Hi Brian... Honestly they are just motors with long shafts. The RPM range makes this ideal for buffing where as a 1700 rpm range would be better for the wire wheel... =D For Grinding wheels you want a shorter shaft for less deflection.
@@ScoutCrafter Or as a great man once said, rigidity, rigidity, rigidity.
Před 5 lety
You hovered over the giant G clamps, did you buy them? Good tip with the buffer wheels, what is your take on the tapered screwed buffer arbours are they any good? As for the pliers they look usable you usually polish them so well I would be afraid to use them.
Hi Tony! LOL You saw me eyeballing those clamps! I like those older clamps... The guy selling is really a nice guy too who has great prices!! I didn't get them though, I was very good this show! =D Funny thing- I was happy the pliers were Winchester but disappointed at the same time because my hands were now tied! =D
Scoutcrafter i have a question for you, what is the diameter of your wire brush wheel wire. is the wire 0.30mm or 0.20mm in diameter. i usually only use the .030mm wire wheel for heave rusted pitted tools and only use 0.20mm for fine unpitted minimal rusted tools. 0.30mm brush wire wheel are the most common sold at shops here in Australia but the 0.20mm are harder to find is shops.
@@ScoutCrafter S.C... I just now found your reply.. I appreciate you looking for one of those bicycle wrenches for me... I've never seen one before, but I think I might keep an eye out for Estate sales.. If I find something really cool, I'll send you a picture of it.. And if u want it I'll pass it along to you... God Bless and take care...
I noticed you’re wearing an Invicta watch. I’m a huge Invicta and Rolex fan. I have a nice collection of Invicta watches. Awesome mish mosh. Still trying to come up with something for the clamp 🗜 challenge. Like a dummy I might have waited too long.
Cliff- You still have lots of time!!!!! =) Cliff- funny story about that watch! When Invicta was just getting started they were offering some great deals. This watch is 1 of 1000! (#762) It's got to be 20+ years old now but it has served me very well. =)
UK here. I look at the tools on display and think what they would fetch over here as some are rare in the UK. I wonder what tools I see all the time would be considered rare in the US of A?
@@ScoutCrafter lol I think there is money to be made! Shipping container ping pong!! Fill it up with UK trash. Send it over. Refill with USA trash. Send it over. Rinse repeat........
@@ScoutCrafter Yeah but I am in Arkansas. I am serious about wanting another one of those. Your Brown Kennedy machinist box might work fine too. I have a large SO KRL 1001 toolbox that has a stainless steel top, no top boxes. I have a lot of measuring devices I would love for the breadbox style. I guess I could buy a new one but I like the old ones much better. Edit: watching your channel has ruined my local tooltruck chances, I prefer finding something old and making it nice again than buying anything new. I spent a 3 day weekend repainting the first breadbox I bought. Tops and bottoms of all drawers, inside and out of the box. In red lacquer. 5 coats. A bad relationship destroyed it. My 14th wedding anniversary is the 3rd. Not bad this time!
Yes! However I prefer a slower speed motor (1800 rpm or less) for wire brushing. Most Wire Wheels are good for 3800 rpm. Always check the max rpm on wire wheels... The good part about slow motors is you can use larger wheels..
Hi Glenn, I think Charlie is pure Boston Terrier... The Brown/White coloring is a little rare as most are Black/White I think... I'm not 100% sure. Charlie is great because if you smile at him he greets you like a long lost friend!!! =D Thanks!!!!!
Hi: I have a cheep, small bench grinder,1/3 hp, 5" that lacks power. I have replaced the capacitor (could I use a larger capacitor to gain power?) and it still lacks power, I can stop it with my thumb. Any suggestions would help. By the way, it was given to me 40 years ago and at that time it did not have much power. Would replacing bushings help? I want to use it with a buffing wheel and wire brush.
Richard! I had that same problem with one or two of my buffer grinder motors. I wish I knew the problem... Now I need to get my old Craftsman rebuilt because it gets way too hot! I just bought this! czcams.com/video/GI4oTKqThJY/video.html
Hi scout we had spoken about screw drivers before how much do you pick up perfect handle screw drivers for and also would I be able to send you the money for one because I can't find any classic tools here in Delano
Hello Mangas, believe it or not eBay is one of the best places for vintage tools! The fact that 99% of the population has no desire for rusty tools gives us a real edge! A good price is usually between 5-10 dollars depending on condition! =D
Hi Cindi! I love both! I think the MMO has more cleaners in the oil. Now just to be clear, the 3in1 regular oil (Red container) is a little thinner viscosity then the 3in1 (Blue container) motor oil... One is 10w and the blue is 20w... Not a huge difference but motor manufacturers that have the oiling cups usually call for the 20w oil.... =) Thanks!
LOL That watch is close to 20 years old! I bought it from Shop NBC years back, its a special edition as there were only 1000 made! I think they still make it today with a Japanese movement.. =D Thanks!
Thanks for taking us to the show John -like like a lot of fun for sure. I once had a wobble develop in a wheel, but it was from the "slip on" type arbor on my (old washing machine) motor. I had it for years and then for some reason the hole inside started to work itself to be out of round. I never knew Winchester made pliers! Thanks for another great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi John, these videos really float my boat. Seeing what is at tool sales in various parts of the world really interests me and I don’t know why but I always get a bit of a kick out of seeing the same tools I have for sale on the other side of the world. At 0:45 you went past a little G clamp that is only about 2-2 1/2” opening but about 4” deep in the throat and I have picked up a few of those lately because I occasionally get a project where a G clamp isn’t deep enough and an F clamp with that depth of throat is just to big and bulky and a couple of those little camps have saved the day.

That’s great advice for all of us. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Hi Stuart! I was a little disappointed the pliers were "collectable" it meant I had to stop! =)
Thanks for showing the Hess truck. My grandfather bought 3 of them for me when I was little for a few birthdays. Those little trucks probably had 100k miles on them from driving from my bedroom to the den to play with them.
The tool show looked great.
Thanks for the video.
Hello Roy! The lights on the Hess Truck was a game changer for me... I would light that truck up in the dark and it was magic!!!! =D
That was an excellent tutorial on the buffing wheel. Many of us subscribers don’t have the knowledge or experience and it was very helpful. Thanks 👍
Hi Frank! I picked up some good tips along the way and I am just passing them along! LOL Thanks!!!
Thank you for the buffing wheel lesson. That paper bushing is brilliant! I have a couple of wheels that are oversized so now I know what to do about it. I, too, saw you pause over the large clamps. Surprised they didn't come home with you. Love the tour of the flea market. 😀
The only thing about those clamps is they don't close all the way! The threaded rod is very short! =)
That tool show looks so fun. Great tip on the arbor sizing. Cheers
Those Winchester Pliers have awesome handles with that knurled texture on them, plus nice and wide.

Great tool collector's organization you have up there. Thanks for the tips on cleaning and balancing the wheels on your motorized polisher/grinders and the bearing lubrication trick. Many people don't realize that 3-in-1 Oil is an excellent shop lubricant, and is actually relatively inexpensive if you buy the bigger sizes.

You are so right! 3in1 has a whole new line of lubricants that are wonderful! The Red 3in1 is about a 10w and I use it all the time! This Blue 3in1 is a 20w and is what most motors call for as a lubrication! WD40 is a great cleaner! =D Thanks!!!!!!
ScoutCrafter And thank you. I'll get some of the Blue 3-in-1 asap.
I wish we had such a beautiful place to shear these great old tools we are starting to see more and more American made tools on our shelves with the changing important laws so good to see.

When I don't go to the tool swap, there is stuff I want to buy. But when I'm there is barely anything catches my eye haha.
Neat didn't know Winchester had lineman pliers!
2:45 I had a pair of those lathe legs sold them to a industrial furniture builder for $350! Still have the wood base for the lathe, I just pulled out the wood to make a vise mount base like you have for your vises. But the rain came down Saturday so I had to cut short my project .
Hi Kent! We were missing you and your Mom! You are so right, when you are there you never see everything that is there! You need to really just concentrate on one table at a time! Jacktown July 20th!!!!!!
Great score on the Winchester pliers. Now if you need to do some wiring on a lever action you're all set.
LOL!!!!!!! I hate having my hands tied on a restoration! I would like them better if they had no name!
Right scout I’m going to be the one to say it
Wear a mask I enjoy your rough charm and extensive knowledge of tools and ephemera but for old farts like us it’s a risk
The tool swap looks like somewhere to lose yourself for hours and such a nice setting
Best wishes
Hello Scoutcrafter, another great video. Thanks. Can you buy shaft extensions for the grinder/buffer? Also, in some future video could you discuss what tool names are considered rare? For example, I did not know Winchester was a rare plier. Thanks again.
Cool pliers
Thanks Scout!!
3 inOne is great for everything.
Good job 👍
Never new Winchester made tools awesome Scout
Hi Wayne! Yes! They also made other items during the war! =D
@@ScoutCrafter cool didn't know that thanks
..another great vid of rarely seen tools..early bird gets the good tools..lol
You are so right! =D
Very nice
NICE SCORE. HAVE A NICE 4th
Thanks Mike! You too!
I imagine it was hard to leave that show with anything left in your bank account!
LOL Chris- I was so good! Only spent $20!!!!! =D
I hope you grabbed that Stanley scraper plane and Jorgensen 3/0 or 2/0 hand screw.
It’s not a good idea to oil grease style ball bearings. Replacement on most bench grinders is fairly easy.
I could justify buying a truckload of tools every meeting! I was super good only spending $20!
Man, the hammers. 🔨
thanks for saw tip
Great MMM ScoutCrafter! I think there was a guy at the tool swap meet that kinda looked like me, maybe a little taller. Lol!! The tip using paper to build up the shaft diameter is gold!! I've been buying arbor spacers but won't anymore. The Winchester piers are really nice. How do they put the knurling on those type of handles?
Hi Steve! People will always recognize you from the beard but if you shave it all bets are off! LOL We are going to Jacktown on the 20th!!!!! =D
Great video again wish we had a collectors group like that near me. I lost track of the video that you show how to regrind the tips of a set of pliers. Which video was that again?
Hi Abe! Utica 254 Re-Grind czcams.com/video/F2uGKWdyB9Y/video.html It was an excellent video! LOL I just watched it again! =P Thanks!!!!
Gonna have to find a swap meet like that here in Central Florida - everything I have been to over the years here has been straight off the boat from China :)
Florida Flywheelers has a show and swap meet...www.floridaflywheelers.org/
Steve! CalPilOt is spot on!
@@CalPil0t - Great stuff, only a couple of hours from me. I will have to head down there! Thanks!
I've been meaning to ask you to do a little schpeel on grinding wheel setup. My son is a Scoutcrafter guru and is setting up his own restore shop.
Hi Christina! What a great hobby to get into! Soon they will be back to school! =D
Are those a couple of billy clubs like the police carry at 2:51? Are those on hand in case some guys start fighting over a rare tool? - Kathie
Hi Kathie! Yes!! Those were Steve's, they were Police issue from years ago... Funny story- Years ago when the police had to use those on someone they said they gave him a "wood shampoo" =D
Kathie, one in the same! They don't issue those anymore. They issue the Asp, extendable baton. We use nunchuka's where I work, great controlling tool and less injury with impact tools. We pull those out and our "clients" behave more, along with a red dot from a Taser.....
THANK YOU...for sharing. Wow, could I have spent some money at the Tool Club Meet, a lot of nice stuff on those tables? Any tool shows close to N.E. Ohio?
Gary, I think Ohio has the most tractor and steam shows of any state!!!!!!! Just do a google search of antique tractor show or Steam engine show and you will be amazed!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Yes we have one coming up the 5-6 this month. I plan on going but the East coast states seem to have all the good older stuff.
man that tool show i would have went broke lol i would of liked to of had almost every thing there like them hand planes
Well I never even thought about oiling sealed bearings. Makes total sense, thanks for that tip. Making a spacer out of paper, another valuable tip. How old would you say those pliers are? Just curious, Thanks again ScoutCrafter
Hi Mike! I believe Winchester produced tools from about 1920 - 1930 just a short time as manufacturing goes... =) Their are a lot of fakes out there now! Imagine that! =D
@@ScoutCrafter People will fake anything! Thanks for the reply🛠😎
Are we supposed to post our videos (C-clamp) ON the 3rd, or before the third? Mine is done, just waiting till the 3rd to post.
Super jealous that you have a place like that to go to. And what glorious weather!
Hi Ben! We post on Wednesday! (the 3rd) I will post all the pics I received then too, in my video! Awesome!
That tool club looks great! I just picked up a Winchester ball pein hammer this weekend! Were they made by the firearms manufacturer?
From what I read, Winchester made tools from about 1920 to 1930. Now when they were getting into the tool market I don't know I they made all their own tools or had batches of different tools made for them? The prices were going so high that forgeries were made and sold... crazy!
Interesting. Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work!
Great video. You and Sneelock posted a video within an hour of each other. Nice! Thanks for the buffer tutorial. I noticed your machine says it's a "buffer." Does that mean you cannot use a wire wheel with it? Are the specs different than a bench grinder? Thanks for posting!
Hi Brian... Honestly they are just motors with long shafts. The RPM range makes this ideal for buffing where as a 1700 rpm range would be better for the wire wheel... =D For Grinding wheels you want a shorter shaft for less deflection.
@@ScoutCrafter Or as a great man once said, rigidity, rigidity, rigidity.
You hovered over the giant G clamps, did you buy them? Good tip with the buffer wheels, what is your take on the tapered screwed buffer arbours are they any good? As for the pliers they look usable you usually polish them so well I would be afraid to use them.
Hi Tony! LOL You saw me eyeballing those clamps! I like those older clamps... The guy selling is really a nice guy too who has great prices!! I didn't get them though, I was very good this show! =D Funny thing- I was happy the pliers were Winchester but disappointed at the same time because my hands were now tied! =D
Scoutcrafter i have a question for you, what is the diameter of your wire brush wheel wire. is the wire 0.30mm or 0.20mm in diameter. i usually only use the .030mm wire wheel for heave rusted pitted tools and only use 0.20mm for fine unpitted minimal rusted tools. 0.30mm brush wire wheel are the most common sold at shops here in Australia but the 0.20mm are harder to find is shops.
S.C. the next time you go keep an eye out for one of those cool bicycle wrenches... I'll pay u for it.. I can't find one anywhere... Gary
Hi Gary- Jacktown Pa. July 20th is the place they multiply! I will keep an eye out!!
@@ScoutCrafter S.C... I just now found your reply.. I appreciate you looking for one of those bicycle wrenches for me... I've never seen one before, but I think I might keep an eye out for Estate sales.. If I find something really cool, I'll send you a picture of it.. And if u want it I'll pass it along to you... God Bless and take care...
I noticed you’re wearing an Invicta watch. I’m a huge Invicta and Rolex fan. I have a nice collection of Invicta watches. Awesome mish mosh. Still trying to come up with something for the clamp 🗜 challenge. Like a dummy I might have waited too long.
Cliff- You still have lots of time!!!!! =) Cliff- funny story about that watch! When Invicta was just getting started they were offering some great deals. This watch is 1 of 1000! (#762) It's got to be 20+ years old now but it has served me very well. =)
UK here. I look at the tools on display and think what they would fetch over here as some are rare in the UK. I wonder what tools I see all the time would be considered rare in the US of A?
That is so true! How so many tools never made it over here or over there!
@@ScoutCrafter lol I think there is money to be made! Shipping container ping pong!! Fill it up with UK trash. Send it over. Refill with USA trash. Send it over. Rinse repeat........
Wow only a buck. Sure beats the prices on ebay.
Plus no shipping! LOL You know eBay now charges tax in my state on every purchase!
I have not had time to do one sorry brother
Is the old Snap On breadbox style tool box still available? I had one like that once, been looking for another for 20 years!
The next LI show is in September.. =)
@@ScoutCrafter
Yeah but I am in Arkansas. I am serious about wanting another one of those. Your Brown Kennedy machinist box might work fine too. I have a large SO KRL 1001 toolbox that has a stainless steel top, no top boxes. I have a lot of measuring devices I would love for the breadbox style. I guess I could buy a new one but I like the old ones much better. Edit: watching your channel has ruined my local tooltruck chances, I prefer finding something old and making it nice again than buying anything new. I spent a 3 day weekend repainting the first breadbox I bought. Tops and bottoms of all drawers, inside and out of the box. In red lacquer. 5 coats. A bad relationship destroyed it. My 14th wedding anniversary is the 3rd. Not bad this time!
Hi ScoutCrafter
What kind of buffing wheels do you use?
Hi scout can you use a wire wheel on this tipe of machine you have here or is it only for buffer wheels?
Yes! However I prefer a slower speed motor (1800 rpm or less) for wire brushing. Most Wire Wheels are good for 3800 rpm. Always check the max rpm on wire wheels... The good part about slow motors is you can use larger wheels..
@@ScoutCrafter ok great info thank you.
What did you say that you use to free up sticking lineman players was it transmission fluid and what else didn't get the other ingredients
The 50/50 mix is Acetone and ATF, then WD-40 to get out the dirt! Finish up with 3in1 oil... -=)
Is Charlie a mixed Boston Terrier? If so do you know what the other breed is? He is such a good looking 🐕
Hi Glenn, I think Charlie is pure Boston Terrier... The Brown/White coloring is a little rare as most are Black/White I think... I'm not 100% sure. Charlie is great because if you smile at him he greets you like a long lost friend!!! =D Thanks!!!!!
Hi: I have a cheep, small bench grinder,1/3 hp, 5" that lacks power. I have replaced the capacitor (could I use a larger capacitor to gain power?) and it still lacks power, I can stop it with my thumb. Any suggestions would help. By the way, it was given to me 40 years ago and at that time it did not have much power. Would replacing bushings help? I want to use it with a buffing wheel and wire brush.
I forgot to say thank you.
Richard! I had that same problem with one or two of my buffer grinder motors. I wish I knew the problem... Now I need to get my old Craftsman rebuilt because it gets way too hot! I just bought this! czcams.com/video/GI4oTKqThJY/video.html
How many pliers do you have? Ever took family pic?
Hi scout we had spoken about screw drivers before how much do you pick up perfect handle screw drivers for and also would I be able to send you the money for one because I can't find any classic tools here in Delano
Hello Mangas, believe it or not eBay is one of the best places for vintage tools! The fact that 99% of the population has no desire for rusty tools gives us a real edge! A good price is usually between 5-10 dollars depending on condition! =D
@@ScoutCrafter thank you very much sir love the videos keep up the great work
INVICTA WATCH I OWN A COUPLE OF THEM MYSELF
They are really worth every penny!
Is 3 in 1 oil better than marvel mystery oil?
Hi Cindi! I love both! I think the MMO has more cleaners in the oil. Now just to be clear, the 3in1 regular oil (Red container) is a little thinner viscosity then the 3in1 (Blue container) motor oil... One is 10w and the blue is 20w... Not a huge difference but motor manufacturers that have the oiling cups usually call for the 20w oil.... =) Thanks!
If I send you $100 bucks will you get that Snap on Box for me? And how much was that vice? I want the huge Clamp!!!
oooooh...whazat over there?
Send photos tomorrow when I finish
LOL Larry, whenever there is a long time to complete a job we always finish up at the last minute! =D
New watch ? ;-)
LOL That watch is close to 20 years old! I bought it from Shop NBC years back, its a special edition as there were only 1000 made! I think they still make it today with a Japanese movement.. =D Thanks!
Sun of a bitch that's right around to he corner from me.
Is that Rolex watch ?
Ur missing out on my last video is uploaded .
Invicta... They are a working mans watch! =D
