Walsco Utility Knife Makeover and Fun With Your Angle Grinder.

[@tonylenge424]

You are right about the Woodworking Show. They are great shows, been going for years. The seminars are worth the price of admission and then some. The jeweling makes that knife look like a million bucks. Thanks

[@uktony1525]

The utility knife looks superb and the jewelling is spectacular. You mentioned that you didn't want the videos to be too long. As long as you like as far as I am concerned, they are a highlight of my day.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks Tony!

[@ROD59]

John, we can't get enough of the videos, I don't care how long they are

[@waynemiracle8928]

Your videos are NOT too long! I LOVE watching your episodes! I really look forward to seeing each one of them. Congratulations on a such a outstanding job on the knife! I love everything you did to it! Perfect

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks Wayne!!! 😃👍

[@patjohnson3100]

Thanks for the angle grinder tips. I plan to get one soon. Your explanations on the proper use of tools help make your videos useful ---not to mention fun. Picture of Nadler was too funny!

[@ScoutCrafter]

[@rawbacon]

Angle grinder is one of the best power tools ever invented, spending several years working with structural steel and other various steel fabrication I must've spent hundreds of hours using an angle grinder. I'll never forget the day we mounted a circular saw blade on an angle grinder to get some wood cut out of the way in a pinch trying to get the job done at the end of the day., talk a *Death Wheel,* had that thing kicked back it would have torn someone's face off!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Raw Bacon Isn’t it funny how when we do stuff like that in the back of our minds we think “This is not a good idea”

[@paintnamer6403]

I hope that isn't why you have the name Raw Bacon! lol

[@rawbacon]

@@paintnamer6403 I happy to report there were no injuries and we got the job done.

[@rawbacon]

@@ScoutCrafter I did many things that seemed crazy at the time and now seem downright foolish but I still look back on those days very fondly......Everyday was such an adventure and I'm glad I did it.

[@Sawtooth70]

Beautiful job on the utility knife. I love the jeweling and the red. 👍🏼

[@daveogarf]

OUTSTANDING! Jeweling, huh? I LOVE that effect, ScoutCrafter! Hot rod/car crafter people sometimes use that on instrument panels and such-like. They call it "engine turning". The "Tri-Five" (1955, '56, '57) Thunderbirds featured engine turned instrument panels. Super effect! The "High Water trousers" joke was PRICELESS!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Dave Didn’t the Sprit If Saint Lewis have a turned Cowell?

[@357magdad]

The jeweled finish looks great!

[@mtprus]

just about lost it at 4:19 when Jerry Nadler made an appearance.

[@thunderstruck1078]

Yes!

[@cindiberg7718]

Of course we want to watch your stuff! That's why we keeping tuning in.

[@tommiller5014]

love the jeweling on that knife. It's a great way to dress up a piece and hide minor surface imperfections. However, no amount jeweling is going to fix Jerry Nadler. You may need to grind it off!!!

[@Silent.Stacker]

You do a great job at engine turning. I remember your video where you went over it in detail. You should show more of it in your videos. Maybe after watching you do it over and over, some of us would be able to muster the courage to try it ourselves. Really nice job on this one.

[@suhairimahmood1984]

I always appreciate how to tend to keep your videos under 20 mins... I know its alot of work to keep your content under 20 min i really appreciate it.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I am trying to cut it down to 10-12... You are so right, it's hard but there is so much stuff to see out there! I'm with you! Thanks!

[@g-palloyd3600]

The “Jeweling” really looks nice. I remember when you did it before, but don’t remember how you did it. (old age I guess! LOL) show us again sometime. ?!?!??

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Lloyd - Yes! We are all due for a refresher! Thanks!

[@isoguy.]

Not old age my friend, the vid that covered jeweling was a lifetime ago and I'm not that old. Great vid though.

[@condensermike]

Wow, great advice in this video in regards to the angle grinder. I have always been spooked by these tools. I think I can go to HF and pick up the cheap one to practice with.

[@TomGunnTools]

I agree the angle grinder is a great tool but I often go for it after I already wasted a lot of time on the belt sander. I need to remember to use it earlier in the process! Jeweling looked amazing!

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

Your videos could be an hour long and I would still watch. I enjoy them all. Your videos are the first thing I look for when sitting down at home after work.

[@markrandall1456]

I wore my pants way up there when I was a kid. The neighbor called me "high pockets." Good tips on the angle grinder.. I love all the utility knife varieties that are out there. Another quality job, John. From the summit of Tater Nob in Parker County, TX - Thanks for the fun. :-)

[@civicboomer2135]

Very nice one the Walsco knife. Looks like someone overtightened the screw by the dip in the casting. That probably caused the loose blade. BTW you can search Scoutcrafter on his videos.The episode is Double take Junior... Cratex on 02/9/19 yes about a year ago. Love your videos. Learning a lot and buying a lot of cool old tools!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Thanks so much for finding that video! I forgot what video that was! =D Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@Brooklyn-bn5go]

I've been restoring one of my cars, an '83 Cutlass wagon, this week I'm patching rust and cutting new parts to fit. Well, I came inside to take a break from what was 3 hours of angle grinder "fun" and turned on KZbin to my favorite channel and had myself a busman's holiday! Thanks for the video JN, you turned that knife into a true HotRod! And by the way, we all want to see more from you this is some of the best content on YT.

Don't have to be short, you are right about there being much on KZbin but you are an all time favorite! I can't watch five minutes of a big guy like handtoolrescue, and think he's got nothing on Scoutcrafter and just give up on it. Everything has to go in my house when one of your videos comes up. That knife turned out really pretty. I tought of those old Russian medals right away when I saw it!

SO when can I become a "good friend of the show"?

[@mgwood558]

Feel sorry for Nadler and his wife who was recently Dx'd with cancer. Not fair.

[@Ricopolico]

That's a good looking utility knife, Scout! Now to stick my nose into someone else's business. I would recommend using a full-face grinding shield when you pick up an angle grinder. I've always worn prescription eyeglasses with safety lenses so I felt invulnerable until some time ago when a grinding spall smaller than a poppy seed found its way to my eyeball. The ophthalmologist said I was lucky because another millimeter and it would have landed on the optical center effectively blinding me in that eye. I went right from his office to the welding supply house and bought a face shield.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I always wear a face shield when using a cut-off disc...! They can explode! Good point... Thanks!

[@saigaking]

Absolutely great video scout would love to see some footage of the show Hope it’s a good turn out .sow good to see our favourite tools the Stanley vice And angle grinder so good the safety blade came up amazing they are such A nice little restoration to do love aluminium polishes up great 👍 God bless take care 🇺🇸👏🇳🇿🙏👍

[@negotiableaffections]

Lightness of touch with an angle grinder - you make it look easy, but a grinder is a beast and, as you say, one slip! On the Walsco knife, could you fill in over the red, using some clear 5min epoxy applied with a cocktail stick to create a deep enamel effect? Knife looks superb btw.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Keith awesome idea!!!!

[@wayneo7307]

Hi John , Love My Angle Grinder Had It A Long Time Slide On off Switch . Just Got A Paddle Switch One for Christmas . Can't Wait to Use It . Like the Idea of Variable Speed .

Hey Scout, I've had luck with some angle grinder polishing stones from harbor freight. Number 65287. 40 grit to 600 grit. The stones are more forgiving to new users than flap discs or wheels I feel like. Great video.

[@jessicagreene1773]

Fred Merz and Nadler made me spit my coffee out I laughed so hard!

[@AaronBelknap]

at 2:05, I don't think so John. I look forward to your video's and don't look at how long they are. Angle grinders = respect. My first one is a 4" grinder not as strong as the bigger ones. I love flap wheels. The worn out ones are good to work with. I sharpen lawn mower blades etc. But they can remove a chunk of material quickly. I loved that utility knife. Jeweling is an awesome technique for metals. I love it.

[@drstrangefart]

Hanging on to your old flappy wheels is a good idea for restoration work. Getting in there with a brand new 40 grit flappy wheel can eaaily remove way more material than you wanted to.

[@stephenbridges2791]

Great show. You were right! Absolutely LOVE that single blade utility and what you were able to do with it. Only thing; it's almost too nice to use. I figure someone, in the past, torqued a blade while they were using it and got it out of line. This may be my favorite restore that you've done. Simply an outstanding job.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stephen- The polishing showed all the defects... Jeweling turned out to be just the right fix! 😃👍

[@JohnDaker_singer]

[@leebrewer1190]

Russian medals and showing the penguin himself - turning commie on us John? 😄 Very well done tutorial on using the flap discs etc. 👍🏻 What I like about your teaching is you are one of the VERY few sources whose advice actually DOES help a newbie know what to look for and avoid to minimize mistakes. Explaining the feel, hold, contact of the wheel with the tool in detail, plus the birdseye view was the mark of a master teacher IMO. You have the (un)common sense/talent to know how to target what we will encounter in practice and help avoid it. I wish the majority of authors writing help books/manuals had been written by someone like you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Lee- It's funny because I have heard many people say they are scared of the angle grinder because it's dangerous but I never found that... When used correctly it is super safe! Unlike the radial arm saw! LOL

[@badbiker666]

I wanted an angle grinder for years. My needs were very limited, though, so I just couldn't justify the money. Even though they aren't expensive, I have to be able to predict how often I would use a tool, divide that number by the cost of the tool, and if the result is less than what I would be willing to pay to RENT a tool, I buy it. Well, I found myself in need of an angle grinder just too infrequently to arrive at the numbers I wanted. Then, one day I was looking for something else and found a guy selling an angle grinder on Craigslist for a price I could not pass up. It was a corded unit, and that's the reason he was selling it. Most people, it seems, want cordless tools. Well, I just didn't care about that, so I contacted him and two days later it was mine. It was a complete set, too, with a protective case, five or six wheels, and the tool needed to change the heads. And yes, it has the handle that you can affix to three sides to make any project more comfortable. It's old, it looks like hell, but it works perfectly and now I go around just looking for opportunities to use it.

[@timeflysintheshop]

I recently bought a Makita grinder. Then watched Stumpy Nubs video where his grinder attacked him. Made me physically ill seeing his injured hand. John could you do a full video teaching how to safely use this tool. I love your longer videos. I learn so much and it gives me the confidence to power up those scarey tools. I'd pay for a lesson.wish you lived closer.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Melissa! Yes I will! Next week!!!

[@thecatsupdog]

I think the angle grinder is like the second most dangerous home tool after ladders. I sent myself to the ER with one once.

[@ScoutCrafter]

catsupdog It all depends on the attachment you use and technique. Some attachments are very hard to handle! My worst accident was with the radial arm saw!

[@thecatsupdog]

@@ScoutCrafter You should mention safety and what happened with the saw in a video, if you havent already.

[@Traderjoe]

That utility knife came out be-utiful! Do you know what I was wondering about? Do they make a rubberized paint? Something you can paint on that adds cushioning and grip? Imagine if the inside of the knife had a rubberized blade compartment that silenced any rattle of the spare blades?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Joe- Some guys epoxy a small Neodymium magnet to one half of the knife and then the blades stay silent! =D

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That knife is SHARP and I don't mean just the tight blade either. A while back I bought a new go-devil or splitting maul or Collins axe or whatever you want to call it and of course the point was too thick and blunt for it to start a split right so I took it over to the boulder hole shop to grind it down.They have the big Milwaukee side grinders (6 or 8 inch) with no guards to work on the BIG stuff with. With a trigger switch setup and while I was grinding down the blunt part of the edge and having to shift the grinder around I was thinking that someone could get WRECKED very easy with this tool. The next week one of the grinder crew cut a finger off with one. Can't be too careful. Thanks John CS! Blessings!

Utility knife looks great. An angle grinder can also be dangerous to your body, especially when you are are using cut off wheels. I saw a guy using one in a body shop and the wheel exploded. He was lucky wearing a face shield. The wheel tore the face shield up. Be careful when using a hand grinder. Safety gear is a must with this tool.
