Fisher Price Movie Viewer, Checking Drill Press RPM, Millers Falls No.63, Knurled Nut Driver.

[@troyb1733]

John, You find the coolest stuff. The movies and knurled nut driver and of course the morse code shutters...Best 55 ever spent!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Troy- He had 2 wanted $100 for both. I just have so much stuff! 🫣😂👍

[@1D10CRACY]

I had the fisher price movie theater. It used the same video cartridges, but projected onto a built in display or you could project it onto the wall. Pretty clever!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

No one can re profile a screwdriver tip as well as you! It's always enjoyable to see!! Thanks!!

[@johnfix1]

I am too old for Fisher Price and I don't remember that item with my son but he had other very nice FP toys. The Millers Falls nut wrench is unusual. Thanks for showing..

[@stuartkynoch7289]

Wow at 60 years of age I learned there are actual tools for knurled nuts that I have played with for most of my life ( My family are all electricians or in the electrical field) Thanks again for another great video!

[@jdftx]

In the early 70's I worked for the company in Mountail View Caliifornia that invented and produced the viewer you have. it was initially named a "The Action Viewer" and if I remember correctly they had films in subjects such as Sports, Animals and other subjects. It was aimed primarily at kids and when sales never really took off, Fisher Price bought the idea and we produced them for a few years. As I remember it was quite successful and I used to have some of the old Action Viewer film cartridges, and they're probable in a box somewhere in the house. Thanks for showing it, it brings back old memories.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Absolutely fantastic idea and invention! Simple, effective, robust and fun! 😃👍

[@rollerbald]

Knurled nut driver - who knew? I sure didn't. The movie viewer is pretty neat. Remember the 'View Masters' ? We had those when I was a kid.

[@setdown2]

That strobe a scope could come in handy at times…good pickup…🖖

[@dane.1847]

The clean up on those screwdrivers turned out great. Still love that “ yeah right “ dog.

[@OldSneelock]

Fisher price brought that out after I was too old to be playing with one and not yet having a kid to play with them for another 10 years. We had the View Master 3D toys and later I found the Stereopticons at antique stores. Still have one with some pictures. Tools for professionals are very interesting. I had never seen or heard of the knurled nut driver until you showed this one. Pretty cool. Something I could have used a few times at least. Lots of pull chain switches in ceiling lights were held on with a knurled nut. I like the strobe light demo too. Great show today. Thanks for sharing some of your collection John.

[@357magdad]

The Millers Falls 63 was a nice find!

[@ScoutCrafter]

.25 cents! 😂👍

[@frankpattisr2250]

John,I live in East Aurora NY.Home of Fisher Price Toys.My wife Mary worked there over 50 years a go!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Frank- I’m a huge fan of Fisher Price! I have a small collection mostly pull toys from the 40’s on but what a great company! 😃👍

[@terryrogers1025]

The 50/50 comes thru again, works for me also, it’s about all I use anymore. Like the screw driver revival, I had never seen a knurl nut driver before, I must live a sheltered life! 😮😊😂, good show today, enjoyed watching, thanks

[@kifhurlbut]

Oh boy, I had forgotten about that viewer until I saw this! You are the Smithsonian of College Point if not all of Queens or NYC.

[@metalwork.]

Great Fisher Price viewer... Don't remember those. I was a teenager in 1973.. a kid today would be bored with that in 5 seconds.... Always amazing how far technology has advanced 😊

[@lv_woodturner3899]

I love the knurled nut driver. I did not know this tool existed. Very good to know. The Millers Falls #63 cleaned up nicely. Dave.

[@larrynelson734]

Hi John. I'm 79yrs old now. And never knew there was a special tool for nareald nuts 😮.great job on those drivers. Have a great day. 👍👍❤🤠...

[@terrystewart2070]

My oldest child was 2 in 1973, and we got him Fischer Price toys, but I do not remember ever seeing the little movie viewer. Looks like the toy designers got the idea from the early 4 and 8 track music tapes, which were all the rage then. A fun trip in Mr. Scout Crafter's way back machine, thanks John!

[@Dardrum]

That knurled nut driver is a fantastic tool, I never knew they existed. I love it when I learn new things, Thanks Scout.

[@robfahey1349]

I have to say i come across knurled nuts quite often and usually im pretty good with my hands getting them tight, but its getting harder i never knew they made such a tool what a fantastic idea. This is truly why i love the channel always something more to learn it truly is an educational channel. True gold John.

[@kimbishop4734]

We got married in 1973. We didn't have kids for a couple of years, so we never had a movie viewer like you showed. But it was too cool. Funny enough, my son (48) came over the other day and sat and looked at all of the ViewMaster slides that we have from when I was a kid. He loved them. In fact, I still have the wall projector from ViewMaster we had when I was a kid. My grandson loves it.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I have a great viewmaster collection! They were always fun!

[@larrydemaar409]

Those screwdrivers were so neat, thanks for restoring them. A screwdriver to turn a knurled nut was surprising.

[@johnkelley9877]

I don't remember movie viewer but I did like the View Master Viewer that had photos of national parks. I had never seen a nut driver like the one you have but you did a great job of cleaning it and the screwdriver. Thanks for sharing this.

[@billmccabe9601]

Some crazy antics on those film reels. Still good for a few laughs. Thank you for rescuing and sharing.

[@aceroadholder2185]

Good video with the knurled nut driver. A spray lubricant I like to use is motorcycle cable lubricant. It has a light lubricant with a solvent that allows the oil to penetrate, and the solvent evaporates.

[@joseffroula7415]

Excellent episode, John. You’ve got a great eye for finding those two tools on the quarter table. Diamonds in the rough.

[@truthreigns7]

This was a great video. Thank you for all the hard work it took to show the child's viewing toy. That brought back memories.

[@IsaacWilsonSantiago]

Just to make everyone feel older. I was born in 77. I do remember those video devices along with going to the public library to check out the large movie reels. My son turns 30 in a year a 2 month's.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Isaac- It’s now for you when time will really start to fly! 😃👍

[@williamkroth9429]

Amazing how many things I learn with each episode....thanks.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Dang it! I could have used that knurled nut driver last week. Didn’t know it existed. On the hunt now! Thanks for sharing another great show.

[@TheKidFromYTown]

That adjustable knurled nut wrench is cool. Very nice job on the clean up too. Good video.

[@joeheilm]

It is amazing that a 50 year old toy still works that well. I try and buy my nephew toys that will last. Maybe I'll buy him a strobescope for Christmas 😂. Cheers

[@ScoutCrafter]

Joe- no lie I was thinking the same thing- my nephew would like a stroboscope! 😂👍

[@noahlevy48]

When I was watching the Fisher Price Movie Viewer, I had a thought pop into my head: it would be pretty neat to couple the movie viewer with a similar type of record like the one you showed in the earlier video. Instead of reading the book, it could have the dialogue of the movie. Great video as always!

[@TheEvertrap]

Here's a challenge any Scout Crafter fan can participate in... watching and liking all the videos (over 1.2K of them) starting with the oldest. I've been doing this for a couple of months now and passed the 500th one last week. It's tons of fun and learning so much, with many more to look forward to.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Some of those early ones are hard to watch, new ones too! 🫣😂👍

[@WeekendShedHead]

Fantastic episode John 😃👍 love the set ups rigs.. great watching old cartoon.. timeless fun ! And the strobe 👏 ! Next a zoetrope 😉 I’ve always wanted to make one of those ! Cheers Rob

[@ScoutCrafter]

Me too! Zoetrope fan here also! Thanks Rob!

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

OMG! I had all those toys that you showed,what a trip down memory lane! It's amazing how you can remember those things but can't remember what you did last week 😅 Thanks again and see you Friday

[@ScoutCrafter]

So true!

[@johnhannon]

Great show John! I learned something new about the knurled driver. I have that same Harbor Freight drill press. Is has been very reliable for me in my small shop.

[@ko2fjb]

Well being born in the fifties we had a viewfinder that we put round discs with small slides around the perimeter and clicked through to watch the story

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂👍 Fred- I have to break out my view master collection! 😃👍

[@ko2fjb]

.​@ScoutCrafter I wish I still had mine.

[@randallmcilwaine2191]

While cleaning out my mother's house many years ago I found the old Viewmaster we played with in the early 60s - I still have it and it works great!

[@stevenpressley5956]

Awesome show as always. I absolutely love Millers Falls tools. I have never had a bad, janky, crappy, cheap, disposable tool from them. They held their own with the likes of Stanley, Greenfield, Proto and many others of the day. Let us pray, Dear Lord, please bring back Millers Falls tools just as they were back then, please. Amen 🙏

[@ScoutCrafter]

Millers Falls were not only well made tools but always beautiful too! 😃👍

[@GuntersGarage]

Pretty awesome items this episode! The knurled nut driver is a first for me. I should have known theres a tool just for them.

[@paulsworkshop4179]

I had one of those movie cameras when I was a kid. It must have been a garage sale toy or hand me down because it was made before I was born. We had a bunch of the films and I remember the Lonesome Ghosts and the Cookie Monster one. I was always interested in how things worked. I distinctly remember breaking one of those cartridges open with a hammer down the basement and pulling out the film.

[@prasadvn524]

What a nice thing to revive old days.Thank you

[@timeflysintheshop]

Great video today! Yes. I bought the tub o towels! 😊😊😊

[@ScoutCrafter]

James- I can’t wait until you try them on some tool handles! Magic! 😂👍

[@andyc972]

Thanks John, that was a fun episode, I remember the Fisher Price toy, I didn't have it but knew people that did ! Great work on the screwdrivers (if only clean-up), I always like MF tools but that Knurled Nut driver is very cool, now I want one ! 😉

[@saigaking]

Oh yea we all knew what that wrench was for ha ha yeah right Great show John some great memories with the show finder God bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🇮🇱🗽🪖🦅47

[@lotsatrains]

I remember that film viewer from a friend of mine when we were kids 👌 really cool and also have that same drill press and good to know it runs that accurately 👍

[@michaellindsay8934]

Great video. I enjoyed the clean-up. Thanks for sharing your expertise

[@PennsylvaniaMike]

Very cool Millers falls screwdriver.

[@garypannone7755]

I thought I had one on you I was going to tell you what that nut wrench was. They use them on guitars and CB radios. But you were too quick LOL. And they are expensive. Also called toggle switch wrench.

[@tonylenge424]

Enjoyed the episode. The Fischer Price video toy was very cool, but I really liked the knurled nut tightner. Thanks

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Cool find with the knurled nut driver. I had the fp hound when I was a kid.

[@walterbordett2023]

Love the dog side eye.

[@toddcarstens6363]

I have an idea for an episode. You could do an episode on restoring vintage power tools. I am riding out hurricane Milton in Brandon Fl. I saw pile after pile of electric saws, drills, nail guns, etc... thrown in trash piles from hurricane Helene. The episode could include safety info on the concerns of fixing power tools.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I pray for your safety my friend- the 24 hours before a hurricane is 100% stress!!!

[@57WillysCJ]

Nice to see the strobescope testing the drill press. That movie viewer must have been to compete with the View - Master which I did not know was as old as it was.

[@stevenwitt4028]

Great video 👍 That Fisher Price viewer was great to see. As a kid I had the View Master that you insert these disc which would show these 3-D photographs that you would watch of different characters like Snoopy or Mickey Mouse and stuff like that, Great memories👍. Great job on the clean up of the 🪛 Millers Falls #63 and the knurled nut driver. That Millers Falls screwdriver ratcheting mechanism sounds fantastic thanks to that 50/50 of yours . You should patent that stuff. 😆👍👍👍. I don’t think I seen one of those knurled nut driver before , but what a gem to have around in the shop. It reminds me of the Stanley Hex -A-Matic nut driver. I think Klein tools made one to. Again really cool to see that tool. That stroboscope was pretty right on with the RPMs of your drill press. I will have to see about getting one of those. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Friday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Steven I have a nice collection of Viewmasters! 😃👍

[@crr8297]

Great Show. I had the "Give a Show" projector, it used a card with multiple film frames like a 35mm slide projector. It's too bad that the Technicolor film on these has degraded, actual color would have been much better.

[@wayneo7307]

Hi John, Nice Job on Those. They Came Out Looking New . What is With the White Paint Splatter! I Must've Bought And Seen Tons of Tools With the Splatter on Them. I Don't Know Who Does That But I Don't ! That Drill Press Was Pretty Accurate. 😮

[@ScoutCrafter]

Paint gets everywhere! 🫣😍👍

[@rawbacon]

Knurled Nut Tool Is Nuts, I Never Knew.🥜🥜🥜

[@alexstools]

Very curious about the lamp project. I guess the fixed position allows you to actually use it as a decorative working lamp.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! Although I am going to not make it as wide as the original, also LED! 😃👍

[@FrankRush-s2l]

Can you still purchase one. Never knew such a tool existed

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes, although it might have a different name still available!

[@ericshupack8056]

I had the movie viewer. Wish I still had it. I had snow white and dumbo.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice video. The drum sander in your drill press. I see them for sale. What application are they best suited for? Thank you.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That was a gift from Knifemaker Abe Elias! It’s a drum flap sander and has a dozen uses! 😃👍

[@johnroberts7280]

Cookie Monster 👍

[@tomdale1313]

"Always on time", three days a week John brings the goods for us to view free of anxiety, stress allowing those viewers who watch a few minutes away from reality much like a mini vacation to relax and breathe easy...

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tom- Even though I’m 1000 miles North I’m still stressed about Milton and its path. The news will tear you up! 🫣😂👍

[@Reggyontheroad]

Gotcha boom

[@essentialhandyman]

Where did you get the Stroboscope?

[@dsmith979]

fyi youtube had advertisements in this episode the ads for your show started about a month ago

[@sebglayburg5163]

Hey, John, wouldn't the RPMs be faster (or maybe slower) if you strobe checked a bit that was smaller in circumference than that sanding cylinder?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Seb- just the surface speed not the rpm’s. One revolution is the same no matter what the circumference. 😃👍

[@timwhite9255]

That Millers Falls screwdriver seems a little odd to me. Just one size and shape? Why would a person buy one of those in the old days when you could get a multi bit retching screw driver? It's pretty and i would collect one in a minute but i can't imagine a tradesman buying an array of those to match his screws, it would have been expensive.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That Screwdriver dates back to the 20’s! 😃👍

[@timwhite9255]

@@ScoutCrafter This is true but Yankee had ratcheting scewdrivers with multiple bits back then and before and you only had to buy i ratchet and the bits.

[@pocketsand762]

@scoutcrafter I have an old tool that I can’t find any info on, was hoping you might be able to give some insight on…
