I wear a lot of hats because I live in SW Washington and it rains a lot. I usually have worn a baseball cap. But recently I've started wearing smaller cowboy style hats. I really like Pendleton wool hats. They keep the rain off of my glasses , my face, and my neck. I'm 70 now, so I don't care what anyone thinks. Give me all of the odd looks you want. 😂😂

Hats! So we are going to talk about hats today. My Grandfather Nighswander wore a fedora. That was his Sunday hat. During the week his work hat was a captains billed cap like a bus driver would have worn. He was a Marine during the Spanish American war. No one was alive to ask when I went in search of his military record. Grampa Snyder wore a pith hat after he retired. It was his yard work hat. Most of the time he went hatless. My Dad wore a baseball cap all year round. In the mid 60's the foundry decided everyone needed steel toed shoes and bump caps. Dad wore one of those until Maintenance was singled out to wear a more durable bump cap so that became his most worn hat. I've worn baseball hats in little league, football helmets, bump caps, hard hats, motorcycle helmets, but my work hat is a golfing hat that i have been wearing a good 25 years. I started wearing it after I was working on the old workshop replacing the siding on what became the blacksmith shop. It was just after the hair styles changed and I had started getting my hair cut shorter. At the mature age of 40 I had decided that hair over my ears didn't fit with the image I wanted to project. I went out and put a full day in during the heat of summer. I fried the top of my ears. It was miserable with the blisters then the itching and not being able to sleep. What a mess. I bought the hat to keep the sun off my ears while they healed. I still had a blacksmith shop to finish. I wear a hat outside because I don't have any hair on top of my head. A couple friends ended up with skin cancer that kept coming back. That is something I have avoided. Grampa Snyder never had skin cancer. He had an original pith helmet. I had to look up and be sure of what it was made from. His was cork covered with cloth. US Wings claims they were covered with twill. I'll bet that's what Grampa's had. Wear your pith hat proudly. As long as I have gone this far I might as well mention that Lewie McNeely sent me a set of Coe's wrenches including a massive 24" one. I use mine because in Old Sneelock's Workshop, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't eat!" The drain plug on the Ford flat head six cylinder in the 8N it has a 2 1/4" or so drain plug. The mid size Coe's wrench does that easily. I'm guessing at the size because with a Coe's I don't need to know the exact size. It's a Fitsall wrench. After I watched you clean the Stanley rules I picked up a can of Barkeepers Friend at Walmart. $2.99 so not as good a deal as yours. Target is a 30 mile round trip so not worth burning 2 gallons of $3.75 a gallon gas to save $.99. Monday we drove down to Sturgis, MI. About 50 miles South by the Indiana border. Gas was $3.30 a gallon. $.45 cents a gallon more than it was in Kalamazoo. . Must be the extra shipping getting it up to Kazoo makes it more expensive. When I get the cleaning station set up for the rules I will try and go through my few insulators from the old knob and tube days. Your's turned out great. 😁😎

On an electrical guy wire on a pole there used to be a ceramic insulator just bigger than your fist. It looked very much like the small white insulators you showed. When you start on the line crew there are many old jokes you play on the new linemen. Those insulators are sometimes called Johnny Balls. Just like your white insulator, the holes are 90° off from each other. You tell the newbie, I bet you $10 you can’t see through both eyes of the Johnny Ball.” They won’t take the bet because it sounds like a trick. So you hand them the part and let them try it - no bet. They turn it every which way trying to figure out if it can be done. And of course it cannot be done. Then you say, “I bet you a buck I can do it.” They take that bet. Then you take the Johnny ball and hold it in front of your face. Then you drop your arm you throw the insulator up and you spin it keeping it vertical. It gives the illusion when it’s spinning that you can see through both holes at the same time, of course no one pays off. But it sure is funny watching the new guy put the ball up to his face and try to look through those two holes.

if you ever run into a Ungar (later Weller) Princess (model 6966, I think) heat gun, get it if it still works. We had them all over the test area for test/repair purposes. They were used to heat up ICs in case they didn't work properly when hot, and to verify failures of that type at the system level. They were used for 14-16 hours a day, for years. They may look small and dainty, but they are very, very good heat guns. This was about 30 -35 years ago. The Master Heat gun looks like the type of heat gun that was used in the cabling area (we made our own wiring harnesses) for shrinking down heat shrink tubing *there was a curved attachment on the end of the nozzle that was used to shrink the tubing). Those guns, too, were industrial quality, and were in contant use for the same amount of hours as the Princess guns I was talking about. They got heavier use, and were only turned off when the second shift was over. They were higher volume air flow guns, and had a plate just like that to stand uprignt on a desk. I don't know what went on with the one that failed, but if it is the same manufacturer, that is a real shame.

It gets pretty hot a lot of the year here where I am in Nor Cal, and for a long time I had a pith helmet style hat that was made of some kind white hard mesh plastic, so it was breathable. But the trick part was it had a small solar panel on top, and a little fan above the front brim with a cutout hole so it moved air through the hat and out. As long as you were in the sun, the fan ran and cooled your head. Looked stupid, but worked fabulous! I had the coolest head at the camel races in Virginia City, Nv. one year. It eventually fell apart, and I try not to work outdoors when it's over about 90 anymore, so I didn't look for another one. Loved those old monkey wrenches, BTW!

The wrenches look quite similar (the jaws especially) to the old King Dick wrenches from UK. Eric from Hand Tool Rescue (You Tube) did a re-make of the old wrench, with a few modifications, a couple years ago and sells them. As a matter of fact, I bought 4 for my sons for Christmas and one for myself. Good quality and very strong. Even though each have a serial number and engraved with the channel name, it is on my tool wall and gets used often. I thought King Dick Tools had long been out of business, but no, they are still going strong and are well known for their quality. Thanks.

Pith helmet looks great. I'm a big fan of just about any hat. I own some western styles and the newsboy caps. And of course plenty of ball caps. Interesting how often I wear a hat for function when I'm working at my property, but I still like them to have some style even if it's just to keep the sun off my head. I love the classic stetson dress hats, but haven't bought one. At age 69, I believe we can wear just about any kind of hat style we choose. Hats make a statement.

These machines are used for hair removal by use of a high intensity flash of light from a xenon tube in this "scanner" like head to destroy hair follicles. The thick hoses contain both thick gauge electrical conductors for the xenon flash tube, as well as tubes that circulate water to the head for cooling the xenon flashtube. These machines contain some serious hardware including a high voltage supply, serious capacitor bank and beefy triggers and switches for dumping the energy from the capacitor bank into the flash tube. I would have definately brought it home for the cool internals, but then again, i'm an electronics nut! ;) Great job on the wrenches!

No idea what the gadget is unless it's something for medical use. Some hospice places send out some complicated gadgets. One of the most simple insulaters you don't see any more are the ones for electric fences. I had a whole bucket before moving to AZ and they were sold. Don't see that many any more. As to hats I have quite a few. I have some nice fur felt western hats including a Stetson with the cowhand watering his horse as well as one from Australia. I don't think there is a give me hat any more. I have at least 3 flat caps, a Fedora, 3 straw hats, although the one cowboy hat has to be replaced as it is pretty much worn out. I have a cap like all the service caps when we were young. Police, firemen, milk man even gas station attendents. A Jeep cap for winter (imagine that) as well as a Stormy Kromer. Yes I have a pith helmet that is a type of straw that I bought from a forestry company. It fits like a hard hat. I use it for lawn work in the summer as it is the coolest as in it catches the lightest breeze. Oh I have 3 hard hats. There are more in my collection including a Ushanka. Yes I wear them all depending on the weather and what I am doing. I need a Bowler and a Homburg in the future.

I have my father's USMC pith helmet too. It looks slightly different from yours. He got this later in life and it was not issued to him It remind me of the 1942 Wake Island movie

Always enjoy wearing the Glengarry bonnet, especially back when I played tenor drum in a bagpipe band. The drum major had a pith helmet I admired. Great Coe's wrench cleanup for service.

That master heat gun failure cost that company 1 million in sales. I would have bought one if it performed. The $10 HF is okay but I’ve burned up more than 1

Project Farm is a very informative channel, The Coe wrenches turned out super, I was glad to see the wood handles were all in good shape. I always wanted a campaign hat, but since I never earned one, I simply can't get one.

I'm not much of a hat person, although I do use a baseball cap in rough weather.. I knew, that you knew what Fubar was.. lol...got a charge out of that.. I was going to recommend Project Farm to you at one time, but you always beat me to the good stuff.. Did you happen to catch the episode where he was testing Jack stands? I can't believe they can actually sell some of those.. Some we're pathetic.. S.C. thx again for another great video... Take care and God Bless...

That is a laser beauty equipment machine used for hair removal. Some of them are used for removing tattoos.
