Flea market haul "camping edition" I liked the hatchet, but the knife was amazing! I would love to see videos on those as well as the frying pans. Since my heart attack 6 weeks ago i have been living vicariously through you and several others in the tool community. I hope to get back to the shop and have some fun soon. Thanks for all you share!
Oh Man Patrick hope you get back on your feet soon! I'll be doing all three for sure..just might take a while to get to them except the pans..I keep finding them on my work bench..I think the wife is dropping hints...Take care of yourself and talk to you soon.
Hey! I had a big heart attack in 2023 while at the flea mkt! Like you I discovered all the videos on RU-vid and spent 7 months recovering.Now I’m back at it discovering all the cool tools and camping equipment that I learned about from RU-vid videos! Good luck
Of course we will watch, we'll watch you restore anything! That knife brought back memories for me as well. You can get rid of most of the tools in your shop, now that you have that! 🤣. Cool hatchet and that is going to look awesome cleaned up! Thanks for sharing brother.
Good Flea Market haul. That hatchet is really nice. Wood handles are awesome. Would definitely like to see the Hobo knife restored. I think restoring those frying pans on camera is a great idea. Changes things up a little bit. Love the video!
Mike,Mike, Mike!! Thanks Brother. I will be cleaning the hatchet and knife.. I Have to do those pans..Wife's orders.. LOL, I just didn't know if you guys would be interested in it. I like to mix it up a bit. Take it easy and keep fighting the good fight Brother!
How you always come up with such great finds us beyond me , your flea market must be massive ! Definitely do a restore on the pen knife / cutlery set ... 😂 And the boys scouts axe is brilliant find .
Great finds! Can't wait for your restoration vids. Love the the hatchet and I would've paid $25 for it, just for the simple fact around here they would want more😢. Thanks for sharing and see you next time. Have a great week!
Mike, I don't see them around here too often and usually when i do they want big money for them. I am so amazed to have found one in my price range. Take care and see ya soon. Hope all is going smooth with the move.
I'm not a camper, but I think the Zebra stainless mess kit is very cool. Light, practical and convenient. The knife multitool looks just like the one my oldest brother carried for many years. Haven't seen one for years. The Boy Scout hatchet is a great score. I think the leather sheath contributed to the rust on the blade. BTW, in the last video you took those rare wrenches to just the right cleanup level. The light oil gives them a sheen and protects them. They look good on the wall. My comment didnt post.
Hey Pat! I'm telling you as soon as I picked that multitool up I was right back to being a younger me running around the pine barrens of Jersey..We spent all of our time there or at the water fishing.. I think you're right about the sheath so when I get the replacement I don't think I'll keep in on all the time. Thank you for commenting on the wrenches I really wanted to preserve them. I don't know how RU-vid works but Ya everybody is having trouble with comments..
In my brief stint with BSA we learned and called things by the "proper" name. Our scout master and my general rearing from my dad were sticklers for that detail. I only skimmed through the comments, but I didn't see anyone call the BSA hand axe anything but a hatchet. My nerdy childhood instructors taught me that a hatchet is a carpenter's tool. This tool (hatchet ) is hammer length, straight handled, has a straight cutting edge, and a hammer face. A hand axe is a woodsman's tool, curved handle for primary use for chopping and splitting. The butt is intended for only driving soft materials, like wood. The blade is curved and the head is contoured for mild splitting duty with a gentle relief behind the cutting edge wedge before beginning the gentle major taper. The hand axe is a miniature hand held version of a full size or mid size axe. Now approaching 70, I recall my rearing and my emotions won't allow the name misapplication for axes and hatchets. I am too young to have any practical use for a hatchet. My father would still occasionally use his to do some wood shaping carpentry tasks when I was a kid. I was raised to use tools for only the designed purpose to avoid damage to the tool and work. These characteristics won't allow me to use a screw driver for a chisel or pry bar. I can't force myself to drive a nail with a ball pien hammer or shape metal with a framing hammer. I almost can't use an adjustable wrench "backwards". When I do, I only use it that direction for light duty tasks. Proper and specific tool use means that my tool hoard is mandatorily large, but most of my tools remain in pristine functional condition. My abused tools came to me used, except in very few regretable and shameful occurrences. I think that I am naturally inclined in this hyper direction, but I routinely blame my rearing. I am not much of an axe guy. Real axe guys will really pontificate on this topic and put me to shame!
Hi Paul I'm George..I'm a plumber. I spent a lot of time working in construction as you know and we just yell out what tool will do the job. "Throw me a hammer" I don't care which one I just need a hammer. I do see what you're saying though and there are actually a lot of people who are sticklers about what to call things..trust me I know..LOL. You my friend I feel could hold your own in any conversation with anyone. Take care and talk to you soon.
George, along with the things you clean up and bring back to life, I would enjoy watching what you do to the giant skillet, and what you do after you remove the paint.. Thank you !!
Thank You Jack! The skillet is going to be first in line I think. The wife is really looking forward to it. I don't know I might do a little cooking show and tell..Maybe..Thank you for always supporting me.
Great finds at your flea market mate. My favourite is the pocket knife, (YES! Clean that sucker up) and the mess kit. Are you kidding about the frying pans? Of course we’ll watch you clean them up. That Boy Scout hatchet is cool too. I do like that; oh who am I kidding, I like everything you bought.😂 Take care buddy, give your family a hug from us. Can’t wait to see what you are going to clean up or restore first.
Thanks My Brother from down under! I think it'll be the frying pans. I keep finding them on my work bench which is weird because I keep putting them in my overflow shop... I think Chrissy is trying to tell me something 🤣🤣 Love you guys and tell the family Hi from us. Big hugs and a peck on the cheek for the Missus. Take care and we'll talk soon.
Good day for me too. I also follow you on Instagram today. Today I found my first NOS Perfect Handle screwdriver at the flea market. I have all the photos online. Happy Sunday. Federico
The Zebra cooker is a rice cooker. Rice and veg/meat in the upper chamber. Boiling water in the lower chamber. Rice/whatever is steamed. Hot water for tea or boiled water for safe drinking. I have many similar old JN Army in my collection of stuff my wife will one day inherent. Nice video.
You hit a great flea market. I have a similar size cowboy skillet and have a blast cooking over the campfire. Please do a knife, skillet, and hatchet restore video. My favorite item was the cowboy skillet. 👍🏻
I concur with David, you got so much great stuff I love the pans and the knife Especially the hatchet I would have dropped the hammer on that price too great find. I backpacked for over 20 years an would have loved that cook set. I still have all my stuff I used. Love the perfect handle screwdriver. You had a great day this week. Have a good week brother. Oh and the pans will make a great video.
Thanks Mr. Dale! That is so cool that you used to backpack. There is just something about it that is so satisfying They have all kinds of crazy gear now.It's amazing what they have come up with. . I will get those sooner or later but I think the pans are gonna come first.
The knife deserves being restored and the boyscout axe is the find of the day!! What kind of maniac would paint a a frying pan so yeah I would like to see both pans restored. Great picks George
Thank You Michael! I have no idea why they are painted..I've seen people paint cast pans to make them looked seasoned but these are copper and stainless..the pans will probably be first.
You were deffo in a culinary mood 🤣🤣, love the pans and that knife is awesome, love to see ya clean it up , another screwdriver for restoration , love to see that too. The hatchet is a beauty , nice haul 🍻🇬🇧also I think the “ camping saucepans” is a tiffin box
George love the boy scout hatchet, it brings me back. I had one just like it way way back. Lol. And I'm on board for any and all of your resto videos!. Take care
Great video George!! I think you should restore the knife fork spoon multi tool. In the early 60’s when I was in Boy Scouts I found a knife like that someone from a previous camp group that lost it. My inner voice said I should turn it in so I did. The Scoutmaster said he would find the owner… well I found out he kept it and said how some dumb kid gave it to him… Oh well… such is life. I felt I did the right thing so please restore that knife!!! It’s just like the one I found!!! Thanks! The Old Army Scout…
Awesome finds brother! Love it all! The Zebras are made in Thailand and for $5 bucks you scored! Those run anywhere from $30-$50 depending on where you buy it!
Hey George, I agree with on the hatchet, then it's the pocket knife, be nice to see that getting sorted out👍🏻. The little camping set was good, I have a similar one in my Suzuki micro van, just the right size.
Thank You! It's great to hear from you! I'm glad you are enjoying it..It's amazing how much we all like looking at old second hand treasure. Take care.
I love that Boy Scout Hatchet! I had found a boy scout knife with a holder a couple of years ago. I had to have it cause it reminded me of my WW2 navy uncle's knife I have had since I was a kid.
That's really cool Stephen! It's awesome when we get to find something special like that. I know it's one of the things that keeps me out there at the market. There are a few things That I would love to replace that My Dad and Grandad had.
I for one can’t wait for the restoration of the perfect handle screwdriver. I found one for the first time a couple weeks ago. It’s still in my pile of things to restore. I wasn’t happy with how the existing videos on restoring perfect handle screwdrivers turned out and am excited to see how you do, looking for inspiration.
Congratulations but I'm gonna warn you those perfect handles can be addicting...It's starts with one and then you got 50ish..LOL! I got 3 videos I think..They are a lot of fun to do. The trickiest part is getting the angels for the scales no problem for you I'm sure with your various skills. When you get around to yours let us know how it turns up.
Love that giant steel pan. That is the perfect camp cooking pan and big enough to feed a small army. You always find such great stuff--nice going George!
Thanks. Ya I saw that pan and thought it might be big enough to make breakfast for me and my three boys...LOL! You got any projects going? Been a while.
@@Uwannawatch Most of my time has been eaten up working on getting a friends house ready to sell, and i've got a car that got smashed up that i'm fixing up to get back on the road, but hope to have some new vids up soon.
You were deffo in a culinary mood 🤣🤣, love the pans and that knife is awesome, love to see ya clean it up , another screwdriver for restoration , love to see that too. The hatchet is a beauty , nice haul 🍻🇬🇧
@@tony1721 Oh so we are copy cats again.😂. I didn't know that for real. I learn something new everyday. I hope you hit some car boots so you can me a video. I'm off to work Now. Catch up with ya Later!
Nice pickups! You can't beat that copper pan for $5. That Boy Scouts hatchet is awesome too, the wooden handle held up really well. Can't wait to see you bring that one back!
Thanks Brother I'll be working on them in the near future but I think the pans gotta get done first. Orders straight from the top. Oh Man I saw some Game boy games at the market but I knew I was in trouble when I picked one up and the vendor showed me his phone with an ebay listing...I walked away.
@@Uwannawatch I hear you on that one, the boss always comes first 😂. It’s such a bummer when people try to get eBay prices at the flea markets and sales.
You should absolutely do a video on that old knife Super George. I had one of those when i was kid. You got a lot of cool finds today brother. That axe is awesome! I want you to make a video everyday until everyday is all restored starting with that copper pan😂 nice little haul brother
Thanks Captain Ivan! I would love to do this everyday! I think every guy our age had one of those knives..I wish I knew then what I know now! I'll get to all of them. Big Mac wants the skillets done so....guess which one is first.🤣🤣
Ive also started to collect old cast cookware. For the prepper in me. I am also gonna look this sunmer for some old clothes wash boards. They will make nice wall hangers for the laundry room and lord forbid i ever need to use them, i will have them! Love your videos, they help keep me inspired when i have soent all my "hunting" money for the week 😂
We love cast iron !! Got a fairly decent collection here. Good idea with those wash boards get them now before you can't find them and grab octagon soap it works fantastic for laundry and you can use it too. and lasts a while. I'm glad you enjoy the videos because I honestly have fun doing them and hearing what you all are up to. So I gotta ask what did you find recently. Take care!
george like that frying pan wow that's one pig pan good for stew or steaks mmm steaks. the mess kit is cool great hatchet someone took care of that. i remember those knives man that takes me back it's your channel i'll watch whatever you choose. take care see you nextime brother P.S. looks like we are in for a week of rain
Hey Ronald! Thank you brother I appreciate that. I think I'm gonna restore all of them. ps Lucky you guys..we need some rain dry all week.I'm gonna have to water my grass. Take it easy and we'll catch up later.
The Bridgeport is in great shape! It should clean up nicely. I really like that 12 inch steel pan too. That will be great for breakfasts on a fire pit! Very nice finds.
On the PH screwdriver with the loose handle leafs... I suggest soaking it in a 50/50 mix of water and glycerine for a couple days. After the water dries out, the glycerine stays in and expands the wood back to a fuller size. And no, you don't feel the glycerine on the outside of the handle or anything. Has worked for me on a couple of these screwdrivers.
The funny part is I was already casting my ballet for the Stanley knife.....just cause.....maybe it was a vote for the underdog but then you sprung that BSA hatchet on us! Great job there!
@@Uwannawatch Picked up a USA hatchet today....$2 bucks. There was also a big box of wrenches.....I was wishing I had your list of who collects what. I was tempted to buy the box but just grabbed some that I knew people collected. Bonney, Williams...etc. Found a cool Snap on metal case....empty but I'll try and fill it. tHanks for all the videos, have a great evening!
George that BSA hatchet is awesome! I used to have one when I was a scout, don't know what ever happened to it but wish I had it back. Also the camp knife is very cool - I had a similar one I used to take to take on outings to the lake. One warning though - don't try to use the corkscrew. It will probably just break like mine did and you will have no way to open your wine unless you have a real corkscrew with you. 😁 I would love to see all three restorations!
I came across your video by chance (I’m in the UK). The stainless steel, two tier container with lid, clips and handle (at about the 2 minute mark) is a tiffin container, used for carrying a lunch in India, Pakistan and other Asian countries mainly. You might have, for example, rice and vegetables in the bottom one and a curry in the top. You could have three or four tier containers. In India, enterprising ‘dabbawalas’ deliver prepared lunches to large numbers of people at work or children in school. There’s much more information on the internet, but the mind boggles at the distribution of huge numbers of these meals at lunchtime - India has a very large population. Hope this is useful. (You don’t cook in them, but they can be kept in an oven to keep contents warm.) Forgot to say, ‘tiffin’ means snack or lunch. 👍🇬🇧👍🇺🇸👍
Nice finds George I had a boy scout knife like that growing up it was my uncle Donnie's knife he was born in 34 so I'm assuming it was made in the mid 40s it was in mint condition in the mid 90's when I had it just like you I don't know what happened to it uhg but they bring good money well worth a restore thanks for sharing brother
That's cool! I'm lucky that i don't have to make the scales. I think it'll be a good little hatchet but I 'm not sure how much use it'll get. I already got a favorite kindling splitter.
@@Uwannawatch Made them about 2 years ago for it was not that difficult . Started making complete handles recently after i started throwing axes.. the boy scout hatchet is now too nice for tossing.
The very 1st video I ever watched from scoutcrafter That's exactly what he had restored And he had to make the handles for it Butt He even have the literature from the Bridgeport company So it's super cool that you got 1
Yes clean up the knife. I also don't think that the thing you thought was a divider is a divider. I may be wrong, but I think it's a saw. The saw gets overlooked a lot as a divider. On the bottom of the big blade should tell you who made the knife. I'd like to know who made it because for 2 dollars that's a great find.
I am in the process of restoring a Falls City Kelly Works axe ($7 for the rust axe head with a mushroomed back; been grinding it out with belts and discs to restore its shape). Would love to see how you restore the hatchet.
That's a lot of work! Keep us updated on how it's going . I'll be restoring the hatchet. But I'm not too much of an axe guy. I just pick them up here and there.
That hatchet is awesome George pretty sure thats from the 40s it says Bridgeport on it makes me wonder it it was made by hy bar company out of Bridgeport Connecticut very interesting brother
@Uwannawatch grips handles same difference lol awesome hatchet it will clean up brighter than a new penny when you are done with it that'd if you decide to take it that far
CC!!!!!! Thank you Brother! I truly do appreciate it! Nice job on the part 4 of your garden..I couldn't leave a comment on your video. I don't know why....
