One of the improvements Adam likes making the most to his shop equipment is adding knobs to their operation. Handwheels, knobs, and machine handles add a tactility to tools that Adam just finds so satisfying. So he was particularly delighted when he came across a king's ransom of unique knobs at a local garage sale--a once in a lifetime acquisition. Let's browse through what's in this collection!

@mudpuddle8805 Год назад

The energy and thought process was outstanding as always! I managed to find a moving sale of a wealthy hoarder. It was pure bliss. The guy didnt care about the money, he cared about who was getting his lifetime collection of tools and equipment. It took me three days of moving stuff with my full size truck and 8'x14' trailer. It has been a year and I am still glowing with joy from what I have acquired in that sale. I occasionally write to the seller to thank him again and tell him of how I am using the things I have gotten from him. I was certainly blessed.

@PhilsJunkDrawer Год назад

My garage sale find this year was at MY garage sale. I was helping an older man load a stool he bought into his trunk, and I saw boxes and boxes of machinist tools. He said they were for sale! I picked up an imperial tap set that had each associated lettered/numbered drill bit, a mini crescent wrench, and some bits and bobs all for the price of the stool he bought!

@TribalGuitars Год назад

Can't tell you how much I LOVED this video! I worked at a 2nd hand store for 15 years and one of the jobs was to cannibalize the junk appliances and other stuff that came in. I had drawers upon drawers (all labeled) with all kinds of knobs, values, handles adaptors, and doodads. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times being that packrat came in handy to bail us out in some way.

@TheMyeloman Год назад

I helped set up a cannibalizing system for the telephones on the AF Base I served on buck in the early 90’s. With rare exceptions, all the phones were the same make & model and have surprisingly few parts, and in short order we had not only the parts to repair said phones, but a wealth of pre-repaired units to take to jobs so we could simply swap them out and only disturb the “customer” very minimally. Learned that from my WWII era grandfather who lived through the Great Depression and grew up a Midwestern farmer. Nothing goes to waste.

@TribalGuitars Год назад

@@TheMyeloman Had the opposite issue with appliances. While some used shared parts many did not, especially if it was an off-brand; or the high-end brands that wanted a lot of things to be proprietary. Cannibalizing also came in handy when someone was looking for a rare part and we could sell them a knob or something for a nice (not outrageous) profit. We used to get the "junk" haul-aways from the appliance stores, and what we couldn't use we took the recyclers. I put a lot of ranges together using several haul-aways. To me, this is how it's all supposed to work, recycling-wise for materials and consumers.

@TheMyeloman Год назад

@@TribalGuitars yeah, I can see how all the different brands & models would mean you’d need a LOT more space to store cannibalized parts. We were lucky in that regard.

@atticbrother8062 Год назад

I really appreciate the attitude to haggling. When you both know the value, I feel a fair price is about respect. I went to an estate sale once, and an older gent was clearing his garage workshop. You could tell it was bittersweet for him, I think it was for medical reasons. He had a pillar drill for 200cad, which is a lot for a garage sale, but well worth it and exactly the infrastructure I needed. He was wary when I asked him over to talk about it. I said "I'll give you 80 to hold it while I go get the rest from an ATM. This is perfect for the home shop I'm trying to start." When I came back, his face completely changed. I got a deal on some vintage hand tools, a router, and some bits and bobs he threw in for free. It was pretty obvious he was glad not just that I was willing to pay fairly, but that I was going to use it, not flip it at the flea market.

I get heat sometimes for not haggling more aggressively, but I prefer when both parties are happy with the outcome, and it's usually a somewhat negligible difference anyway.

@johntatman7477 11 месяцев назад

Haggling isn't just demanding a lower price. Realise the seller has to make some profit, don't penny pinch on a single item, but ask it your buying enough items for there to be room for a discount, Treat people fair and they tend to remember next time round.

@rippah14 Год назад

I think one of my favorite things about watching these types of vids is finding out I am not some sort of weirdo for having boxes of odds and sods in my shop to aid in repairs, reconditioning, etc. I even take apart stuff that is broken to the state of not being repairable and keep parts for spares, reuse, or the like. I think I got it from my dad; I'd feel crappy if I had to go buy a new one of something I could have just saved or restored.

Boxes of old hardware will always be some of my favorite yard sale and auction finds. I bought a 5 gallon bucket full of old brass hardware for 20 bucks last year. Tons of intricate door knobs and escutcheons dating back to the mid 1800's. Can't wait to see how Adam repurposes all these knobs in future projects!

@paulkinzer7661 Год назад

I noticed that, too. And I have seen similar in other RU-vidr's montages. It used to be that, if there was audio in montages at all, you'd often hear just sped up audio with sped up video, but that always seemed off and distracting and of little value (to me, anyway). This kind of chosen-sound-bits ADDS to the content and is really pleasing.

I totally understand finding a box of something wonderful. Recently on eBay I found a lot of Japanese woodworking tools, slightly rusty, in the deal were a good number of Sotomaru nomi. They are a incannel gouge that functions like a chisel and are wonderful for rough work and trimming fine things at the same time. Most American and European tools come out of somebody’s grandfather’s shed smelling like old milk and wd40, these had a completely different aroma, and were individually wrapped in Japanese newspaper and packaged with care. It was a complete score. Whoever sold them, thank you! Adam, enjoy those knobs!!

@wintyrqueen Год назад

I find that if you make a fair offer, you tend to get a fair deal. I’ve often made an offer only to have the person selling refuse it, & counteroffer lower. If you don’t try to rip people off, they tend to treat you well

@Prophes0r Год назад

I agree. But budgets can be tight. $5 should be meaningless in the long-term, but if you are trying to stick to a budget it can mean the difference between eating plain eggs for breakfast this week or being able to toss some cheese/onions/peppers in there. And this can count for both sides of the sale.

@jonathanryals9934 Год назад

I worked at an antique store for years, restoring old furniture to a useable/saleable state. There is definitely some sort of "inside joke" aspect to it, like deja vu from a previous life, as I more often than not would encounter multiple layers of restorations and repairs to the oldest, most cherished pieces. To which I would add my own for the next repairman to find in 50-100 years...

On the box itself it says knobs .25 each or 5/1.00.. so if your estimate of 300 knobs is accurate, that would have been exactly the total price he was asking at $60! I would have said $50.. that is something i would buy as well. I buy almost all bits and bobs at garage sales.

When My father died back in 2016, I had the glorious task of cleaning out the basement. He basically saved every knob, screw and fastener he ever removed. There was a metal box full of nuts, bolts and screws that was so heavy, I had to leave it in the basement because it was too heavy to even get a hand cart underneath. He had several drawers full of knobs, hinges and cabinet hardware. I only kept the organized screws. I have fond memories of digging through that metal box to find a specific type of screw with a specific length and thread, sometime searching for over 10 minutes, but I always came out with what I was looking for. I always had to wash my hand afterwards though.

@AAAndrew Год назад

I not only collect, but I'm also an historian of the history of the US steel (dip) pen industry. I'm pretty much the only one so sometimes I get lucky. I once bought from daBay a box of mixed pens. It had been filling up an antique spice cabinet this guy had gotten as part of an estate. He just dumped them in the largest flat-rate USPS box and mailed them to me. I paid about $100 including shipping. It turned out to have over 60 different models of pens ranging from the 1860s to the 1940s. It was so much fun sorting through them. Because there were so many, and they're so small, I had to do a triple sort: first American vs. British vs. everyone else, then by specific make and number. There were over 600 pen nibs in this one box. It was like every Christmas from childhood combined together. I totally understand the feeling. Great fun.

Note to editor: there's an audio plug-in called Soothe that works like a de-esser but across the frequency spectrum, removing harsh frequencies. The handles through this phone sounded really harsh and Soothe would be perfect for this and a bunch of machine and building sounds in Tested videos, highly reccomend. I know you have a lot of footage to go through so its worth noting that you could just have sooth on the master audio bus, set and forget.

I was once with an Iranian friend in a fleamarket in Beijing, and she had to haggle for me, I just can't get myself to do it, and she managed to, around closing time, to haggle a guy down from ~$100 to ~$20 for an entire set of specialist typesets from a Beijing hospital, all for a Chinese typewriter, so that doctors could insert medical and disease terms that otherwise were missing from the typewriter. Since Chinese has SO many characters, they apparently set the most common on a typewriter, with a special key made to be replacable, so you could switch out for any of all the ones that aren't on the typewriter as standard. And I'm now the proud owner of a set of medical types for said typewriter.😁♥️ Thank you Minaa!❤👍

I just love watching your pure excitement while exploring this bin of knobs that most others would not take a sdcond look at. It reminds me of my many containers and bins of "good stuff" I have a accumulated myself and through my father and his Dad before him. There is potential in most things and seeing your pleasure in finding that makes my day.

This is _so_ the meaning of the "one person's trash is another person's treasure" saying.

He’s like a cat with a new box! Part of the charm of this channel is just seeing the joy with which Adam explores new things.

This is a wonderful example of the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure".

I can so identify with his glee on his find that I feel akin with Adam. I was laughing at most every comment …totally getting him. Nice job on the video edit too - sound track choice on the speeded up sort was perfect! Cheers!
