Awesome Acquisitions, Found Treasures Mega Mosh!

Ooooops- I screwed up on the schematic! The neutral bypasses the amp gauge and goes to the outlets the Hot goes to the amp gauge only! Sorry about that and thanks to JC for catching my mistake. 🫣👍

Too late, 3 guys already got electrocuted.

I saw the mistake and figured before I commented I should check the comments. Hey, we all make mistakes, the honest are strong enough to admit it.

My mother had a Singer sewing machine like that in a cabinet. My father bought it for her right after he mustered out of the navy after WWII. She used it all the time to make pillow cases from flour sacks. She still had it when she passed and it now resides with a niece who still uses it. They don't make them like that anymore!

You gotta star wearing that welding helmet on your night time walks!

[@ulrichpfisterer6832]

Dear SC, the Voltmeter is installed correctly, but the Amperage meter should see all the current going right through it and not be connected to N at all. Greetings from 🇩🇪

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

You did the right thing with the Singer but then again, I’m a chronic, perpetual and habitual hoarder. It’s worth saving.

[@mrbenmall]

Those pliers came out wonderfully. No one can flap disc facets better than you!

[@JG-rj4ly]

Hi SC, Your amperage meter is going to cause a short if connected between L and N.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Holy cow! You’re right! I have to re- draw it! I don’t know what I drew the neutral going there! 🫣. Thanks!!!

Singer sewing machine with its cabinet - mama mia!!

[@joeheilm]

No joke, was just in the shop putting away some tools and i came across another marketing screwdriver and i put it in my "to do" bucket...then i see this video...what are the odds? I would have had to take the sewing machine, the welded wire in my chicken coop keeps ripping my shirts 😂. Great mosh! Cheers

[@ScoutCrafter]

Joe- It made me nostalgic for the early days when we were doing fun stuff on KZbin. 😃👍

[@alansmith4734]

I saw a picture today, that might amuse you? It was a Metal Wall Fire Box, with a glass front that said "Break In Case of Fire". Inside was a stick with a marshmallow stuck on the end!

😂😂😂👍

[@cheekymonkey444]

That welding helmet might be a Fiber Metal Products brand. When I was a kid, Youngs Hardware had an accounting office in the rear of the building. You were able to pay your gas, electric, and water bill there. My parents would write a check and I rode my bicycle there to pay the bill.

[@setdown2]

My Mon had an old singer machine like that ...i remember to make it sew she would push a lever to the side with her left knee...made all my Halloween get ups...late 50es...such a time it was no war just families raising their kids...🖖

[@rawbacon]

Old Sewing Machines are Beautifully made Machinery, 100% always take 'em.............I knew what it was right away because my Grandmother had one just like that sitting in the corner of her living room, used as a lamp table most of the time but take the lamp off, flip it open and you're sewing away.

[@michaelwojo14]

John the Winchester screwdriver I think you should paint the handle transparent Scoutcrafter red. When they cleaned out my mother in law’s house they threw out 4 singer sewing machines like that

[@ScoutCrafter]

I was thinking transparent Green! 😃👍

[@michaelowens7151]

The Winchester screwdriver just aided me in identifying one that I have that is the same but under some corrision. And those pliers, wow, 33 cents, the only way to beat that is have someone say “hey, how about I give you these pliers and several more”……

[@crr8297]

The Singer sewing machine looks like a model 201, they are still desirable today because of the rotary hook design and they look nice cleaned up and showing off the pin stripping and graphic designs. Everyone needs a sewing machine and a lathe LOL

[@dorey1985]

Love how the Winchester screwdriver looks like a brass cartridge. Great show as usual

[@aduncan4041]

Hi John. The helmet. Lincoln Electric . Ohio. They produced a comprehensive welding manual.

[@jimjohnston7688]

There is just something about a wood handled screwdriver that feels so right.

[@greghomestead8366]

Best 33 cents spent on the pliers. They look awesome Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I have been curious but never found a solid guide for Stanley screwdrivers. They said Hurwood on the ones that were black paint or tar-like. It’s not a wood I could find but I realized it could be the model or namesake for the design. Could not make a good guess on wood species on yours. Winchester worked with Simmons Hardware before and during the Great Depression. They possibly weathered the economic downturn better because people didn’t have extra money for a Winchester weapon but they could buy pliers and screwdrivers.

[@johnkelley9877]

Yes! You should have taken the sewing machine. If anyone can restore it you can and it is saving a piece of history. Excellent Mosh today. Thanks for sharing this.

[@marcmckenzie5110]

John, a few years ago I restored an identical set of those pliers which are still in use and still beautiful. I’ve learned so much from you over the years, and I was just blown away by that welding hood. I never knew Abraham Lincoln was a welder! Old tools are the best. 👨🏼‍🏭🧰

[@tomdale1313]

My "Favorite" is the show itself, always drama-free and very healthy for the soul, as well its full of great useful info, tanks for sharing...

[@edwardmartin3069]

Yes, you should have taken the sewing machine. Those little motors are really handy, sturdy, and will run forever with a bit of care. Also, the cabinet has some quality hardware on it. Nice job on the Winchester screwdriver. I have a 7130-8 inch screwdriver that is the pride of my collection. The handle is fluted and does not have the steel cap on the back. It appears to be a walnut-colored stain. After seeing how well yours turned out I will have to clean up mine.

[@sebglayburg5163]

Beautiful Winchester screwdriver! All restos to this one turned out great.

[@stevea1217]

I recognized the sewing machine, my mother had one very similar, and taught me how to use it about 70 years ago, thanks for a nice bit of nostalgia!

[@Themechanic1]

Loved the drill but the sewing machine that's the best score

[@jackthompson2132]

Those 33c kreuter pliers are great. Can’t wait to see what you do with that drill. Great show again today John! Thank You for sharing!

[@57WillysCJ]

That wire diagram reminds me of the ones we did in high school although we had symbles for everything. I would grabbed the fan as they are always needed. If nothing else clean it, get it working then give it to a charity. Beats going to a land fill. That Singer is a nice unit that will work forever if kept oiled. Both of my commercial machine are old Singers. They were built to handle heavy material commonly used by farmers.

[@Craig6519]

Really like the look of the Thor drill.

[@alanstringer61]

The drill is right out of a Flash Gordon movie...😂

Hi John. You are a breth of fresh air in this crazy world now days .when I was younger when things broke I would fix them. Out of necessity. Anything that could be fixed. From cars to tools and appliances. Not so much anymore. Hands are a bit to shakey. Keep up the good work. 🙏👍❤..

[@andyc972]

Hah, Thread cutter and rope, I knew it, I'd be interested to hear more on refurbishing the rope I have some of my fathers, I wish I had his rope skills ! I'm a sucker for boxes of hardware too, they always come in useful sometime, and those rivets were a bargain. That Winchester s/d came out beautiful, I tend towards dark handles but mainly as it covers any staining and sets off the brass so well, as soon as I hear the name Winchester I immediately think of Jimmy Stewart and smile ! The Kraeuters were an amazing bargain, they looked a bit rough, but underneath they're barely used. As for the Thor drill, such a great casting that's going to look great when it's cleaned up, seemed to run well enough too, glad you didn't get fried !

[@corymcgrath5652]

I knew what is there straight away. The machine cabinets were once very common up my way. You don't see too many of them anymore. Family heirlooms now more or less. You have enough drills, make that steam punk Ray gun. Might be a fun project.

[@timeflysintheshop]

I am quite sure that bell is going to ring rapidly, not a single hit. The spring loaded bit has one of the conductors to it so it will electrify the magnet (solenoid) and when it moves, it will break the circuit, and the the spring will move it back to make contact, over and over. As long as there is current to the wires, it is going to make a wonderful racket! 😁👍

[@nicknicoletti9778]

I really liked how the Remington screwdriver came out. I’m a screwdriver guy myself. What a beautiful tool. The pliers also were beautiful! And I guessed the sewing machine right! My grandmother had one very similar. What a great project for someone to fix up.

You mean the Winchester screw driver ..yes...

[@nicknicoletti9778]

Lol. Winchester / Remington. Where’s my brain. Thanks for the correction.

That Winchester screw driver looks great. Pliers wow.

[@OldSneelock]

I welded a good many years with one of those helmets. My current welding helmet is an electronic lens rig. I'm not a luddite. 😁😎 Dad gave me a Thor drill motor that they were tossing at the foundry. One bar on the commutator is dead so I occasionally have to spin it to start the drill. My singer that I use cost me $15.00. Now they are going for $100.00 or more. I won't sell mine. The mechanical linkages are strong enough to punch through two sheets of leather. The new one I bought for Lydia has plastic gears. It was a lot more than $15.00. 😁😎

[@Ricopolico]

I once renewed a Thor 1/2 " drill motor for my hero, Eddie Stan (Stanislawczyk). He insisted on a new cord, although it really didn't need one. 50-years-old and it would still wring off your arm.

Thank goodness you stopped buying tools John... And I would have jumped on that sewing machine... I find old sewing machines to be so cool..

I have a Thor 1/4” electric drill that was my father in law’s. It doesn’t run, but I always wanted to get it repaired so that my grandson would get a piece of history. My father in law was a licensed plumber, so the drill probably was in his hand quite a bit.

Great video.... Great old Thor drill . Those old electric drills are one of my favorite tools.. Have a couple Mall drills myself. Old corded power tools usually go cheap at estate sales. They always work and just need a new cord and a clean up.

[@bobhart1155]

Wow, super score with that sewing machine! Singer's factory was right here in central NJ (Port Elizabeth). Many of the metal working tools I use came from there when they closed and auctioned off the contents back in '83. Great sale but sad to see a legend like Singer close its Elizabeth plant.
