Hey Señor Hank, so you like vanilla and chocolate... Mexican flavors. I live in a place filled with bakeries and sometimes, I am lucky to get my bread just baked. I know you Germans have a very rich variety of different breads to chose from due a long lasting culture on bakery, I do not know about Polaks and their bakery culture. So,you like vanilla and chocolate good, good, you are German-Polak, good, good, ex-marine mmm... Did I tell you I really the ARMY? Just kidding, you a great person, god bless you señor Juan. Saludos desde México. If you ever come go my land tacos, Mexican bread and Mexican candies would make you day. Oh, sure we have Mexican food, music, dance and beer.

I’ve never had a black and white cookie. You must be keeping them in new York for your self. I’m not sure but did you say you thought about not finishing the pliers. As my buddy says buck up little camper you can do it. You take crap and make ice cream and you have for years. I told a wood master today about you with the restoration of tools. The part that sets you apart from most is you go the extra mile to make it right. Keep it up you are very knowledgeable on these tool saves. Thank You

[@williamlouis5011]

I’ve only had a black and white cookie one time. It was new to me and I had no idea of how it was supposed to taste. I didn’t think it was very special. However, when I was younger, if I got up early on Saturday morning, I could go to the bakery with my father. (This was before Dunkin Donuts!) Many times the lady behind the counter would ask my father if I had been good that week and would give me a free donut! I always looked forward to the Saturday trip with my dad!

When I had a layover for work in the Iron bound section of Newark, we would hit the Portuguese bakery. I had no idea what the names were, but it was like being in heaven. They had the real deal black and white. You gained two pounds just entering the bakery.

Subscribed to WSH earlier when this video came out two and a half hours ago. I see he hit 1,000. Congrats!!! I used to get those cookies all the time when I was a kid in New Jersey. Once in a while I will see them here in the Cleveland area and grab one. Great job on the pliers!!!

[@jackofswords7]

In Germany we have the black and white cakes/cookies and they are called, "Americanas". And I always eat the chocolate side first because I love the sweeter iceing on the white side.

[@jpsimon206]

I very rarely watch television but when it was being broadcast, I used to watch Seinfeld. It must be 20 years since that show was contemporary and New York has changed quite a bit. I never thought it was an especially important show, just a sitcom; but in retrospect, the writers really had a knack for nailing those cultural touchstones that resonate with people. I think this is the fourth or fifth time where a personal New York experience of yours happens to align with an episode. I would ask if you were a fan, but it was sort of one of those shows that even if you didn't watch, enough people did that you were necessarily aware of it. Black and white cookie... Doesn't seem like conversation fodder that could fill out a single sitcom episode, and here we are referencing it some decades later and I think at least most of us over 40 from the Northeast have a personal experience very similar to the bakery you describe. I can hear the crinkle of that paper, wax on one side and sort of butcher paper on the other. I can smell that butter in the air and the only version of Dusty that smells fresh and inviting. But more than anything, when they hand it to you over that counter and you detect that residual warmth and you know you hit the lotto; this was a truly fresh cookie, you had an especially delicious snack ahead of you that you had to eat the whole perimeter of first to savor that hot center as your dessert so to speak.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I just saw that episode for the first time today after reading the comments saying they remember the Seinfeld episode... =D

[@smithtown6589]

John this is really a masterpiece restoration. I would never have thought of this approach for the rivet replacement. And as for B&W cookies, the wife and I brought them out to the grandkids in CA ten years ago and now we don’t dare go without them.

Holy Moly I can't believe what it took to get that rivet out!

The Black and White cookie is available outside of NYC, but it just ain't the same. They even sell them at BJs warehouse: a bunch of small ones in a plastic box... not the real deal. Instant nostalgia for this Bronx boy!

I love the vintage lineman pliers, that was outstanding, way to perservere. You are the one that taught me to properly bang on those rivets to get the slop out without damaging the pliers. Love the screw rivet, nice.

[@johnpossum556]

You think they are for a lineman or did they come up with that design for the military? Look closer at them, 3 cutters and a long slim design that any size of hands could still get around. 3 cutters in case you bung one up you could still get through that barbed wire fence without a bangkalore(sp?). I'll bet if you could find the same year army denim jacket in a Army Surplus store you will find an inside pocket that will fit those.

[@Traderjoe]

I love black and white cookies. It’s more of a cake than a cookie, and I would eat the white side first, because the chocolate was more decadent to me.

[@fooddude9921]

OHHH, DO I REMEMBER THEM!! My favorite all time cookie (it's technically a cake actually believe it or not). I loved them as a small kid and my Dad would buy me one either at the bakery on Merrick Road by the Wantaugh Pky on our way to the beach or in town at DiMonda's Italian Bakery in Massapequa Park. Later as a teen when I worked there I always grabbed a couple on Sunday (along with a dozen hard rolls) when Pat DiMonda (the owner) would allow us to take product home for free, since we were in there at 1-2 in the morning. I have a dessert cookbook at home now, which I bought for the only reason it has a great recipe for them. They're easy to make and if you want the recipe John just let me know.

The first thing I thought of when you mentioned black and white cookies was how I would always eat the white side first and save the chocolate side for last. We’d always stop at the bakery on Sunday after church for rolls and pastries, and my grandmother would buy one each for me and my brother.

Never seen a black and white cookie (we would call it a biscuit) in the UK. One of my favourites is something only available in Sweden, as far as I know - called a dammsugare (literally 'dust sucker') or Punsch Roll - looks like a 1950s cylinder vacuum cleaner.

[@jpsimon206]

Just because I made that comment about a tool makers knee, I don't mean to imply any kind of expertise. I do have a universal tool and cutter grinder, but I find it wildly intimidating and I am comfortable re sharpening an end Mill and I can make a lovely lathe tool, but it would take many lifetimes to master that machine. There are whole functions I have never even used. When I get hungry for something that really challenges me, I bring a different type of cutter to the TCG and set my brain to figuring out how best to sharpen it. I think that particular tool is harder to use than every machine tool in the shop combined. That's my distant thought. When I can't effectively use my hands, figuring out how to use that machine to make a shape, even as a mental exercise, it's wonderfully exhausting if you know what I mean.

[@terryrogers1025]

Never heard of black white cookies, look really good though. Headed over to the weekend head shed to take a look. Thanks for the video. Sometimes those small quick jobs turn into little stinkers.🙃

[@jpsimon206]

You really need to get yourself a tool makers knee! A few narrow grinding wheels, whip up a few arbors on the lathe and run them on the milling machine after you put some Saran wrap down. This is a textbook use, the knee allows you to clamp up any angle you need, and you dress the wheel in the shape you need it to grind. It really helps your brain to be able to see what would improve a tool after using one a handful of times. It has totally reshaped how I "invent", even in my brain. Envisioning how a grind effects things really helps you understand the strength inside geometry and why hard lines are to be avoided at all costs for something to interact with humans and it is the most important thing in something that interests with machines.

[@MartinPaulsen87]

I am surprised that you have come around to using the cold blueing fluid so often. You had been pretty hard against using it in the past. As for the handles with damage, I would try filling the hole with a little plasti-dip and then dip the hole handles so the hole disappears under the rubbery coating. I just picked up a new can of yellow plasti-dip from H4H for $6.
