    Look what I found- No, clear ketchup is not real, but was a viral hoax. The clear ketchup video was created by Benji, a London-based data analyst who used hair gel, an empty bottle, and a printer to create the viral video. The hoax was so successful that Heinz employees were asked if the product was real.

    I have a Vietnam era entrenching tool that one of my brothers in law gave me. It is rusty from him carrying it the trunk of his car. One of these days I will do a restoration- thanks for the tutorial. I would highly recommend using a face shield while using wire brushes on an angle grinder

    Another fine educational post. I was issued a entrenching tool. thru my years in the Army, I only ever used it was in vasic training Ft Dix N.J. Jan 1968. The ketchup bottles was interesting, my last year of high school I worked part time as a short order cook in a restaurant, and I remember seeing the waitresses pouring ketchup from one bottle to a fuller bottle. Also Catsup has evolved into a ketchup, Catsup originally was Muahroom sauce in late 1700s and 1800s.from cold Taxachusetts.

    I remember ketchup bottles being put on top of each other. That’s a while back. I like the idea of shrinking a plastic bottle on the cans. The problem I see is plastic gets brittle and here comes a crack. Your shovel turned out nice. That’s a nice tribute. Great show, thank you

      My Dennys story has nothing to do with ketchup. After a night of bar hopping back in the 80's. We stopped at Dennys. I ordered a grand slam, it was missing the sausage. I informed the waitress and she accused me of eating them, I showed her the untouched food and it was clear that no sausage had been on the plate. She then proceeded to search the floor thinking they rolled off. Turns out the cook did indeed forget them and had them waiting. 😅😂

    Great job on the shovel. I have one like that also. I like the idea of the p;astic bottle over the pain/stain can. But it would be difficult to stir it if it sat far a while. All muddy sediment settling on the bottom would be hard to mix I imagine.

    ScoutCrafter,
    I remember the catsup bottles, salt & pepper shakers, and A1 Steak Sauce. I can't remember any photos.
    The first week of my 5 years in Alaska the lows were hitting -15° F in Anchorage. To stay cozy I recommend; a pair of Sorell style boots with removable felt liners, wool socks, nylon underwear, good mittens from a climbing outfitters, a good stocking cap, a Mustang Classic Survival Jacket, and a pair of Chevron thermal insulated overalls. My overalls came in a trade for a pair of ARCO Cross pen and pencils, plus two ball caps. You'll not feel the cold again.

    ScoutCrafter, IIRC the top snap on your E-Tool case had a black finish. We used to use combat boot black eyelet finish. This stuff came in a small bottle and used to touch up the eyelets on your boots. Worked great for the snaps on your canteen covers E-Tool covers etc. The correct color is the finish on the back hooks that you use to put the E-Tool on your WEB gear

    The other thing they used to do here with the ketchup was to thin it down with vinegar, maybe to help transfer it, but if you weren't careful instead of having to whack it you got a plate full of sauce !

    Shrink or stretch fit is something I do quite often with PVC pipe to accommodate the small differences in connections on my woodshop vac system. Every manufacturer seems to make connections different enough to not mate with any other brand. So small sections of PVC pipe and a heat gun shrinks or swells to make things fit. (Swell works much better/easier than the work and sometimes clamps to shrink the pipe to fit.
    And yes, I have seen ketchup bottles stacked late at night before diners closed. Thanks.

    Hey John, I've been using bottles on my paint cans for years and it works well. What I do is start the bottle onto the can and use your heat gun to warm up the bottle up somewhat and then you can fit the bottle over the can, and the use the gun as you did to shrink it afterwards. If you get a little leaking afterwards you can put a hose clamp over it. I haven't had to but..... - later

  • @oldguyknots

    I wonder about that plastic versus the original in the long run. The plastic wouldn't be airtight and would cause the paint (or stain) to dry out over time. If it's going to be used up quick it may be worth it but not so much in the long run.
    Very nice job on the entrenching tool. The "forced" sheen looks great. And good choice on the knife.

    The predecessor of that entrenching tool, the M43, was a direct copy of the entrenching tool the Wehrmacht introduced in 1939. The US Army was not happy with the old M1910 entrenching tool, so they looked for a replacement. They got their hands on a German one, and it was considered being a good design.

    Just a thought, that first entrenching tool holder, is it possible that the material being that old has shrunk, I was wondering if a person was to soak that in warm soapy water or warmed mineral oil, just some type of lubricant to moisturize the canvas then while still damp try to stretch it over the tool and hold tension, like I say, just a thought, don’t know if it would work. Nice job on the tool restoration, looks fantastic, enjoyed watching, BTW, my mother used to do what us kids use to call the catsup bottle poor man’s flip, draining one bottle into another, nothing wasted in our economy, she waitresses for awhile so, that’s where it probably got started.

    Interesting fact... The Pittsburgh Steelers stadium used to be called "Heinz field". The end zone was called the red zone and there were giant heinz ketchup bottles that moved like they were pouring when the Steelers scored. It was cool and payed homage to the fact that Heinz used to be a big employer in Pittsburgh. When they lost the naming rights to the stadium, Heinz sponsored a small town high school football field renovation in Alliquippa (where my mother grew up) downstream from Pittsburgh on the Ohio river. So now "Heinz field" is a highschool football stadium! Cool huh?

    John do you think it is possible due the placement of the rivets in the one shovel case it is keeping it from going down as it should?

    Great job John, is the fast work acid to etch the steel on a micro level so the paint sticks better? I guess I'm not understanding why you needed to do that before painting. Thanks!

    • @ScoutCrafter
      @ScoutCrafter  19 днів тому +1

      The etch and prep chemically treats the metal against rust so even if the paint chips off the metal will be somewhat protected. It works well! 😃👍

    Hi John, I spent about an hour searching for the UA-cam I told you about, but can’t find it not. But you were included with Adam ABomb, Kieth Rucher, jimmy Diresta, Mr. Pete, can’t remember who else. I’ll keep looking but the Podcaster was very complementary of your podcasts.

    I was told almost all diners and restraunts use Heinz because its what people know and expect. My girlfriend and I went to a place to eat not that long ago and they had some weird off brand and it tasted like soap and ketchup mixed and was really bad. I would not eat it. I asked and they did not have Heinz so the food sucked. Great re-hab and the USN knife is so cool.

    Canvas made with natural fibers can shrink over time especially if it gets wet without the tool inside to hold the shape. I suspect that is why the old one won't work anymore.

      I asked ChatGPT to research, and this is what it said:
      Heinz has never produced a clear ketchup product. In the early 2000s, they introduced “EZ Squirt” colored ketchups in shades like green, purple, and blue, but these were discontinued by 2006. 
      In late 2023, a viral video depicted a bottle labeled “Heinz Clear Tomato Ketchup.” This sparked curiosity and debate online. However, it was later revealed to be a hoax created by a London-based data analyst known as Benji, who filled a Heinz bottle with hair gel to fabricate the clear ketchup illusion. 
      Heinz has not announced any plans to develop or release a clear ketchup product.

    I have a world war 2 entrenching spade marked 1944 and also Ames. Ames must have been a military contractor for a long time. It is the same company that manufactures garden tools, spades, rakes etc. You did a good job with the twisted wire wheel, but they require care because they are really aggressive. I have never used them on tools. Tools require a lighter touch in my opinion. Knotted/twisted wire wheels are great on large areas like car frames. They will make short work of decades of rust and scale because they are coarse and aggressive. But be careful when working on old tools.

    A little restaurant in Bethlehem, PA stacked ketchup bottles like that! I went in for breakfast. They were separating the bottles and recapping them. Me, living in PA at the time , but having grown up in Brooklyn, I was gonna put ketchup on my scrambled eggs. I picked up the ketchup. I saw tiny bubbles in the ketchup 😮 I shoulda followed my instincts but I used it anyway. It was the first and last time that I got food poisoning! A really bad case! I was puking for a week! Oy!

      Being from Brooklyn you know usually the best Diners here were all run by Greeks. I have found the reason Greeks are so good at running diners is because they didn’t try to save a few cents by messing with their food. Made their money by having more volume of customers instead of sketchy practices. 😃👍

    Hey John, when you put something on your furnace, does it improve the quality of the paint adhesion or cure or does it just decrease the drying time?

    • @ScoutCrafter
      @ScoutCrafter  19 днів тому +1

      Brian- I believe both- Definitely faster but I believe the warming of the item slowly helps the paint cure as it has a very dry warm environment. Sometimes I cover the item with a box or foil to really increase drying speed. Flat paints dry fast to begin with. 😃👍

    A 2 liter bottle will be too big for a small can, but not all soda bottles are the same. A more generic single serve bottle for a brand like Faygo, Dad's, A&W, or any other brand that would use a stock bottle rather than a custom design like for coke or pepsi, is more likely to fit a small paint can.

    In line with your "keep it simple" principle, wouldn't it be easier to just decant the paint into an empty soda bottle? Or even better, an empty squeezy ketchup bottle. You can then take a photo of it for Dan.
