Great grandpa was a finish carpenter on the Spruce Goose (the only fully wooden airplane, made by Howard Hughes.) Alas, his tools were sold at an estate sale for ten cents on the dollar. I didn't know I should have asked for them. :(

@WoodByWrightHowTo 10 месяцев назад

Oh those would have been great to have. A really cool history. I've been out there a couple times to see that plane.

@philaandrew100 10 месяцев назад

Very handy bits of kit. I first saw one some 30 years ago, lying unloved in a dust covered box of things in an Antique shop. Bloke said I could have it for 2 bucks. Still use it to this day, the tiny saw attachment has been invaluable and the 2mm wide chisel has cut more inlay grooves in Guitar builds than I care to think of.

@2dividedby3equals666 10 месяцев назад

Hey James, I really like this type of video. I'm not sure how well it does for you in terms of views, but like Rex's Furniture Forensics, it delves into really interesting parts of woodworking/tools that most channels don't talk much about. I would gladly watch more in the future, Thanks for sharing and take care!!

@peterdewitt8585 10 месяцев назад

I completely agree with this. Great video and I hope to see many more like this one!

@TomBuskey 10 месяцев назад

A lot of those tools were made in the Connecticut river valley from Windsor, VT, Greenfield and Miller's Falls, MA and south to New Briton, CT. Those factories are gone, but there are still lots of active machine shops in the areas.

@jerbear7952 10 дней назад

This felt more like an episode of Connections. I especially loved the enthusiasm when talking about Europe during world war 1. I dare you to lean into this type of thing.

@leroybarker8510 10 месяцев назад

My dad worked in the shipyards during the war. I have 2 of his tool boxes he used. He had a couple of crosscut saws a couple of rip saws a BIG miter saw, Stanly 4,5, and seven planes, a stanley 45 combo plane etc, etc. I still use those today although I bout a number of these tools for my own use and now mostly kepp his tools in the tool boxes he made to pass on to my son - whether he wants them or not.

@Festus171 10 месяцев назад

Great bit of history there. Thanks for sharing. I love it when the best tool available is an old hand tool, be it saw, drill, drawshave or plane. You said something once on one of your videos about it giving you more time with the wood. That statement is something I often share with others who are too impatient to understand the joy of making something using primitive methods.

@johnbuck477 7 месяцев назад

I find that the old tools are simply beautiful works of art. Restoring and tuning up the old tools is an art and a skill in itself. I find as much enjoyment in restoring them as I do using them. Thanks for your channel James! Always interesting and fresh ideas.

@sheilbwright7649 10 месяцев назад

Australia had a soldier settlement scheme after WW1. Ex-soldiers were given subsidised land for farming in remote locations. If you couldn't do it it probably wasn't going to get done. There are some amazing tool collections gathering dust.

@anthonyseiver7000 10 месяцев назад

...and the space race led to Stanley's crowning achievement, the Aluminium bodied bench planes.

@florpdorp7190 9 месяцев назад

My grandpa just recently gave me one of those and it's a tool I use every now and then and every time I use it it puts a smile on my face

@frmz 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! As a European hobbyist handtool woodworker, this really connected some dots for me.

@dereksmith2910 10 месяцев назад

James, thanks for the video. I have three Stanley "push" screwdrivers and if memory serves at least one of them has storage in the handle for screwdriver and drill tips. Craftsman also has a push screwdriver. The storage handle is clear plastic and houses drill bits and driver bits. I inherited it from my dad and he purchased it around the 60's or 70's.

@OpossumPiper 10 месяцев назад

Awesome educational segment. The history of the tools is as much fun as using them!

I cant wait to come visit you with my new multi tool handle that will again change the world!

@alexmackay9685 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, I love old tools, and some new tools. And now I have a Stanley 46 plane just to find that no one makes blades for them. Really wish more of the tool companies recreating tools would also make the bits and pieces needed to use the old stuff as well.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 10 месяцев назад

Veritas use to make those. But not enough people bought them . It is sad. I too have a 46 without cutters

@deliaguzman1138 10 месяцев назад

I have a sweet little tool like this; I leave the awl bit in it for general use. Now I have a newfound appreciation for the wonder of this little multi-tool!

@microwave221 10 месяцев назад

That winged handle set off a firework in the back of my head as soon as l saw the thumbnail. Decades ago, in my grandparents basement, I first encountered one of those fitted with a mangled gouge that was almost as sharp as a toenail. My grandpa gave me a chunk of scrapwood to chew at with it, and that was the first time l ever tried carving something. I inherited that tool, and brought every bit within it to a razor edge, just on principle or maybe as a marker of the passage of time

@OORAH659 10 месяцев назад

The way of the time line. I learned a lot today from you, thank you ..... OORAH!!

@stlong001 10 месяцев назад

Great presentation! I’d never really thought about the unique conditions of history that one country to make tools differently from another, and how the wave of the Industrial Revolution hit different in different places.

@mikesalmo 6 месяцев назад

That’s a great summary of how industrialization wasn’t uniform. A little nuance sprinkled in with some great examples. I’m in the south and am jealous of midwesterners, etc. Our hand tools are mostly from that gap between WWII and folks having electricity and I rarely find planes, etc. Auto working tools are everywhere, though. There are a ton of 70s handsaws that I’ve replaced handles on, and better: a ton of lightly used saw files. You can never have too many of those… or clamps.

@danielbowers4008 10 месяцев назад

Great video as always Jim! If you don't mind a suggestion. How about a small project like a small box for random screws or other nik-naks? Only using one of these multi tools of course. Thanks again for the history lesson.

@upsidedowndog1256 10 месяцев назад

To find a complete multi tool is quite rare. They could do many jobs but none extremely well. The pieces are easy to lose or break and hard to replace.

@egbluesuede1220 10 месяцев назад

thanks for the history lesson. I've never pulled the trigger on one, but probably will the next time I see one.

@brendanlangord1687 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the history lesson. I love those multi tools. I have 4 or 5 of them, and can usually find them pretty cheap around me occasionally (I'm in central Massachusetts). As always, thank you for sharing.

@bluesideup007 10 месяцев назад

Thanks James. I love the way history and old tools intersect. You are a good story teller.

@marcusjans-uy6cv 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, as always a good combination of facts and humor. I am from Sweden. This summer I bought and old wood working bench for my son, turned out it also included a box full of old chisels and wooden planes, probably from around the late 19th century. I would love to restore them but don’t know how to start.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 10 месяцев назад

@JoJoJenkns 10 месяцев назад

I’m so glad you made this video! As I went to a State Field a while ago and bought one of these not knowing what it was. And then I realize I kind of forgot about it as I got it for like five bucks. Thank you for sparking my memory on it and help me figure out what to do with the thing properly.

Love it, I have one similar to those somewhere in the workshop... once I finish the horse trailer I'll be organizing inside the shop because I have to make room for my new forge and CNC machine.... can't have fun until my work is done though, horse trailer comes first.

@nodarikirtadze8220 10 месяцев назад

I'm from Georgia, a former Soviet state and I too have a tool like that, except it's made out of plastic and only includes several screwdriver heads. Good handtools for woodworking are quite rare here as well

@fredpierce6097 10 месяцев назад

I have received only 2 modern combo tools in my lifetime and there are 2 commonalities with respect to the giving parties: 1.) The giver didn’t want to spend a lot of money on my gift and 2.) the givers didn’t know Jack about tools or their usage. It’s now nice to finally see your vintage combo handle tools which actually were used rather than immediately donated to a thrift store! 🤣😆😂

@alholston-smith7631 10 месяцев назад

Interesting, I picked the same combo tool you showed, and recognized what it was, similar condition to yours. I thought it was the forerunner to modern combo,screwdriver, but found the chisels and other bits inside. Nice to have in a field kit, but not my first tool to pick,when I need a chisel or drill. Cheers

@philipsmith2119 10 месяцев назад

Hi as a backwards nation citizen I’m smiling at your video. We had the first mass production lines and a skilled workforce. Running alongside each other and it is still true today. One tool workers are not skilled they are operators. Matthew Boulton in Soho in Birmingham in the 1700’s built factories mass producing items, this factory had one tool operators and a skilled workforce to support its operations long live Henry Ford Philip

@Andyjpro 10 месяцев назад

This was great! We definitely take for granted the idea of interchangeable parts. Especially screws and standardized threads. After all a huge reason Stanley planes use that goofy thread pitch is because standards weren't established yet!
