Long Island Tool Meet- Estwing Rare Hammer, Powdered Glue, Valve Handles, Homemade DeBurring Tool?

Special Thanks to all the great people at our meets

[@dagwood1327]

I’m not a collector but let me show you my collection of valve handles. 😂😂

[@aljacobson9525]

We used Neetsfoot Oil to oil baseball gloves when I was growing up😀

[@robertlevine2152]

ScoutCrafter, When I was a kid, many years ago, Neatsfoot Oil was the way you softened and worked baseball gloves. Bob

[@joemoach832]

Great mosh. Can’t wait to see that screwdriver and chisel restored.

[@19Bmiller]

First, I would love to see the screwdriver not just restored but made fancy. I too think the wrench had a factory bend in the handle. Seeing the leather oil was from Yonkers reminded me of a story. A neighbor of mine was an Albany born son. He told me that years before he was in boot camp when the sarge had everyone yell out where they were from. From across the room, he heard someone yell Upstate New York. Afterwards he found the guy and asked him where he was from. The guy said Yonkers.

[@mazdarific1726]

I collected some of these valve handles from my wife’s grandparents property and welded round bar and threaded the ends and painted the handles and make metal art flowers for her

[@JeffMartin89]

Itd be so neat to see the valve handles all cleaned up and painted to be the stars in a large custom American flag. Great mosh!

[@Brian-Burke]

John, my wife and I moved from our house in Wilmington, Delaware last year. It was so well-made. Built in 1963 and had a few of those valves you showed. One of the most satisfying projects I ever did was rebuilding them by reseating the valve seat (forgive me if I misremember the correct terms), repacking the nut and just an overall maintenance on them. Don't get me wrong, the modern quarter-turns are the best, but I was able to add at least another decade to them.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Brian- I believe those older valves can last a lifetime! 😃👍

[@Brian-Burke]

@@ScoutCrafter Agreed!

[@jodydoakes8754]

70 years ago I put neatsfoot oil on a new ball glove to soften it up. My dad always had a can of neatsfoot oil at the ready. Thanks for the videos and the memories. Really enjoy your channel.

[@smithtown6589]

Neatsfoot oil takes me back to being a kid and getting a baseball glove. Oiling the glove with Neatsfoot oil to soften it up a bit, putting a baseball in the center and wrapping the glove fingers with rubber bands around the ball to form the pocket. And every now and then when the glove showed some wear, re-applying the Neatsfoot oil. BTW, neat was the old English word for cow so this is really cow’s foot oil. What a beautiful smell on leather! Good seeing you at the show.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ralph- Nothing like the smell of a new glove. 😃👍

[@timeflysintheshop]

Your "not collection" of valve handles is sweet! Though I did not see an oval style in that bunch. The salvage place I go has a bunch of nice old handles, but they want $5 each!

[@rawbacon]

First thing that came to mind was a pull through knife sharpener. I really like that beefy little round valve handle. Did a fair amount of commercial plumbing, used quite a few rather large valves over the years.

[@patrickmeyer1967]

i have a " not a collector" collection of valve handles mostly from 35 years as a plumber. i took one of the medium sized ones ( about 9 in dia) and some 80 lbs fishing line and made a wind chime. If i need one I cut it out and tie the rest back

[@John-ij4fo]

Good evening, John, Yes you are correct about the deburring tool. My father was a tool and die maker. I used to see him use that tool all the time. Have a great week.

[@Joseph-ef5mh]

Great show today, Scoutcrafter. I do enjoy seeing video of the Long Island Tool Meet. It looks like a great time. Looking forward to the screwdriver and chisel restoration. Take care.

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

We always used neatsfoot oil to help break in a new baseball glove. Especially a catchers mitt.

[@troymilleraz]

Digging the Superman style forehead hair curl at 19:36 🙂

[@richardross7219]

Nice Meet. Zagray is this coming weekend. Good Luck, Rick

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rick I should be there Saturday morning! Hope to see you there!!!

[@kifhurlbut]

For the handles, get a flower box and use expanding foam for dirt. Then maybe a flexible wire for stems and you have a valve handle garden.

[@paulsworkshop4179]

Full mosh today. We got our money’s worth! Can’t wait to see all the screwdrivers.

[@snapringchronicles3020]

Good seeing you at the tool meet. The SK is a pretty nice find👀

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rich- June!

[@patjohnson3100]

Interesting mosh. That tool meet looks like a great place to find what you need to fill in gaps in your tool sets. I've never seen an Estwing hammer like that. I've always appreciated their high quality tools. Those beautiful, quality valves remind me of the two crummy Chinesium valves I need to replace. I've never seen a deburring tool like that, which is why is subscribe to the channel. I always learn something new.

[@13thworker45]

John , I don’t think there is anything you don’t have a collection of. The handles reminded me of some old brass sprinkler heads I had for a system. I believe I gave them to someone restoring an old home. Great show, thank You

[@troyb1733]

John the glue reminds me of wallpaper paste from the 70's.

[@ScoutCrafter]

It’s about the same strength too! 🫣😂👍

[@bigvicsworkshop]

That SK ratchet is nice! Outstanding Monday Show! Thank ya Mr. John

[@josephwatts925]

Another great show, ScoutCrafter. That S&K Shorty is over the top and I have one of those all metal screwdrivers --- somewhere. The spanner; I would not straighten that out. You scared me when you talked of that neatsfoot oil as medicinal, then you said it was for rough skin. One swig of that stuff and it would keep you "in house" for a long time.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂😂😂

[@larrynelson734]

Hi John. I love when you show those tool meets. Wish I could have made a screwdriver for the challenge. But been in bad health lately. I really miss getting out in the shop 😢. Have a great day. 👍👍❤...

[@ScoutCrafter]

Feel better Larry!

[@brandong1990]

These valve handles are a great addition to a nice bottle jack for the release so you don't need a tool to let the jack down and it gives you more control and confidence when letting a jack down

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Great episode, I always like you "field trips". Love all the stuff you picked up. I've been watching other guys videos and they have made some really neat screwdrivers for your challenge. The ingenuity is off the charts, thanks again for the challenge and I look forward to the video to see others work. See you Wednesday.

[@wyattoneable]

The display of handles looked like a flower garden. You purchased some nice tools too.

[@beerdrinker6452]

I am sure you do not need my ideas, but here goes. Plywood painted like the U.S. flag, valve handles as 50 stars. I do not think the handles would have to be all white. Great video. I thought you had a homemade scissors sharpener. Beautiful screwdriver project in the works. Looks very beefy. Great video.

[@jackthompson2132]

You had a nice haul! Interesting items. I can’t wait to see what you do with the screwdriver you got from Roger and Mike. Thank You for sharing the Long Island tool meet with us.

[@andyc972]

Thanks for. taking us along to the tool meet John, looks a lot of fun. I spotted that chisel on the $ table too, that's a good handful of steel, I also. like the look of the old keyhole saw too ! That bent wrench does look a bit too perfect in its wonky-ness I'm inclined to agree with you ! Looking forward to see what you do with the Estwing it's an interesting design ! I bought some of the Neatsfoot oil a few years ago to soften up some leather nail pouches and pliers holster that were too stiff to use, I got it from a local saddlery as they use it on the tack - like you I couldn't resist getting the bigger tin for not much more so I've probably got enough for two lifetimes - definitely not one for Vegans !

[@wowzers0_070]

Man, I have to move to a high trust community. Nobody ever has things like this in my neighborhood.

[@garageshopminnesota]

I love the weight forward Estwing hammers. I have a restoration video coming out soon of my weight forward hammer. Found at the flea market for $10.

[@danohstoolbox]

I wish they had more tool shows around my aria

[@TomGunnTools]

Sorry I missed the LI tool meet seemed like a good one. I use neatsfoot oil several times a year on my belts and shoes. Works great on baseball gloves to break them in. That’s a great SK ratchet, very useful size, I reach for that one 9/10 times. That one sounded dry,clean it out and put some super lube you won’t be disappointed!

[@dhroen]

You're right--you have stopped buying tools so that you can purchase them.

[@johnkelley9877]

This was a great Mosh with a lot of interesting tool. I hope you will do the metal screwdriver restoration next, it looks neat. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jacobb.]

I thought you did a fancy herbrand screwdriver before. Every side had a different candy paint right? Maybe I'm crazy. Looked like fun time at show.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! Good memory!!!

[@jeffreykindron7162]

John, I believe you are correct with that being an offset spanner wrench.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

The valve handles, maybe make a flower bouquet of metal flowers out of them. Refurbish and paint them, reds, blue, orange, green, browns and mount them on metal rods that pass through the holes and screw them on.🐞

[@setdown2]

Great show...can't wait to see all the drivers...from the few I've seen so far there's going to be some beauties...🖖

[@stephendoherty1275]

Nice deburring tool, but I thing you're dragging it backwards... Try dragging the sharp ends in the front to cut the burr off.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’ll have to try that- I was afraid it would dig in. 😃👍

[@ianbutler1983]

Neatsfoot oil is the best for the leather in your old Coleman lantern and stove pumps. A few days soaking it it rejuvenates the leather.

[@lv_woodturner3899]

I love the eggbeater powered brace Mike was demonstrating. I would have had to get this to take home. I do not need it, but it is so unusual. I will now be looking out for one. Dave.

[@ScoutCrafter]

They are quite rare! 😃👍

[@metalwork.]

👍 always interesting

[@alexstools]

Looks like that show was good fun!

[@michaellindsay8934]

Fantastic show, looking forward to the restorations. Thanks for sharing your expertise

[@christophermorgan7600]

What a great video again John, thank you! 🇬🇧

[@bradlung5381]

Hey John, not sure I caught it on video well enough but it appeared that the spanner wrench casting marks were straight and therefore maybe, like you said, the wrench was made that way. Then again I may have not seen it correct. Crappy KZbin quality here in Canada lol.

[@nebraskarancher9099]

HEY JOHN!!!! TRY a big spoon of the Neatsfoot Oil on your toast in the morning.......It will be good for what ales you!

[@ScoutCrafter]

😳🫣😂

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Got a short ratchet like that I love it the valve handle collection looks like a project all by it self but I like them myself any hardware gets me going even if finding a useable nut or bolt on the ground

[@lotsatrains]

Great show and very nice items and I thought that de burring tool was a knife sharpener at first 😆

[@billmccabe9601]

A lot of cool informative mis-moshed for us today. That deburr tool would be great for your PVC box projects.

[@carrollmontgomery]

I bought a lamp that used the 27W bulb you showed. It worked really well for a few years before it finally broke. I hope I can find another one like that sometime.

[@tomdale1313]

thxs for sharing, Hi Pipes...see ya Wednesday

[@357magdad]

One of those valve handles would make a cool stubby screwdriver...

[@patrickmeyer1967]

that is a cool idea. i have an interchangeable bit driver i made from a ceramic door knob that works really well.

[@Reggyontheroad]

Gotcha

[@paulwatson8809]

Instead of a faucet display board, take some dowels, tubes and wire, paint them green and attach them to the faucet handles. Display your new faucet flowers in a vase.

[@57WillysCJ]

Some guy's carry a rourway sillcock key. John carries a ring with handles of various sizes. Eastern jinglebobs. 🤣🤣

[@ROD59]

John, amazing stuff my favorite is the Sk ratchet , i just love them. I think you hit another gold vein with those cut away, you should make more

[@rok1341]

Powdered glue "Hello, I'm Mr. Ed"

[@DonaldLayton-xc1px]

The valve stem at 8:15 should be lifted up and placed above the orfice, if that is what it is called.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Donald- You are absolutely correct!!! I didn’t even notice that!!! Fantastic observation there. 😃👍

[@MrPhil1969]

I've never seen a stubby SK ratchet like that. As far as the spanner wrench, that's bent from a cheater bar that was pretty decent diameter larger. I'm guessing someone was trying to losen a packing gland nut on a hydraulic cylinder. I had one bend very similar to that trying that task. The larger diameter pipe would make the handle roll up like that. I never did get the packing nut undone and wrecked my wrench in the process.

[@tonylenge424]

You are probably right about the deburring tool. Very interesting episode and the assortment of handles would make a great display. Did you tally the JFK answers? The majority probably voted fishy. Thanks

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tony- Wednesday I will have the tally!

[@dennissmith224]

You should not touch high wattage bulbs with bare fingers , my father who was an an Electrical Engineer in the 40's -60's taught me that , I am an Mechanical and Civil Engineer and I will not touch any light bulb with my bare fingers , the oils from our fingers will be deposited on the light bulbs surface and the bulbs heat will heat the oil deposits and shorten the bulbs effective life . Car halogen bulbs have warnings to not handle the bulbs with bare hands . Info from a long time Scout Crafter fan .

[@ahernplays2239]

I mean I have a guess what that little home made tool is for but I have been watching videos of people who make videos working with machines in a garage or home shop environment. I'd wager it's a tool for a hacksaw or whatever those hand saws with the small thin blades are called. Something kind of like those guides for band saws that someone made because they kept breaking small fragile handsaw blades. Edit: I didn't know those wheels were carbide cutting wheels. 😂 Guess I learned something.

[@alansmith4734]

9:39 I had the weirdest thought for that screwdriver. Traditional Homes had black & white tile entryways, so the screwdriver should be painted 2 black & 2 white sections in the handle. Scout Crafter Style!

[@stevewalker7822]

John, I think the spanner wrench is factory bent

[@lundysden6781]

Id leave the handles like they are and mount them!

[@binnsbrian]

I think the bent wrench was used as a pry bar.

[@Bloodshed.restorations]

Interesting video, I'm a fan of Neatsfoot too but thought it was just a name, think I might try it on the wife's feet now😂

[@jonathanacton5133]

I want to see the screwdriver and the spanner wrench restored

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

Isn't so fitting that for someone that loves the past so much that he has a vintage email address. There can't be too many people with an AOL address anymore. John, do you have a bedroom full of the AOL Online CDs that were always in the mail?

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂😂😂. The funny thing is back in the day you could get a one word email, today it would be Bicycleguy38754 😂😂

[@keithwelch3246]

I would have included a putty knife. I use mine every day.

[@sebglayburg5163]

Hey, John, it looks like the plumber's truck ran over the wrench ...

[@hoghunter6872]

You are really stock up hey my old Amish school desk very nice

[@Roadkillstew]

damn those prices are awesome. here in illinois they want to make their mortgage on 1 sale.

[@rickcentore2801]

I wonder if dragging the deburring tool the opposite way would cut the edge better.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’ll try!

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

Accumulating is code for collecting. Let’s not split hairs.

[@Ricopolico]

Scout, were the Patina Boys at that tool meet?

[@ScoutCrafter]

😂😂😂

[@gerard_3864]

Yeah restore that screwdriver and the cold chisel please.

[@bobk.1428]

I’m surprised that that valve you did the cut a way on has a blue knob and not one that’s ScoutCrafter red

[@samfeldman1508]

Do you glue up both surfaces?

[@ScoutCrafter]

I did Sam but this powdered glue just isn’t like our modern stuff. 😃👍

[@matthewhopkins666]

Everything electrical these days uses less power but my power bill only ever seems to go up.

[@tramtoby]

I think it's a knife sharpener.

[@paulstuard7988]

That's a knife sharpener

[@ScoutCrafter]

Knife sharpeners have rotating discs

[@alanr4263]

U know where he learned to fire that Weapon?

[@mikejones5358]

I’m a mechanic and a tool collector and I love sk ratchets what is the number on that shorty ratchet so I can find one please
