Love the hammer. And the padlock - never seen one of those. The electrical parts, especially the screw in receptacle reminds me... In the early 50's, Dad had a job wiring houses on Smith Island (in Maryland, in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. We lived there.) A typical installation, in addition to the main fuse box, was a ceiling light and one receptacle in each room. The wiring was knob and tube and all the drilling was with a brace and bit. Because of cramped quarters, when he got a bit stuck in a joist or stud he often as not couldn't get it out; he said that pretty much every house on the island still has a bit stuck somewhere in it.
Wow, I wasn't sure about that wooden stack handle on the Estwing until it was polished. It turned out beautiful. I recently restored one with a Swedish stack (leather), but wish I had used a wooden stack now. Maybe next time. Great show.
Love the old electrical .. they don't make them like that anymore..lol. I do like the wood stack instead of the leather.. great resto.. stay safe John..
Wow, lot of good stuff! My dad had an Estwing knife in Vietnam with the leather handle and although it's lost, I bought one for my son. Time to restore that, I think.
remember picking my first estwings at an estate sale for a couple of dollars each. they were in a shed all surface rusted. dark blue rubber handles. at first I did not see them all, there were 2 hammers and a nice sledge. still enjoy using them today, my fav being the 12" long sledge.
Thanls John, and also to Scott & Jimmy, what a great selection of items, the hammer came out just great, and the electrical items are a real time capsule. I remember when we visited my Grandmother there were few power points so my Dad used to plug his electric shaver into the light socket in the hallway in front of the mirror, not sure I'd want to run an iron off it though !
What a great solution for those leather handles! You made that hammer look first class. It’s funny how all of the stuff made in the old days was built to be the strongest and best. Now they build it to just meet useable specs. My parents used one of those screw in sockets in the porch light to connect Christmas lights every year. Can’t wait to see that Dake plate finished.
Those pliers are so cool. I think I’ve seen a pair of those in my grandfathers garage. I now finally know what they are for. I wonder even more where they came from know. I think they were all my great grandfather and great great grandfathers.. and they drove horses for a living and ran a small holding..
beautiful pieces by Scot and Jimmy, old stuff is neat! love the electrical pieces, would be nice using those on a vintage piece of light or machinery, everything will go together so well.
Hey !John vraiment un très beau cadeau 🎁, le marteau 🔨 est vraiment superbe. Les pinces aussi. Le carton avec les vieilles pièces électriques, toujours intéressant. La plaque de pub pour les étaux est géniale. Tu as vraiment de la chance d'avoir des amis comme cela. ❤
Another great video, that handle turned out great and so did the rest, I’ve got to try that, I’m sure it will take a long time if ever to get even close to the work you do. As always thank you for your time and knowledge.
Pretty cool stuff! My house was also built before electrification of my area as well as it originally had no indoor plumbing. My house isn't as old as you would think, though. It was likely built between the World Wars as a hunting cabin. The whole house is tongue and groove lumber, no sheetrock or plaster anywhere! It was moved to it's current location probably in the 1970s.
Another great video, ScoutCrafter! 👍🏻 Big thanks to Scott & Jimmy for sending that amazing Estwing hammer they did the wood handle for and sharing a photo of the others they’ve done. They were all quite stunning. Of course your cleanup on the metal took it up another notch. 😉 Excited to see how the Dake plate turns out when you get around to it. Everybody loves the Dake! 😂
Before they went belly up, Moxham Hardware was about my favorite. They were across the street from a US Steel plant so they always had the good stuff on hand. It might have collected dust for 40 years (all the better), but they had it. Oh yes, the Good Ol Days.
That hammer looks great. The caking issues I had with my bead blaster went away when I started using the course coal slag. But, you are exactly right, the media can wreak havoc on some metals. I can't wait to see that Dake Badge cleaned up. Great stuff. Cheers
Great video 👍 That box 📦 had a lot of great stuff. Those hammers in the picture you showed us looked really cool, fantastic!. That Dake nameplate is awesome, can’t wait to see what you do with it. Also the Parker vise sign that they made is really cool, they took that one over the top. That special Master Lock 🔐 is pretty cool to see,and in the original box great stuff! Wow!, N.O.S. Vintage NAPA auto parts needle nose pliers look like they were bought yesterday at Napa auto parts store, really cool to see 👍. Those other pliers in the box 📦 like the Cee Tee Co. pliers would be great to see get restored on the channel. Also nice demonstration of the use of the vintage Kraeuter 5-1/2 jewelers pliers. They too would be nice to see get restored on the channel. Great seeing those box of vintage electrical ⚡️ switches and receptacles. Those devices are way better than todays products that are made of plastic and what not. That awesome looking custom handle EstWing hammer 🔨 you restored turned out super fantastic! 👍. I like the polished finish and the handles that Scott &Jimmy done. You and those guys took that EstWing hammer 🔨 over the top ,Home Run🏟 ⚾️⚾️⚾️👍👍👍. Another awesome shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍
Great show, you did the hammer justice! I can’t wait to see what you do with the name plate. I’ll bet on red. I had some light switches that clicked like yours. They were rated up to 277. Look on the bright side, you have n. O. S switches for your home. Thank You
Great job John!!!! You finished off that hammer 🔨 perfectly!!! Your attention to detail is amazing… no doubt your service time is responsible for that!! Well done sir!! Thanks for sharing this video!! The Old Army Scout…
Wow Circle F switches. My father knew a salesman that gave him boxes of receptacles and switches. I still think I have some left .they have to be 60 years old. My father had those pliers for bending wire for the electrical screw terminals
Nice hammer cleanup. If I come across an old leather handle hammer I may try the laminated wood idea. I like the Charles Parker sign as I have one of their vises. Works fine, it is not a collector item as it has been welded up. I pulled it from an old chicken barn and when I scraped off all the manure I could see the weld. It's a user.
Enjoyed the show allot! WhT a package they sent you., very nice of them. Love the hammer with the wood and the Parker sign. Would like to see how they did that hammer. Thanks
Love the Estwing leather handle hammers. I have several the are in various stages of restoration - thanks to a video you made a few years back I got the nerve to do the restorations. I always enjoy the old electrical show and tell segments. Especially like the old push button switches. I played with the too much at my grandmothers place many years ago,
I have a couple of rooms in my house that still have 3 plug in sockets. You cant buy them new anymore. John i cant wait to see what you do with the Dake sign! 👍🎥🇺🇸
Awesome Estwing, I have one of those big plastic Estwing hammers that used to hang in hardware stores over the hammer area. I prize that gem! I cant wait for the bakelite demo's.
I really like the wood handles on the hammers, what a terrific idea. One could really work some interesting designs into handles. Interesting show today, enjoyed watching. Thank you.
The hammer turned into a work of art, nice job to all. Everything Scott and Jimmy sent you was great, but I have to tell you, that DAKE nameplate is thing of beauty. I just love the old heavy duty name plates from years past.
The hammer looks terrific. Very well done to you, Scott and Jimmy. I love the Parker vise sign. I look forward to seeing the cleaned up Dake sign on your Dake. Dave.
My current house had several of those big body wall switches...and some had 4 different colors of paint where the previous owners just rolled right over them...replaced them all.
This is another fine video, that Estwing hammer came out great. I liked that Master lock he sent you, Ive never seen anything like that, and I could see many ways to use it, And the old Dake name plate is cool. Very hot here in Boston Mass. area, cheers
I picked up my first "Parker" Vice on Sunday from 1902 !! Not many in the UK I suspect. I've seen a "Morgan" vice this morning, in negotiations to pick that one up too with any luck ! Cracking job on that hammer as always !!
That aluminum roller is a water pan roller out of a Multilith 1250 offset press. Those first two panel switches are out of the same offset press. Great video
Love the handle on the hammer man that came out fantastic Man that was sweeet great mosh today god bless take care and god bless 45 he needs it at this time 🇺🇸🗽🦅🇳🇿🇮🇱45
How did you do so much work on the metal portion of that hammer without messing up the finish on that beautiful handle? I would have slipped several times, ground or buffed the top portion of the handle and screwed it up even if I had taped it off. I guess it’s just your skill level after 75 years of restoring tools. Lol.
Hey John please help me with understanding something. I have 2 of my late fathers end nippers. Both have carbide cutting edges which have a gap and don't make contact when the handles are closed completely. What is the intended use of this type of nipper. Thanks for any help you can give.
Hello Steven- Some nippers are meant for hard materials like music wire or even tile! Almost all the cutters with carbide cutters will have a small gap because Carbide is super hard and somewhat brittle. The good news is most hard items that those cutters are meant to cut will “snap” when cut meaning you won’t need the nippers to close all the way. Glass, tile, piano wire and other really hard materials. 😃👍

Those handles are beautiful, and you have done it justice with your polish work. Really cool stuff they sent. Thanks for sharing
Scott and Jimmy's wood handles are amazing!
Cool sign! That hammer is a showpiece!!
Love the hammer.
And the padlock - never seen one of those.

I agree! The polished steel with the blonde wood really works! 😃👍
That Estwing is a beauty. The DAKE! Looking forward to seeing that cleaned up. All the best, ScoutCrafter.
Joe- Wednesday! 😃👍
Fantastic job on the wonderful hammer Jimmy and really love that sign absolutely fantastic great video John really enjoyed that
Great episode. Looking forward to the Dake nameplate restoration 🫡
That is a beautiful hammer John. I can't wait to see the Dake plate when you restore it.

Wow, lot of good stuff! My dad had an Estwing knife in Vietnam with the leather handle and although it's lost, I bought one for my son. Time to restore that, I think.
Is it just me or does anyone else's mouth water when they see an Estwing? 😂

Scott and Jimmy did a great job for the show!!! I love the electrical items. I do my own electrical and I have a problem putting in too many plugs.
What a cool box of goodies. The hammer looks absolutely beautiful!! The Parker vise sign is really awesome too.

I remember my grandma used to plug the iron into a lamp socket in the 1950s - bayonet rather than edison screw, but the same thing.
What a haul! Can't wait for that DAKE nameplate restoration!
Wednesday! 😃👍
I really like my Estwing hammers. Still an all-American company. Those wooden handles take these beautiful hammers to a new level.
great start for a, "Monday" will look forward to Wednesday, thxs for sharing...

That special master lock can be used to lock the valve on a natural gas meter
I have a pin lock that was an old bell phone company lock. Holds my farm jack in the truck now
Wow Circle F switches. My father knew a salesman that gave him boxes of receptacles and switches. I still think I have some left .they have to be 60 years old. My father had those pliers for bending wire for the electrical screw terminals

Amazing handle for the hammer. Creative and beautiful.

Those big display hammers are awesome!!!
The wood handle is amazing what a great idea on a estwing hammer regardless if stacked leather or rubber ones
I really like the wood handles on the hammers, what a terrific idea. One could really work some interesting designs into handles. Interesting show today, enjoyed watching. Thank you.

My current house had several of those big body wall switches...and some had 4 different colors of paint where the previous owners just rolled right over them...replaced them all.
The Master lock looks like one for locking a gas meter valve.
That is an awesome box of goodies! That hammer is absolutely gorgeous. Great job on the finishing work! Thanks again and see you Wednesday
Hammer is outstanding makes me want to find an old hammer and restore it.
Great show. I bet those switches and plugs would out last anything made now.
Hi John. What a great show today. Man l really love that hammer. What a gem. Have a great day. 👍👍❤...
This is another fine video, that Estwing hammer came out great. I liked that Master lock he sent you, Ive never seen anything like that, and I could see many ways to use it, And the old Dake name plate is cool. Very hot here in Boston Mass. area, cheers
I picked up my first "Parker" Vice on Sunday from 1902 !! Not many in the UK I suspect. I've seen a "Morgan" vice this morning, in negotiations to pick that one up too with any luck ! Cracking job on that hammer as always !!
Those pin style pad locks are quiet popular here in Kent, UK on farm gates.
That aluminum roller is a water pan roller out of a Multilith 1250 offset press. Those first two panel switches are out of the same offset press. Great video
Wire you are the man! 😃👍
Great old switches made by circle F in Trenton NJ my home town 👍 beautiful hammer too 👍
Those inline switches are awesome
Sweet ass hammer!! Man that nice!! The Dake Plate is awesome I am really lookin' forward to seeing that Scoutcrafterized!!!
The Dake sign reminds me of Keith Rucker's video on the USS Iowa machine shop. Big old Dake sitting there.
Thanks Scout!
Love the handle on the hammer man that came out fantastic
Man that was sweeet great mosh today god bless take care and god bless
45 he needs it at this time 🇺🇸🗽🦅🇳🇿🇮🇱45
Nice video.
The other day I saw a video of the machine shop on the Iowa battleship. It has a Dake!
Always informative.... Great hammer
My favorite part of all that NOS stuff is the use of slotted screws. Do you think you'll mount the Dake sign on your Dake? Great show.
Brian- I tried but it wouldn’t fit- Wednesday Dake Plate day!
That Master Lock looks like it could work with a "Lock Out-Tag Out" system?
Wow! Scott and Jimmy presented you with Christmas in July! Their work is excellent! Kudo's gents. Teamwork at its best on the hammer. 😀👍
You can’t have too many hammers 😊
Maybe Western Forge on the Needle Nose ??
How did you do so much work on the metal portion of that hammer without messing up the finish on that beautiful handle?

John- I was so nervous working around that beautiful handle! 🫣😂👍
New Britain made Napa and craftsman tools

So was the grizzly vise sign old or new?
Jimmy and Scott made that brand new from a scanned picture from an antique Parker Vise catalog. New sign 100 year old design! 😂👍
