Antique Millers Falls 676 Screwdriver Restoration

[@MrHeadbanger366]

I actually like the old screwdrivers better with wooden handles. This one came out great. Thumbs up to your man Mark for keeping up the good fight. That is a real man.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello MrHeadbanger! You know the wooden screwdrivers are still popular in the aviation industry! Thanks very much!!! 😃👍

[@darrinlawton2748]

Talk about turning a sows ear into a silk purse.....what an amazing transformation.....cheers mate.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Darrin! You know there is something personal about screwdrivers, we all love them! They are among the first tools we learn to use... Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@easttexasnomad5981]

That takes me way back. My next door neighbor had a Millers Falls hammer that was his prized possession. That was probably 50 years ago. Great Restoration Scout.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello ETN! I have quite a few Millers Falls tools and every one of them is awesome! They were really top of their game!!! Thanks very much!!!!!!

[@mardeeda]

I have a thing for M&F their punches, screw drivers, block planes, spokeshaves. This is an absolute classic you hit this out of the park SC.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Daniel! You have awesome taste! Millers Falls is one of the best tool companies ever!!! My favorite series was the Buck Rogers series!!! =D Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@carbidejones5076]

He Scout, you made a few comments over time that leads me to believe the Mrs. is into sewing machines, would offer to you parts and machines at sane prices, just to be nice and preserve technical history. You have given so much , would like to give back

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Carbide! I have always been fascinated by sewing machines I have a couple but one of our fellow Subscribers "Jill" is a real collector and we have had conversations about how excellent Singer was as a company and the products they made! Are you a collector? They are such a great part of history!

[@carbidejones5076]

@@ScoutCrafter yes, many examples

You said you are not a fan of wooden handles on tools but before the 1970's and plastics, wood is all we had. More comfortable than plain metal. That screw driver brings back memories and turned out very nice indeed. Most screwdrivers of that era were wood working ones with pear shaped handles, that one is an engineers one with the tang going to the end so that you can hit it with a mallet. The large pear shaped screwdrivers were expensive but you got a lot of torque on them.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Tony! As a collector I like the wood handles but anytime there is wood coupled with metal the wood always gets banged up or damaged... I prefer materials that are composite and aren't effected by moisture or humidity. If you look at all the vintage tools from years back the wood is always the problem, cracked, dented, dinged, split, worn... When I restore them I keep them separate so they don't get damaged. They still use Wood screwdrivers in the aerospace and aviation industry! The wood handles are good against transmitting heat! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@62forged]

Millers Falls made some great tools. Neat restoration!

[@parlenkow]

Hello my friend. I m here again. To coment this video, every day after work I'm check the channel to see what a new Restoration from scout Crafter, very interesting work with. The lathe machine and I think the work marks close to the manufacturer name make more personality to the screw driver because is. A part of his history, the paint looks awesome!!! Good job friend!!!

[@birdie399]

That tool looks like the King of Screwdrivers. Really fine restoration. Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello birdie! Thanks so much! I always loved Millers Falls Tools! 😃👍

[@helpinghandremodeling3755]

What a transformation! Simple but wow what a great finished product. The chrome against that red. Very nice!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Bernie! Those older Miller Falls tools were just so beautiful! I always was a fan! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carver3419]

Really nice restoration ... It pays to have some longer screwdrivers on hand. Over the years, they've come in handy more than I would have imagined. I have some older Millers Falls tools and they were made as good as any on the market.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Carver! You are so right! Millers Falls is one company that never let you down, Like Goodell Pratt! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap! That turned out amazing! Great job. Love your videos. Lots to learn from u. 😀👍🇺🇸

It was neglected and abuse. You rescued it. Nice job, nice screwdriver. Thanks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Juan!!! If only this Screwdriver could talk about it’s last 60 years!!! 😃👍. Thanks very much!!!!

[@alexstools]

Turned out good. Definately worth the restoration as far as I'm concerned, brought the tool back to life, gave us something nice to watch and most important it is out of your system.

[@zartan7779]

I have been subscribed to wireworks for a while . I like his videos

[@jimjohnston3188]

Out in my backyard I have a shed that we use to store a lawnmower, snowblower, various gardening tools. In addition I have a couple of old beat up rusty screwdrivers that I basically don't care about, and have suffered years of abuse. Well they are exactly the same kind of screwdrivers you have been restoring. Now I realize they deserve a better fate. So I'll bring them in and fix em up as best as I can. Only problem is I don't now have any beat up rusty screwdrivers in the shed when I need one. I guess I better get to Harbor Freight four a replacement!!!!!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Jim! You are so right! I have a bunch of Harbor Freight screwdrivers that I will bang on, pry with and use as scrapers!!!!! I also have some older Stanley 100's that are too hard to restore I will use for dirty work like clearing plumbing fixtures and sewer blockage... However it's nice to be able to bring these older American icons back to their original beauty! =) Good call Jim!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@Titanykus]

If there is a Doctor Love you are truly the Doctor Tool! WoW what a talent you have brother!

[@geraldschrader8511]

That's the best $1 tool I've ever seen. Can't believe you passed it up the first time around! Great job as usual.

[@johanallers7063]

That is a great job! Beautifull screwdriver. I use a Miller's Falls lathe from 1963. Renovated a screwdriver as well after seeing someone on KZbin doing it. It has an unusual handle. On top of usual looking handle there is a knob. Enjoy your hobby!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Johan! WOW! A Millers Falls lathe!?! Is it electric? I never seen one that wasn't treadle operated! I love Millers Falls products! Great stuff! Thanks so much!

[@johanallers7063]

Yes it is electric. I have the original brochure and it show that an electric hand drill was used or a motor.

[@troyschuller671]

Just a beautiful refurbish on the screwdriver Scout. Pretty

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks Troy!!!!!!

[@progressiveprepper6553]

I love Miller's Falls tools. Very good quality. This looks really nice! Well worth the effort I would say

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello PP! If I could only collect one tool brand it would be Millers Falls! Followed by early Stanley! Thanks so much!!!!

[@elevatorproductionsbymaxpassa]

Millers Falls Tools were made in Greenfield, MA!!!

[@drstrangefart]

Having your own metal lathe at your disposal has GOTTA be awesome. I'm planning on adding one when I can afford it so I can do dumb stuff like turn damascus steel pens.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Allan! Damascus pens! Wow! I've made a ton of pens out of everything from Aluminum to Zebra wood and now I am a pencil man!!!! =D Thanks Allan!!!!!!!!

[@drstrangefart]

That would be a Slimline pencil kit modified into a one piece. Man that would be nice.

[@drstrangefart]

I've turned somewhere around 300 pens, maybe more. Resin, wood, and improvised materials but nothing in metal.

[@joem5239]

Hey Scout, I just wanted to thank you for recommending other restoration channels. You're helping them with viewership and us viewers with great content. Match maid in Heaven!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Joe! It's very easy to get swallowed up in such a huge place like KZbin! I too enjoy watching restoration videos and matching videos.. I'm so glad we have so many great channels out here to watch! Thanks so much for your continued support! =)

[@Dardrum]

Excellent job Scout and a nice screw driver to boot.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Dale! Millers Falls didn't just make great tools, they really put the extra effort into every design so they were not only functional but beautiful to look at too!! Thanks so much!!!

[@altonriggs2352]

Quality and pride of workmanship were hiding right under the rust and dirt. Great job of revealing that.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Vernon! Yes! This was truly a diamond in the rough! It's amazing what is waiting to be revealed! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@samuellacosta4025]

I love that handle color. Very awesome.

[@christinaperez254]

I'm so glad you went back to find and claim this piece! You're right that it's hard to find the longer screwdrivers in decent straight condition. The temptation is just too strong to use them as pry bars, I guess. Great work on the lathe and on making that dingy handle look money!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Christina! You're so right, a 50+ year old screwdriver that is 16" long and still straight?!?! How did that happen!? LOL Those Tap-Caps on the back are usually an invitation for someone to use it as a chisel! This really was a hidden gem under years of "patina" lol Happy Halloween!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@StavrosGakos]

Beautiful tool! Thanks for sharing

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Stavros Gakos!!! Millers Falls always pit extra thought into all their tools- They were all beautiful! Thanks very much!!!

[@tonyholt90]

Yep you done another excellent restoration !

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much Tony! Millers Falls was just the cream of the crop of tools!

[@tmgallday1]

The stain on that handle is absolutly beautiful. Im im love with wood handle tools. My tool bag i use at work everyday has Felo woodhandle screw driver set and some old mosc wood handle screwdrivers. Use em everyday. Now the Felo drivers are new manufactured tools, but they are a beachnut wood i believe. Made in Germany, very nice tools

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Kevin! Most wooden handle screwdrivers are still used in the Aviation industry! Lots of people prefer them! It all depends on why type work you do... I worked in a Bus facility and the mechanics tools there were filthy! Drove me nuts!!! LOL Thanks so much!

[@tmgallday1]

@@ScoutCrafter they can deffinitly get filthy, but when it comes to gripping the screwdriver, wood handle beats em all.. Oil, grease, water, chemicals, ect are no match for wood handles. Anyways, beautiful job Scout, I love this one!

Miller Falls top of the line tools in the old days. Have several sets of the wood handle screwdrivers., great stuff. Where I worked plastic handles did not hold up, Wood was great or metal handles that were made up in shop after hour's. The famous G job! Miller falls had a large line of top grade tools. Supper stuff and its great to see red again. Thanks.

[@leebrewer1190]

Wow! What a difference! Reminds me of the poem entitled "The Touch of The Master's Hand." Only a master would have thought of the lathe! Thanks again for all of the help and advice with the C-Clamp Scout. Going to show it to my dad soon and excited about it. As to thwther it was worth the time and effort on this screwdriver - most certainly. Its a piece of Americana, if it could talk, I am sure would tell some amazing stories - plus the education we all get by your channel has turned it into an amazing object lesson that likely will inspire other such tools to have the same done to them. As always - great job! Checking out Wire Works now.

Hello Lee! To be honest, you picked a tough project there to start with! 😃. I think a nice Auto Wrench would be a fun next project for you! 😃👍. Thanks very much!!!!

[@artsietopology]

Scout, that work you did with the lathe is amazing. I never would have thought of using a lathe to get rid of the bad spots on the part that I assume is sheet metal. - Kathie

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Kathie! Those little ferrules are just stamped out steel cones that cover the end of the wood handle to prevent splitting from the side forces of the shank. On the cheap asian knock-off screwdrivers they are paper thin and tend to get dented and look crapy, the older, well made screwdrivers and chisels had were very thick and well made! They didn't skimp of material! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tron! You know, years back they restored the ceiling Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo, over the years the soot from oil lamps and candles left a brown film over the entire ceiling. It took years to remove the "patina" using toothbrushes and special solvents... When finished it looked just like it did when Michelangelo painted it... Awesome!!!! However don't you know there were "critics" complaining it should have been left brown! For the life of me I can't figure some people out... LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!!!!!
