I remember reaching into the toolbox when I was young and grabbed one of those beat up fiberglass handles and those fiber threads hurt so bad going in and worse if you can get them out...BE CAREFULL!!
I was JUST TRYING to get sticky off a flashlight and threw it away because I couldn’t get off the sticky. Saw the ammonia trick, got it out of the trash, rubbed it with ammonia paper towel and 10 seconds later it was PERFECTLY SMOOTH. Someone was listening to me. Why did this video just appear 30 min after I threw it away?
I have the oil pump , the ratcheting screwdriver, the 14" screwdriver and the nut driver set . They were all my Dad's tools handed down to me.I also have an interesting screwdriver similar to the one you have with the holder on the end. But the one I have is about the same length but the mechanism slides on the shaft causing the two piece slotted end to overlap and grip the screw slot.
good stuff Magdad. I loved that little combination work center at 2:15 with the multiple tool stations. always a fan of wooden handled drivers and a good Barlow. you should be able to patch that eagle oiler from the inside. 👍
@357magdad, So what are the parameters for you to consider to be "officially collecting" a specific branch of tools? More than one, more than two or three? 😂 in your case, you are "officially collecting" alot of things! I approve.
Magdad, I subscribed as promised at the show. Which video has the ice cream that your wife was talking about? I want to make a small batch for my wife and I. Thanks again....
Good talking to you at the show Larry! The ice cream recipe link is in the description of the nutmeg grinder episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P6yV3xsgMgU.html Also check out the kickstarter project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LrI5drsfIio.html
Thanks, brother! I have an older one from a flea market, with a wooden handle; its’ collet is sitting in WD40 right now, in the hopes that it will loosen up while I was looking for your video; Your ideas will surely help. The other Thing that occurs to me as I watch what you’re doing, and contemplating what I am about to do, is, perhaps that electroless us, or a reverse electroless process, might have been a little more time consuming, but perhaps a little easier for your conservation process. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts about that.
Super stuff there, Magdad. I particularly like the Plumb bricklayer's hammer and look forward with great anticipation to a restoration video of the SnapOn ratchet. Thanks for sharing, all the best
That is really cool you now have a matching Plumb set. Those brass oilers clean up awesomely. I think you can solder it and would probably look pretty cool. JB weld in the inside would probably be successful as well and be hidden.
Oh my achin' back. If I could find a flea market like that, I would just go nuts. There were some tables that I would just walk by. But there were some tables, I would just load up. Thanks for the walk through.
Sorry a little late in the game Mr 357 magdad Man you scored on the tool haul The Plumb Hammers were my favorite I would take all 3 hammers and restore them Plumb made really great tools back in its day .. As for the Snap on Ratchet Just for the hell of it I would take it to a Snap on Tool Truck and see if you can trade it in for a new one If i was a betting man i would say NO on the replacement .. great video looking forward to Sundays video
Hey Magdad, I’m so jealous of what’s available over there and the bargain prices. Picking a favourite is tough but I think the screw holding screwdriver gets my vote. I’d go with JB Weld too on the Eagle oil can because trying to get the brass clean enough for soldering will be tough whereas you can be a liberal with the JB Weld on the inside. Thanks for taking us along. I’ve just uploaded a video of a swap meet I went to recently too. I hope you can take a look. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Is that oiler solid brass or brass plated? Either way you should be able to solder those cracks. I think it would make a great project and it would have more character than one that was in perfect condition.
The Chicago Specialty nut driver is a must have when installing sink frame clips. I used one for many years. I probably have one somewhere. Thanks for the video
