Jacktown Spring 2024 Show- Reed Prince Screwdriver, Tool Purchases Plus Show-N-Tell

[@rogermcdonald1607]

John , i dont think anybody minds when your show is alittle long! We enjoy it and always seem to learn from you! 👍😎🇺🇸

[@MogadasMogadas]

I can walk around this old tool market 24 hours a day without missing a meal or looking at tools. Thanks for the great video.

[@patjohnson3100]

The cutaway engine by 805 Roadking is a great piece of craftsmanship. Your videos are never too long.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Pat- It was great as a cutaway but making it move and adding spark! WOW!!!

[@gimble1]

John... I would rather watch a half hour of you then literally anything else on KZbin or TV!

[@357magdad]

Jacktown was a blast! Thank for bringing us all together!

Hello from romulus Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m so glad you are enjoying the content! 😃👍

[@greghomestead8366]

Hi fellow michigander Kalamazoo here. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

[@allentrench]

John, I think I’m gonna have to do a family vacation to Jacktown one year. Like I’ve said before there’s nothing in Southern California that even comes close to something like that you’re very fortunate to have all those shows on the East Coast. Don’t ever apologize for going long if people like it, there’s always a stop button. I enjoy all the content.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Allen we would love to have you! 😃👍

[@13thworker45]

John you have a great family at your reunions. One day I hope to meet you in person. I have not seen a screwdriver like the red and clear one. I do have a set of buck chisels and wards that are red and clear. You did a nice demonstration on the v blocks. You can increase your shows to a half hour with no commercials. Now that would be great. Thank you

[@ScoutCrafter]

Jess- As you know I am not monetized so I have no say over any ads that KZbin inserts- However I decided to try the premium version a few months ago I think it’s $18 a month and I never see an advertisement ever! Best money spent I promise you! 😃👍

[@kb1cwa]

I love those Toyota pliers. Over the years I've collected random Japanese motorcycle wrenches. I found a some Toyota wrenches to add to the collection. When I got my Toyota Tacoma I got an authentic Toyota tool roll and completed the Toyota tool collection that I carry in my truck. It's a shame that auto manufacturers don't add tool kits to the vehicles any longer. Finding an old Ford wrench I always wonder about it's history.

[@bobx2387]

Hey John, Greetings from England. You never jabber on, your approach and presentation makes me want to view more. Go well my friend. Bob (Weston super Mare, Somerset)

Hi John, That carousel horse 🤩 I can only imagine the colours and designs you would paint on that blank canvas 😃 and wouldn’t that be a fantastic piece in the back yard ! Great walk around… you have some fantastic friends out there 👍cheers Rob

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rob- It was spectacular but $1000 was just a bit high for me. $200 and it would be in my living room. 😂😂😂

I made the trek up from Georgia and went to Jack Town on Sunday. I wish i could've been there to meet everyone on Saturday butblife got in the way. It is an impressive swap meet and it was my first time going to it. I'm already making plans to be at the next one. I found some amazing deals and future restoration projects.

[@davedoughty1213]

Thanks John!!! Another fun video… I wish the flea markets in California had prices like yours with $1.00 and $2.00 tables. Many sellers have inflated prices and questionable quality. You have reignited my interest in restoring old tools. I’m currently working on an axe that spent the last two days in a vibratory tumbler. I have fashioned a new handle for it and will be installing it soon. Thanks for your videos!! The Old Army Scout…

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding! 😃👍

[@GWP323]

Another great time at Jacktown. I only wish I had gotten there earlier. After the meet up, Phil and I went counterclockwise around the back and the rain was bad enough that many people covered their tables. We still got a lot (I might need to get a bigger wagon!) and Phil got several items for his "Time Capsule Tuesday" videos. I wasn't enabling him like he says. I merely told him if he didn't buy certain items I would! LOL George

[@ScoutCrafter]

I love Phil’s time capsule series! 😃👍

[@joeschulz7997]

Great video and turnout. I wish I could have made it. The powdered hand doap dispenser brought back memories of when I started working at C.E. We had this type of dispenser and big round foot peddle operated sinks. Thanks for your reply John.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Joe- Those big granite circular sinks with the stainless foot ring was. Fascinating to me!!! 😂👍

[@Uwannawatch]

John, that was a great time! It was nice meeting you and all the other guys. How lucky were we that the rain held off! There is so much to look at there you can't do it in one day. Next time i will be staying for both days. I'll post my jack town finds video Wednesday.

Now i feel bad that i missed Jacktown. The weather channel said 50% chance of rain so we opted out this time but apparently it didnt rain for you guys. Oh well, next time. Seen those bolts all the time but never thought they were telephone pole steps.

You have Henry Ford to blame for the Philips screw. Robertson screw as we all know is easily the best was actually used for couple of years in Ford cars and Henry tried to "screw" over Robertson and then adopted the Philips screw.

Depending on what account you read the story varies however one thing for sure they were both hard headed! 😂

[@tomdale1313]

Birds of a feather, flock together. It is a very old saying - it does, however, MEAN that 'birds of (the same) feather flock together'. It means that people with the same interests 'move' the same way - just as a flock of (identical species) of birds move together in groups. Birds of a feather flock together ...thxs for sharing

[@lv_woodturner3899]

A good crowd for the meet-up. Sorry I was not able to attend on Sat for the meet-up. I was able to attend on Sun, many more vendors due to the dry forecast for Sun. I did not know about the Reed Price bit design. An example of a better design than Philips but it did not make it, sad. Dave.

Wow great stuff! I cant believe I missed the meet up AND the Amish bakery 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mitchjohnson4970]

I got a can of johnson's paste wax before they sold out. It gets used very sparingly

You need to put ( 20 Mule Team Boraxo ) powdered hand soap in it.

I have that!!! 😃👍

[@joeheilm]

Lol...I know for sure that I have junked a couple reed prince screwdrivers because I thought there were crappy #2 Phillips grinds 😂. I like torx bits, but find myself constantly switching back and forth between the t20 and t25. Hopefully they tone down the number of torx sizes in the future. Great stuff. Cheers.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I love Torx- I was introduced to them using deck screws and instantly hooked!

Great turnout at Jacktown! Those pole steps bring back memories. We used those as tent stakes for Scouts. We also had a milk crate of bowling pins to pound them in with. I still have a crate if the stakes my dad had. They are great to have around the shop.

It's probably a good job I can't attend, with those prices I would not be able to resist, but I have more than enough projects awaiting my attention already.

[@matthewhopkins666]

Making your own paste wax is easy just melt some beeswax and add mineral oil pour it into a container leave it to cool and solidify. Good part is you can make your paste wax as hard or soft as you want, the softer you want it the more oil you add. Make a hard version for just adding a protective coat and buffing to a polished finish and a really soft version with lots of oil is more like a conditioner the oil will soak into dried out wood or leather etc and moisturise it. Completely non toxic and food safe too perfect for chopping boards/blocks etc.

[@ScoutCrafter]

The problem here is beeswax is pricey now! I don’t know what happened!

[@rawbacon]

Get a bag of Foca powdered laundry soap for that dispenser, best smelling soap in the world and probably a lot safer than the original stuff was always so harsh.

My dad worked at a ford dealer spinning wrenches for living on the weekend i would tag along a few hours later he would be covered in grease and they had a huge foot operated wash station as a kid this was a big deal even though I didn't get dirty i had to try it out

[@57WillysCJ]

As a kid who would climb anywhere, I have started up those lugs but chickened out for fear of getting a ride home in the squad car. Actually that would be the easy part. I think our grade school had those soap dispensers as well as the first factory I worked in. I wonder if bowling alley wax is as good as Johnson's. At $30 a pound it had better be. That said a 1 lb can of Johnson's is like $123 online.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m looking for a cheap hand dispenser soap alternative. Probably some detergent will work. 🤔

[@57WillysCJ]

@@ScoutCrafter I would just use powdered soap. My grandmother used Breeze soap for everything including dishes. I think she bought the soap because it had free wash cloths and sometimes hand towels. Borax is used as well. I think you can get Borax hand soap powder. Banner Chemical brand

[@williamkroth9429]

That "Polonium" spark plug was a big deal in its day and actually a great idea. Polonium is a radioactive element and actually part of the spark plug's electrode. Since it is radioactive, it ionizes a path in the cylinder head for the spark to jump. Under compression in an engine, the air fuel mixture is more of an insulator between the electrodes and the polonium gives a better and stronger spark by forming an ionized pathway. I run a science museum in NJ and we have the same spark plug in our periodic table under "uses of polonium". The only drawback is that polonium has a very short half-life so it only works for a few months before it loses it radioactivity and that initial benefit is lost . Don't worry it is surely safe.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks William! Super interesting!!! 😃👍

[@InAndOutOfDavesGarage]

What another great video. I know you probably have a Geiger counter, I looked up Polonium and it said it was radioactive. But maybe it not the same thing? Anyway as always thank you for your time and knowledge.

Zündapp Bella scooter, my grandpa had one. That model was manufactured between 1953 and 1964. 1 cylinder 2-stroke engine. Having either a 147, 174 or 198ccm displacement. First one had a maximum speed of 70kph, the last two ones of 90kph. Requiring between 2.5 and 3.5 liters of gas per 100km. Price back then was between 1500 and 1800 German Mark. 130,000 of them were manufactured. Most of them were the version with the 198ccm engine. That was the way most people here were driving around at that time. Cars were still too expensive for workers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCndapp_Bella
