My dad gave me a bunch of boxes of his collection of second hand screws and nails. I once spent an entire weekend sorting through them all. I cannot begin to describe the pleasure and connection I feel when I go to do a project and think 'oh, I don't need to buy screws. Dad's got me'.

[@petrolak]

I also had a heritage bucket of screws and nails - every single one was different thickness and length, full screw, partial screw, flat head, cross head, domed, countersink, hexhead. Half of them rusty as well. Chucked them ALL out as scrap metal, bought a couple sets of new ones. The best purchase in my entire life.

I'm also a ginger and very much a second hand chick. Most of my old nails and flat head screws, etc came from my grandfather too. Several years ago I categorized all of the old nuts and bolts and screws and crap.

It's almost worth cracking a beer over, it feels that good.

My dad bought a tool shop once from a guy who was getting married again at age 74 (which at the time I thought was super old). Besides all the stuff in the shop the deal included his apartment upstairs. One huge room had boards over sawhorses covered in boxes. A box of hammers, boxes of screwdrivers, boxes of screws and bolts and bits. It was a hoarder's dream. I and my siblings got furniture and tools and kitchen ware to start our adult lives with. And we've all been secondhand people ever since.

I would have loved to finish in six hours - it was more than six days but less than six weeks. He doesn't know I've done it yet either so the jury's out on what I've done.

When my grandpa sold his farm he had an auction. Over the years, the pigbarn and the chicken coop were converted to more parts storage. Well, piles. Parts piles. There was a particular type of converter that grandpa used in most of his tractors, and during the auction he realized he'd had 5 of them stashed away. Each was worth $3k new, $1500 used, and he'd pulled them out of old dead machines at the scrapyard for a couple hundred each. But because he could never find the things he owned, he'd spent years sourcing this darn part.

We are junk royalty! I, myself am a junk princess! You’re right it’s in our DNA. But also I was raised by depression era parents that did not throw anything away, much like your grandparents. In his retirement, my father started buying and selling. He sat up at Canton, Tx, a big flea market, for years until my brother (his partner in junkology) passed away. Then Papa just stopped with a three car storage unit full in his back yard. When he passed, it took me over a year to go through and sell most of it. But there were some things that didn’t sell and I’ve paid storage rental on that stuff plus many of my own “treasures” for over ten years. I’m now seventy years old and realizing when something happens to me that storage unit is likely to end up on an episode of Storage Wars. So, I gotta get busy!

I literally did this for my dad every father's day! He worked six days a week and was an elder at our church on a Sunday. So when he fixed things, built things of taught me how to use tools, he didn't have the time of sometimes the energy left to put stuff back. When he retired and moved house we had to have a tool amnesty to figure out what belonged to who and argued which project hardware or tools where bought for. I see so much of myself in you.

One afternoon I sat there and sorted everything out and made him soooo happy. Now I need to do my own sorting.

You are a man after my own heart! A bloody legend. Second hand dudes rule !! For us SHD's it was suprisingly entertaining. Keep it up

[@discgolfwes]

Considering how much I enjoyed watching James May's "The Reassembler" I will absolutely watch this.

[@xcornnutsx]

Thank You Mr. Miles! I have found myself outside enjoying my Saturday evening and BAM! I'm watching Beau sort fasteners! Amazing job, you're a rippa!!

[@jenslennartsson]

You know you have an interesting personality, when you can film yourself sorting screws, and it cures your subscribers' anxiety. 🥳

[@triciac1019]

I bought a lot of plastic storage containers and have been organizing and labeling things. I have a way long way to go. You sure do have a lot of nails and screws. Now you will be able to find exactly what you need. Wonderful!

1:27 you’re god damn right I will

[@eronhonez]

For some reason the title of this video intrigued me…I don’t care about tools or nails or nuts…but I couldn’t stop smiling or watching this video after it started. I just subscribed…and have developed a little KZbin crush. ;-) Your wife is a lucky woman!

[@ChickenPhobia]

first?

[@buildingbrenham]

You're such a masterful storyteller...I just watched you sort screws. Bravo sir.

[@toddcancompute]

Loved it! More videos of you sorting through the barns and cleaning up.

[@brycedunlap]

Sorry to hear about losing your job at the Uni. Keep making videos and sharing your stories! We'll be here to watch. I hope that this new opportunity gives you more time to be creative and becomes a blessing.

[@TheHaVarie]

man i love genuine people with genuine content.

[@fahrrad-noerdlingen]

I like your "how to bend a bolt with serious action" advice. With sorting screws and bolts you are late in life my friend - it is one of the best thing I ever did and I did it at the age of 20. At that time I was not organized in many areas . Sorting my screws and bolts saved me hundereds of ot trips to the harware store an back an a lot of frustraition not being able to find stuff I knew I had. And your kids might even have more fun hiding your boxes now...

[@FastHatTrick]

From 4:00 until about 4:30 I kept having to stop the video to make sure my dogs didn't get stepped on... whatever that noise is in that song..... And yes, you even make sorting bits interesting, you are that good of a story teller.

[@ABlindMoa410]

It’s a bummer to hear you got sacked, but I’m happy that you still get to teach people through KZbin! I’ve learned to appreciate the littlest of things through watching you over the years and I’m forever grateful for what you do and how you do it

[@MicrophoneMichael]

Right there with you Beau. Sometimes I dislike that I can’t not be a second hand dude. But you often times remind me of why I do what I do and how I do it in the first place. Cheers!

[@ButterflyBandit88]

I have never seen your channel before, have no interest in screws, but was thoroughly entertained and now need to watch more of your videos. Thank you

[@sostoked07]

My Dad is a secondhand dude too. He sees the beauty and use in things other people have thrown away or gave up on. There was a short time when I was embarrassed of this habit of his, as a teen I'd bring friends over and they'd see his stuff everywhere and they'd be rusty or old or beat.. But as I grew up I realized that that's my Dad's gift. His ingenuity is on another level. Many people think that he's an engineer because of his skills, but he's not! Proud of you, Dad.

[@gloriannburick1837]

Your collection of containers is similar to my sewing containers. I’ve sorted through buttons, snaps, pins, needles, etc. I had 12 containers with 24 spools of thread in each one. I totally understand the satisfaction of going through all your “stuff” so you know what you have

[@TassieDIY]

Beau, Id like to say I’m rather similar that I love collecting old screws/timbers and bits n bobs just like you! I’ve got an old military shell box that all my slathered screws and bolts go into when they don’t go into sorters, this has inspired me to finally sort it, the last sort of that large box was over 10 years ago 😅

[@nickpiovesan4361]

Beau sad to hear you lost your Uni job! Much love for the videos

[@Phoenixcoffee9000]

Hey Beau your videos help get a laugh out of me when nothing else can. It definitely helps.
