I love this tool holder. Very good find. Well done on the cleanup and especially the striker cap. This would have been a very useful addition to the late 19th century toolbox, and still useful today. Glad this will be preserved for many years. Dave.
Amazing, isn't it? That tool is likely over 100 years old and all the pieces are there. Great job Magdad! I'm glad you left it original and not too shiny. -Tom
@@beerdrinker6452 That's something I always think about in these videos too. He picked this up at a yard sale and I was wondering if this was purchased new and was in the family all these years.
Very nice old tool. I have run across tool sets from the turn of the previous century. A lot of them have reamers in them. What people were reaming, I don't know. But, you see that tool quite frequently. Nice job on your set.
Really sweet job of refurbishing the tool, nice to see you bring it back to as close to original finish as you could and a great job of fabricating the strike cap for the tool. Thanks for sharing the tool with us, enjoyed watching.
At first I thought this great old tool would be a candidate for the official Magdad Bombay Plum refinishing stain for the wooden handle. I'm glad you kept the original appearance. The wood is attractive, and isn't cracked or broken. I'm amazed that this old tool is so complete -- all it's original pieces. What are the chances of that after 100 years? It was a public service to save this complete, rare American tool. Thanks.
Whaaaat ???!!!! No Flitzing ???!!! Blasphemy !!! When I saw the recess for the missing cap, I was thinking that an old "era correct" coin, glued in there might have been cool. But I am impressed with your solution. Great job!
Nice job on that. Finding one with all the original bits was amazing. I have several of the similar tools that I’ve restored. I like them, good old fashioned ingenuity. You gave me an idea. Adding a graver tool for engraving would be easy and should work well given that nice handle.
Thanks Magdad, that was a great find, It looked pretty poor from the outside, but cleaned up very nicely and having all the bits in good condition is a real bonus !
WOW, I LOVE that magdad ! You did a fantastic job on it and the striker cap is brilliant. To think it was all complete after all those years ! WELL DONE. Take care 🙂
That is beautifully done, great job. I picked a similar tool up at the flea market this last weekend, and I’m looking forward to cleaning it up as well. You’ve given me some ideas about how to go about it, especially with the nylon brush, cloth and mineral spirits. I think I only have five or six tools inside of it though. Thanks so much for sharing and hope you have a great week.
If only old Tools could talk what a history lesson that would be For a Tool that is over a 100yrs old and outstanding condition with all the bits i would say you hit a homerun Mr Magdad outstanding restoration The millers Falls # 5 looks brand new .. Hey take care enjoy your Sunday looking forward to Wednesday Video
Hey !Bonjour Magdad, un grand merci à Madame d'avoir trouvé cet outil. La restauration est superbe pour un outil ayant plus de cent ans et qui plus est contient tout les accessoires. ❤❤
I always love a good Millers Falls tool. I actually only have one or two in my collection. I need to up that number. Great find. I wonder what projects someone back in the day would have used some of those inserts on?
Enjoyed seeing the making of the striker cap and what a great job you did on it too. I was expecting the Bombay Mahogany for the finish, but it came out really nice without it. That Miller Falls Tool Holder looks like new. Good, interesting video. Btw, I recently picked up a can of Minwax Bombay Mahogany Polyshades (They didn't have the BEHR) and I really like it. It has the stain and polyurethane in one step.
Hi Magdad , Nice Find And Job. It Looks Great . Nice Job On Making A Bottoming Out Tap. I Also Have Made A Couple of Those. Great For Threading A Blind Hole. One Cool Tool. Pretty Rare I Imagine. Especially with Al The Pieces.
I've recently gotten one of those Millers falls multi tools, just like this one. Its so pristine you can even see some of the sticker on the handle, strangely though all it's bits are gone!
That is a beautiful tool holder, love Millers-Falls. Nice restoration and that is a nice assortment of tools that it comes with. Amazing that you have the whole collection of tools. Looks handy.
What a great find! That cleaned up nicely and the striker cap you made looks great. Maybe we'll get to see you use the gouge with your mini lathe one day.
What did you use on the metal parts to prevent re-rusting. It came out looking awesome, I really love the old growth wood grain handles on old tools, you made this look amazing!
Impressive that you took that multi tool from grimy to gleaming. Definitely the hole making tools dominated that group of bits. That poor tool must have sat in the bottom of a tool box or somewhere where it was unused but collecting the detritus of years. turned out good and deceiving how big a tool it actually is when you show it in relation to your vise.
"pokey thing" = awl/icepick. Good combo tool for things like sewing, grommeting, breaking up materials (wood, ice, small stones). take a page out of Mark Novak's advice and invest in a carding wheel, too -- it'll help with fine detail cleanups like this. Might be worthwhile to see if the patents can be had at reasonable cost. Something like this would be excellent for bushcrafting/hiking/camping.
Finding a complete set is always a real treasure! 😃👍
I was lucky to find it!

Thanks Dave! It was a pricey item back in 1922 and the quality shows.
Amazing, isn't it? That tool is likely over 100 years old and all the pieces are there. Great job Magdad! I'm glad you left it original and not too shiny. -Tom
It would be amazing to know the complete ownership history of that tool.
@@beerdrinker6452 That's something I always think about in these videos too. He picked this up at a yard sale and I was wondering if this was purchased new and was in the family all these years.
Thanks Tom! It is a survivor!
If tools could talk....

Thanks Stephen! I've got a video on square awls coming up on Wednesday!
Very nice restoration.
Thanks Jerry!

Thanks Terry! It was a fun project!
Wonderful to find a complete tool over 100 years old. So many of the pieces could have gone missing. Your restoration was simply perfect.
Thanks Tony! I'm glad all of the bits stayed with it all of these years!
Very nice cleanup. You did a great job on the handle. 👍
Thanks Frank! Millers Falls used some nice wood!
Well done, Magdad! That turned out very nicely. Great job creating the striker. It's amazing that all of the tools were still in the handle. 😀👍
Thanks! It's nice to have all of the tools.
That butt cap was ingenious! Loved this video!
Thanks John! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
It looks so much better now that you restored it and I was impressed you had all of the original tools. Thanks for sharing this.

Really enjoyed your video as always. I have a tool similar to yours and your video shows how to bring it back to life. Thank you sir!
I hope the wood handle on yours has nice grain like mine!
Great find and a great resto. I have a feeling that it was the first time that little saw cut wood.
Thanks! The saw was pretty sharp!
Beautiful job!
Thanks!
That really turned out great. Certainly a keeper for your collection.
Thanks! It will be a good addition to someone's collection.
The power of Chuck compels you.
Chuck is very influential.
Whaaaat ???!!!! No Flitzing ???!!! Blasphemy !!! When I saw the recess for the missing cap, I was thinking that an old "era correct" coin, glued in there might have been cool. But I am impressed with your solution. Great job!
I like your coin idea Steven!
Wow 😂…..MagDad….you hit a home run on that restoration…well done. Great stuff.
Thanks Samuel! I'm glad you like how it turned out!

That's a fantastic tool and great video thanks for sharing your time and your skill Thanks again ☕👍👍
Thanks Brian!
That is fantastic!! Hard to imagine something so old could hold up so well. Great job it really looks NOS.
Thanks! It was a lucky find!
I think the idea of trying a rust remover like Evaporust instead of the wire wheel in order to avoid dulling the file is a good one. Going to try it.
Thanks Pat! I've had some limited success "sharpening" dull files by soaking them in vinegar for a week.
WOW, I LOVE that magdad ! You did a fantastic job on it and the striker cap is brilliant. To think it was all complete after all those years ! WELL DONE. Take care 🙂
Thanks Michael! I'm glad you like how it turned out!
Nice job on the steel striker button. The perfect touch.
Thanks! It definitely looks better than the putty someone had filled the hole in with.
That is such a cool tool. Built so well it lasted 100 years and counting!
It was top of the line 100 years ago!
That is beautifully done, great job. I picked a similar tool up at the flea market this last weekend, and I’m looking forward to cleaning it up as well. You’ve given me some ideas about how to go about it, especially with the nylon brush, cloth and mineral spirits. I think I only have five or six tools inside of it though.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing yours cleaned up!
Great restoration! I think it’s cool that your early multi-tool will last another century or more.
Thanks Sue! I hope it survives another 100 years!
Great Old Tool, the kind of thing I like seeing preserved. Really in very good condition considering how old it is.
It will be a great addition to someone's collection.
I quite literally cleaned up one of these last week and placed it in my 1920's tool box.
I'm glad you found one!
Simply amazing! It shows how tools last when they are taken care of! Is this the oldest tool in your collection?
Thanks Steve! I'm not sure how old it is. Millers Falls made them for a lot of years.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻awesome job and find and with all the attachments. Thank You for sharing Magdad!!!
Thanks Jack! I think it was my favorite yard sale find this year!

Beautiful restoration and preservation of an old piece of history. Thanks Magdad
Thanks Michael!
one of the best old tools you've fond brilliant
Thanks Dave! It was definitely one of my best finds this year!
Amazing to find the complete set MagDad. Just the right amount of cleanup - well done.
Thanks Bill!
I always love a good Millers Falls tool. I actually only have one or two in my collection. I need to up that number. Great find. I wonder what projects someone back in the day would have used some of those inserts on?
The chisel and gouge were definitely used - I had to sharpen them. The tip on the square awl was broken, so it saw some service too.
Awesome find! And a great job on the clean up/ restoration. Amazing it still has all the bits!
Thanks! I think it was my favorite yard sale find this year!
I can't believe you got all the bits!!
I got lucky!
Great find and restoration job. That came out awesome.. It was pretty cool that it had all the bits.
Thanks Mike! That $5 yard sale tool box haul had some nice items!
Great video. Great way to enjoy Sunday morning coffee.
Thanks Eric! I enjoy watching Cold War Motors on Sunday mornings, followed by Mustie1.
Excellent video, and amazing to have a complete set. A rare find indeed.
Thanks! It was one of my favorite finds this year!
Nice find and the restoration turned out great. Nice to have all the original tools still with it.
Thanks! I was lucky to find one with all of the tools!
Nice tool I have one from a flea market, it works great. Nice job
Thanks Joe!
That is a great looking tool. Awesome 👍
Thanks Robert!
That's a cool little kit. I like how you left it more natural. Looked like it worked pretty good too.
Thanks George! Sometimes less is more.
amazing yard sale find! AND it's complete and intact. nice striker fabrication.
Thanks Matt! That $5 toolbox haul was my best this year!
That is a very cool find. A great piece and all the tools with it. fantastic .
Thanks Dale! We go to a lot of yard sales. It's exciting to find some treasure once in a while!
i enjoy these videos very much, and great job as usual
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@357magdad 👍 Looking forward to Wednesday!
Great video. I’ll have to keep an eye out for one of those.
I was happy to spot it at the yard sale!
Hi Magdad , Nice Find And Job. It Looks Great . Nice Job On Making A Bottoming Out Tap. I Also Have Made A Couple of Those. Great For Threading A Blind Hole. One Cool Tool. Pretty Rare I Imagine. Especially with Al The Pieces.
Thanks Wayne! The original cap must have had shallow threads too. Probably why so many of these are missing the cap.
Came out great. Always nice finding bits in old handles.
I was happy it came with all of its bits!
I've recently gotten one of those Millers falls multi tools, just like this one. Its so pristine you can even see some of the sticker on the handle, strangely though all it's bits are gone!
I'd be interested in seeing some photos of the striker cap on yours.

Hello again, 357Magdad
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching tonight's video. Question for you. Again thank you 👌
Thanks George! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Great find!!! The metal came out great.... if I was Chuck I'd fly south! You've been mistreating that boy here lately! 😅
Thanks Vic! He'll have more Flitzing to do soon.
That is a beautiful tool holder, love Millers-Falls. Nice restoration and that is a nice assortment of tools that it comes with. Amazing that you have the whole collection of tools. Looks handy.
Thanks Larry! It is a cool old tool!
That's an awesome find.
Thanks Terry!
Super cool Magdad!
Thanks!
What a great find! That cleaned up nicely and the striker cap you made looks great.
Maybe we'll get to see you use the gouge with your mini lathe one day.
I've got a tiny lathe projects coming up on Wednesday - stay tuned!
Nice old tool! Thanks
Thanks Tony!
I have one, but it has just two or three tools. Incredible you found one with EVERY original tool!
I think it was my best yard sale find this season.
I have one similar to this but has no makers mark. I wish the small mutli-tools made nowadays were as cool and durable.
Unfortunately plastic has replaced wood.
🤮@@357magdad
Nice video.
Thank you!
Millers Falls made nice stuff, and that tool holder turned out great! And what are the chances that all of the tools are there?!
Thanks! It is definitely a survivor!
Another Homerun for 357MD!! RUclips Royalty I say!!! 🙏👍🗡️🔥
Thanks! I found an Old Timer Barlow at the flea market today!
What did you use on the metal parts to prevent re-rusting. It came out looking awesome, I really love the old growth wood grain handles on old tools, you made this look amazing!
Thanks Patrick! I gave everything a couple coats of paste wax.
Pretty cool little multi tool Magdad. Looks great
Thanks Ivan!
What! No Flitz... Poor Chuck.
He'll be back at it on Wednesday!
The great thing it was completely there when found it
I got lucky Larry!
She's a beauty
I agree David!
Great job. Cool find👍

Turned out very nice thank you for the video
Thanks Joe!
Nice tool really cool, wonder would some of those tools work on your micro lathe.
I've got a tiny lathe project coming up this Wednesday - stay tuned!
Good for another 156 years.
Thanks Lee! I hope you're right!
