Show Acquisitions, RIKON Air Cleaner and Easy Jeweling.

Here is the other jeweling video- • Double-Take Junior... ...

[@vincentwesolowski459]

I’ve been watching Engel’s Coach Shop for quite a while. It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t have an apprentice in the shop to learn the trade. I call him a genius, I wished I lived close to him so I could volunteer my time just to learn from him. Take care and thanks for your channel.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That is very hard work although Dave makes it look easy... Not many people can do that kind of work everyday.

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very innovative way to square cut those dowels using that 2X4 scrap. Nice! I'm sure you are aware that, not only does jeweling look great; it has functionality as well. Particularly in firearms. It helps hold the lubrication in a specific area. I like the Scotchbrite way better, as well. Good show.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Stephen Bridges I just watched a Rolex watch service on KZbin and the entire inside is jeweled! Looked like by hand too! 😃👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

YAAY on the Rikon! I suffer with sinusitis 24/7/365 and have a Honeywell HEPA and an old Lighting Air ozone generator in the bedroom. I run the HEPA every night and the ozone when things are rougher and the engine turned is BEAUTIFUL! And The Estwing can make a rasp in a pinch. Thanks, John CS! Better pack the Rikon up for the move!

[@corydriver7634]

That Rikon air filter is a nice unit, I especially like the timer feature. The downside to these is the pre-filter is an odd size so they gouge you for replacements. I’ve seen some guys make their own pre-filter using 1x2 wood frame, hardware cloth and bulk filter fabric. Cheers.

[@ScoutCrafter]

That was the first question I asked the guy! Are these filters common sized? =) I will look now.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hey Scout, I love the way you take something so simple like jeweling and explain it in a way that is interesting even to those of us that know how to do it. You’re an excellent teacher. When you were opening the $5 stones my wife said they would be really handy................for sanding her feet.😂😂😂 cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@ScoutCrafter]

It's true! Those stones would leave them silky smooth! =-)

[@reynaldovalle1773]

Great video Scout GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@13thworker45]

I’m surprised you did not build the air cleaner. I know it makes a nice addition to anybody’s shop. I bought the sanding blocks for handsaws. They are supreme quality. I love the poor mans flea market jeweling . I will have to make some.you never seem to amaze me with your projects and the quality of them. You had great teachers. Thank You

[@HardKnocksForge]

Those farrier rasps are so handy in the shop. I’ve seen guys make some very cool looking knives out of those rasps as well. They’re so meaty and course. I should probably invest in one of those air filtration units. I’m sure my lungs are filling up fast with dirt and dust and rust as well. Great jeweling demo. The scotch brite has always been my favorite. You could add some cutting compound and use the scotch brite as well on the harder tool steels. Might show up a wee bit better.

[@stanellis7805]

Thanks Scout. I the same model Rikon air filtration unit and love it! The timer is sometimes a gentle reminder of how long I’ve been in the shop and how time flies. 🤣

[@aceroadholder2185]

In the shop years ago we used to put jeweling on all the tools and fixtures we made for oil retention to prevent surface rusting while stored on the shelf. I don't really know if it worked all that well, but it was quick to do and made the work look professional. I still do jeweling on tools I make in the home shop. That way five years later I know that it must have been made for something. Besides that you need to stamp your work with a description and date made so you'll have a clue as to what its for. Cheers from NC/USA

[@ScoutCrafter]

Wow- I bet all those tools looked awesome!!!!!!!

[@aceroadholder2185]

@@ScoutCrafter As you showed in your video, it really does look good on polished or surface ground surfaces. I still have a box of Craytex abrasives that I used. The one inch diameter Craytex makes covering a large surface a matter of just a minute to do. Cheers from NC/USA

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Over here in Ohio we use a pencil with an eraser, just chuck it up in a drill press and go to town. Great show and very much enjoyed.

The good 'ol fix to avoid-lifelong-grief-I-wish-Ihad-bought-that show exit! To this day I STILL kick myself - after 20 years - for NOT picking up special insulaotrs that caught my eye at insulator shows! I now weigh the impulse not to spend the money to the years of kicking-myself-to-come if I don't buy the item. Spending has saved me a years of grief over temporal grief. Great acquisitions John. Good on you for getting the filtration system! Excellent jeweling review also. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ScoutCrafter]

Lee You are so right- nothing worse then regret!

[@EVILDR235]

Thanks again for the jeweling lesson. I did almost the same thing using Emory paper dots cut out with a round gasket punch. Those factory made rubber grit sticks are too expensive for a old man like me on social security. Always enjoy your videos and humor.

[@1D10CRACY]

I now feel like I need to go to my garage and Jewl something.... If only I had an aluminum boat!

[@AaronBelknap]

Some good stuff you got and for good prices. That rasp is very nice. That Rikon should do you some good with fresh air. I should get one for our house, my wife has bad allergies. I love jeweling. I saw Larry Potterfield jewel a rifle bolt with the similar sticks you had (the rubber ones). Turned out beautiful. I should jewel the bezel on my '64 Chevy C10....... Hmmmmm. Love Wednesdays! and MMM's and Fridays.....

[@Resto-Rob]

Love the jewling. Cool finds! Like the air purifier. 👍

I always use Black Bull! Keep it in the ziploc bag in your fridge and it’ll last for years! No joke!

👍😎🤠🇺🇸 Speaking of favorite channels, this one is mine. Appreciate all your efforts, here, John🤠

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Thank on the tip on brand of glue that don't dry up before you use ii and glad to see you buy something you wanted that the whole rewards for working

[@watchfast1]

Scout, please be careful with your buck saw. That blade looks like a hacksaw blade. It has the small teeth for cutting metal and is probably tempered which means it could break if it catches in a piece off wood. Thanks for the dowel cutting tip and the jewel in seminar. It was a gem!

[@stevef8993]

Great idea with the scotchbrite for the jeweling dowel! One of these days I have to try that. I like that ferrier's file. I think I have one of those with the coarse teeth. Not sure what I'd use it for but it's cool. Glad you picked up an air filter system. Gotta keep those lungs clean with all the metal and wood sanding you do.

[@lwoodt1]

Jeweling is also called " engine turning " in some automotive circles. You will see it used on dash boards and firewalls.

[@jkbp38bower97]

I've used the 'box fan' air cleaner in my condo for years. It's surprising how you can tell within an hour how much better the air is.

[@ChuckInOregon]

Jewelling My late friend Glenn was a master gunsmith. He would take a new box of ordinary pencils and cut off the eraser end to about two inches. Then would chuck it up on a drill press, eraser down, and using lapping compound he would proceed to jewel some very expensive guns. His guns would show off his mastery.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Charles- Gunsmiths are awesome machinists and have many different skills! Very impressed by everyone I ever met! Thanks!

[@benhuygh9086]

I love it when you new yorkers use the word "smeer" Its nice to hear Dutch words being used in your dialect ! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for doing the low tech version for the reselling Scoutcrafter! Will try this one for sure. Very much appreciated!

[@mgwood558]

Great dowel cutting jig. Thx for the idea. Wonderful video as always.

[@tonylenge424]

Good tip on cutting dowels with the block of wood. Thanks

[@SteveMcQuillin]

I put the Wen version of the air filter in my shop last year and what a difference it makes. Certainly not as good as a high end filtration unit, but far better than the clouds that would hang in there for days after a project. Never tried jeweling anything, might have to have a play with it!

[@kevinbrassil9836]

Thanks again. So happy you showed the jewling process.

[@societyschild6055]

Found your jeweling video...happy camper!

[@terrysanders2817]

Hi, Viewing your show reminded me - one can achieve similar but smaller results by chucking a new #2 wood pencil [eraser down]. Cheers, Terry.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Terry Sanders Yes! Pencil erasers work great and I think they are similar to cratex... The only problem is from spinning the abrasive picks up swarf and begins to deteriorate quickly. That’s why you need a few dowels for a job.

[@terryhill6380]

My father made files at Heller years ago. Still have a bunch of nos files that he acquired while he worked there back in the early 80's.

[@AaronBelknap]

That is so cool. Nothing better than a good rasp and files. I've used cheapos and they stink.

You always get nice tools... That rasp is just so great!

[@jessjulian9458]

Thanks my friend. I didn't know that. Have a great weekend.

[@richardross7219]

$180 is cheap compared to lung problems. I think that the Rikon was a good investment in your health. I would think that they would sell well in LA, CA. The saw blade looks like it goes to my power hacksaw. Very kool jeweling technique. I was taught the lapping compound way over 50 years ago. Your way is faster and cleaner. Good Luck, Rick

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rick- I thought the same thing about the power hacksaw! =)

[@anthonykent7983]

Lol my wife looked over my shoulder and said " why on earth are you watching a video about cigarette butts!!" Great stuff as normal oh and my wife takes it back. jewelling she approves of!

[@frankwaters2133]

It may be possible to use an incremental jig (like incra-jig) to really nail the spacings on a jeweled finish. Just a thought.

[@paulsworkshop4179]

Always something to learn here! Great stuff as alaways.

[@uktony1525]

Fantastic video but always remember to keep your CA glue separate from your eye drops in the refrigerator !😱.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Are you supposed to keep eyedrops refrigerated? I don't keep my CA in the fridge because when I need glue I have no patience to go upstairs and get it! =)

Terrific! Now I have no excuse but to try jeweling myself. Thanks for another great one.

[@waltsmith1305]

that's awesome.Ill be using this. I thought the jeweling process was a big involved deal. The scotchbright looks exactly like craftsman pattern.

[@ROD59]

John, fantastic video, I'm interested in seeing how you make a handle for that large file , they make the end of the file kind of short

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! I will never understand the reason a tapered tang is on the end of files instead of a handle... Makes no sense! =)

[@johnhartley3596]

I used those Sandflex blocks while restoring my 1950s Craftsman table saw. They did a nice for the final steps in cleaning up the cast iron top.

[@lordvengerx]

I'm so glad they are finally listening about clam packaging. Now they snap open and close. You don't have to almost stab yourself lol. This was very neat stuff. Do you remember when they delivered ice and they carried the block with those praying mantis looking thingys lol. Do you have any of those? Thanks Scout for taking us along and sharing :3 stay safe scout

[@ScoutCrafter]

Lord Venger I was born in ‘62 and we had electric by then but we still had the icebox down the basement until I finally got rid of it 6 years ago! I do have some ice tongs! 😃👍

[@lordvengerx]

@@ScoutCrafter That is so neat. I've always wondered if you had some. I think how they did ice then was pretty cool no pun intended :P

One of the best files is the adjustable car body file. The lapping compound would have been better on the Hammer, excellent tutorial.

[@bigpete4227]

That’s a neat trick with the dowel jig Scout. That’s worth the watch In itself.

[@teresaschroepfer3695]

Loved it as usual I put “jeweling” on part of a hunting knife that went through a fire. It had pitting too deep to get all of it out. I free handed it so that it would not be in a pattern. It turned out really cool. Because of the crazy pattern your eyes could not see the pits. But now I have to try the straight pattern. Would a square or triangle make any difference? Love the vids keep up the good work. Oh, if you haven’t tried an ice skate file you have missed out. Soooooo wonderful on axes, knives, hatchets and removing stock

[@ScoutCrafter]

Teresa- One tricky part of jeweling is getting the right pattern, the best way is on a milling machine or any machine with a moving table, then you just move the table with a hand wheel in a perfect line... I have seen ice skate file holders (cast iron) but not so much the files! I have to look into them!

[@357magdad]

I should have one of the air cleaners in my basement but I'm too cheap! I've had good success with the scotch bright dowel jeweling technique!

[@ScoutCrafter]

The box-fan type air filter can be made for less then $25! We make so much dust restoring tools! =)

[@JD-lz4ct]

Just ordered sandflex. I don’t have a 1x30 sander so I’m hoping to use these for polishing my old tool restorations.

[@ronjones1990]

Try a piece of rough leather on the end of your dowel and then use your lapping compound. Gives a finish similar to the Scotch Brite.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ron - Great tip! I thought I needed a pad of some type! Thanks!

[@allentrench]

Thanks John I learned something new again today always wondered how jewel steel. I also need to get one those air cleaners my lungs are about shot to from years of being in the shop and engine rooms and smoking I don’t do engine rooms anymore and I quit smoking for years ago.

I use drumsticks for jeweling I wrap Scotch-Brite around the pointy tip and tie it on with wire seems to work really good and gives you a smaller circle

[@frankweeks4177]

Wow the weather looks great for another nice front porch opening of your informative video. The jeweling section was cool, seems like the best results to be on soft materials such as brass or aluminum is there a special procedure to have it come out better on harder surfaces?

Frank I think the lapping Compound might have more bite on very hard surface. 😃

[@namleets57]

That blade looks like one we used on a powered hacksaw to cut rail about 40 years ago. If it is it’s very hard and will break if it binds

[@Aubreykun]

That saw blade looks like it's for a power hacksaw to me. If you're cutting corrugated roofing it should work great, not too sure about wood though. You could get away with using a bandsaw blade if you break it and drill some holes. In one of mrpete's videos (JEWELING Tips #469) he features his friend Palmer Moynihan showing another way to do the jeweling using sandblasting media and a pair of rulers, as well as mentioning doing it with a wire brush and other things. There's a company called Weiler selling some specialty banded wire and "nylox" abrasive brushes with that might work with that method. A lot of their wire brushes are really high quality and made in USA.

[@ScoutCrafter]

The teeth on this blade looks perfect for dry hardwood. Like Oak and other hardwoods. =)

[@Aubreykun]

@@ScoutCrafter Can't wait to see what you'll make of it. Power hacksaw blades aren't that common so I've never heard of someone doing it for a wood saw before. Regular hacksaws are a good option for fine cuts so it'll be interesting.

Another good video. Fun to see somethings I do validated. I have a variable speed wood lathe and want to try your wire wheel method on it. How are you attaching the wheel to the head stock. Your camera angle doesn’t quite reveal your attachment method. My lathe is a Robust with a 25” swing so plenty of vertical space but might need to extend the horizontal. Any tips would be great. Jeweling tips were great. Sand Flex blocks are outstanding.

John, did you buy that air filter based on my questions about keeping your shop clean? I bought mine through grizzly. It looks and costs the same as yours. I bet the same company in China made both of ours. The problem I found is that the filters clogged very quickly. I've had mine about 6 weeks and I'm on my 2nd $30 filter.

[@JohnDaker_singer]

....I guess they get you coming and going. Just like the companies that sell you printers and ink.
