The Perfect Day! First Flea Market Visit this Season!

[@Wanton110]

13:30 when you like your toast a little on the dark side

[@jamesjohnston9970]

I look forward to your videos all week. In a world gone mad, it's just nice too see someone without an agenda working on old tools, bringing them back to life and showing true pride and craftsmanship.

[@Mr2Xri]

John I always enjoy to see your videos in the flea market... These videos look like an antic museum in nature!!! Thanks who sharing that with us.

[@357magdad]

When I find the $2 tarp I'm all over it! It looks like I'm playing Twister! We had a few blue spruce trees in our yard growing up - beautiful but the needles were very pointy! I always dreaded having reach in to get the ball or Frisbee out of them!

[@MartinPaulsen87]

I'd love to see that ornate hack saw restored. Never seen such a thing before. Enjoyed going to the market with you thanks for that!

[@johnkelley9877]

That was great! I like the screwdriver and the hacksaw for a restoration. I really enjoyed looking at the interesting items at the show and I saw quite a few model kits there I built as a kid. Thanks for sharing this.

[@MrGoosePit]

Love your flea market trips. You picked up some great candidates for restoration. I'd like to see you do the hacksaw or pipe wrench. But I'll enjoy whatever you choose to do!

[@DavidMurray3128]

What a gorgeous day to go on your outings! Man I love that hacksaw, can’t wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@toolrestoration]

Well restrained, the hacksaw handle is wonderful, thou the mole grips are probably the nicest buy, and the walworth the most unusual, all great John!

[@9644P]

Put me down for the hack saw. It's beautiful!

[@javaMac403]

Love to see that fancy hack saw restored ... love the show thanks keep it coming !

[@joseffroula7415]

Great haul, John. I vote for the hacksaw. What a beautiful tool! Thanks for keeping up with the great content. Always look forward to your videos.

[@johnflocco3803]

Great video really enjoyed it.

[@TJB1510]

Great Video - John. That looks like a very ornate radiator cover. WoW.

[@TJB1510]

THOSE BLUE SPUCE ARE VERY COOL.

[@AaronBelknap]

I like the hack saw! The big wrench around 3:30 would be a great half and half restore! LOL. Some good treasures at that boot sale!

[@metrofarmer913]

Grandma had one of those glass paperweights that all us kids worked on with rocks and hammers to get at the flower petals. I don't know how they did it but there was never anything there. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobertBosworth]

I’ve never seen a hacksaw like that. Love to see a Scoutcrafter restoration on that.

[@tonyholt90]

Can't wait for the book sales to restart here. Thanks for sharing your tour round the flea market really nice to see. Would love to be there looking at all that different stuff.

[@frankg3072]

Looks like you had a relaxing enjoyable day. I’d like to see the big screw driver restored. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@hsimpson6581]

16:55 I am so jealous of that hacksaw it is beautiful !

[@johnlyons1552]

The hack saw with the pipe wrench a very close second. Spruce is a great choice. We had two rows of Blue Spruce in our front yard that were my favorites growing up.

[@Resto-Rob]

Awesome stuff! I love that hacksaw. That will look great restored.

[@robertmerk2168]

Restore the big perfect handle screwdriver. I was there on Sunday . I saw that screwdriver. Considered buying it. I said to myself. I've never seen a screw big enough for that to be useful. I guess as a prybar or showpiece it would be great. I'm thrilled that you picked it up.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Robert thanks for leaving it for me! 😃👍

[@nelofernandez1459]

Thanks for taking us along, it was a great day indeed. Ill vote for that piece of art they call a hacksaw. :-)

[@chadchamplin2654]

Nice tool haul love the hacksaw and visegrips

[@M31292]

Cool finds! Especially like the hacksaw. At 2:36 there is an old M/21 (Model 1921) Swedish helmet. I wonder how that one found its way over the pond?

[@setdown2]

I’m with them...the hack saw....beautiful...stay safe crafterman...

[@wyattoneable]

It's good to see people together again. It's funny you showcased that folder fan because I'm looking for one myself to install in a fire department. The cheap ones at the local stores just won't do. I'd say you were very disciplined not coming home with more stuff. There was a lot of things I'd love to buy. Nice flea market.

[@mr.bandyshanks6492]

Great haul. John I'd like to see the hacksaw cleaned up. Thank you.

[@briantraxler1407]

Love the hacksaw! And the baby pictures! And the narrating at the sale! Excellent! 🇨🇦

[@beerdrinker6452]

Great video. Thank you.

[@johnjacop]

I was getting ready to make a Hand Tool Rescue reference when I saw that screwdriver, but you already did!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Eric is super cool!

[@jeffk204]

Another great video! I knew you were going to say "sniff test" when checking out the dremel (I guess "rotary tool" for the pendantic). I use that sniff test on any used tool with a motor. I have a craftsman version of the dremel that I got decades ago and it still runs great, and all the accessories are compatible with the dremel ones as well.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Jeff- It's funny but as you know the sniff test is a great way to see how the tool was used or abused! =D Thanks!

[@Eagle48]

Scoutcrafter words to live by: Don’t be stingy with the 50/50 Always smell the vent. 👍

[@paddrivers]

Thanks for taking us along SC 😎 I vote for the pipe wrench...never seen one like it before🇬🇧🇺🇲

[@glengrossnickle4985]

I would have loved to be there. That was a great flea market. Here in Kansas most of ours are in buildings and small but last year me and my son found a big one about an hour away. Looking forward to going to it next month. The screwdriver first then the saw. They both would be great to see your majec. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@garyjones2582]

Wow.. some really cool tools and stuff..Wish you had scanned those tables a little slower, but it might have been an hour long video..lol.. S.C. You've got to do that screwdriver with the wooden handles next.. What a beauty.. See ya Friday...

[@lotsatrains]

That hack saw really caught my eye for a restore that’s gonna be so nice and Wow what a flea market I have to get there one of these days looks like they have some nice lanterns thanks for the shout

[@62forged]

Blue spruce!!! Great color.

[@choppermike3329]

Nice tool haul . Vise grips was well worth $18. Funny it says "new with quick release". I used to have the older model without the quick release. Good idea putting the hole in the mask.LOL. That old tree farm would be perfect for a house. You'd have a lot of wildlife, they love those evergreens. 👍🛠

[@essentialhandyman]

Hey Gringo Grande. Usually I would say the HD Smith is my favourite but that hacksaw is amazing. Old hacksaws like that are pretty much the only old tool I collect. I've got a few, not too many, but always on the look out for more. I'd have snapped that one up too.

[@robertesposito9739]

Awesome buys! I vote for the hacksaw or that massive screwdriver.

[@jimronchetto8592]

John, my choice for the next restoration would be the big perfect handle screwdriver. Hands down, the winner I'm sure.

[@diannelogsdon6107]

Luv that hacksaw. I know you can get it glistening! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JohnSmith-vc4yg]

Just love watching you enjoy another day in this most wonderful of all possible lives😀

[@battleofathens5986]

I believe that is an old time wash stand for your washing yourself up and storage underneath for soaps, wash cloths, hand towels and such.

[@anthonypirrello2473]

Nice to see that Genesee sign at the opening - my hometown beer. Do your magic on the hacksaw.

[@johntanner7879]

I would like to see you do the hack saw and try to identify and date it! Remember spruce can get very large. The problem is they steal the ward unlike a tree such as oak or maple which also provide shade. we are fond of the blue spruce. I was surprised you did not buy the very large Williams engineers wrench. That wrench appeared at about 3:30 in the video.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I picked up that wrench but it had some deep gouges in it and it was a big job! =D

[@stevebark4873]

Great scores! The Walworth item is not a pipe wrench. It’s a rod wrench. Antique reciprocating machinery such as steam engines, gas engines & air compressors use a highly polished round rod to connect the piston to the crankshaft. The rod had to pass through a set of fibrous packing to seal the pressure in the cylinder. The rod was threaded on both ends usually . You couldn’t use a pipe wrench to tighten/loosen it because it would mar the rod. You could change the jaws of the rod wrench to accommodate different sizes of rods. Love your videos.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Steve! I knew it was non marring but had no idea the jaws were replaceable! It screams of quality! Thanks so much!

[@patjohnson3100]

I vote to restore that cool hacksaw. Looks like it has a cast iron handle. What a great flea market. I loved those vises. I could spend all day there and wonder where the time went.

[@gk42medic]

The hack saw has my vote!!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Hi John! Glad your were able to get out...love to see that hacksaw with the scoutcrafter touch applied to it... And wow.. those vise grip are a nice find.. I would be broke at a flea market like that.. I saw alot I didnt need but most likely it all would had followed me home 🤠 have a gooden, Vic

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Oh and as my pawpaw always said.. "the nose knows best" 🥴

[@ScoutCrafter]

Vic did you like the Coke stuff?!?

[@bigvicsworkshop]

@@ScoutCrafter sir, I'm not sure how I missed those...so when I saw your comment here, I had to go back and rewatch it..I love those old metal coolers... I do have a double-cola cooler like those that i revived...a few years ago 😊 coke stuff down here as you can imagine is everywhere..lol.i think n.v have maybe 1 or 2 pieces.... and folks down here are very proud of it too.. thank you for pointing these out...

[@SteveMcQuillin]

I can't decide between the hacksaw and the pipe wrench. Decisions decisions. I knew you were going to grab that angled flashlight knockoff, I could hear it screaming your name! The two bagatelles at 9:42 suddenly took me back ~40 years. My dad was a primary school teacher in the UK, here I guess it would be 6th grade or so. Every year we would make dozens of those for kids at his school for Christmas as it was in an extremely poor neighborhood and a lot of them were getting pretty much nothing beyond a couple of pairs of socks. All the wood and nails were recycled, my dad would visit places being demolished throughout the year to collect old floorboards etc just for the project, and one of the local paint manufacturers would donate factory seconds so we could fancy them up. Haven't thought about that in YEARS :)

[@ScoutCrafter]

Steve- I would love to see how they work! Awesome!!!!!

[@MsGamalier]

Yes I've seen a couple those they are mini bars you kept all your liquor on the bottom and on top was the glass usually the doors had holders for wine and glass

[@scottjones5013]

Jose the hacksaw great video scout keep up the good work you have definitely help me get through this “pandemic

[@teresaschroepfer3695]

I have actually used a plow like the one your found, but I made a row that looked like a cork screw. lol funniest thing I ever saw.

[@brianmcguire5005]

The pipe wrench for sure!! I need to have you watch for me some Connecticut pattern axes out there!! I saw two in the video. In Oklahoma we just didn’t get them. I’d pay for them obviously. I really would love ro seep t a weekend out there. Maybe one day I can go there for work haha. Thanks for the video!! Keep up the great work!!

[@geraldwilliams8425]

Great to see you out and about, has to be the hack saw

[@wadewells808]

Hey John, I vote for the pipe wrench. Love the flea market videos. Live in a small town in Texas and we don't have a flea market here.

[@jeffsalt2080]

Nice toaster of my Boss! I'd like to see that hacksaw shiny again!

[@foxwood67]

Nice flea market I recommend adding a couple swamp maples in the yard. Beautiful foliage will add a nice contrast to your conifers I laughed when you panned by the green lamp i knew immediately it caught your eye. Living in Los Angeles we have swap meets similar in theory to a flea market but you dont get the good old tools and antique type of stuff mostly vendors selling new or newer stuff at expensive prices. I miss my Mass and Conn flea markets.

[@ScoutCrafter]

PA is the place for tools!

[@foxwood67]

@@ScoutCrafter next time I'm up that way ill check it out. Your a good man enjoy your channel. Keep em coming👍

[@markmougine9769]

Please restore that gorgeous hack saw. What a gem.

[@joeheilm]

That pipe wrench is my favorite. What a great flea market...i enjoy seeing all the cool stuff. Our flea market is full of new china junk and vaping kiosks, it is pitful. Cheers

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL Vaping... =D

[@highdownmartin]

Lucky bugger! Can’t wait to be rooting through boxes of bits! Nice hot day here, frost every night still, and got next winters wood pile cut stacked finished and swept. Just need a good transport rally with auto jumble.

[@johnsanders3454]

I vote to see that beautiful hacksaw cleaned up!

[@stewartew]

Good looking stuff, I would like to see the hack saw.

[@roygilmore2968]

Hacksaw for sure. I’m interested if you’ll try to address the blade or replace since it’s a consumable.

[@Shooter4547]

I woulda picked up that plow. Very nice. I vote for that ginormous screwdriver to restore. 👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

That Plow was amazing! 😃👍

[@davidspinney2664]

Hi Scoutcrafter I love flee markets lots of great vintage stuff at that one. Some times its just as well if some stuff is overpriced it doesn't tempt you to buy it. the hacksaw is nice I haven't seen you do one of those

[@richardgreen3068]

Gotta do that hacksaw. No brainer! Keep up the good work!

[@jackthompson2132]

I can see that hacksaw with some Scoutcrafter red someplace on it. That would be awesome. Thank You for sharing!

[@mraamohamed]

OK at 10:19 what was it? I know my grandparents had one that looked just like that they were from Hacketstown NJ and it was a Radiator Cover/Table was used in the living room or dining room to cover over the cast iron radiators. Grandma Travena's was wood on top and was white just like that and had some sort of red symbol in the middle, now don't ask my how I remember that so long ago when I can not remember what I had for breakfast today, but saw that and knew right away what it was. Thanks, scout great video. Here an idea for a video, enamel repair on that big white bowl (and yes I agree with ya, love them grandma had some big ones, have a pic of me taking a bath in one must have been 1 or less). But everyone I ever see has that one or 2 chips on the top rim or bottom. Good video on how to repair if you can or know how to.

[@sosrob8085]

SC, “you’re a better man than me Gunga Din”. I would not have the willpower to walk away from all those VISES’s!! Absolutely loved the video! Screwdriver restoration #1, hacksaw #2!

[@timshel011]

You're infectious in a different kind a way. I laughed my tail off !

[@ikkas]

Thanks for the fleamarket video. I havent been since covid lockdowns. I cant wait to get out there and pick through those piles. This one you are at has a lot of really nice quality finds. Pricing is probably high though.

[@gordcameron4409]

That ornate cabinet you asked about looks like a radiator cabinet (goes over a standing cast iron hot water radiator)

[@danfrench5118]

The perfect handle screw driver for me. If Sunday is nice, I am biting the flea market!

[@MrHerbie76]

What a fantastic video. That lock is exactly the same as the one I bought for 50 cents I told you about although yours is in better condition than mine.

[@smitty1952]

Either the screwdriver or second choice the hacksaw. Where was the abandoned tree farm?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Newtown Ct. 😃👍

[@Streifenhoernchen2]

That hacksaw would come out nice! Back in the day they really put a lot of effort in making a tool look nice. Sadly they don't do it in that extend any more...

[@adamfrost3976]

Great video and good job controlling yourself on not buying too much. Haha. Do the screwdriver next!

[@grantar7790]

As soon as I saw it, I thought Wow, I'd love to see that hacksaw restored.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

I love going to the flee markets and and the crate bikes go for mega bucks nice haul you picked up do the hacksaw I bought a new set of eagal grips 45 bucks you stole the old vice grips in,classic package

[@tfknauss]

That saw is nice! but so is the screw driver,, either or. Glad you had a great day!

[@ihrescue]

The hack saw would be an interesting restoration.

[@kevinbreckenridge6729]

Awesome hacksaw!

[@jpsimon206]

The hacksaw is beautiful, but the mechanism on that pipe wrench makes me want to see it in action. Consider cedars, if you like evergreens. Firs and pines leave the soil nitrate rich and cedars leave it phosphorus rich, they like to grow together. Cedars also dry up wetland and don't make nearly as big of a mess. When you retire, you can make pencils on the lathe

[@mikebashford8198]

I am also vaccinated, but still wear a mask - my understanding is that even though the vaccination protects me from infection, it's still possible for me to get the virus, be unaware that I've got it because I have no symptoms, but still be capable of spreading it to someone else. I'll stop wearing a mask when everyone has been offered a vaccination, and has had reasonable time to accept the offer.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Mike- There hasn’t been a single study of vaccinated people spreading the virus. It’s theater...

[@mikebashford8198]

@@ScoutCrafter I understand that. But my philosophy is 'belt and braces' (I think you call the things to hold trousers up suspenders) (and you call trousers pants), so I will still wear a mask at the moment - I am super cautious. My local boot sale is a pleasant 20 minute walk from my house, re-starts this Sunday, but I won't be going there just yet. At the moment, half the people in the UK have had a first jab, and about a sixth have had 2 jabs. I'll wait till those figures get above 80%, then think about resuming a normal life. For 15 months, I haven't been more than 1 mile from my house!

[@Russ0107]

@@mikebashford8198 It's called life -- there's danger every time you leave your bed in the morning and waking up tomorrow is never granted. You could get in a car accident, you could have a heart attack, a psycho could stab you on your 20 minute walk, and a million other ways that tomorrow could be your last. Some of us feel we've been at home long enough. Some of us are getting tired of the muzzle.

[@jlowe181]

I’m loving Florida it’s normal life here,I don’t mask,I’m not afraid to die.and surely not afraid to live. Enjoy life this mess isn’t just floating in the air. I couldn’t help but shake my head and laugh watching these people walk around outside with masks 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@markmaestas1129]

@Mike Bashford I agree. I think it's unlikely to spread the disease if you've been vaccinated. But, I'll follow the CDC guidelines. If it's a waste of time, big deal. If it saves someone's life, or keeps them from getting sick, or even if it just makes some others in my community feel safer because I'm wearing it, I'll do it.

[@gerryh49]

I'd love to see the large screwdriver and compare it to Hand Tool Rescue. But the pipe wrench would be my first choice.

[@philparker1666]

Hey man, the spot light is a Tilley A21 I believe, I actually have one and is the only thing I have restored, known in this country as a tunnel inspection lap for the railways. Love these films,, our boot fairs are NOTHING compared to your wonderful lea markets, if ever I come over from England I'll need a shipping container to come home. Just splitting up from my wife of 20 years, to give me hope is there a chance of seeing a happy scout crafter AND his girlfriend together?
