    Excellent job on the restoration. I'm actually from New Haven, same as the tool and recently lost a leg due to an infection. This is inspiration to get me working in my own shop restoring my dad's and grandpa's tools. Cheers, Pete.

    That is one nice piece. I like seeing people taking old things and bring new life to them. I like buying old things that are different. I have not really seen one like the one you have.

    Love the color you used. Been watching your channel for a long time. Have commented several times. I used to have a huge amount of tools. I sold everything including all my furniture and house. Went on the road in an RV for a year. But couldn’t do it anymore. Now living in an apartment and miss all my tools everyday.

    @davidcoats1037 3 года назад +1

    Good job. That was quite a transformation! I never would have guessed green but I like it. I have a small collection of these crate openers. I even have one that is solid brass. It was so tarnished and filthy that I didn’t even realize it until I started cleaning it. None of mine look as good as yours though. I guess I’ll have to go back and try again. Take care 😃👍🏼

  • @annettemalaski1967

    Beautiful piece of work. I currently scratch around for pocket money disassembling old pallets and making up birdtables, garden furniture and the like for neighbours and friends. I would like to say that would be a great addition to my tool collection but to be honest it is so nice I doubt I could bring myself to use it in anger, so choose your recipient carefully.
    As ever, keep up the good work,
    Dave

    Old school tools rock! Grandpa had a couple of these I remember as a child. He had a lanyard tied to them for when he’d take one out of his pouch, so he couldn’t lose it, nor could anyone borrow it. He used to say “if you put your tools down and walk away, they’ll grow feet and you’ll never see them again” lol. Words of wisdom right there. Nice work! 👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy!

    @ggibbons6867 3 года назад +1

    Very Cool.... Thank you for saying what the thing is. I just found one in my father's old tool set from Grumman Aerospace. (But it's broken, one of the teeth snapped off the nail puller) Had no idea what it was but now it makes sense. I also have two shipping crates in my garage that held ejection seats for an F-14.

  • @kathunt9148
    @kathunt9148 3 года назад +1

    This would be so perfect for what I do! I hand carve unique small pieces and often need a hatchet or pry bar, which I don't own, to break apart wood. Most tools are too big for my wall hands. This looks like it was made for me.

    I am picking up an assortment of old tools tomorrow.
    Going to get a gallon of Evaporust and try my hand at restoration.
    Older tools were made with better metal than the cheap Chinese stuff you can get today.
    Would love to win this classic tool.

  • @wadewells808
    @wadewells808 3 года назад +1

    Beautiful restoration. Fellow Texan here, out in West Texas. Having restored quite a few axes over years, to a mirror polish, I know first hand how much time and effort went into your restoration. It looks quick on video, but the reality is, it generally takes hours of relentless hard work.
    Hope you will enter me into the contest. This is the kind of tool I'd love to pass down to one of my grand kids along with a note on the history of how it was restored. Keep up the good work!

  • @j.davidjacques6499
    @j.davidjacques6499 3 года назад +1

    I remember these from when I was a kid. To have a hatchet AND a hammer was cool enough. We did not know what the other notches were for but it made the tool even cooler amongst your friends. I like what you did with the green inset. I was trying to guess what color you would use. What we older guys (I am 69) would call candy apple green makes this tool pop! Very good job cleaning up the mold lines and thankfully the rust was mostly surface rust. To take an antique and give it new life is very satisfying I'm sure. And you don't get to the level of polish you achieved by saying "Well that's good enough". Very well done indeed. This tool was an original 'multi tool': crate tool, crate hammer, crate opener? For unpacking crates it must have been very useful and maybe still is. Could not guess as to its age. Possibly older than me I am sure. To own this tool restored to this level would be very gratifying to me. It would look good with the few other antiques I was allowed to 'decorate' the family room/man cave with. Would be interesting to know how many people would remember it let alone know its intended use. The hand tools I have kept of my father's and both grandfathers I consider users and keep most in an old 'hip roof' tool box of my dad's. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to give this tool a new home.

    Would love to win the crate tool for my son. We have been restoring tools for a short time. We go to auctions and get tools but on our budget we can't get the good ones. He has collected 2 crate tools and cleaned them up but they have cracks in them. So that is why I would like it for him. We have fun anyway. Where did you get that set of grinding tips? They might be past my budget. Thanks

    Looks like a very useful tool. However, I would have done the paint in black. flat black most likely. and polished the lettering part too. all that polished metal against flat black would look great. besides, like about 50 percent of men, I can't see green right, it generally just looks gray to me. let me win it, and I'll fix that the way I'd like it! lol fat chance of that, I never win anything.
