Bench Grinder 101 and Westinghouse Monster Bulb!

[@ddblairco]

WONDERFUL, your production skills are second to none. put a smile on my face and I laughed out loud. thank you for BRIGHTENING my day.

[@matthewhopkins666]

The neighbours are like "There's that crazy John signalling to the aliens again". 👽

[@rgaborjr]

You’re the best you-tuber out there. Love the shows. Love to learn and share in the fun. Thank you!

[@michaelowens7151]

Bon-Ami stopped making any liquid products in 2014 but they still make their famous 1886 Formula cleaner which contains feldspar and tallow. It’s great for mirrors and glass, but only on older auto glass or windows without coatings. Used as a light paste you can clean or polish just about any smooth surface. It used to come in a “bar” form but now only as a powder; however it works the same. If not available locally it’s no doubt on Amazon or on a web search. Like that 1500 Watt Bulb, great stuff!

[@Ricopolico]

Gotta thank you, Scout. I'm to the age where I don't hop to it for any task. So, I was working on a car in the drive and when I had to get up, I rolled out from under the car, but I stopped and lay in the grass on my back and, with you in mind, I looked at the sky for a few minutes. It had been so long, I had forgotten the simple pleasure of looking at the sky.

[@ScoutCrafter]

A bright blue sky with white puffy clouds all around and hidden shapes in all of them. Singing birds in the background... Life is good!

[@metrofarmer913]

Having been a safety inspector, I commend you for discussing the importance of the guards and wearing eye and face protection. Always better than squinting.

[@LionheartRacingSeries]

Absolutely love your videos. Love your creativity and all the cool things your into. Thanks for sharing your stories about you and your family. Such great content. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@johnkelley9877]

The ending was neat! I learned a lot about the bench grinders and the information was very helpful. This was a great Friday night tutorial! Thanks for sharing this.

[@JohnDaker_singer]

Wow!!!! One of my top ten Scoutcrafter videos! Thanks for the laughs and the knowledge.

[@JohnDaker_singer]

My favorite is the one where you go to the tool show and you have a buddy say “Hey Scoutcrafter……you suck!!!”. I love self-deprecating humor. No one is above it.

[@357magdad]

It's alive!! Nice! I always keep an eye out for steel wool and sandpaper at yard sales.

[@Resto-Rob]

Great information about the dressing tool. Fantastic demonstration / presentation of that bulb. I loved the mad scientist!

[@stevef8993]

You really crack me up John!! Love the Frankenstein reenactment! That’s one big bulb.

[@davidcoats1037]

Operator: “911 what’s your emergency”? Neighbor: “It’s Scoutcrafter again. I think he’s really lost it this time. He has invented a tiny sun. Send help immediately”! 😆🤣😂

[@Traderjoe]

When you were saying you were going to dress the wheel and then flashed a picture of a Norton stone, my mind couldn’t help but say Hello Wheel!

[@alexkay1874]

You have more fun than People . Good Show Thanks SC

[@2dividedby3equals666]

This is what I call entertainment!! First class stuff John, thanks for the laugh!!!

[@paulsworkshop4179]

You remind me of Doc Brown. That is a cool bulb. Your neighbors must love you.

[@cradd00]

1000 watts! Wow, I've never seen a bulb that big! A cool story about the variac, Eddie Van Halen used to power his guitar amps with a variac. He would under power the vacuum tubes to get a unique distortion sound. For a long time nobody could figure out how he got his "brown" sound.

[@TomGunnTools]

John the end was outstanding! Great work!

[@lotsabirds]

That explains all those UFOs lately! I wonder how many pilots coming into LaGuardia or Kennedy saw that thing?? I think I saw the Jones Beach tower during the lifeguard story. I can't tell you how many times I drove passed it. Great video, John! Don't ever lose that kid that's inside you!!!

[@chuckmays3857]

Very entertaining way to kick off the weekend. The large light bulb reminds me of the ones my father would bring home from working at the power company (rotated or bad street light bulbs) by the case. We would take them down to the railroad tracks far from town and have a shooting gallery about once a year. Normal activity for the early 60’s. 👍

[@johntanner7879]

Love the skit. I had to share it with my wife! Being self taught there are big voids in my knowledge base so it is great to go over some basic information. I will be dressing my wheels to run true. I just re watched your two videos on lubrication and found very helpful. You could redo them into one as you already have a lot of the video footage just add and edit! They were Fantastic and very useful videos. Industrial Westinghouse bulbs are as rare as a thousand dollar bill. I purchased two huge industrial fixtures with a ballast and the huge bulbs gave $5 for them I never powered them on I was too unsure to do it. I ended up selling them on eBay for $300 each so there must have been a big demand for them then. However, I but just bought a led light that screws into a socket and gives off 18,400 lumens that is bright.

[@frankg3072]

Great teaching video about the bench grinder. It’s like being in a shop class. Your neighbors must think you’re a nut job!,

[@saigaking]

Loved the video scout really interesting information about the grinder Dresser .the grinder is such a great tool I think we all learned the hard Way on those things same with the buffer it grabs and off it goes ha ha Fantastic video have a great weekend god bless take care 👍🙏🗽🇺🇸🇳🇿

You light up my life! That was fun. Enjoyed the grinder tips, also.

[@isasams76]

Fantastic ! Thanks for this great video !

[@dane.1847]

Hey ScoutCrafter. Great video. Every time I see that brand of cleaner, Bon Ami, I remember the old lady from the Don Knotts movie “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken”

[@greghomestead8366]

Great movie. Just throw the book at the bookshelf and woosh

[@michaelcampagna93]

That light show is awesome!

[@tonylenge424]

Next to my uncle you are the second oldest kid I know! He is the oldest. Thanks for the video.

[@Ricopolico]

What a great video! So much good stuff. Did you ever see Bon Ami in bar form? When we first got married, my wife, Mrs. Anderson, swore by the stuff. We lived in an Ol' Skool apartment that had double-hung windows with 12 panes of glass on the top sash. Then, she couldn't find it anymore.

[@x99j]

That bulb brings back memories of my elementary school gymnasium! No ballasts to worry about! I bet those get hot!

[@peterjames2580]

Thanks for the show! I have a wheel dresser Iv'e never used.

[@nicknicoletti9778]

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out if I’m watching a scoutcrafter production or Stephen Spielberg ?!?!. What a very cool light bulb. I can say I haven’t seen one like that. Have a great weekend!

[@billmiller7138]

That grinder looks near new! I have a 1/4HP Craftsman that I bought while still in high school in the 60s. It's been through a few cord replacements and many wheels and a lot of heavy use. I was wire wheeling with it this afternoon. Guess it's gonna outlast me!

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Used to change large bulbs like that at the hospital in our parking garage. But I think they were only 500. We used to change bulbs out on each floor after a certain amount of time. We were ok to take them home. I still have a few. I liked the bulbs on our helicopter pad. The filament in those were thick. We had one guy that it was his whole job to go around the hospital and change burnt out bulbs. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@donaldrouleau4269]

Hahaha great show tonight John I just love those old Frankenstein movies

[@davetarrant6888]

TGIF - That bulb is a monster, so cool. There is just something about guys and bright lights, you gotta love it! Hope you have a great weekend.

[@65csx83]

As always (so far) lots of good info. A great use for that Bon Ami (and the bar) is house windows. Aluminum screens in storm windows have a tendency to leave a kind of oxidize film on windows which had my parents frustrated. For a change I was able to educate them about a product they had but didn't realize it could do.

[@Garland77]

Your neighbors must love you!

[@buddynewman8949]

Cool video, made me chuckle. You sure have kept busy over the years with a variety of interests and projects.

[@vincentwesolowski459]

I love it John, your neighbors must be having a good laugh too.

[@melkc345]

Absolutely LOVE it!! A variac and welding glasses should be in every DIYer's tool kit. Thanks for another great video John. Jim

[@805ROADKING]

Great tutorial on the Grind Stones Mate!! Big light bulbs are fun!! Mike has a whole box of 2500 watt bulbs, you probably seen the video of us lighting them with the twin Caterpillar Welder two years ago at the Coolspring Show!!☺

I worked at a coal power plant in Trenton NJ for 37 years. We had those large mogal base bulbs in our large drop lights. Indoor or outside, they worked worked great and rugged.

[@mpdonn317130]

Good times with light bulbs! On the wheel hazards, back in The early 70s my brother was using my father’s wheel and it came apart and hit him in the forehead and earned him a trip to the emergency room. The injuries turned out to be superficial but looked terrible right after it happened. I think it was in 1971 or so.

[@patjohnson3100]

Great video. Those grinder tips were very useful. Thanks for emphasizing safety around power tools. You have to respect the power in grinders, saws etc. I have never seen an incandescent bulb that size, although I have some mogul - base bulbs with different brightness levels, also some reading light incandescent bulbs with mogul bases. Just one of those bulbs you have could not only light an entire house, it could heat it as well. I can just hear the electric grid groan with strain as that 1000 water is turned on. Very glad it lit up. How old is that bulb?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Pat- Can't tell... Some guys can guess the age by the manufacturers watermark! =D

[@jimmacdonald9746]

It seems like an age since we used 1000w halogen lamps …since then we have seen sodium lamps , metal halide lamps and now LED….where will it all end?👍🏻🇬🇧 great vid John as always

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

Your grandfather was probably Doc Brown. Great show

[@jeffk204]

Great video! Have you considered rigging up a rotating reflector/mirror for the bulb so that you'd have your very own lighthouse / stage lighting effect? Also do you have any special tips on how to put away the steel wool so it won't rust after using it? I try to wring it out and set it somewhere where the air can circulate and dry it out without letting it rust. But I wonder if you have any other tips.

This is the first time ive seen an incandescent mogul base lamp, pretty cool! Ive seen the HID ones tho. A few years back we were doing a job and I was able to snag one of the old runway lights, the lamp inside it was really cool looking, I replaced the insides with a normal Edison socket I got from home depot but I kept the old one and lamp.

You lighting the bulb was like the old horror movie shows on Saturday night like Svengoolie on ME TV

Hi Scout , 4 0000 Steel Wool Is Good For Fishing Reel Restoration . Too Funny With the Bulb ! Where's Elviral !

[@jpsimon206]

If the bon ami is hard to find or no longer available, I recently discovered sprayway brand window cleaner. It's also ammonia free and it doesn't evaporate quickly, works enormously better than any other glass cleaner I've used. It also smells really really good. Like not cleaner smell, just a good smell. It's not even expensive, because it goes really far. If you haven't tried it, I really recommend it. Totally agree on the 0000 steel wool

[@johntanner7879]

That glass cleaner in ace hardware is amonia free but they make some other very good products with white spray can blue lettering Pella told me to use on my windows!

[@lordvengerx]

I could go upstate and lay looking up at the sky and get lost for hours. That is the biggest light bulb I ever seen haha. Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe out there 🐱👍

[@cheekymonkey444]

When I was a kid we would go down to the local town dump. The town would regularly throw out the burned out street light bulbs, and also the traffic signal bulbs. They were packed in the original boxes. The guys would change out the burned out ones and put them back in the padded cases. We'd spend the day shooting the bulbs with my BB gun. We would set up many around the dump as a shooting course. And also a few of us would hold them by the base and they were shot out of our hands. That was exciting! Try that today and you would be up on murder charges. Every now and again there would be a large pile of spray paint cans dumped there. They were rejects from some paint factory. They were set up on old hot water heaters and shot with my .22. A lit candle was placed along side and when the propellant hit the flame it was quite spectacular. Whirling, flaming cans of paint. P.S hope you used SPF 50 around that bright light!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Those were awesome times!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@edwardschrader2853]

You excel at teaching

[@AaronBelknap]

Reports are coming in of a grid failure on the east coast. Experts have narrowed the power failures to Queens, NY. Officials seemed powerless. Grinders are to be respected right John? I've certainly learned my lessons on them and cooling while grinding. I have the same grinder the wife bought me, the ol' Craftsman, I used it so much, I broke the switch. The light is a plus. Great Friday video. Have a great weekend.

What a brilliant bulb (literally). I have a 1000 watt security light covering the back garden and very soon halogen bulbs are being discontinued therefore I need to stock up.

[@corydriver7634]

When you have to “suit up” to turn on a light…whoa. 😄 The mad scientist scene was cool, you could land airplanes with that bad boy. What do your neighbors think? As far as the steel wool I always find it interesting how different parts of the country pronounce it “triple Oh”. We call it “three ott” (sounds like auto). Enjoyed it.

[@Ricopolico]

Sorry to monopolize your channel, Scout, but you might dig this. When I went to school, in the middle of the main building was an Ol' Skool Power Lab. Large motors and generators japanned black, connected by thick leather belting and all set on a floor of red quarry tile. The kinda place Tesla would have felt at home. The loads were LARGE banks of 1000 watt lamps. Sad to say, before I had an opportunity to play around with that heavy equipment, some jagoff thought it would be cool to replace all that irreplaceable stuff with a Semiconductor lab. I took my "power lab" sitting at a table with a washing machine motor in front of me.

Can you use the Variac to control the speed of small power tools, let's say a Dremel? I've decided to save a few dollars and bought the one with one speed. I would love to have some kind of control over that.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Chip- Dremel made a variable speed control for their single speed units. Other companies make them today however only certain motors can be slowed down using a variac because the lack of RPM's effects torque and heat dissipation... It's a little complicated but the Dremel is a brushed universal motor and more forgiving to variable speed controls! www.ebay.com/itm/114851031877?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=114851031877&targetid=1264870805944&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9004381&poi=&campaignid=10455986539&mkgroupid=123050588060&rlsatarget=pla-1264870805944&abcId=2146002&merchantid=113593015&gclid=CjwKCAjwzruGBhBAEiwAUqMR8PxNVTDgNaIYsg7XX18U_Np-tL3QydFF2SBdeHJmB2oR0bTN8phFgBoCi6gQAvD_BwE

@@ScoutCrafter thank you so much for your response! I appreciate you taking the time to respond and even include a link. I'm on the right track now! Next time I will just pay a bit extra and get the variable speed - It seems like no matter what tool, speed control is a very good idea.
