Great show John. It was just a simple crate tool until you turned it into a work of art. Beautiful restoration

Going back through your archives John and saw this. I have one that the head is an inch thick and approximately 8-10’ long I use it to remove tow balls off the hitches. It belonged to my grandfather.

Your Upstate property and your hydrangeas are looking great. Those crate tools look brand new, amazing transformation! I remember the old scout handbooks, full of good info! Thanks for sharing.

Upstate looks great. Love the engraving machine.

I remember when you used to do a before and after weight on the refurbs. I liked that - any chance on bringing back that feature John? Those wild flowers are fantastic!

We've had a beautiful spring in SW Washington. Loving it.

Owner's manuals today are written by lawyers not engineers. Now they tell you not to drink the battery acid and call the dealer to schedule a fuse replacement.

Love the crate tools and the resurrection now if only we had crates to open. My brother had a used Peugeot 404 in high school, it had a crank, at first we kind of chuckled at the idea of it. Not sure how many times it was used but it wound up being very handy, especially in the winter, and the car was quite reliable. Without Scouting my profession may have been very different, and after 45 years in Forestry in one form or another I’ll attribute that desire to the exposure and skills I learned in scouting.

Great job on the crate tools, I have 2 questions for you #1 When you are upstate and mowing do you see any bees around the flowers ? #2 What do you think of the Boy Scouts going woke ?

Hi John, great Bridgeport tool refurb. Also loved seeing the Ford book. Also great scouting book. I was in scouts for a short time, but never continued after Cub Scout. I had a ham friend that was very involved in the Scouts. I helped him at a Jamboree. I put together an introduction to Morse Code. I did some display boards about Samual Morse, and the history behind is formulation of the code. It was based on the printing industry. He was at a printer friend and noticed there were a ton of “e”’s in the type. He learned it was the most common letter so he made that the simplest letter. And used the frequency of use in words to help decide complexity of the letter code. I then had the scouts translate their names into Morse code and send it via a code oscillator. They got a certificate when they completed the task that could use for one of the merit badges. I had a lot of fun supporting the scouts jamboree. Another great Scout-crafter video production. Best Regards, John

I am amazed how quickly those wild flowers bloomed upstate.

I must say you have a compact shop, but i do believe you have used every inch of space.

Wonderful items

My father was a boy scout back in the 1940's, I read his scout manual many times over. Unfortunately for some reason I wasn't allowed to become a scout 😢

New car owner’s manuals are twice as thick as the old ones and tell you half as much useful information.

I tell ya, my dad had a model A from 1932 and he let me drive it once. No powered anything lol. I had to put all my weight and my soul into the brake pedal to stop it. Fun memories. Thank you Terry and Scout.

Great video Scout and those Hydrangea look fantastic. Sub zero here this morning, -4 I think, so I can’t wait for spring to come around again. We have a bright red Hydrangea that really grabs your attention when it blooms. Cheers, Stuart and Lea, Canberra, Australia 🇦🇺

Hi ScoutCrafter, Do you know how to remove the thumb wheel pin from a J.H. Williams AP-18 adjustable wrench? Thanks, Joe Quinn

The Ford Model A Instruction Book is missing the Spanish language section. Nice video. Thank you. Fun fact: I buy flap discs in my local Japanese dollar store. A new disc is selling for 63 cents U.S. today.

Great looking crate tool. Can i ask what belt you used in your video on he 1x32 belt sander? Do they sell scotch pad belts for 1x32 or 1x 42 sanders? I have a few crate tools but i want to keep the advertising name on them so dont want to sand the lettering off. Thanks.

Great video 👍 Your upstate property is looking great. Those 🐝 bees have to be loving those wildflowers 🌾🌼. Great information and demonstration on the sanding discs and how to clean the fiber wheel. Awesome idea 👍using paper to take up the loose play in your fiber wheel arbor and also cleaning up your wheel with a old saw 🪚👍👍. That Bridgeport crate tool you done turned out Fantastic! You knock that one out of the park! 🏟⚾️⚾️⚾️👍 The Scout Crafter lettering also turned out fantastic!, Maybe you can highlight the lettering in Scout Crafter Red 🔴 🎨 😂👍. You got some great stuff from your friend 👍. That was a great idea 💡 for Ford to make two tools in one for that Model A👍. It was also interesting how detailed the owners manual was , very cool to see. That vintage Boy Scout Handbook 📔was also cool to see, a lot of people could learn plenty from that book 📖, very detailed and the illustrations are awesome. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍🇺🇸

I’m a “worn 65” and I certainly wish I still had my Scout Handbook! Still know all the letters of the sign language alphabet.

It is a real shame that we have allowed the Left to ruin scouting forever. RIP Boy Scouts.

The cate tool is outstanding. Flawless. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the flap disc information.

Another project that went from crap to flaming ice cream. Beautiful restoration. If you are going to buy a model A, I believe you want the c engine. If I remember it is a balanced engine. Make sure you allow enough time to stop. The brakes are old school. I’ll bet you already have the Ford tools for one! I think I have a repair manual for model A. Let me know if you want it. Thank You

Such a cool old hand book a life saver for sure amazing stuff god bless take care god bless 47🇺🇸🦅🇬🇧🤩👌🏻FJB💩

ScoutCrafter, You once again brought up old memories. My high school drafting teacher and his brother owned a Model A Ford. Unfortunately, the car had no powertrain, so he and his brother located an alternative. They were able to retrofit the Model A with a Chevy 327 engine, Corvette transmission, differential, and rear axle. It was more Funny Car than Model A. I had a sailboat with an Atomic Four engine. I had a hand crank for starting the engine if it had a dead battery. The hand crank had a sawtooth pattern for engagement with the crankshaft. I was told if the engine started to run to let go of the crank. If the engine started to run the kick could break your arm. The last ships I worked with had a one-cylinder hand-cranked diesel air compressor for starting a dead ship. Bob

Great find on the fuel can! I priced new ones ,,,,you buy one you cannot afford the fuel,,😂

Still have my old scout handbook from 76 I find it still relevant that's some old cool model A stuff and the crate tool looks great

Hi scout just found out that my great grandfather and his parents were living around queens and Brooklyn back in the day, off 201st street Small world

The way you mowed your property looks great.

I used to have a bunch old Boy Scout handbooks dating back to the very early 1900's. I just scanned my rather extensive library, and much to my disappointment it appears that I no longer have them. I had to downsize the library about 20 years ago, and I must have given them up. Bummer.

It’s wild how the scout handbooks have changed, I was scout leader when my boys were in scouts back around 2010 and the handbooks looked nothing like that. Mine back in the 80’s looked more like the older one you have.

94 degrees here in southwest Michigan today. Enjoyed the video. See you Wednesday 👍😁 Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

Great job on the crate tool…here’s one for ya…as a avid auction goer I bid on a box for something but inside the box in a zip lock bag was a ( I believe ) first edition Boy Scout hand book…in pretty good condition…interesting read…🖖

Excellent teaching video today.

Wouldn’t you just adjust the seat with a pre programmed electric setting? 😜🤪😉😄. Beautiful Hydrangeas!

I like the scout manual. Looks interesting and useful. I hope you get a Model A!

Man! That goes quick! I remember a Daffy Duck cartoon where Daffy was an annoying door to door salesman! He tries to sell the man of the house anything with Absolutely no success! At the end of the cartoon, Daffy somehow blows up the guy's house! The doorknob, still in Daffy's hand leads to a line! Hey Bub! You need a house to go with this door knob! 😂 Now, you need a Model A to go with that seat screw! Have Fun, John!

Great video John. I have the same drill press stand. It came with a Number 644 Black and Decker drill. Their HQ is about 20 minutes from me.How did you get the spring back into that main bracket. There is a lot of tension on that thing. Thanks John.

100 years ago the owners manual gave you instructions on how to replace a head gasket and adjust your valves on the side of the highway using the tools that came with the vehicle. Fast forward to 2024 we have a sticker that says please don’t drink the stuff inside the battery 😂😂😂

On the Internet Archive I have 50+ Boy Scout Handbooks uploaded under the title "Boy Scouts ~ 50+ Handbooks, Manuals, Guides" for anyone that's interested.

On the crate tool, have you ever considered hand engraving a pattern into the tool handle, let’s say something like “ SCOUTCRAFTER” yeah, yeah, I wrote this you finished the video,🙄😏😜!!!!!!!!, and embellish it with the trademark Scoutcrafter red, jeweling looks nice also. Love that hydrangea, beautiful flowers on it. The upstate property is looking nice also. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

The dog looking sideways was very funny

That Bridgeport would be a great candidate for a .357 Magdad Charity Auction to benefit the food pantry in Jersey!!! Yes…hinting strongly!!

Excellent work on the create tool. 👍

That owner’s manual reminds me of that post making the rounds on Facebook: “~95 years ago, your car’s owner’s manual showed you how to adjust the valves. Now the owner’s manual tells you not to drink the contents of the battery.” 😂

My uncle still has it as well as my great grandfather’s last car a 41 Ford 2 door sedan.

Do you have an email address?

Terry sent to you a few excellent historical items there. I still refer my scout Field Manual to stay aware of the great information. Scouting was the best. Shame on those who wanted it destroyed. Your field looks excellent upstate. I'd bet it would be beautiful to sit there in the evening and watch the lightning bugs and wildlife come alive. Stay well Scout. 🙂👍
