The pivoting head is intended to help with pulling nails, not while hammering them. Crescent and Craftsman both currently make a hammer with a pivoting claw feature.
My great grandfather was a butcher and farmer. He passed in 1960 where I was born in 68. Anyhow, I have his butcher knives, meat saw, clever, and meat hooks. We had a house fire in 2014 and all the handles but 1 burned. We'll I had a walnut log from his farm, and had it cut into planks. Of those I got 1 plank and once settled in my new home, I am going to restore all his knives with wood from his farm.
I was a beef lugger when I got out of school. Did it for 5 years. A lugger carried beef quarters on their shoulders, front and hind and carried them into a truck trailer backed into a stall of the packing house. The short hooks were used for the hind quarter and the longer hook for the front quarter in the trailer ceiling rail. We would run with either the hind or front quarter on our shoulder into the trailer and run back for another. My shoulders bled for 2 weeks before I developed calluses on them. Osha outlawed lugging not long after I quit. It was not a job 99 percent of the population could do but it was the highest paying job in the packing house. I met a lot of great people that lugged with me. Tough times that kids now days would never do.
@@stewartalbert3523 Im sure they appreciated your gift. I did a lot of drinking as did the other luggers. I think we were trying to forget the hard work and pain we went through each day. What part of western Iowa? I worked for Dubuque Pack in Northwest Iowa.
Well, I guessed two of them correctly.🥳 Glad you mentioned Thor Heyerdahl and his postwar ‘Kon-Tiki’ expedition on a balsa wood raft; travelling over 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. Well worth reading about. 👍🇬🇧👍🇺🇸👍
Thank you Mr Pete. I have learned a lot today. I now know what those little straps are for, on the shoulders of uniforms... it's so you can sleep standing up. I seem to recall a cheesy commercial for a hammer like that, back in the day. As a side note I found an assortment of those good transfer screws in a Gersner box that my wife gave me for Christmas one year. Have a great day.
Very interesting. The meat hooks are for different purposes. The short one is for hanging hind quarters of beef, the hook being inserted behind the Achilles tendon and the long one is for hanging fore quarters, the hook being inserted between the ribs.
'sfunny ... I've used a razor-plane for decades, and I think that they're fantastic tools. And, you can trim a huge variety of woods. Mine is of a slightly-different design, but essentially the same as the larger of the two which you have there. And, you don't 'chip the blades'. They're really quite durable.
I remember at school I had to make a boat out of a piece of pine and primarily used a rasp and a "Davidschaaf", I guess most Dutch kids back in the day learned how to use these little planes. They do cut pine like butter when used correctly.
@@mrpete222 The de Havilland Mosquito on the other hand, was constructed mostly from plywood including a layer of Balsa. The rest of the plane was doped canvas... :-0
I am 75 and have been a woodworker for 60 years (more if pounding nails into wood to make boats) and have never seen a hammer like that. And I would be pouting if I was given that hammer at any occasion. Nail pulling might be the only logical use but that is what pry bars are meant for. Great video Mr. Pete, I will resist the urge to order the razor blade planes!
Keylever Bender Usage - Item 2 (also called a typebar bender). The keylever bender’s purpose is to align the typeface with the platen by bending the typebar. The typeface is the part that prints the character; the typeface has a mirror image of the character. The type bar has the typeface soldered to it. The platen is the large rubber roller that the paper goes around to allow the typewriter to type the characters. The typeface needs to be aligned with the platen - both up and down and tangent to the platten. The Keylever Bender allows minor adjustment to be made to the typeface alignment. Sometimes, the alignment is too far off so the solution is to resolder the typeface to the typebar.
Good Morning Mr. Pete, I haven't seen a set of transfer screw punches for decades, I used the smaller ones which contained the center punch inserts inside the installation handle.
Modern abattoirs typically use two types of meat hooks: roller hooks and slider hooks. The rollers can carry an entire carcass straight from the killing box through being parted in halves. Once the halves are cut into quarters, these are transferred to sliding hooks. The rollers obviously have a roller they hang from and get pulled along by a chain. The hooks are fairly high tech as they have NFC tags which keep track of where they are and what they're carrying along with traceability tags on the actual meat. I happen to have a roller hook in my garage. Very nicely made piece of kit.
If I remember correctly, Kon-Tiki raft was built using 9 giant balsa logs, which were lashed together with no boots, screws, etc…. Toward the end of the journey, the logs had absorbed so much water that the raft was in danger of sinking. It was a true-life demonstration that confirmed the theory about how the early migration of men happened. Can you imagine the guts it took to launch yourself into the ocean with no idea whether or not you would find a suitable land on the other side of the ocean? Thor also built a large raft out of thousands of very light reeds, again lashed together with cords or rope. Thank you for this series! I get about half of them right, or at least on the right track.
Yes, I read both of the books and loved it In fact, I built a raft and went down the Illinois river 200 miles. But mine was based on oil barrels, L O L.
Now waiting for that anactdote! The good thing with those blades is that you never had to sharpen them. Very nice for model-making and you don't need that loud and big sharpening machine or handstone. Just sit down at the livingroomtable on a saturday-evening with an old newspaper below for the dust and shavings and slowly model your model further. It all stays on the newspaper... so your mother/wife will not complain (and she can do knitting in the same room). About planes: never, ever put them face-down ... especially on sth harder then light soft woods with the blades down.
You are right about Kon-Tikt made of balsa. Did you ever watch Adventures in Paradise? Your mention of the raft made me think of a friends mother who had the book ( I can still visualize the cover with the raft) and then that thought led me to the non-related TV series.
The little black finger plane will cut any wood with a sharpe iron. Those razor planes on the other hand are as you said basically novelty items you'd get out of a catalog or off late night TV lol.
I love watching these videos. I always learn something and the humor is decent. I loved the comment about not going to finish straightening the brass rod and proceeds to straighten the brass rod!
Yes, Thor Heyerdahl did build the Kon-Tiki out of balsa logs! I loved that book. Have you seen the move? It's not bad, but it won't beat your imagination if you remember reading the book.
I think that bendy head hammer could be quite usefull in some tight situations. I know its just meant for the claw end but the hammer end could be usefull. I made a hammer with an extended head I added about 6" to it. I use it quite often to get into tight places where there is no room to swing the rest of it. The razor planes are probably not meant for wood. Maybe leather or something. Those could be handy for certain things no doubt. My friend went to school for violing making he always liked showing off his cute little planes.
When I was a kid we hicked in a nearby woods and there was an abandoned slaughter house and there was hooks like that hanging So I recognized them right away.thanks for the video and Merry Christmas to you and yours.mike
Great video, always amazed at the specialty tools that have been developed through the years. The wife gave me an Ibex plane for my amateur guitar building hobby, but quite pricey! Speaking of wives, don't forget the Mrs. hanging in the closet. Get her down when nap time is over.
There have been a few times in my life where I would have reached for that hammer to pull a nail. Just because the nail ended up in such a way you couldn't get the claws under it with the normal hammer. If you're going to have to get another tool anyways, why not? That said, I'm sure it'd be a pouting disappointment the first time I tried it.
I have the large one. It's handy for pulling wood, shrubs or other out of the ground with chains or other. Also towing small vehicles like garden tractors or trailers.
i was watching another channel he was using one of the hammers he knew how to use it to can not remember what channel too he has 3 million followers to
Lyle, as always thanks for the education. I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember some of the PT boats made partially from balsawood do to its floating capabilities.
You are half right they were made with marine plywood. Probably because of a steel shortage, and I think it had to do with the fact that magnetic mines would not be attracted to the hull
I remember those old typewriters because my great-grandparents had one. They very well could get bent arms by some great-grand-kid repeatedly slamming more than one key at the same time. I originally subscribed for "What is it?". Here is an interesting "What is it?": A friend of mine does house clean outs (here in the New England) and demolition. He brought me a hammer he thought was unusual that was strung with wedges and pins with eye loops and had a pick end. With some research I figured out it was a 19th century Austrian made alpine climbers hammer. He sold it for a thousand dollars, which was low.
I try to watch your shows. Awesome job your one on vises was particularly good. I have a Parker number 874 bought it at a garage sale many years ago paid 25.00 works great. Patent 1980 is that when it was made? Just curious.
Thanks for another interesting video. One of the areas of high school physics class I really enjoyed was calculating how deep a body would immerse in water. I know, I am weird.
That adjustable head hammer has a really crude surface finish. My Craftsman sits in a bottom drawer. I have one of those little planes. If I say where I got they will hit me with a spam warning. Anyway I got it in an auction lot. It will knock the sharp edges off a board and will true up the edge off veneer. I am pretty sure they are not for regular planing.
During my time in the military I visited a museum in Norway that housed the original Kon-Tiki raft. Very interesting! I have to admit I knew nothing of the story until after that visit.
4:50 on the channel Pask Makes, he just made two little planes like this, (small, one flat, one curved) called finger planes, which he used to shape the curved surfaces on the inside and outside of the back of a guitar.
Kon-Tiki was balsa; the rafts used in the Ra expeditions were made from reeds. I loved reading all those types of adventure books when I was a kid. The other books I read a lot were the cryptozoology books by Wiley Ley & similar. (Note that these aren't "Bigfoot is REAL!" books; they are science based, with sections on what some people believe/believed)
I don’t know what the difference is between your razor plane and the set that I have but mine work perfect on balsa. Just like a cast-iron plane would.
The hammer isn't all that absurd. Consider if you simply cut the hammer head off. They make adjustable prybars that aren't that much different. As a hammer though, I bet the balance is terrible.
Meat hooks were used in the movie Casino to display the deceased snitches in meat freezers. Henry Hill narrated the scene that it took x amount of days to thaw the body out for identification.
Your students may have not known, but this son of one of the Corey Brothers Sawmill could have told you. Well maybe not the balsa as I don't think I saw any of it till I was late in High School and could drive myself to town. The specific gravity for balsa is 0.17, white oak is 0.73. Surprisingly red oak is 0.65.
Its a little comforting somehow that junk like a razor blade planer was made so many years ago and its not all a silly grift just today because people are getting dumber. I'll bet those razor planers would be great for shaving cheese!
Back when I was in junior high, my buddy got one of those switch blades where the blade came straight out of the end with a spring. He was in the next row over from me and had it in his front pocket and I guess messed with it and the blade came out, cut a hole through his jeans and blade was on the outside. The teacher, Mrs B, saw us and came over immediately. He kept his hand over the blade and when she was looking to see what it was, thought he had a boner and started laughing and walked away. "These things happen" she said. I always liked her.
She was the best teacher I had for whatever those classes were for. Pretty too. (English maybe) She challenged the class to do a project and I remember several of us chose to make an 8mm movie, cut and spliced many times to match the soundtrack of the record "Along came Jones" by Ray Stevens. We had a damsel in distress, an evil gunslinger and a marshal dressed in white. I did the filming and editing. We actually tied her to the railroad tracks with some big rope and a train coming (she was rescued, with the train horn blowing a lot and locking up their brakes). He later tried to blow them all up in a mine. We found a small cave and had some impressive looking dynamite and real fuse furnished by the guy with the switch blade. In the end, she took a stick to both of them. We won the top grade with our film. It might have been the most fun I ever had in school @@mrpete222
you have very poorly judgement with tools the same hand plans could be used to build the Kenney machine boxes ingends to a tool you would not ever use don't judge how poorly use it i do that the Starrett can improve their callipers better too they have a hard time hammering a 12 inch nail into steel that how you saying it about the plane Saying Go don't put the cart before the horse lol or Don't saddle a dead horse lol you have a wonderful channel topic what is it why i like this

That sounds like a real tough job. My neighbor, Tommy, did that for lasalle County meat packing for many years.
I hauled swinging beef from western Iowa to the east coast . Always took the lugger crew a small bottle of whiskey and coffee ,

Funny, had a set of transfer screws laying unused in a drawer for 4 years. Just a few days ago I needed them.

I have a small razor type too and agree with what you say. Like most tools they get abused and then blamed for not being up to standard.

If I remember my documentaries right, Howard Hughes used balsa wood extensively in construction of the Grey Goose. Thanks.
Wrong, he used spruce wood. Hence the name the spruce goose.
Aviation Plywood with very thin perfect layers of hard wood is just beautiful in one of HH's record holders.

It is a nail puller. The hammer head end is for striking with another hammer to get out the really shirt or deep nails.
Oh that switchblade is GORGEOUS!!!
Kon Tiki is a wonderful real life adventure to read. There is also a museum for it and a web site.
LOL (but I was really laughing out loud) for the "wife sleeping on a meat hook" joke.
Brings images of ads for slasher movies to mind. Well, I trust his wife is (otherwise) okay.
There is or was a Kromer Cap Co. out of Chicago that made railroad caps. The man who started it was a US citizen from Chicago.
I have a crow bar that uses the same principle as tha hammer, foot can be set at any angle, and i would say it is my best ever tool buy
This was an excellent episode. Its great when your making jokes. 👍🏻
'Roebuck wasn't looking' & 'sleeps on a meat hook', priceless!

What happened to episode 88a? I can't find it anywhere.
I have an aluminum plane like that and I used it with no problems on top of a sticking interior door .
Interesting video, enjoyed it. Stories of teaching the kids and some of the things you had to endure would be interesting also.

I've seen that kind of razor plane sold as for removing the overlap of wallpaper when remodeling.
Regarding balsa wood, rafts and Kon-Tiki, "balsa" means "raft" in spanish 😉
I remember reading that Thor Hydal crossed the Atlantic in a raft made entirely out of News Clippings about himself . 🤣
Norway didn't want Thor H. adventuring anymore, the Museum & display construction costs were killing'em.
Ending on a cliffhanger involving a switchblade. Sounds good to me

I think that the Kon-Tiki raft was made from bundles of Papyrus (a type of reed?).

Thank you for showing the transfer screws!
I will look for a set!
That adjustable head hammer has a really crude surface finish. My Craftsman sits in a bottom drawer. I have one of those little planes. If I say where I got they will hit me with a spam warning. Anyway I got it in an auction lot. It will knock the sharp edges off a board and will true up the edge off veneer. I am pretty sure they are not for regular planing.
I have seen a hammer with the adjustable angle head. It is similar to an adjustable pry bar.
That razor blade plane would work perfectly as a leather shaving tool
Every time I hear Balsa wood, I always think back to the balsa planes we use to buy for .29 cents in Woolworth's.
Me too, but we only paid $.25. From Bowmans hobby shop.
During my time in the military I visited a museum in Norway that housed the original Kon-Tiki raft. Very interesting! I have to admit I knew nothing of the story until after that visit.

I think you were the only one to “ get it”
I think it more for the claw end, gives you better reach and leverage

I think somebody is telling a tall tale! about the meat hooks.
I remember Thor!
Back when I was in junior high, my buddy got one of those switch blades where the blade came straight out of the end with a spring. He was in the next row over from me and had it in his front pocket and I guess messed with it and the blade came out, cut a hole through his jeans and blade was on the outside. The teacher, Mrs B, saw us and came over immediately. He kept his hand over the blade and when she was looking to see what it was, thought he had a boner and started laughing and walked away. "These things happen" she said. I always liked her.
lol
She must have been an awesome teacher
She was the best teacher I had for whatever those classes were for. Pretty too. (English maybe) She challenged the class to do a project and I remember several of us chose to make an 8mm movie, cut and spliced many times to match the soundtrack of the record "Along came Jones" by Ray Stevens. We had a damsel in distress, an evil gunslinger and a marshal dressed in white. I did the filming and editing. We actually tied her to the railroad tracks with some big rope and a train coming (she was rescued, with the train horn blowing a lot and locking up their brakes). He later tried to blow them all up in a mine. We found a small cave and had some impressive looking dynamite and real fuse furnished by the guy with the switch blade. In the end, she took a stick to both of them. We won the top grade with our film. It might have been the most fun I ever had in school @@mrpete222
Now I understand why men called women's hands meat hooks
