Go ahead and yap John. Really we dont mind at all!! 👍🇺🇸

love your critters having a safe place to be, txs for sharing...

Tom- The Opossum was MIA for a while I am so glad he’s back! 😃👍

[@rayleder3705]

I could watch tool meet footage all day!

Ray- I wish you were there. Like the rest of us you would be lightening your pockets of cash. 😂👍

Caution for anyone cleaning up a girl scout knife like this one. I bought one for my daughter who earned the Gold award. After cleaning the knife and sharpening it, I applied acetone to remove fingerprints and any oil residue. The green comes from a thin layer of paint under the clear scales. Acetone nicely removed all of the green paint, ruining the knife. I had to gently pry off the scales and apply some thinned out green spray paint and reattach the scales. It was OK, but not nearly as nice as it would have been if I had avoided the acetone.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Acetone and plastics never mix! I ruined a couple things with it. 😂👍

[@lv_woodturner3899]

The Girl Scout knife looks terrific. The embellished knives at the beginning of the video are amazing. Simple tools used, but with a lot of skill, creativity and time. Really well done. Glad he showed these to you. Dave.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Boy does that knife bring back memories! Good to learn about those screw jack threads. I have one that was in my father's cellar, I'll have to check it out.

[@johnkelley9877]

Great Mosh! The show had a lot of interesting items. I was impressed with how nicely the knife cleaned up. Thanks for sharing this.

[@toolscouter]

Great stuff. Thank you. That was fun

[@LittleRestorers]

What a bunch of lovely people ... thanks for showing us all the beautiful tools 👍

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Great video John, I saw that big soldering iron and what a beauty it is. A lot of blokes just think if you need a soldering iron that big then use a flame but even a big iron can concentrate the heat with out damaging the surrounding material so much better than even a fine flame. Something I have noticed with things like Evaporust is there is a small window of time where the rust is removed but the metal hasn’t gone black yet. I love the videos of these shows and thanks for taking us along. I’m looking forward to some of the restorations. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stuart- Your right, some metals only need a few hours in the evaporust while others take longer. 😃👍

[@autoadjuster]

I have the same knife but it is the Boy Scout version. I am cleaning it also, when I have free time.

[@Bci42]

Thanks for the thread diagram; as a book press collector, I thought that acme and square threads were the same thing.

[@ScoutCrafter]

They are close! It’s amazing how well and smooth they work! 😃👍

[@larrydemaar409]

All good stuff. I agree, that Girl Scout knife turned out great, like that camp knife style knife.

[@stevebark4873]

Wow! Did that Black & Decker bring back memories. I still remember that sound they made. It was strange but when you squeezed the paddle & the motor took off, I smelled the ozone gas those thing used to emit from the arching of the brushes. Thanks for the memories.

[@kgarba9253]

Whoa that 1 burner SEARS? camp stove. Couldn’t say no for a back, personally

[@ScoutCrafter]

I know! $1!

[@kgarba9253]

@@ScoutCrafter I really need to get out there but a weeknight on LI coming from Passaic County, NJ? Sounds like a tooth extraction haha

[@patcb829]

I like that black and decker right angle drill. That's messed up that guy did flipping the clamps you let him buy. With the drilling hammer, one guy was hourly, the other guy was paid by the piece. That is a neat idea for the plane.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I wasn’t sure if he wanted them for himself or resale. 😂👍

[@devils30hockey]

It's so funny, Last week I bought a wood carver vice and the person had it in a bag with some other items she threw in, and one of the items was a Girl Scout pocket knife and it needs a clean-up too.

[@ScoutCrafter]

They clean up so nice! 😃👍

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey John, I collect knives and wanted to let you know, one of the best things you can do to clean up a old knife is to soak it in mineral oil over night. The oil will loosen up everything and lube the blades for you. Also it's safe so you don't have to worry about getting it on anything when you prepare food or whatever. Later

[@patcb829]

That's a good tip. Thanks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Your right Mineral oil is fantastic for so many things! You can dilute it with mineral sprits! 😃👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

FINE meet and saw Mike looking or setting up. The Girl Scout knife was BEAUTIFUL and I like the green too. Happy week and God Bless Yall!

[@WAL_DC-6B]

Nice, rear axle, hub puller seen at 05:37 for a fair price of $55.00. Thanks for the tour of the tool show!

I bet that B&D Shorty Drill smelt as good as it looked and sounded. Thanks for sharing, great episode! All the best

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ozone! 😃👍

[@johngalanes5264]

Very interesting show! I've never seen a Girl Scout knife - funny that they labeled the "can opener" :)

[@mraamohamed]

I have been watching your videos for several years, and now I am about to retire from teaching and have started to make my own small shop in my house. I have been watching, and learning so much from you, and am ready to start to put to use some of your teachings. I am just starting out, getting little by little but have the basics so far, will do a tour as soon as I finish. Just wanted to say thank you and thanks for the motivation.

[@michelecrown2426]

I love when you take us along to the tool shows. I still have my girl scout knife like that. Have had it for about 60 years. The ring on the end needs the rivet peened over, but otherwise it's in great shape.

[@terryrogers1025]

Some nice finds at the show,I wouldn’t mind have a couple of those items you came home with.thanks for the update sir, enjoyed it.

[@michaeld9731]

Hi John. Another interesting video.👍The Girl Scout knife clean-up/restoration turned out fantastic!

Looks like you had a great time! Thank You for sharing it to all us who live to far away to go. Looks like you have plenty of future projects coming our way. 😃

[@larrynelson734]

Hi John. I always like when you go to those shows. I love that old battery box. Can't wait to see it all fixed up. You sure made out well at that show. Some great finds. I like your advice on the threads on a screw jack.always learn something. You have a great day. 👍👍❤😊...

[@evilla410]

Hello John great purchase!! You can spend all the time talking is always good to learn something new 👍 Thanks.

[@rawbacon]

That nice soldering iron jumped out at me, I'm glad you picked it up......Those screw jacks really do work well, we moved a huge block wall that got smashed out about a foot back into position with them........We seemed to be one of the few companies that knew how to move walls back into position without tearing down and rebuilding.

[@firebird543]

Thanks scoutcrafter for the awesome video my grandson and I and the whole family are up North in Minnesota what you and New York would call upstate so I kind of forgot about watching your Monday video and then my grandson Landon said hey bump pa we forgot to watch scout crafter so I got my phone out and we watched your latest oh yeah we also stopped at a garage sale and picked up a dollar tin snips

[@ScoutCrafter]

You can’t beat dollar tin snips! They come in handy for lots of things… like clamshell packages! 😃👍

[@alexstools]

Very nice footage. I always enjoy seeing you go a bit over the top with your purchases. I'm no different! I know all the storage issues trust me..

[@mitchjohnson4970]

I finally found one of those stanley i-beam hammers. Unfortunately the handle was destroyed. I'm hoping I find one worth buying sometime soon.

[@lundysden6781]

those knives are awesome! thanks for sharing. Love your animals!

[@jimmyc7803]

great fun to watch scout. love the Girl Scout knife. used to be an amateur knife maker but my wife wouldn’t let me set up a forge in our dining room. she said it didn’t look good when company came. go figure women !

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Great haul, those knives were absolutely gorgeous! The WW 2 box was neat and as always awesome episode! Thanks again.

[@billmccabe9601]

Great weather you're having. We just survived two HOT days last week. Heat indexes triple digits. Even our little wild critters seemed hunkered down during the day.

[@larrymills8527]

Wish I was closer would love to go to one

[@williambozynski1176]

That stamp is made by NUMBERALL (still in business). Brand new one would cost around $100.00. Really love these videos!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! You’re good! 😃👍

[@57WillysCJ]

That looks like a nice get together. I have the screw jacks as well. If I can find them for $10-$15. Mostly $10. I clean them, grease the screw with synthetic grease and paint them usually black as I have it on the shelf. At the beginning of the video was that a Coleman single burner? I don't think I have seen one in a little suitcase style. Those brother's tables had those gray boxes brought back memories of having to empty everything from my pockets in to one plus my boots before going through a metal detector every time I left the building.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! The stove was $1! 😃👍

[@57WillysCJ]

@@ScoutCrafter And you passed it by? There was some really good and fair priced items there.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Those engraved knifes are just fantastic! Beautiful work that feller does!! The bell system stuff is always cool to find.. like that stamp! And the GS knife came out great...in on your side with the color of that! Good stuff, Mr. John! Always is!

[@357magdad]

That Girl Scout knife is sweet!

[@BrianRust89]

Hey!! Stick that fish tank warmer in the evaporust and warm it up before and during use. If it is somewhat fresh it will work twice as fast! I use a heater with my citric when I’m in a hurry also. It really works great! Thanks for the video sir!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Brian- I normally leave it on my furnace so it gets pretty warm. 😃👍

[@brl3900]

Great video as always, I think you have the best channel on here! The girl scout knife came out spectacular.

[@stevenwitt4028]

Great video 👍 The Long Island tool meet had a lot of awesome deals. I know you said you don’t buy 💵 tools 🛠 anymore 😂😂but the ones you purchased are pretty cool especially that soldering iron and that old vintage wooden plane. I have two of those Klein tools hex-a-matic nut driver tools and they are pretty nice to use and come in pretty handy. I bought them early 2000’s something,wonder if they were made by Stanley tools? That Vulcan screw jack you purchased looks fantastic, that will be a good video for the show 👍👍. That Green handled Girl Scout pocket knife you cleaned up turned out fantastic. I like the green handle knife also, that is a cool color on a pocket knife. That 🦡 opossum looked like he was hungry. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😄👍👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Steven I haven’t seen the Opossum in a while, I was so happy to see him back! 😃👍

[@JamesThomas-gg6il]

Im in roanoke va, and we have a main hub of norfolk southern rail systems in downtown. I see a lot of old tools marked , but usually from the predessessor norfolk and western. Apparently railroads used those old screw jacks for engines or cars, those things are huge. See them in antique shops around town and I'd love to have one, but im betting they are heavier than an anvil. Hope i can find a smaller one some day. Gorl scout knife turned out great. Too bad girls arent interested in that much now a days. Kudos from the south.

[@lotsatrains]

Really like how nice you got that knife to look wow 🤩 and great bunch of stuff too I can’t wait to see that wooden box fixed up 👍

Man that drill was awesome, was expecting to see it on your table in the end??? Great video yet again!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

It wasn’t for sale. 😢

[@MrPhil1969]

I need to make it out to one of your meets. I have that B&D drill you had at the beginning. Got it around '89 and used the heck out of it. The paddle switch is a game changer. At the time there were really only 2 options for electric right angle drills that one and the Sioux which was bulky, not really a right angle (more like 45) had a weird switch and cost about twice the B&D price. I still have it and will use it from time to time. It really is a good thing that you stopped buying tools. 😄

[@johnmclaurin]

Well, your yapping is what we want to hear! Your my favorite tapper! Great video!

[@TheKidFromYTown]

Very nice tool haul. That soldering iron captured my interest. And those steampunk jacks! Pretty cool. 👍🤓👍

[@joemoach832]

You quit buying tools like I stopped drinking! Really nice haul though. I could probably drop a 20 at that dollar table in no time.

How do they not call that a bugle jack?????? Very nice restore on the knife.

[@andyc972]

Looks like a great show John, that vintage right angle drill with the paddle is a peach, I've never seen one of those before, sounds great too ! I'm always on the lookout for Stanley 100s I used to buy them one at a time back in the 80s as they were always pricey for me, but wish I'd managed to get more before they were discontinued in the UK ! Don't cook your fish with that immersion heater ! 😧

[@philcappellini2820]

Another great video!! The knife really turned out well.

[@timeflysintheshop]

The fasteners for the hinges look very interesting. They look like a simple sort of rivet. Are they the same as on the latches?

[@ScoutCrafter]

I didn’t look too closely yet but they were very different then most fasteners. 😃👍

[@alansmith4734]

12:08 Will Evapo-Rust work on that jack? I was drooling, while watching the various tools!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! It works on all rust however on big items like that it’s easier to wire brush it and paint.

@@ScoutCrafter that takes me back to 86 to 90 era. I was working at Sears automotive doing exhaust, tires, batteries, and oil changes. I was struggling with the die grinder I had when one of my mentors brought over a butterfly valve pneumatic die grinder to use. I'd never seen one before and that weeks pay put a brand new butterfly valve pneumatic grinder in my tool box. Man I was in heaven with that. I'm sure it's floating around here somewhere yet. Just haven't done that kind of work again but boy am I ready...lol. That hammer handle fit to your hand is awesome as well. Thanks for the videos brother.

[@kitmaira]

I have one of those Girl Scout knives. I love the color too! Mine is missing the ring. Have you ever made a new ring for a camp style knife? I’d love to have one for mine. I suppose I could find a junk broken one that has the loop, but haven’t seen one lately.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I knew a guy who always clipped the ring off his knife so it fit better in his pocket. 😂👍

Fantastic video! Have fun!

I’ve had a lot of luck with evaporator for freeing up seized items like that jack. A few motorcycle parts that had soaked in oil and wd40 for years were moving freely after 24 hours in evaporated. Couldn’t believe my luck.

I really liked my fathers Hex a Matic but the handle broke and I need to try and replace it with something, any ideas? I don't have a shop like yours.
