LI Tool Meet Acquisitions, Rare NOS Wilton Clamp, Rex Cole Air Circulator First Look…

[@tomdale1313]

I always like your many guests that find refuge on your family estate, I always come away from your channel more inform, tanks for sharing...

[@barryrankin587]

Love the air circulator. We had one when I was a kid back in the 60’s/70’s. The great thing about them was, there was no fighting about who was going to sit in front of the fan. I love all the memories you bring back to me with different things you share with us each week. Thank you.

[@patrickmeyer1967]

I absolutely love the "air circulator" My grandparents had one when I was growing up. It was dark brown and tan Bakelite . They didn't get a/c until the late 80's and this allowed everyone to get some breeze. As for the give-aways, I often get things from companies, but the quality is just not there. However, I am a plumber for a state university here in Texas, Milwaukee Tool came to give us a new tool demonstration and gave us long sleeve t-shirts, nicely made and well bound blank books, safety glasses and of course stickers and pens

[@ScoutCrafter]

Patrick- I truly believe give aways really work. If a company treats me well I am a very loyal customer and don’t forget. 😃👍

[@johnpossum556]

We went through the 80s w/o air because my dad told us the one in the basement did not work. 🤣

[@michaelowens7151]

That boiler door is a work of art, no doubt about it, just beautiful workmanship!

[@almacli8360]

Only TD Bank they give out pens 😂- that giveaway ruler was awesome ‼️my favorite was those books because people take them for granted and don’t put the time in to read them and then the Snake and last but certainly not least That gorgeous boiler door 👈🏼✅

[@lv_woodturner3899]

A very nice haul from the LI Tool Meet. I think my favourite is the hand cranked snake. I have not seen one of these before. Oldie but goodie. I know what you mean about paper quality. Inexpensive paper does go brown and deteriorate. Many of the books were not intended to last for decades. Dave.

[@tonysheerness2427]

How much did the early well bound books cost?

[@larrydemaar409]

My favorite is the Wilton C-clamp, it gets an A+. Beautiful cleanup and maintenance!

[@williamlouis5011]

The 2 green books you showed reminded me of the Funk and Wagnells encyclopedias I used all through school!

[@EVILDR235]

To many of us Ruger fans, that drill is the cats meow. I have been collecting / buying tools since the mid 1960's and have yet to find one.

[@bigsecondrow]

Hi scout. I’m in New York for the first time tonight all the way from England. Just arrived to the air bnb and couldn’t help but look in vain at what appeared to be “the poor man’s flee market” as I tried to find another Bakelite bed lamp 🤣 great show as always. 👍🏻

[@bobwarner5845]

Nice haul! TD Bank gives out decent pens at every branch...........and the boiler door along with the Ruger tool are tied for catch of the day!

Fist off, the white rubber dog is on top shelf. I liked the plumbers tool for snaking,good post , cheers !

[@jamesmoodhard29]

Air circulator is my vote. Do it up and enjoy the breeze!

[@leonardburlile9623]

That Kennedy Tool Box was a GREAT Find!!! Nice cleanup & “Light” restoration.

[@johnpossum556]

16:30 You should put a mirror behind it so if anyone opens the door or operates the shutters they will be surprised to see themselves. I fixed ours, the water parts were filled with sunflower seed shells! LOL! I bolted a fan to the door and pointed it down over the woodstove. This bought the floor temp up like 50 degrees. I spent one year near Canada and burned wood during it, it was my only option for the mostly summer cabin. I saw a beautiful momma molting moose chewing her cud with her baby right behind her. No signs of aggression towards me. I followed a bobcat to get in there in the first place. Oh to be young again. But lately I have been going to the lakes at sundown to watch about 75 geese of which there must be 50 fuzzy babies and they draw their own crowds! I found out the sk8ters have their own park now, I hope they all use it because one clueless kid scared all the birds away all to impress nobody who would be impressed.

[@13thworker45]

I enjoyed the show. I love the air circulator. The porcelain electrical is a some nice pieces of history. Thank You

[@marko11kram]

I always was and still am fascinated by the Iron Fireman" boiler logo. I recall them from when I was a kid on Staten Island. The Last sign for them I saw was in Poughkeepsie, and that disappeared mid '80's

[@62forged]

This is first time I've seen a Wilton C clamp. I really like the old C clamps and have way too many. Thanks for another fun video.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You can NEVER have too many clamps! 😂👍

[@denniswhite4974]

I had a tool caddy just like yours. I'll be darned if I know wherever it is now. My favorite from your haul is the snake pistol - I've never seen one like that one.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Wow Scout, what a show! As an avid collector of Australian made C clamps 🗜️ the Wilton gets my vote. The prices over there seem ridiculously cheap and the quality and variety is amazing. I’m with you on the boiler door, that would go straight on my wall too. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@tonylenge424]

So many topics! What a great show. You appreciate your heating system when your pipes start to freeze!😲

[@johnkelley9877]

Really interesting items from the show! I like the air circulator and it would look good cleaned up and maybe repainted. Thanks for sharing this.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

That Ruger hand drill is cool... the air circulator is nice..I seen one about a year and 1/2 ago.. and kick my self for not getting it.. and that tool caddy..they are the best..I have one on my bench and use it daily. Holds all my utica pliers and stuff..

[@Ricopolico]

My favorite item has to be the boiler door only because I was involved in the repair of one, not the door itself, but the broken hinge lugs on the boiler. If it had been only the door, we would have just scronged up another door, but it was the lugs on the boiler which were broken. The young welder I was helping showed up with some magic stick rods that the local welding supply house told him were what he needed for cast iron . . . they weren't. I ended up going Old Skool on him and BRAZED it back into usability with a gas torch. It might not have been my prettiest work, but 40 years later, that coal boiler is still being used,

[@billmccabe9601]

Great memory jogger! We used to get little booklets from my Dad's Aunt every year at Christmas. She lived in a little town of less than 1500, and her bank gave out NFC/AFC BOOKLETS. Team rosters, schedules, conference info...pre modern NFL. My brothers and I looked forward to them...even though freebies, they were great.

[@stevenvaldivieso8844]

You sound like a kid at Christmas. Stay young at heart John. I like the clamp and the boiler door. (Very cool). Nice books too.

[@philcappellini2820]

That was quite an array of goodies. I enjoyed them all. Thanks for the video.

[@davetarrant6888]

I remodeled the bathroom last year and installed one of those Leviton timers on the exhaust fan. Works great, you start it when you get in the shower, and you don’t have to remember to turn it off after you finish.

[@andrewconrad4940]

My grandpa had that exact tool caddy. My uncle acquired all his tools when he died. My uncle set up a tool room exactly like his dads. To the tee. I’m pretty sure he took pictures as he packed it up and moved it. When I go to my uncles, it’s like walking back in time.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That is awesome! 😃👍

[@CurlyQLink]

I think setting up your workroom same as your dad's or grandfather's is more common than a lot of people may think. As they say, we learn from our parents

[@learningsevenresearchgoals1127]

The air circulator - never seen anything like that before. It might give me inspiration for something to do with an older oscillating fan that I have with a failing turning unit. Maybe setting it up this way would be a good idea.

[@Dardrum]

All those items you showed us are fantastic, My dad had that exact type of lazy susan on his work bench. Good Stuff Scoutcrater.

[@saigaking]

Great Monday mosh scout some really cool stuff nice to see the tool meet would love to grab some of that stuff fantastic. God bless take care 👌🏻🇳🇿🇺🇸🪖🗽45

[@beerdrinker6452]

What kind of maniac does not have six or seven boiler doors hanging on the living room wall? First time seeing a manual snake and an air circulator. That air circulator looks like it could remove some kitten tails. Thank you for reminding me about homemade mineral oil and petroleum jelly. Gotta do that. Great video.

[@marakirschner2921]

Boiler door is awesome. In 38 years of shop exposure I have never seen a c-clamp come in a box.

[@ScoutCrafter]

My buddy said “The box is worth more than the clamp” 😂👍

[@patjohnson3100]

Lots of great tools at the tool meet. There were things there I've never seen before.I had no idea Ruger manufactured drills. Other gun companies have manufactured tools, such as Winchester and Mossberg, but they no longer do. I really liked the air circulator, which I dimly recall. I was surprised when you showed the plastic tool caddy/lazy Susan. I actually have one.

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Great episode, lots of neat stuff you picked up,my favorite was the pistol grip drain snake handle,Thanks again😊

[@GreggKocenko]

Red Top boiler door my fav.Love your channel andPMFM. All the best to you!!

[@DanHPerry]

We had one of the air circulators when I was growing up. I don't know what happened to it. My guess is it was thrown out when we got air conditioning in the 70's. Wish we would have kept it.

[@alexstools]

That little ruler is beautiful! From the same year my dear grandfather was born. Hope you'll have a great week.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Many things were so well made back then. 😃👍

[@setdown2]

That fan …what a good design…constant air flow in all directions…made it to Kent Ct. to the Eric Sloan museum great week end trip all but entering NEW YORK by way of the George Washington bridge…oh my what a nightmare…But on the way home took the governor Mario Cuomo bridge so so much better…no traffic at all…never made it to elephant trunk, flea market it was all ready closed …looked very big as I passed by…🖖🏻

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m sorry you had to deal with the nightmare traffic here in the northeast. At least you know for next time. 😃👍

[@stevenwitt4028]

Great video 👍 LI tool meet look like a great show. Fantastic video of the event 👍. I like the one table you went to and showed us that fantastic Craftsman red vise and that Ruger 🔫hand drill. I also like that vintage plumber hand snake you acquired, that is awesome. It does remind me of a gun 🔫. That Wilton N.O.S. Clamp 🗜you acquired with the box 📦 is a fantastic find. It looks great 👍. I seen those clamps also in a flat black on the threads and handle with the grey paint for the body of the clamp 🗜, but again fantastic find. That Rex Cole air circulator fan looks awesome, fantastic find!👍But I didn’t see nothing wrong with the plug 🔌 🤔... 😂😂👍That would be a great project to restore on the channel. That vintage red 🟥boiler door is a cool find and would look great hanging in your shop,and also it is in ScoutCrafter Red 🟥 👍👍. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍

I could smell that clamp when you were done with the WD-40. That plumbers snake was neat, but I can’t wait to see that fan all done.

[@357magdad]

I love the Ruger drill!

[@crr8297]

I have 2 tool caddies like that, they work very good for me. I have a thought, why not build a shallow box for your red top furnace door and put a mirror and an orange LED bulb inside, when you open the shutters on the door it will look like the fire in the fire box, you can still hang it on the wall

[@ScoutCrafter]

Cool idea! 😃👍

[@prasadvn524]

Thanks for the video.I never knew such tools existed

[@kylekyleson373]

Hey Scout, my Dad had one of those fans. He called it a Hassock Fan. Also the Arco book brought back a few memories from when I was a younger man studying to take tests for a New York City job. I took several and had a great career working for CUNY.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! Many were advertised as hassock fans especially with padded tops! 😃👍

[@hester781]

What an awesome show! My favorite would have to be the floor fan. I can’t wait to see that thing all cleaned up! I happened to notice the word Waltham in the manual for that watch makers threading die, fun fact I am third generation, born and raised in Waltham Massachusetts, and have been to the watch factory dozens of times, you would love it!

I don't know where to start, so this is free association time! My Uncle Henry worked at Leviton on Long Island for most of his life! I still have a bunch of switches that he put together! The house I had in Richland PA, had a perfect knob and tube wiring system. It was like brand new! In Brooklyn, my Polish Granpa taught me about burners! Coal! I remember the water glass that had to be watched and the coal ash that had to be taken out in a bucket! I didn't learn Oil burners until later! Oil was on Long Island! There's probably noone under 40 that has a clue how to mainta8n burners! Anyway, Great video!

Thanks John, another great mosh, it seems we love all the same things, I love the air circulator it remind see of the bakelite Art Deco fan heater my Gran had, we used to sit around this eating toast with home made jam with her into the 80s, I feel privileged to have had older grandparents. Thanks for the maintenance advice on the clamp, I have a number of NOS that I need to maintain ! Seems you've provoked a reaction on the screws, on a classic piece of furniture or household fittings I'm slotted all the way, anything else happy with anything, preferably a Torx or hex to avoid cam-out !

My favorite screw to use for building is Torx, they are amazing. However for small projects and boxes and such slotted screw’s just look so cool. 😃👍

[@57WillysCJ]

I am shocked that you didn't grab that surface grinder. That is a sweet piece. Never saw a bench model. That circular fan would have been the spot every teenage boy set a girl in a Marlyn Monroe skirt. As to the boiler, I knew the big ones from Kewanee Boiler. I know the radiators took up space but where it's cold, the only thing that is close to the warmth is a wood burning stove. You never suffered chills in a room with a radiator, bluss you could dry clothing, hats, mittens, socks, towels. Radiant floor heat just can't accomplish that. About 10 years ago people with outdoor wood boilers were buying the old radiators for scrap prices, taking them to a professional powder coater. Of course they sand blast before coating and then powder coated. A lot of colors available and durable without that old paint buildup.

I really liked that jewelers die, surface grinder, and ruger drill but my favorite was that drain snake. Yeah none of the corporations give away anything, they all prefer to spend their ad money on digital. For people with an attention span of ten seconds. I think they are really missing the mark. I was in a house last week that had knob and tube still in use. If I have to use a slotted screw I run a phillips in first and the swap in a slotted. Those books were great, meant to share knowledge for generations. Great score on that fan.

And that super unique looking hammer inside the building on the table.

[@timeflysintheshop]

I have never seen a floor air circulator, or if I have seen one, I had no idea what it was! The air circulator may need lubricated, but as for the run down, it has blades biting the air to slowing it down. A motor with nothing on the shaft will have a much longer run down since there is no work being done.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Sometimes the weight of the blades will aide in extending run down, you can almost tell when a motor is dry just from the sound, the start up and run down. This one really seems to be crying for service. 😂👍
