Perfect Little Ball Peen...

[@patjohnson3100]

Beautifully restored hammers. Another great video. I dont use the thumbs down button because I can tell if, from my perspective, a video is not useful. If it's no good, I'll go to another channel right away. The thumbs down button has almost no use unless you say why you've given the video a thumbs down. Thumbs down may mean anything from someone who wants to maintain the used condition of a tool to someone who is just mean spirited. The thumbs down may have nothing to do with the skills demonstrated. I dont pay attention to thumbs down. Thanks for helping the little animals during Thanksgiving. A nice gesture. Birds in our area really like the suet I put out in the winter. Keeps me busy refilling feeders. I thought birds here would also like the millet mix with other seeds, but they dont. Their hands down favorite is black oil sunflower seeds. Thanks

[@13thworker45]

Nice restoration on the hammers. You must be related to Ellie May from the Beverly hillbillies. All the animals from horses cats dog and all the bird family’s get fed before we do . Yesterday there was 30 ducks in our back yard , probably 75-100 hummers , dove ,black birds, red wing black birds and a lot more. We have to be careful of our low flying friends. Thank You

[@ricksolari9570]

No dislikes is equivalent to abolishing the red pen. There are lots of fragile egos out there to protect.

[@TheSuperwrenchGarage]

Saturday morning coffee and a Scoutcrafter video👍

[@Ricopolico]

Can't dislike something? No wonder this world is going to hell in a handbasket. Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday.

[@adude7050]

Funny I was thinking today that the ball pin would make a nice shorty. Happy Thanks Giving Every One.

[@donaldallison]

No need for a dislike button on the ScoutCrafter channel.

[@WVCountryBoy101]

My grandpa ran a antique store for years, and passed away last summer, he has literally a ton and a half of old tools, record player, furniture, you name it, in storage, a few things I've been fortunate enough to restore, and keep myself, always loved checking out his work and hearing his stories, when we got to spend time together, and check out his restorations. You can bet he is turning the crank on a ol Victrola in heaven right now, putting a smile on everyones face, as that needle makes that one and only scratching sound, as it does when making contact with vinyl, right before playing some old classic, that has been forgotten in time, but a known melody to those around him now, love you poppaw.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I bet your Grandfather had some fantastic stories and a great time collecting all sorts of cool stuff!

[@ROD59]

John, this are the times we are living in this culture , they don't want to upset some sensitive flowers in society nowadays so they eliminated the dislike button so no matter what crap someone post is all about not hurting someone feelings , let's give everybody a diploma for just showing up

[@louragusa834]

John, you took the words out of my mouth. If I was to leave a comment I would just have to copy and paste yours. Just another form of censorship, partition trophies for everyone. I don't think that I have ever left a bad review, but don't take away my option to do so.

[@larrydemaar409]

The ball peen hammer turned out great. A certain liberal party complained about all the dislikes that they were getting, so KZbin jumped right on it and eliminated dislikes.

[@paulsawczyc5019]

Exactly what I suspected.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

The ratio of "likes to dislikes" was insanely high in favor of dislikes! This is fascism and totalitarianism in the flesh!

[@jackthompson2132]

Great video. Have a great thanksgiving. Thank You for sharing

[@americansewingmachineresto1545]

John, you just made me piss my pants. My copy of the basics of fractional horsepower motors and repairs just came in the mail a few days ago. Glad I jumped on it right away. Between Randy’s and your channels, these books will be sold out very soon. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@metrofarmer913]

Thankful to watch your channel regularly. Happy Thanksgiving

[@highdownmartin]

I’ve noticed that too, watching lots of stuff most of the time, usually for projects or jobs that I’m earmarking stuff for. Then you get sent a buy it now offer that tips the balance like you say. I’ve bought a few things recently that way that probably would have just ended and sunk without trace. Nice coal pick!

[@littlepaddy7444]

Great restorations and thanks for the ebay tip. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@tonylenge424]

Another great video. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@jpsimon206]

You keep giving away all the best eBay secrets! You're screwing us all over

[@andys4378]

Regarding the dislike button. It doesn't matter on your channel because there is nothing to dislike.

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

I think a non-registering dislike button keeps the Haters from spoiling the channel. Ignorance can be cured, haters hate, and stupid is forever. The secrets of life in one sentence.

[@tonysheerness2427]

Nothing better than looking out of the window and seeing all the wild life feeding. We do not have racoons or possums, we have squirrels, hedgehogs, rabbits and all sorts of birds, they are a joy to watch. Now if you have a dispute with the energy companies they can switch you off without even coming to your door. Modernisation.

[@ihrescue]

HaHa I paused it too and now I am looking for a copy of Basics of Fractional Horsepower Motors and Repairs but haven't come up with one yet. Great looking short handled ball-peen hammer. I have never hit the dislike button and when I see where someone has disliked a KZbin it rarely makes sense. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

[@markeholbrook]

Grannies coal hammer was a sledge hammer and a pick axe. Some of the coal blocks were over 2x2 feet.

[@terrysmith4465]

Beautiful

[@bigmikeh5827]

Another great job. Love the work on the head and the paint. Stay safe

[@rawbacon]

That Sneaky Old Patina was hiding a lot of Pitting...............Looks like you got a Lifetime Supply of Acetate Handles now and a nice assortment.

[@markfirth1926]

Happy Thanksgiving John. I am grateful for you, your shop wisdom, humor and the community you helped to create around tools. Bless you and all the critters. Mark

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Happy Thanksgiving John. Thank you for the great shoutout. The motor book is a great go to in the shop. Your channel is great and you do a wonderful job on the restos. The ball peen is just one perfect example. I love the jeweling. I might have to steal that idea.

[@prasadvn524]

Beautiful outcome.Love the jewelling

[@markgeorge3960]

Appreciate you caring for the wildlife!

[@garylee3401]

This one came out great too. I am really impressed, not just with the heads but the handles also. I was really expecting them to get replaced with new wooden handles. The backstory to this Ball Pein is a bit dull really. I can remember it from the previous house so going back to early 60's, then later it was at the new property. It got used on repairing the car (hence the oil /dirt) and very occasional light duty around the house and garden. Because it was smaller/lighter it was mostly overlooked and sat in bottom of the drawer. The heavier hammers got used mainly, some of those got really beat up ! Thanks again John. The smart meters over here in UK are quite flimsy looking compared to those, I have refused to have one so far.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Gary- I didn’t want new meters but if I refused they would charge me $100 a month for a meter reader to come read my meters. Thanks again!!!! 😃👍

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Great video, thanks for pointing out the book on electric motors. I use the same philosophy in ordering older practical knowledge books that have been recommended. Thanks.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

You did a nice transfomation of the ball peen hammer. Great.Thanks.

[@zipshed]

Now that was quite a transformation! Great to hear you take care of the animals...if everyone did the world would be a better place!

[@shedmanx3640]

A really nice hammer mate. It’s always the mark of a good man, who is kind to animals. You have my respect.

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Those really look nice . Love the machine finish.

[@negotiableaffections]

A happy thanksgiving to you John.

[@scottstoolthoughts3190]

I pause the video and go to eBay almost every time I watch your videos, Sir! 😆

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL Scott- I would love to hit a tool show with you, the fun we would have!

[@scottstoolthoughts3190]

@@ScoutCrafter DEFINITELY! One of these days…

[@furionese]

I can still see the like/dislike ratio bar on thumbnail though (I can't remember which tool I installed, something to do with developers utility), but once I'm "inside" the video the dislike number is hidden. So to me it hasn't affected me much. I'm just trying to absorb as much good information as I can while this platform is afloat.

[@jimjohnston7688]

Turned out so nice. As a teenager I would hang my blue jeans over the furnace to help them dry.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Jim- Here in my house that furnace was always a warm spot you could dry things and warm things up too!

[@nicknicoletti9778]

Everyone now wants a like. Other creators constantly suggesting during their videos “ make sure to hit that like button.” But if they happen to make a horrible video or subject, I think they’d like to know so they won’t go there again. But what do I know. I just watch videos, I don’t make any. And wonderful restoration on that little ball pean hammer. I have a couple tool bags for work and home and both have a small ball pean in them. My favorite go to tool. Great video!

[@nicknicoletti9778]

Also forgot to say happy thanksgiving. And I feed the animals in my area as well. Constantly. Especially my Trixie she’ll get a few special things on thanksgiving !

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tomorrow will be a wonderful day for my critters- They will really be happy. 😃👍

[@tonyholt90]

Always impressive, but that Hammer was brilliant 👍

A little heads up SC. When they put my smart meters in, they charged me $1200 for the installation. I was really PO'd. Hammer turned out really nice.

[@planejet42]

Have a great Thanksgiving, John!

[@stephencresswell4760]

A made a short handled hammer for my daughter to use in the garage. Used a handle from on of my dad’s old hammers. It’s now my most used hammer in the garage. 👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stephen- I think it's one of the best kept secrets in the shop! Everyone loves using a short handled hammer! =D

[@paintnamer6403]

Well they still have the thumbs up and down so any creator that is not sensitive can still experience reality. You definitely get a thumbs up!

[@plasteringwithAinz]

I use a hammer most days as a part of my plastering tool kit and it's great to see a real rough tool put back on the front line in good nick.

[@Resto-Rob]

You made a beautiful hammer. Looks great!

[@mitchjohnson4970]

Great restoration! No dislike button is the equivalent to participation trophies.

[@mikemorrison6023]

That is a fantastic job on that hammer!!

[@merlinsatrom6678]

It's really amazing what you can do with a pitted up hammer head! Nice work! Thanks for making your show so interesting - with the variety of subjects and walking around your shop!

[@d2indy]

Always nice to know the story behind a tool. Some of them are truly touching. Tools without a story are very sad. It's like an old house without an owner to care for it. So.... we have to give them a story! We could just make up some bs and call it a day but it is much more fun to weave a story out of actions, memories and, occasionally, band-aids. You do this very well. Nice hammer.

[@johnkelley9877]

Wow, what a transformation! The hammer looks great and the red paint and jeweling really set it off. Thanks for sharing this and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@foxwood67]

You can always tell the character of a man by how he treats anImals. Your a good man . Happy 🦃 day

[@Traderjoe]

I work for the electric company and there’s an area by our general shops where they dispose of the old meters and there’s a huge dumpster with thousands of them in there. I used to read meters when I started in the company. On some senior managers desks they’ll have a lamp that has a working electric meter in its base and it spins and the dials turn when the lights on. They are given out as a gift to them once they work a certain number of years. I always wanted to get one. A quick check on eBay and there are lots of these meter lamps for sale. I just saw a gas meter lamp too! Holy shit

[@TheSuperwrenchGarage]

Hey buddy Happy Thanksgiving. I give Thanks for ur videos I have. a black and decker drill 1/2 inch with the long pistol grip. I wanted to learn the history of it and u gave me what I needed to know thanks

I think hammers have become my favorites. The jeweling and the red make it look like Christmas 🎅 My wife and I feed animals like crazy too! Happy thanksgiving 🍁

[@62forged]

The jeweling is great. Really adds to the cool factor.

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Nice ball peen hammer john! I like the jeweling. My first attempt at jeweling came out so-so. Love that red on the head also. Ive watched Randy Richards for a while and that blue and red motor looked awesome. I watched where he completely had that motor apart! 👍🇺🇸Roger

Thank you for another enjoyable video I've been hooked since the beginning. Also have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

[@PapiDoesIt]

You can always count on KZbin to do the wrong thing.

[@mikeedwards6162]

Hi Scoutcrafter,great video as usual but I always like when you finish the show and talk about the animals that you have in your area many of which we don't have here in England,we do of course have many birds and I have 3 feeders that hold 5 fat suet balls a piece, a tub of 50 usually last a couple of weeks in the winter when there can be a dozen or so birds at the feeders all waiting their turn and as if queuing up whilst sitting in the tree branches of the back garden,our reward is to watch them feeding and to listen to the chirping especially the frenzy when Malcolm the cat from next door passes through whilst on his walkabouts,anyway the birds around here should be well plumped up to fend off the cold tonight as it drops below freezing.

[@ScoutCrafter]

The Suet is great because it slows down the feeding and more birds get a chance to eat. I just miss my trees! 😃👍

[@jamesstanley9839]

Awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing with us! Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day!

[@dbl6gun45]

Happy Thanksgiving John, I'm going to be spoiling all my animals too.

[@jimmacdonald9746]

Another great vid John . Not sure what to think about KZbin removing the dislike button , surely video creators would like honest feedback about their content . You could always just type dislike in the comments 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@TakeAmericaBack2010]

KZbin is run by radical liberal Democrats...everyone there gets a trophy.

[@kajem575]

I immediately came up w/ the same solution and use it. Watch it catch on now as others see and/or come up with it themselves.👍 🙂✌❤

I feed the animals too - but I learned to do it far from the house, otherwise you can get fleas and allergies.

With all the thanksgiving preparation smells in the house I drifted off while you were showing the finished hammer and wondered how wonderful your shop must smell. Paint,shellac, oil burner, abrasives etc. happy thanksgiving! Oh 50/50 too don’t be stingy!!!

[@GuntersGarage]

Wow that little guy turned out great!

[@alexstools]

That hammer came out great. Only wish I could pop them out that fast. Need to practice more I guess. I'm busy with my cabinet building now. Hope that'll sort out some of my storage issues so I can go back to enjoying the restorations a bit more while being more organized. Hope you'll have a great Thanksgiving!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Alex- You are smart! Don’t let the disorganization get ahead of you like it did me, almost impossible to catch up! 😃👍

[@waltsmith1305]

I'm currently in a short holding pattern on the little projects as Im also doing the cabinets /shelves thing. I promised myself some organization before I continue. It's obvious I have a problem and as long as there are cool 100 year old tools for less than 5 or 10 bucks it's only gonna get worse. Just remember someone has to "Save the old tools". They really don't make em like that anymore.

[@alexstools]

@@waltsmith1305 I'm thinking the same way. I'm being careful not to look because if I find something I will buy. If you have filled buckets on the floor like me... I think I got an issue at that point 😂

[@greghomestead8366]

It wouldn't surprise me if KZbin got rid of the thumbs down because a certain sleepy guy who lives in a certain colored house got mad because of the overwhelming thumbs down. That said... I love the hammer restoration video. And yes I follow Randy Richard in the shop, very enjoyable series the table saw was. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan. PS... Another bad thing about no thumbs down. if you're looking to do a task and want to see a video on how to do it you won't be able to skip the ones that weren't very informative and go to the good videos on whatever subject you're looking up.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

I think you are right about the thumbs down Greg, They are worried about offending people
