I knew you’d appreciate those awesome hangers 👍🏻. Beautiful work on those pliers! Thank you so much for kind words and your constant support of my little channel! Not only did you get me to 2k you absolutely catapulted me past it!
1983, I made a fast food delivery to a lady on the former Plattsburgh Air force Base. She asked me if I was to be tipped. So I explained some people tip and most others don't tip. The lady said "Oh" and shut the door in my face.
Your furnace is a testament to times gone by; the name says it all. Even the plaque is a work of art, and nothing heats like an oil burner. Perfection!
Hi John ..... Haven't commented for ages but the nut flying off and under the bench had me and the wife rolling on the floor and talking about all the times that has happened to us. As always mate keep up the great work and thank for so many years of great entertainment.... Jeff and Deb Brisbane Australia
Right On John! 🙌 I remember when I was young, working at a gas station in Jersey. It was Christmas Eve and the snow was coming down. I had the fingerless gloves on to pump the gas and count the cash 💵. This is back in the day when people payed in cash for gas. ⛽️ But on that Christmas Eve someone gave me a $5 dollar tip and I never forgot that till this day. Of course I always gave the best service I could give. Back in those days I would check oil and fill tires. It was a different time. Loved today’s episode. Thanks!
Those hangers are pretty interesting--hard to believe those are over 100 years old! Nice job with the Kraeuter pliers. I knew something bad was going to happen with that nut the way you kept showing it to us! I would have cussed myself out for days if I lost it like that--the amazing part is your skill with the lathe and that it only took you a half-hour to fabricate a new nut. That's awesome and well done!
Hi John, your pre-mosh rant was spot on especially service people. It doesn’t cost much to show appreciation for good service. Even if it’s not a tip, but just recognition of a good job and service. Great pliers job and those hangers were unique. I love sites like Hesters and watching the troubleshooting of machines. I’ll check out Hester to get him over the top. Best Regards, John
I always like when you talk about your heating equipment because I'm a HVAC&R service tech for 40 years, 30 years straight but for the last 10, it's only been part of my job as a maintenance supervisor. I've serviced many of those type of boilers including with the previous burner yours had. At some point, looks like you've had the burner updated. Says Petro but it's a rebranded Beckett burner, considered by a lot of us to be one of the best burners on the market. If I remember correctly, your furnace came with a metal combustion chamber. When the burner was updated, they probably updated the combustion chamber as well. Enjoyed the show as usual, my friend 👍😎🤠
Never thought about it from the view of a kid today, but trousers sound like a kind of fish 🎣, as in “I filled my creel with a batch of fresh trousers!” 😂
Great job John!!! I’m 72 and I remember “dungarees”!! Catholic school in the late 1950’s was “trouser” time…. You got those pliers looking better than new!!! Thanks for sharing!!! The old Army Scout…
I loved the faces at the end Scout😂😂. Tipping, it’s not big here in Australia except at restaurants, as in real restaurants not McDonald’s. Before we went to Hawaii I had to google tipping in the US. We got to the hotel and I tipped the bloke at the counter $20, and a couple of days later we went on a week long cruise around the islands. When we checked back into the hotel the same bloke was there and met us with a huge smile and told us he had upgraded our room. I think it was the biggest hotel room we’ve ever stayed in, empty but big. We have a regular courier and one stinking hot day I took him out an ice cold can of Coke, I’ve never had a problem with my parcels since. If I’m not home they’re always put somewhere safe. Now when he comes he gives the dog a pat and has a brief chat and if it’s hot he gets a Coke. As you say, small acts of kindness can go a long way. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Those hangers! I’ve never seen those or anything close. Perfect for hanging up your trousers. Or dungarees. I love the “old” names for current things. Great job on the pliers.
Great job on those pliers. A really well-built pair of pliers are a joy to use. Unfortunately, most are not that well made.. I will have to keep an eye out for that model on the yard sale/auction circuit... Many moons ago, when I lived across the bay from you (Belford, NJ 1977-1982), our house had an oil-fired furnace that was a converted coal-fired boiler that fed steam radiators throughout the house. It worked really well, but it sure did use a lot of oil. I have forgotten what the make and model were, but it was built extremely well. Lots of heavy, ornate cast iron... I believe it dated from around the turn of the last century. With the price of fuel today, that thing would be a monster...
Sir, I envy your American Standard. That large, flat, level, gently heated surface - so perfect for drying painted objects, curing glued joints, softening stiff materials - and resting yeast doughs (eg. cinnamon buns). And you get heat too.
Nice Job restoring the Victors! I have a set of The Victor Juniors I need to clean up. They are the 5 1/2 version of these. I also have a set of Kraeuter GripKut Junior pliers that have an interesting history and need a cleaning.
Hah, I guess you won't be needing to go to the Tanning salon any time soon John, you needed your welding goggles on, that furnace is a beast ! 😉 "You don't want to lose this part believe me" (x3) - boy do I feel your pain John, been there done that got the T shirt, there's only so far a magnetic pick-up tool will save you ! Great Job on the pliers, it's always a dilemma to remove plating, but that's such a nicer finish now !
John, ive got a vintage PEXTO N9-7 plier that looks almost identical to your Kraeuter Victor plier. The only difference is that mine has a cross hatch pattern on the handles, instead of the tell tale Kraeuter art deco pattern. Like yours, my screwdriver tip is all jacked up. Thank you for giving me the courage to tackle this resto.
As kids born in the 60s, the 3 types of long pants my brother and I had were blue dress pants for school, church & cub scouts, dungarees and corduroys.
Tipping - heh I live in Middletown, NY … After the last snow, my mailman took the time to write me a note. “If you don’t shovel out the mailbox, I won't deliver the mail”. NOW, he was obviously able to reach the box to leave me the note. What happened to delivering the mail - in rain, sleet or snow? He drives a truck for goodness sake. Give it a little gas man. I guess to your point, a tip would have allowed him to power on through. Unfortunately, the mailman is not always the guy anymore. Forget about the UPS guy. They leave the package in front of the storm door so you can’t open it.
I have been tipping my letter carrier for 15 years- $20 in a thankyou card every year. The funny thing is she goes on vacation around Christmas time, so I always hold onto the tip until she gets back from her vacation. 😃👍
I live in a large apartment complex. I always tip the maintenance guys and the office personnel around Christmas. If I need anything fixed at my place, they are here almost as soon as I hang up the phone. Then, when they are done, I always give them a little pocket tool for their tool bag. This year was those break away utility knives. Other years, it was LED flashlights, sharpening stones for knives. All sorts of useful things. I don't do it to get preferential treatment, I truly appreciate their work. I wouldn't want to get up at 3 am to be up to my elbows in waste water, fixing someone's clogged commode! It doesn't hurt that they start snow plowing by my truck either!
I also have an old furnace every year I have a service Guy come out to check it out make sure it's running good and every year he says they don't make them like that. Anymore
my Dad always referred to pants as trousers….been a while since I heard anyone call them that funny how wording changes over time…great video and some good looking pliers…🖖
It’s an amazing law of physics that when any small object gets grabbed by by a spinning tool of any sort, said object is hurled in an undetermined direction at the speed of sound and simultaneously becomes permanently invisible. I’ve that found the same thing happens with springs.
The things you say make me feel like I'm 30 years older than I am. I'm wearing dungarees rn. And when I seen those hangers I was very impressed I've seen similar items but those were superb!! .I could use those today to hang my jackets or shirts outside specifically....also I wear a variety of USA made foot wear today I'm wearing my dan post exotic animal series.. Red kangaroo died black cherry.. With lamb skin lining. Stacked leather heel. Raw hide full sole. .just if anyone knows what I'm talking about walk 200 miles in these boots 😂 anyway really beautiful outcome on those pliers scout!!
Ha! Funny story from this afternoon... I blackened a carriage bolt and thought I'd clean up the threads with the wire wheel. Guess what? It went flying! I heard it hit the wall. I knew basically where it was. 15 minutes later, armed with flashlight and magnet stick, I could proceed with the project (I'll upload her in a bit)
I remember trousers, I guess that makes me an ole cogitatin curmudgeon,😮😊. Boy, don’t you hate that when a one of kind part decides to take off for parts unknown and it usually with in feet of where it happens, just makes a fella wanna eat ice cream😂. Nice job on the pliers, they look great, thanks for the video, I appreciate your efforts in producing them.
Great cleanup on the pliers and explaining about peening the nut. It’s nice that you got all new parts for the furnace repair. I too always tip the service guys. That tip goes a long long way. I learned that working for the DS. I always appreciated it when i got a tip and I always went above and beyond for people on the route. Going into their house and removing the old fridge or ac etc.
Frank- My friend’s father was a supervisor in NYC dept. of Sanitation his last name was Rizzo, I remember one day on a hot day. He heard the Sanitation truck coming down the block, and he ran out with a couple bottles of beer and a bag and gave it to the driver. Those were the good old days…. 😃👍
Those pliers came out beautifully. I have noticed that those plated finishes on older tools frequently look crummy. I think this is especially the case with nickle. Nickle plated vintage car radiator shells and trim exhibit the same ugly pitting and peeling. Your restoration is a 100 percent success. I never would have guessed about the Midget hangers. Your comments about tipping are common sense. Tipping has gotten out of control so much I'm hearing the term "tip fatigue."
It's crazy when you lose something like that nut. It reminds me of the time I was taking down a rifle bolt for my father. Needless to say, they were on a 20-year trip. And I only found them when my parents were moving. On top of that, it took about 3 years to find the replacement parts. I can't tell you how angry my Dad was when I lost them. Great video.
The kreuters turned out great,glad to see you still have heat! Your also correct on the tipping topic, especially when they "expect" it for doing hardly anything. See you Friday and thanks again!
Beautiful job once again! Mr. Scoutcrafter. When I was a kid, my mother used to make me wear knickers, I believe they were called in the summer. I know the name trousers but! don't seem to ever remember wearing them, and I'm 77 years old in a few months. Probably because I wore wranglers and Levi's. Thank you, John, keep um coming! I still have an interest. eagle
Tipping shows appreciation. I've surprised many service guys with tips. They were common in the NYC area but when I moved out in the sticks, tips were rare and appreciated. In the Army, I did many Letters of Appreciation as a form of tip. It made me very popular with the medics, mechanics, and civilians. Sounds like an inspection camera might have found the nut for you. Good Luck, Rick
@@ScoutCrafter I did a Letter of Appreciation in 1977 for a DA civilian(Bill). He had served in WWII and Korea. He said that in his 35 years with the Army, this was the first time that anyone showed appreciation. I said that it was very sad that everybody before me had been lazy and unappreciative. Whenever I went to see him for something, my requests got top priority, even over Colonels. My COL was told it would take 4 weeks to get something out of Bill's shop. I went down there and we worked on it together. My COL had it in 6 days. I had to use the "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies" when my COL asked how I'd done it. He was a great COL who allowed this 2LT to argue with him. Good Luck, Rick
Tipping! Yes! Tipped the pizza guy today and the Air Conditioning guy yesterday! Its a New York thing! Doesnt matter where you are, if you grew up in NY, you tip! The ones that drive me nuts though are the old ladies at Denny's that have been leaving a quarter tip for 60 years and still do!😅 Lets see, trousers, slacks, dungarees, all words from the past! Do you remeber Keds and PF Flyers! Lol!
I thought the hangers were tip cleaners for a torch. Way too early for me. Put a small magnet on a stiff wire or a dowell and it'll help you find stuff that other things try to hide. They sure help me with my p-gravel floor! We always worked for zillionaires and you NEVER get tips from them and I like the pliers! A-PLUS! Happy week and I remember Limbaugh hee-hawing about the so-called media having a stroke because of snow coming to New York, like it was the 1st time. I miss that guy! God Bless!
Great Job on the pliers!! You should put your logo on stickers-you have been doing so many great things that inspired me in my shop, I would absolutely put one or two in my shop😃 Keep up the fantastic work👍👍👍
It seems like a good idea to use a small Starrett hand vice for sanding and buffing small parts. But I would of only thought of that after I lost the piece that flew out of my hand. :)
. @hester781 has a great channel. I love his accent and his knowledge and step by step repair of small engines machines. And he'll answer your questions too!
Excellent job on the pliers, look better than new. One day you may find that nut. I have lost many such items and now and again find them years later. Good job you have a metal lathe so you could make a new nut. Looks terrific. Very interesting Midget hangers. I did not know about these. Dave.
For a minute I thought the flame reddened Count Shopcrafter would end our video, but you came through with another great U.S. Flag and blue sky send-off.
Hi Scout Crafter those are nice plyers great job. I once got a nice pair of plyers at a habitat for humanity store they were Kraeuter newer ones than the ones you did but really nice the only thing wrong that little bolt and nut were missing I was able to get one off of a junk pair of plyers and it fit.
The nice thing about those old furnaces is they are repairable. The new ones die after 10 years and that's it, get a new one. Those folding coat hangers are neat. I bet they were made for traveling businessmen like the old business coupe. I think the last car made that way was the 1 gen Dodge Charger. The business coupe was for salesmen who might not find a place to stay or maybe sales were slow and he couldn't afford a room. Still they were for the day when a guy wore a suit coat most of the time. Hinging it and your trousers kept the wrinkles down. I wouldn't be surprised if in some places there were no hangers.
Great video. I have tools with flaking coating. I thought it was the chrome coming off. I have been afraid to take it all down with the flap sander. Might try that. I thought men wear trousers and women wear pants, but a check shows trousers is British English and pants is U.S. English. I thought they were safety razor dispensers. Great video. Thank you.
At first I thought the video glitched, but when you replayed that footage 3 times in a row I kept thinking, "Dang, foreshadowing...." As much as you love Harbor Freight, I'm surprised you don't have those telescoping rods with a magnet at the end. I've got the one the size of a pen and even a big one on a long pole that is evidently for welders. I don't weld (yet!), but it was cool, so I got it. I do use it to find screws and drill bits I dropped on the floor that got mixed in with my wood shavings. Get one of those and you'll probably find a lot of stuff you lost under your bench! :)
Trousers might be somewhat regional, don't recall my Parents, Grandparents or anyone else in the old days ever calling them trousers.........Even though I worked in the steel business without hearing protection my hearing is still very good and when a part flies I can usually locate where it went by hearing it.............Oddly enough the Old Man I worked with spent most of his life in the steel business and he had excellent hearing too...........I learned all my bad habits from him, no hearing protection, no mask and never wore those goggles when using a cutting torch......Oh yeah and no guards on our angle grinders either................And no harness Climbing Steel & Walking on I-Beams........And no hard hats.....................Holy Smokes How Am I Still Alive !!
Hey John, nice job on those pliers, I have a slip joint where the plating is peeling so maybe I'll give it a try. I'm excited I now have 32 subscribers, my goal is 1K.
I can sympathize with losing that nut. I’ve had it happen too with the grinder or buffing wheel. Also just recently when installing an outdoor light fixture I lost a decorative cap nut in the mulch below and had to improvise. You’d never know unless you looked real close but it’s still aggravating.
My Dad wasn’t an HVAC guy, he was an oil burner service man (oil delivery also) He would have appreciated the work done on yours. Do you know when the next Long Island Tool Meet at the Frank Brush Barn is? I looked on Facebook and Google and couldn’t find information. Thank you John Kevin C
I have screws, bolts and nuts getting lost all the time. I gave up looking. I just get my girlfriend to come to the shop and ussualy after trying to explain what the object looks like she picks it of the floor in a few seconds 😂
I believe there has to be another dimension or something under the bench , once I drop a nut or bolt is gone for months until one day it just appears again
I have an old pair of Klein line pliers that have sentimental value to me. I’d love to watch you restore them on your channel. Of course I would pay you for ur time if you’re interested. Love the videos 🤙🏽
Tipping... once I was at a party, I gave a waiter a tip at the beginningof the reunion. I was having some "palomas"( tequila and squirt, lemond, salt and ice) Maybe, it was a mistake to tip, since the waiter, just kept and coming to refill my glass as soon as he saw it haft emty and got me so drunk.
Emphasis on "You don't want to lose this part, believe me." Got it. Wow judging by the marks on that pivot nut and bolt those pliers have served long and well. Probably tossed in the tool box a few times. Like your emphasis on protecting against the metals dust with an N95 mask. Sorry about the frustration of the near flung nut. Those Victors are a nice multi-tool especially for the bench, so many things you can hold steady with it as well as a wire cutting notch at the joint.
Good video John. My god you sound old! (trousers?) All I remember is good clothes and play clothes. And god forbid I should get caught playing in my good clothes!😱😱😱
Another great video, ScoutCrafter! The pliers turned out very nice. I liked your foreshadowing of the loss of the nut when you repeated, “don’t lose this part,” several times like a record skipping. 😅 Lost count of the number of times I’ve had to go spelunking for lost fasteners, springs, etc under the bench. 😂 As someone who works in the service industry I completely agree with you about tipping, it’s not so much about this job but making sure we remember you for the NEXT job! 😅
I knew you’d appreciate those awesome hangers 👍🏻. Beautiful work on those pliers! Thank you so much for kind words and your constant support of my little channel! Not only did you get me to 2k you absolutely catapulted me past it!
Hester- You have helped so many people with your in-depth tutorials it was the least we could do! 😃👍

Furnace Issues made me think about the classic movie, A Christmas Story, where the Dad is always fixing the furnace and cussing while doing it!

Good stuff Bud!! Never seen the Hangers before, had plenty of Dungarees to sit on the Stoop with though!!☻
Never thought about it from the view of a kid today, but trousers sound like a kind of fish 🎣, as in “I filled my creel with a batch of fresh trousers!” 😂

Great job!

“gone forever until the next owners”. as an amateur gunsmith I’m well aware of the phenomenon of the disappearing tiny screws and springs. 73’s.

Nickle plated vintage car radiator shells and trim exhibit the same ugly pitting and peeling. Your restoration is a 100 percent success. I never would have guessed about the Midget hangers. Your comments about tipping are common sense. Tipping has gotten out of control so much I'm hearing the term "tip fatigue."
I love Kraeuter's, your restoration is outstanding, those pliers are simply beautiful.
It's crazy when you lose something like that nut. It reminds me of the time I was taking down a rifle bolt for my father. Needless to say, they were on a 20-year trip. And I only found them when my parents were moving. On top of that, it took about 3 years to find the replacement parts. I can't tell you how angry my Dad was when I lost them. Great video.
😂. I was fuming! 🤬😂👍
The kreuters turned out great,glad to see you still have heat! Your also correct on the tipping topic, especially when they "expect" it for doing hardly anything. See you Friday and thanks again!
Beautiful job once again! Mr. Scoutcrafter. When I was a kid, my mother used to make me wear knickers, I believe they were called in the summer. I know the name trousers but! don't seem to ever remember wearing them, and I'm 77 years old in a few months. Probably because I wore wranglers and Levi's. Thank you, John, keep um coming! I still have an interest. eagle
Tipping shows appreciation. I've surprised many service guys with tips. They were common in the NYC area but when I moved out in the sticks, tips were rare and appreciated. In the Army, I did many Letters of Appreciation as a form of tip. It made me very popular with the medics, mechanics, and civilians. Sounds like an inspection camera might have found the nut for you. Good Luck, Rick
Rick- A letter or call to the boss does tremendous good for everyone! 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter I did a Letter of Appreciation in 1977 for a DA civilian(Bill). He had served in WWII and Korea. He said that in his 35 years with the Army, this was the first time that anyone showed appreciation. I said that it was very sad that everybody before me had been lazy and unappreciative. Whenever I went to see him for something, my requests got top priority, even over Colonels. My COL was told it would take 4 weeks to get something out of Bill's shop. I went down there and we worked on it together. My COL had it in 6 days. I had to use the "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies" when my COL asked how I'd done it. He was a great COL who allowed this 2LT to argue with him. Good Luck, Rick
Pliers came out fantastic!, Mr. John! Great video - ending was awesome!
Those hangers are super cool! Oh the flying nut ! How well I know that scenario. 🤣 Pliers look great !
Another great video today, John. Yes I do remember trousers and thank you for losing a part. I thought I was the only one doing that lol.
Allen- I’m the best at losing stuff! 🫣😂👍
Tipping! Yes! Tipped the pizza guy today and the Air Conditioning guy yesterday! Its a New York thing! Doesnt matter where you are, if you grew up in NY, you tip! The ones that drive me nuts though are the old ladies at Denny's that have been leaving a quarter tip for 60 years and still do!😅 Lets see, trousers, slacks, dungarees, all words from the past! Do you remeber Keds and PF Flyers! Lol!
I thought the hangers were tip cleaners for a torch. Way too early for me. Put a small magnet on a stiff wire or a dowell and it'll help you find stuff that other things try to hide. They sure help me with my p-gravel floor! We always worked for zillionaires and you NEVER get tips from them and I like the pliers! A-PLUS! Happy week and I remember Limbaugh hee-hawing about the so-called media having a stroke because of snow coming to New York, like it was the 1st time. I miss that guy! God Bless!
Loved the closing scene 😂😂.
Great Job on the pliers!! You should put your logo on stickers-you have been doing so many great things that inspired me in my shop,
I would absolutely put one or two in my shop😃 Keep up the fantastic work👍👍👍
Wow! those pliers turned out great.
It seems like a good idea to use a small Starrett hand vice for sanding and buffing small parts. But I would of only thought of that after I lost the piece that flew out of my hand. :)
. @hester781 has a great channel. I love his accent and his knowledge and step by step repair of small engines machines. And he'll answer your questions too!
Lots is good stuff today John!
Pliers looked awesome! Thank You for sharing
Excellent job on the pliers, look better than new. One day you may find that nut. I have lost many such items and now and again find them years later.
Good job you have a metal lathe so you could make a new nut. Looks terrific.
Very interesting Midget hangers. I did not know about these.
Dave.
For a minute I thought the flame reddened Count Shopcrafter would end our video, but you came through with another great U.S. Flag and blue sky send-off.
Those hangers are awesome... Thought there were a weird kind of feeler gauge. Lol.Great stuff
Hestor has an impressive sticker!
I'll check him out; Thanks SC
Really nice job. Love the pliers.
Great job! I hate when you lose the nut or bolt!
Hi Scout Crafter those are nice plyers great job. I once got a nice pair of plyers at a habitat for humanity store they were Kraeuter newer ones than the ones you did but really nice the only thing wrong that little bolt and nut were missing I was able to get one off of a junk pair of plyers and it fit.
The nice thing about those old furnaces is they are repairable. The new ones die after 10 years and that's it, get a new one. Those folding coat hangers are neat. I bet they were made for traveling businessmen like the old business coupe. I think the last car made that way was the 1 gen Dodge Charger. The business coupe was for salesmen who might not find a place to stay or maybe sales were slow and he couldn't afford a room. Still they were for the day when a guy wore a suit coat most of the time. Hinging it and your trousers kept the wrinkles down. I wouldn't be surprised if in some places there were no hangers.
1939 Ford Business Coupe- Still holds up today as absolutely beautiful. 😃👍
Great pliers.
Great video. I have tools with flaking coating. I thought it was the chrome coming off. I have been afraid to take it all down with the flap sander. Might try that. I thought men wear trousers and women wear pants, but a check shows trousers is British English and pants is U.S. English. I thought they were safety razor dispensers. Great video. Thank you.
At first I thought it was maybe a torch bit cleaner
At first I thought the video glitched, but when you replayed that footage 3 times in a row I kept thinking, "Dang, foreshadowing...." As much as you love Harbor Freight, I'm surprised you don't have those telescoping rods with a magnet at the end. I've got the one the size of a pen and even a big one on a long pole that is evidently for welders. I don't weld (yet!), but it was cool, so I got it. I do use it to find screws and drill bits I dropped on the floor that got mixed in with my wood shavings. Get one of those and you'll probably find a lot of stuff you lost under your bench! :)
I was going to suggest the telescoping magnet from HF too. I've got two of them. I use them regularly.
Friday!!! 🫣😂👍
1:21 Where can I get a blood red toilet and sink? Those 1946 people had all the fun.
😃👍
Lol I usually tip BEFORE work is done. It definitely helps
O man that nut will never leave your shop lol 😂 Does that count as
leaving a “Legacy” ?
Thanks for the video Johnny
Al- I will find it the day I move. 😂👍
Trousers might be somewhat regional, don't recall my Parents, Grandparents or anyone else in the old days ever calling them trousers.........Even though I worked in the steel business without hearing protection my hearing is still very good and when a part flies I can usually locate where it went by hearing it.............Oddly enough the Old Man I worked with spent most of his life in the steel business and he had excellent hearing too...........I learned all my bad habits from him, no hearing protection, no mask and never wore those goggles when using a cutting torch......Oh yeah and no guards on our angle grinders either................And no harness Climbing Steel & Walking on I-Beams........And no hard hats.....................Holy Smokes How Am I Still Alive !!
You can really count your blessings! 🫣😂👍
Give a tip, or coffee and a cookie, or offer soup at lunch time in the winter. Mechanics remember that.
I can't believe you didn't get the marshmallows out at the end!
🔥
Great job on those pliers and especially recreating the nut wow that came out amazing 👍
Where do those parts go when they fly off!? I think another dimension. Surprised they can get parts for your boiler. Thanks for the video.
Great pliers, well done sir. Love the ending 🤣🤣
Hey John, nice job on those pliers, I have a slip joint where the plating is peeling so maybe I'll give it a try.
I'm excited I now have 32 subscribers, my goal is 1K.
BTW, I don't even know how many miniature, springs, screws and pins I have lost over the years. At best, my find rate is about 50% - LOL!
Right! It’s about 50%!!! 😂👍
That was a very interesting shape on the pliers jaws. I had not seen those before.
Get yourself one of those telescopic magnets, great for retrieving stuff you’ve dropped in awkward places.
I have 4! My problem was I had stupid ear protection on and couldn’t hear where it wound up after ricocheting a dozen times. 😂👍
I can sympathize with losing that nut. I’ve had it happen too with the grinder or buffing wheel. Also just recently when installing an outdoor light fixture I lost a decorative cap nut in the mulch below and had to improvise. You’d never know unless you looked real close but it’s still aggravating.
Great job on the pliers, lucky it must have been a standard size thread for the nut you made!
Yes- 1/4x28. 😃👍
Wow. Right on
In the UK, pants are what we wear under our trousers!
Mike- Here in the states some goofballs wear their a pants below their butts! 😂👍
Swing a magnet under that bench!
My Dad wasn’t an HVAC guy, he was an oil burner service man (oil delivery also) He would have appreciated the work done on yours.
Do you know when the next Long Island Tool Meet at the Frank Brush Barn is? I looked on Facebook and Google and couldn’t find information.
Thank you John
Kevin C
Hi Kevin- This Thursday Feb 22- 6pm Frank Brush Barn Smithtown LI
Thank you,, see you there
I have screws, bolts and nuts getting lost all the time. I gave up looking. I just get my girlfriend to come to the shop and ussualy after trying to explain what the object looks like she picks it of the floor in a few seconds 😂
Scout is the man
TIPS, as an acronym, means "To insure Proper Service" I do too!
I believe there has to be another dimension or something under the bench , once I drop a nut or bolt is gone for months until one day it just appears again
I have an old pair of Klein line pliers that have sentimental value to me. I’d love to watch you restore them on your channel. Of course I would pay you for ur time if you’re interested. Love the videos 🤙🏽
My tip to the pizza lad is shut the gate behind you😊
Tipping... once I was at a party, I gave a waiter a tip at the beginningof the reunion. I was having some "palomas"( tequila and squirt, lemond, salt and ice) Maybe, it was a mistake to tip, since the waiter, just kept and coming to refill my glass as soon as he saw it haft emty and got me so drunk.
6:50 ...when trousers were bought by chest size, not waist.
Emphasis on "You don't want to lose this part, believe me." Got it. Wow judging by the marks on that pivot nut and bolt those pliers have served long and well. Probably tossed in the tool box a few times. Like your emphasis on protecting against the metals dust with an N95 mask. Sorry about the frustration of the near flung nut. Those Victors are a nice multi-tool especially for the bench, so many things you can hold steady with it as well as a wire cutting notch at the joint.
They really are a beautiful pair of pliers. I’m a little prejudiced though. 😂👍
Great video have you done a video on saddle rivets?
I’ve shown a bunch of different rivets but soon I will be visiting Leatherwork again! 😃👍
Good video John. My god you sound old! (trousers?) All I remember is good clothes and play clothes. And god forbid I should get caught playing in my good clothes!😱😱😱
Another great video, ScoutCrafter! The pliers turned out very nice. I liked your foreshadowing of the loss of the nut when you repeated, “don’t lose this part,” several times like a record skipping. 😅 Lost count of the number of times I’ve had to go spelunking for lost fasteners, springs, etc under the bench. 😂 As someone who works in the service industry I completely agree with you about tipping, it’s not so much about this job but making sure we remember you for the NEXT job! 😅
