Craftsman Needle Nose Pliers. Klein T-Handle Hex Set. Antique Boxwood Rule. B&M Canned Bread review

[@1D10CRACY]

I see a special addition of Tub-O-Towels being sold in Scoutcrafter Red containers..... 😂

[@OldSneelock]

Hey John. I have a merch supplier that sells all kinds of shirts, backpacks, hats, beer cozies, etc. I have been thinking of designing a Scoutcrafter Shirt Logo.

[@OldSneelock]

When I was a kid the National Guard would come down from Grayling, MI on their way somewhere. They would bivouac at Waterworks Park in Coldwater. They were about a block from my parents house. The Guards would send us kids to the Burger and Chix to pick up food for them. They paid for the burgers. A whole quarter for a burger. Then since they couldn't take the C Rations back they would give it to us. We carried that stuff when we went back in the woods behind the ice skating pond. The canned bread usually had peanut butter and orange marmalade in the box too. The bread was about half the size of the B&M canned bread. More like a dinner roll. Good stuff. Nixon stopped Viet Nam before my lottery number came up so I never went in the military. 😁

[@OldSneelock]

Dad told me about using the orange marmalade to distract the bees and wasps in France. They would take a slice of bread and cover it with the marmalade that nobody liked and set it over 30 or 40 feet away. All the bugs went over and left Dad, and the rest of the Anti Aircraft Battery he was a part of, alone while they ate.

John, this was a staple of every working class Irish Catholic family in greater Boston in the 60s and 70s and probably earlier Frozen fish sticks and French fries on Friday Hot dogs, baked beans, and B&M brown bread on Saturday Probably pot roast with mashed potatoes, peas, and canned pop'n fresh rolls on Sunday!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Pete- All those foods sound awesome! 😃👍

[@timeflysintheshop]

I did not think you ate hot dogs. Maybe they are OK because they are not really meat?!? 😊😊​@@ScoutCrafter

[@FlyingKSports]

B&M brown bread is really good sliced and toasted. I usually just butter it and eat like that.

[@ryanwalker6966]

I’m from Maine. Saturday night bean suppers were a weekly occurrence growing up. The menu was always: baked beans, red snapper hot dogs, cole slaw, and brown bread. Personally I was never the biggest fan of the bb! Haha!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ryan- We used to get Date and nut loaf that was awesome. 😃👍

Brown bread with hotdogs and beans was a weekend staple at our house. I loved it. From Rhode Island. Thanks for all you do ScoutCrafter.

With pork roast, in CT! Now the raisin grilled in butter in cast iron fry pan over the fire with eggs when camping, for breakfast or heated in the can (open) in the fire with bean soup. Yum! Love that ruler! Such a beautiful regrind on the nose of those pliers!

[@ko2fjb]

OMG, John, I've been eating brown bread for years. Sometimes 2 times per year but mostly around Thanksgiving. Toasted with butter or cream cheese is best. I also make my own around Thanksgiving using 2 metal 1 lb coffee cans.

[@ezzathawash2475]

Scoutcrafter, I’m pretty sure that 24” ruler is missing 4 alignment pins, everywhere the slats meet. I have several of these and replaced the missing guide pins with an appropriate size piece of paper clip. Love your channel!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes- It was common for woodworkers to remove them with pliers because they often got in the way. 😂👍

[@RobertoCarrera-f1v]

What happened? You didn't use a p-51 nor did you use everybody's favorite the dake to push out the bread😅

[@josephwatts925]

Good show ScoutCrafter. I went in the Army in 1966 and was just introduced once to C-rations and never had any since for which I am continuously grateful because ----- Army food was practically OK. That Dake is very cool. I have various boxwood rules. They are quite nice.

[@barryrankin587]

Growing up we had a cupboard full of empty soup cans, that mom and dad used for making brown bread every year. I still have the recipe but I have never made it myself. And yes, it was always best with cream cheese. 😋

[@michaellindsay8934]

In 1973 I went to basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I had a can of ham and eggs from the early 50's it was actually pretty good. Great show thank you

[@rawbacon]

For some reason seeing that canned bread makes me feel like having some Rum Fruit Cake & Eggnog.......Must be something about the color that sparked that memory into my head.

Bread in a can..never heard of that but I really like the idea. We dont have that around here. When I was in the scouts in the 70s we went on an adventure and each one of us had to bring a meal. I went to a cheap store like an aldis back then and got a bag of dinner rolls and a can of corn and a whole chicken in a can. My tent mate and I thought it was gross and didnt eat that nite but ol' willie came around because he never brought food and begged from everyone and we said eat all you want. He was gone from school for days with food poisoning real bad. He never begged for food ever again and that made all happy. We did not know it was bad but knew it was gross. Ever see the episode of M*A*S*H* where charles and hot lips share the pheasant in a can?? I laff my a** off every time that is on, They were so sic.

[@ScoutCrafter]

[@ToolsandTime]

Oh boy! Steel pot helmets & C-Rats. Love the Craftsman pliers and thanks for showing us how to fix the play without the enviable Dake press. Great show and thanks Scoutcrafter.

[@johngalanes5264]

Thanks! When I was a kid in New Hampshire we would have beans and hot dogs with canned brown bread every Saturday night. I can't find it out here but I was glad to find it on Amazon due to you!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Wow! John I never knew it existed! 😂👍

[@andyc972]

Thanks John, you sure squeezed a lot in there, tinned bread, never heard of that before, people are a bit sniffy about tinned food these days but as you say it's good beyond it's best before and often has less preservatives ! Alll the restorations were of interest the pliers really showed the value of the press, the Hex's are a simple practical tool set and the rule came out great, I believe the BCF has Oxalic acid in it which of course is a great wood stain remover !

[@jeanpomerleau8416]

my mom fed us that brown bread in a can over 50 yrs ago. I have not had it in a while, but I remember liking it.

[@terrystewart2070]

That canned bread actually looked pretty darn good! But then again my girlfriend says I never saw bread that I didn't like, so there's that LOL I had no idea there was such a thing, so now it's added to my bucket list.

Enlisted in the ARMY 70-74. Many “C” Rations on maneuvers in Germany with NATO troops. Don’t ever recall seeing canned bread. You should have used your P38 to open the can! Nicely done cleanup and tightening on those Craftsman pliers. I’ll have to try the Vaseline and mineral oil on my tools that live in my attached garage. Thanks for another great video. God Bless, have a great weekend, and don’t interact with the chooches!

[@PantherCityEDC]

Another great episode John. my stint with Uncle Sam was as a tank commander during the late 70's, we had C-rations, my favorite was the canned peaches and pound cake. The container also included a chocolate disk that was referred to as a "John Wayne Bar" about 3 inches in diameter, It was not very tasty, but as a weapon it had a maximum effective range of about ten feet.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂😂😂👍

[@Anthonysaudiojournal]

I was stationed in the Army in upstate NY during the early 80's and was assigned to the 295th MP Co in SEAD Romulus NY. We wore that same unit patch as the cool guy on the left in the Vic Morrow helmet. Since it was the early 80's we had just begun to leave the OD greens in favor of the woodland Camo but the patch was still the same. Sadly Pres. Clinton closed the base and it is no longer in existence.

[@jimronchetto8592]

I learn some things on every video! IMO, Tub 'O Towels needs to send you some free product, or some sponsorship! Have a great weekend, John!

A couple times a year my wife and I enjoy the B&M canned brown bread especially when camping or around the holidays, can't beat it on a cold day with a hot chocolate, with cream cheese it's a slice of heaven.

[@toolscouter]

Great episode. Thanks for sharing those great ideas. I’ll be back again soon and hope you have a great weekend.

[@uktony1525]

In the 1980s the UK army was also transitioning its meals. The best tinned item in the 24 hour ration pack was a fruit pudding which was like a heavy duty cake. I did my basic training in February and the fruit pudding definitely stuck to the ribs !.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I have grown fond of fruit cake in my later years! 🫣😂👍

[@janderson8401]

The canned brown bread has stirred up vague memories of church pot-luck suppers. At least I think thats where I remember it from. I’m sure that someone used to bring sandwiches that were cream cheese on date nut bread. I was a fussy eater as a kid and didn’t like to try new foods but I guess I was willing to try anything as long as it was a sandwich

[@ronjones6190]

They use to also make date bread which was really good with cream cheese. I wish they would bring it back!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Date and Nut loaf! Yes! That was delicious!

[@timeflysintheshop]

For the record. Modern canned food does go bad. Eventually! I was recently looking through the pantry for a can of tomato soup for my wife. I found a can with a best buy date of 2018. She was willing to try it! I heated it on the stovetop as usual. She took one sip off a spoon and immediately went to spit it out! Her words were, "That's not food anymore!". She said it tasted more like the can, than tomato soup!

[@ScoutCrafter]

The acid in tomatoes are hard to keep from turning. 😃👍

That brown bread was a Thanksgiving staple back when I was a kid in Massachusetts. It also went with beans and hot dogs for Saturday night.

I got out of basic training just before the M16 was introduced, I got to fire it later on, but I still preferred the M14 to the first M16’s that came out, but, I was trained on the 14, so, a little predigest because of familiar feel I think. Glass and cans, I’m with you on that one, be interesting to look into how they process that canned bread, I’ll have to look into it, never thought about it before. Thanks for the tips on the needle nose pliers and wood ruler, I’ll put those ideas to work for sure, thanks for the show, enjoyed watching.

Hey !John vraiment le pain c'est important pour un soldat, j'ai goûter les rations de combat chez nous, le pain que l'on avait en 1979 et les plats n'ont plus rien à voir avec ceux d'aujourd'hui, j'ai goûter les plats, il sont superbes et le pain aussi, c'est presque du luxe.

Hey John, This might be a good video for you to put out. You've shown how to tighten up the pivot on pliers a few times but how do you loosen up a pair if they have been pressed to tight. I have a new pair of Leatherman Wave+ pliers that came to tight and want to make them looser. What is your preferred method to get them right? This would also work if you fix a pair like you did in this video if you go to far. Thanks buddy

[@ScoutCrafter]

The leatherman pliers are really annoying when they are overly tight- I loosened a pair of pliers once by taking lapping or grinding compound with my thumb and pressing it into the rivet area and working the pliers back and forth- a little WD-40 added to help get the paste into the joint and it worked like a charm- Once it loosened up a little I made sure to apply lots of WD-40 to wash out any remaining grit from the joint. 😃👍
