Robert I sure enjoyed this video you need to sit down sometime and write a book so young people in the future will be able to identify the tools and Relics of our past well done God bless you and your family.
mr. Robert I believe that Pair of scissors you have are a harness maker scissors I think I seen a picture of them in an Antiques catalog of western saddle making enjoy the video.
Glad you enjoyed this, Shane! In case you didn't already see it, there is another video of Mr. Cassel on UA-cam (not my video) that you may enjoy as well. ua-cam.com/video/5MuaIdEkI7M/v-deo.html Thank you for your feedback. :)
Loved this!! Thank You! When mentioning the Indian Tools, that design told me instantly it was 'primitive' (very old) =] Not surprised they are alike ~ Joseph Campbell speaks of these Great Stories. 'They knew because they listened.' ~ the Power of the Planet and the Wise. ~ *
The scissors at 18 minutes are tailors shears, the initial lead up to industrial cutters that cut hundreds of layers the squared end ensures that multiple fabric layers were all cut precisely the same, then the pieces passed to sewers at treadle or steam machines to produce identical sized shirts, trousers The pivot ends stop the scissors dropping thru the cut, below the top of the fabric stacks
Coming from the UK I 'm familiar with the soda bottle, as kids we called marbles 'lardies' and so lardie bottles. Intact ones are rare because us kids broke them for the lardie. My brother was a caulker not ships but tunnels, the joints in cast iron tunnel segments were recessed on the inside edge. The recess would be caulked with strip lead, hammered tight with the caulking tool. Joint could be caulked too tight and would leak, so there was a skill to it.
They are tailors scissors, and you had them up side down, you could run the flat edge under the material without them snagging hope this helps, check the Japanese spring scissors channel and you will see they had to use European scissors just like you have in your hand.
Loved your presentation you obviously love your subject. thought you would like to know the pop bottle is still used in Japan today. not commercially but at local festivals you can buy usually in summer.. I have drunk from them many times as I lived in Japan up until last year for more than 26 years.
This was interesting. It covered antique tools of all types and trades, not just workman's tools. I have an old tool that was used to make both round musket bullets, and regular shaped bullets, but I don't know much about it. My family has a very old iron handed down to us that this man's wife might know about. It belonged to the grandparents of my grandparents. My grandparents were born around 1900, so if it belonged to their grandparents, we figure it might date to the 1850's or earlier. I have never seen another old iron just like it. It's very large and heavy with twisted handle. Larger than most others I've seen.
Back in 1990, I bought an old mansion here in the UK. 15 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms 3 kitchens. In the butler's kitchen was a device screwed onto the wall that would press the marble ball into the old bottles like that. The scissors are upholstery scissors probably for carpet or thick material.
Just an FYI for Mr. Cassel. They still use Cobb neck style bottles in Japan for Ramune soda. You can even get it here in the states. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramune
I should have mentioned where I found it. I bought original and strawberry at Kroger. There is a sushi restaurant near me that also has the melon and mango flavors.
Awesome weird stuff, ive reventtly gotten into hand woodworking. Having discovered how $#!+ our hand tools have become i am fast becoming an antique tool nut. Fastenating stuff thanks for sharing
every interesting, seen tools that my family in Michigan used from 1830 on in blacksmithing and logging. but the feed back from the mics and speakers kind of ruined the audio. would have liked to hear more of the explanations of the different tools instead of feedback
Would have loved this but the feedback makes it unwatchable, please clean it up and re upload! Some people may be able to listen anyway but many can't, like me.
Your milk bottle cooler is the same as the wet sock over a waterbottle hung off the mirror of your truck we used for cold water during my last deployment to Iraq. Low tech, but efficient.
What an amazing guy. Love the dry sense of humour. Love the passion.

Awesome video!I wish I could thank Mr. Cassel for this... I hope someone did.Awesome history in the tools.

thank you for all your information. I learnt so much. Please continue making more videos. Thank you once again.. very helpfully

The bibits for you Shears lock into a holder so the Shears will not move while cutting leather or multi-layers of cloth or wool.
A bit late but the strange scissors you showed, that one with the thick leg, they were used by tailors. You have to use it with the heaviest part up.
They are tailors scissors, and you had them up side down, you could run the flat edge under the material without them snagging hope this helps, check the Japanese spring scissors channel and you will see they had to use European scissors just like you have in your hand.
I laughed at the suppository mould. I am a pharmacist and have used them!! I am about to retire and now I realise I should.
Single groove caulking iron, there were doubles, triples, and some had none, many shapes any questions, used them as a kid!
Whatever that high pitched noise is in the background has to be eliminated, if I was there it would have drove me to the point of crazed destruction

What a great, great video!!!
Great video and well worth my time!!
I collect old tools but have none of those. Great information.
Fascinating

Amazing video with great info! However I couldn't watch the whole thing due to the feedback squeal! It's too bad they couldn't fix that!
Bottles with the marble seal are still in use in Japan. One company at least uses it for their classic cider (soda).

Have u ever metal detected the mansion property

I should have mentioned where I found it. I bought original and strawberry at Kroger. There is a sushi restaurant near me that also has the melon and mango flavors.
I have tinnitus and thought I was having an episode. 31 minutes in I found out it is the audio. Good info, feedback in the audio recording.
I would guess those scissors were used to cut canvas. The bull nose would slide along the bench or floor
The glass bottle with the marble are know as' pinch neck bottles' in England.
Sorry, couldn't make it through. I've got tinnitus as well and this just exacerbates it.
So sorry, graymouser. :(
tinnitus from watching videos like this? maybe this video is even a health hazard.
Saw that beam drill in the back, if only i had one of those!
Awesome weird stuff, ive reventtly gotten into hand woodworking. Having discovered how $#!+ our hand tools have become i am fast becoming an antique tool nut. Fastenating stuff thanks for sharing
I believe the traveller you showed was used to measure the tire on a wagon wheel
every interesting, seen tools that my family in Michigan used from 1830 on in blacksmithing and logging. but the feed back from the mics and speakers kind of ruined the audio. would have liked to hear more of the explanations of the different tools instead of feedback
Bit of feedback, but really interesting!
Too bad it was unwatchable due to the bad feedback sound...Screeeeeeeech!!!!!! Didn't the operator or speaker hear that?
Would have loved this but the feedback makes it unwatchable, please clean it up and re upload! Some people may be able to listen anyway but many can't, like me.
that scissor thing looks like a fuse cutter for cannons
That was simply awesome! Wonder if he has a UA-cam channel?
Leather scissors or any heavy cloth. Could be used to cut carpets too.
Your milk bottle cooler is the same as the wet sock over a waterbottle hung off the mirror of your truck we used for cold water during my last deployment to Iraq. Low tech, but efficient.
So maybe that is why soda is called POP in some geographic regions.
JIM
great presentation except for the feedback
Is there a way to send you a few pictures of an unidentified old tool I have ?
Hi, Ivan. Could you load the pictures to Dropbox and share a link to them here?
I've never used Dropbox , but I'll give it a go.
I have a couple of those marble bottles
cool video to bad about all the feed back on the microphone
Feed back!!
Does no one else hear SHRIEKiNG feedback?
wow
good info good viual but horrible horible microfon, wich let my eyes bleed....
Please fix that annoying audio, otherwise, quite informative.
Bad screeching noise
