I don’t collect spark plugs, but I do collect Scoutcrafter sayings Don’t be stingy with the 50/50 What kind of maniac only has one hammer? What kind of maniac doesn’t like bearings? What kind maniac only has one extension cord? What kind maniac only has one screw driver? Referring to a titanium tool he polished: you can’t polish these out unless you are a maniac! What kind of maniac, who doesn’t own a dog, has a dog whistle? 50/50 is a great cleaner, I use it for everything- I brush my teeth with it, it’s just a fantastic product Anything that has Danger on the label is worth buying! (Referring to an electric kiln that has a disk that basically went to 11 and had danger listed!) What kind of maniac doesn’t own or love a heat gun? What kind of maniac doesn’t love a spark plug? They are just so cool of an invention.
Ernest Borgnine sure had a powerful on screen presence, I think The Poseidon Adventure was one of his best roles..............Lived to be 95, I remember towards the end of his life was doing a lot of traveling in his motorhome...........I gave away the car I bought new in 2000, never changed the plugs and it had over a 100,000 on it and still ran perfect.
I was at my wife’s uncles home years back. Around the fire place was a major collection of railroad lanterns. Her whole family worked for southern pacific. I have a box of new old stock car parts that belongs to a friend. I know there is some spark plugs in it. We never know what you’re doing on your channel but it’s always entertaining while learning. Thank You
You should do some of those affiliate link type things. You could have made some money already on the screwdriver, tool box, meter, etc. I always loved spark plugs and other auto parts. The old auto parts stores always had cool displays like giant spark plug signs, the stool made out of the strut, the Lucas display to play with. The one in my town growing up had the old wooden floors and stuff that had been there since the 1950s. My dad didn’t do much of his own work, but I always loved heading to the parts store with him. The fire alarm boxes in my town had a blue lamp about halfway up the pole to let you know where the boxes were. Great show today!
Another great show John, It has been in the 100's here in north Texas for several weeks now. The blue lights reminded me of how they were used at Kmart to sell clearance items.
It says a lot for you and your format that the bigs are coming after you as an advertising venue. I liked your spark plug cleanup. I didn't realize either that some plugs come apart. I had an uncle when I was a kid who loved fishing off the rocks at the beach and he always carried a can of old sparkplugs with him which he used as sinkers. Waste not, want not! Great show. Have a great (and hopefully cooler) weekend!
That was really interesting about the spark plugs, I didnt know that. I will have to check some old spark plugs I have that came with my model A. Boy have things changed, now we throw so much away as opposed to servicing.
I really enjoy the format of your channel. I bcc would hate it to change to a small or large sales pitch. You always find a way to remind me of the good old days or what hits a cord with DIY’r’s. Thanks great video today.
You are not selling out and should be rewarded. We will continue to learn and having fun from you so please go ahead. Learning so much from you as I am a desk jockey. I have reconditioned tools, picked up great vises at estate sales, restored and cleaned US, Japan and German tools and having a ton of fun as a hobby all from your channel. Now I have to go back to my TPS reports on Monday but before I saw an estate sale tomorrow am and had a picture of a Chas Parker vise. The hunt is on. Appreciate your channel!
It’s always difficult when tag sales advertise tools, there are always a bunch of guys looking for the same one thing. The best scores as you know is when they advertise sewing materials and you find out when you get there that the basement is full of unlisted tools! 😂👍
I applaud your attitude to sponsors, I wouldn't begrudge you taking a freebie based on your subscriber base, but as you said what would it add ? Perhaps you should have an Amazon link though for all the products you have tested and recommend, even a few cents would add up and help to support your channel ! I have a lot of time for Champion Spark Plugs, I contacted the UK arm some time ago, explaining my Dad's lifetime interest in motorsport and the family connection and they sent out a box of merchandise - Caps, Mugs, T-Shirts, Stickers etc - great customer relations and made my poor old Dads day ! I love the advertising - Dependable Champion - sums it up for me !
Freebies are just smart advertising- So many companies today have no business sense if you ask me. Look at what worked 50 years ago and do it again! 😃👍
Cool video. Good tip on screwdrivers. Successfully repairing a screwdriver blade tip is the riskiest part of screwdriver restoration. Anyone who has subscribed to your channel for any length of time knows you give honest appraisals of tools and other nice treasures -- whatever it is you find. So I think your reviews of new products sent to you by manufacturers would have high credibility.
Good salesmen take advantage of opportunities. During the great depression, my old man was working on a roof next to RT 1(the Boston Post Road). It was sunny and hot. A guy drove up to the building and yelled up to my Dad asking if he'd like a cold Coke. Dad replied that he would but he didn't have a nickle. The man said its free if you drink it on top of the roof and the label faces the road. Dad climbed down, got it, climbed back up, and drank it with the label facing the road. He said that it was the best coke he ever had because of the heat. A good lesson for us, his sons. I remember somebody making spark plus where the center electrode was replaceable. This was in the early 1970s. The mechanics didn't like them because the standard hours were based on complete new plugs which was faster. Good Luck, Rick
Beautiful work on those plugs!! Funny story you’ll appreciate. As a kid I was cleaning the spark plug on my go cart on the wire wheel and my grandfather came up behind me and said “congratulations you’ve just ruined that plug” (I of course, had no idea what he was talking about). He then explained to me that dirty wire wheels can leave an almost metalic film on the ceramic part of the electrode, which is why it looked shiny and grey and could cause the plug to arc out to the body instead of the air gap. I never forgot that lesson and I always keep the ceramic part away from the wire wheel now!
Love that Cobalt glass!! Your technique to reshape screwdriver tips is hands down the best.. I know it's the only way I do one since learning that from you when I first started this YT thang..😊 have a great weekend Mr. John!!
What an enjoyable video. You did a really nice job on the the screwdrivers. I probably would have had to end up making a couple of 'pokey things.' 🤣 I like how you always add those little clips of movies. Emperor Of The North Pole is a great movie. Always liked Lee Marvin. Remember that song he sang in the movie Paint Your Wagon - Wand'rin' Star? What a great song. Ernest Borgnine did a nice performance of a really mean guy too. Btw, i usually crack up when you use that little pointer hand. I always think of (Scary Movie 2), the scene with Dwight hanging out of that window and Hanson the caretaker saying, "... take my little hand, my other hand isn't strong enough ... " Isn't that a hoot!
The sparkplugs remind me that the young vandals hoodlums crack old sparkplugs and use the ceramic rocks to silently shatter car and building windows. They call them Ninja Rocks. Not sure if you seen videos about it but pretty crazy how much it actually works. I also thought you were setting us up for a joke and pull 2 brand plugs out of the vat lol. It would be amazing of someone would send you those insense rust removal lasers. They look like loads of fun
I have 2 of the red runway lights with the aluminum base. These are leftovers from when my dad used to install landing systems and microwave radar bases.
No doubt that advancements in ignition sytems, valve timing, and lubricants are reponsible for long sparkplug life. NGK’s were my favorites in the cars I had and if they did foul just a minute or so of high revs cleaned them up. Now though none of that is necessary. The gasket shellac would pull up in strings, like it had a mind of it’s own, and would soon be all over the fingers and everything but the gasket. Had to be due to static charges as I look back in remembrance. Never a dull moment here; Many Thanks!
First movie I see Ernest Borgnine was escape from NY.. it awesome to hear that companies want to sponsor you. That Vevo Mag Drill was cool. I just repaired one of them at work a Fein JHM USA 101. Those pack a hell of a punch. I'd pick the mag drill don't think it's $300 I think those are more LOL great video John.
Great video, ScoutCrafter! I enjoyed the show & tell on the runway lights/railway lanterns. 👍🏻 Ashamed to say I don’t recognize what film those Ernest Borgnine stills were from. 😅 Interesting to see how the old style spark plugs were made to be serviceable instead of merely replaced. The gasket shellac is definitely before my time! 😂
Nice show today John. You have a lot of different spark plugs. I suppose they will be a thing of the past soon. A friend and I were shopping in Home Depot a few months a go for a chainsaw and all they carry are electric. Mowers will be next 😬 Anyway have a good weekend and Thank You for sharing
Hi John. My first 8N had spark plugs with the big base like that. I found them at the autoparts store in Union City after a time spent looking . No internet then. It was just call and ask. Kind of nicer way to do the search. If the place didn't have them they would suggest someone else to call. Different world altogether. Congrats on the 30K subs. 😁😎
What’s up John - I always wanted to see a spark plug taken apart 👈🏼 - Great video brother.. Thanks have a Good Weekend My Friend ~ Looking forward on meeting up soon 👍🏼
Great video 👍 Those Pittsburgh screwdrivers came out fantastic. Also what a great find at the Poor Man’s flea market finding that DeWalt toolbox 🧰. I like seeing those old vintage spark plugs ⚡️. Those Champion spark plugs you cleaned up turned out great 👍. They really put a lot of time and effort with quality of their product back then,with the knurling & the stamping and such. I like the way the old spark plugs came apart so You can repair 🔧 them if need be. Those plugs remind me of the furnace electrodes in a boiler or oil furnace where you can replace the electrodes or porcelain insulator if need be. I have somewhere a old vintage brown bottle of that Indianhead gasket shellac compound my dad had in his tool box. I believe also I have some of those old spark plugs too in a box my dad saved now I will have to find them and give them a clean up now 😂👍. Another great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze with that beautiful blue sky. Again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a great weekend. 😃👍👍
ScoutCrafter, If I remember correctly when I was a kid, back when "Service Stations" not only sold gas, they had one or two bays for car repairs, there were machines for cleaning spark plugs. I think these machines used abrasive grit to "sandblast" the tips of the plugs to remove deposits, extending the life of the plugs. Bob
Yes- Bob- I have a small Plug sandblaster I bought back in about 1978, You hooked an air line to it and it sand blasted the plug. However I always felt the micro pits of the abrasive was worse! I still prefer a gentle wire wheel cleaning along with a spray of carb cleaner. 😃👍
I Always Liked Ernest Borgnine . One Of My Favorite Actors . A Lot Of Great Movies ! Nice Job 👍 on the Pittsburgh Screwdrivers . I Just Did A Upson Screw Grabbing Screwdriver . I Straightened the Tip . Removed A Scratched in Name And Polished it Up.
Ernest was a fantastic actor and could play so many roles. He was very cool in real life as there are videos of him with his beloved motor home on UA-cam. 😃👍
I love those blue airport lights and am hoping to get one some day. My grandfather worked for the Santa Fe railroad and he had some old lanterns but I didn't get any of them.
I have less than a K subs. I was really surprised when a company ask me to do a video for a 4in, Mini Chain Saw. Problem was I had just bought a 6 IN. and did a video on it. I did it anyway and gave it to my daughter. They also ask me to do a video on two more tools so I did just to get the tools. Yeah it's a great idea, and good for the company to get their product seen in action. Nice video, I recently picked up a couple AC spark plugs.
Please do it. You are worth it and give great indepth reviews. I would especially love you to take the high-tech laser cutters, 3d printers, and see you experiment with them. There is a need for that.
Love the knowledge you share, today you were talking about product review and you were pretty stacked up... one of the best things I see is when a host reviews and demos the product then put it up for a giveaway to a viewer... win win in many ways... just a thought...
Another great Friday video! I am glad to see you have been offered items from companies to test and review but I can see your point about having too much which is my problem. Thanks for sharing this and the taxi light and spark plugs were neat to see.
John, Your CB slip was funny. Clean and green good buddy. Keep it to a double nickel. LOL Is there anything you don’t have a collection. A man after my own heart. Nice spark plug refurb. Ready for the display case. Great intro to anti seize. Great distinction between the types. Best Regards, John
Scout, I've been using Fel-Pro C5-A (colloidal copper anti-sieze) ever since I saw a millwright dipping a 6-inch brush into a gallon of the stuff and spreading it on the head studs of a nuclear reactor. I figured if it was good enough for that job, it was good enough for anything I came up with. I originally had 3 quarts. After almost 50 years, I've just about finished the first quart.
A friend had some of those radioactive sparkplugs. I will have ask him sometime if he has any that come apart. Going to be 90 in the shade tomorrow. That's like 120 in the south.
Good episode...Take the engraver...reason: You can reintroduce the makers marks and information that has been/was removed during restoration. It is a great tool...stay safe...captjack...
I watch you for your-- "let's get this done with what we have in the shop'--- kind of encouragement. I'm not watching you for the advertising grift. But you do what you want, I won't abandon you because of it.
They needed to come apart to clean and remove the carbon buildup. I have a motorcycle maintenance manual from the 20s that recommends removing the cylinder head every 1000 miles to de-coke the piston and head.
We first responders also use a blue light to indicate wind direction, if known, when setting up an LZ (landing zone) for medical helicopters. Other lighting is generally red to establish corners of zone.
Time is moving way too fast and as far as advertisers go, unless I am already open to their products being good stuff, they'll never shake me. Got no time for 'em. Got way too many gadgets now and since I didn't get a new pickup, or ANOTHER pickup, I got a new mower and I'm more than satisfied. Go Upstate and have a GLORIOUS time! God Bless Yall!
I use evaporust and as soon as I take it out of the evaporust I head straight to running water with a wire brush. It washes the gray sludge away. Then the wire wheel.
Good stuff Bud!! Do you have any AC LM46B Plugs, they're the ones that light up when they spark!! I have about 6 of them, was gonna put 4 of them in our Briggs!!☻
0:53 Could you use the Laser Engraver as a tool to refurbish painted interior car parts? Wheeler Dealers had a Maserati where the interior plastic dash parts got 'sticky'! A guy rubbed Isopropyl Alcohol on everything. Repainted the parts, first in white paint, then in black paint. Used a Laser & Computer Program to burn off just the black paint, to reveal white numbers, logos, etc.. It cost 550 Pounds. It was stunning! New Maserati Dash Parts would have cost many thousands.
They sure have something about them, those old spark plugs. I would've never guessed you could get them as nice as you did. The pitting seemed to be very deep. As said I'm in Germany now and I can hear the crickets when it gets dark. Never hear those at home! Have a great weekend too.
Great video scout I think you should do the reviews you deserve the recognition and people really respect your perspectives on different things I would love to see it god bless have a great weekend 🇳🇿🇺🇸👌🏻👍🗽🪖45
Another great video John. My two cents on doing reviews. I think you should go for it. If they wanted to give me a $300 item, you bet I’d do it. You are not selling out. I know you would be selective and ‘work’ it into your videos the right way. I’m a diehard fan and will watch anything you put out here. I’d love to see you get some free stuff for all the effort you put in.
Congratulations on the 30k. I think the tool company partnerships are cool, but at some point their terms and conditions make this youtube thing a job and not a hobby. When Olsa reached out to me they had all sorts of parameters, which were not horrible, but in effect made me an employee and i don't need another boss 😂. I never knew sparkplugs could be unscrewed like that....wow. cheers
I recently found a very bad condition Dietz lantern but with a perfect blue glass globe in it. I had never seen a blue globe and wondered if it was for an airport or something.
Whan you come across a really good useful tool or whatever nothing wrong with talking about a good find...it's just some tubers thats all they do ...seems like...keep it sharp crafterman...🖖
My goal is to buy a vintage big beam. Do a full restore and complete led upgrade. But I want to go crazy like a 50 or 100 watt cob led lol. Will need huge heatsink. Maybe liquid metal instead of thermal pace and a fan. Those led will melt thru to china lmao
John - not sure ,but I believe I once read that stealing runway light covers is a federal crime. Not asking where you got yours. Great video and while I’m an old - timer I never knew you could take spark plugs apart. Not sure of the brand, but I remember a spark plug who advertised their plugs as “” Ring Of Fire”.
I must have taxied past a million of those blue taxi lights over the course of my 40+ year aviation career. I'll throw an aircraft spark plug into my pocket next Jacktown (nothing special, just cost more). I didn't think quenching a Pittsburg screwdriver tip would have been needed. Are they really hardened?
Hey Scoutcrafter you would only be selling out if you were a tool review channel which you are not. I say get all you can get. You earned it! Pumping out quality content day after day, week after week, year after year ain’t nothing. Give it away if you don’t want it. Take care 👍🏼😃
Brian- this stuff is gold- www.amazon.com/Permatex-09128-Copper-Anti-Seize-Lubricant/dp/B000HBM8HU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=16J76A7FOPJ1W&keywords=copper+anti+seize&qid=1692431824&sprefix=copper+anti%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-3
Great episode today. What did you do to those Pittsburgh screwdriver handles to clean them? Don't forget about the blue lights that Kmart used to use! ScoutCrafter sell out? Never! Jim
@@ScoutCrafter Thank you, John. I have several of that type of handles and am so tired of looking at the grungy mess they have become. Now I know how to treat them. Jim
Tarly fixes all channel sells sparkplug necklaces made out of sparkplugs. Check him out he's a highly recommended top notch channel to watch on small engine repairs . New subscriber here. Keep the vids coming to Pittsburgh Pa. God bless 🙏 and keep the videos coming 😊
OBI WON!!! ALWAYS have a lawyer read the contract.... CORPORATIONS ALWAY have fine print that are aimed to screw you over! NO MATTER how good it seems. I am FAAAAAAAAAAR from EVER having companies send me stuff, BUT I heard some great advise from Tony Kornhieser, Scotty; The grumpy car mechanic who yells A LOT, and Steve Young. Tony tells a great story about companies wanting to send him stuff. Steve told him to tell those companies to 'send me a box of that'. And Scotty added to that line "Send me that stuff AND if It is good and I use it, I will talk about it, I will do the same if I deem it GARBAGE.' 90% of companies NEVER end up sending him stuff with the fear of a bad review! HA!!!!
I would stay away from sponsorship offers. The email that got my channel hacked was a sponsorship offer. I opened a PDF and got hung. Only if I know the company and have a secure connection will I even accept an email. Never open a PDF unsolicited.
I don’t collect spark plugs, but I do collect Scoutcrafter sayings
Don’t be stingy with the 50/50
What kind of maniac only has one hammer?
What kind of maniac doesn’t like bearings?
What kind maniac only has one extension cord?
What kind maniac only has one screw driver?
Referring to a titanium tool he polished: you can’t polish these out unless you are a maniac!
What kind of maniac, who doesn’t own a dog, has a dog whistle?
50/50 is a great cleaner, I use it for everything- I brush my teeth with it, it’s just a fantastic product
Anything that has Danger on the label is worth buying! (Referring to an electric kiln that has a disk that basically went to 11 and had danger listed!)
What kind of maniac doesn’t own or love a heat gun?
What kind of maniac doesn’t love a spark plug? They are just so cool of an invention.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ernest Borgnine sure had a powerful on screen presence, I think The Poseidon Adventure was one of his best roles..............Lived to be 95, I remember towards the end of his life was doing a lot of traveling in his motorhome...........I gave away the car I bought new in 2000, never changed the plugs and it had over a 100,000 on it and still ran perfect.
The emperor of the North- 😃👍
Ragnar in the movie vikings , that’s one of his good roles

You know Jess, the things that were discarded years back are what really sparks memories for us today. 😃👍
I never realized the old plugs could be rebuilt very interesting thanks for the history lesson

The fire alarm boxes in my town had a blue lamp about halfway up the pole to let you know where the boxes were. Great show today!
Paul- You have a great poor Man’s Flea Market too! 😃👍
Another great show John, It has been in the 100's here in north Texas for several weeks now. The blue lights reminded me of how they were used at Kmart to sell clearance items.
Hi Scout -- one vote from me for keeping things the way they are with no freebies. You're a true man of the people!
It says a lot for you and your format that the bigs are coming after you as an advertising venue. I liked your spark plug cleanup. I didn't realize either that some plugs come apart.

Great strategy by Vevor. I couldn't resist their offer. Just did an ultrasonic cleaner video for them. 🤣
Great video John. Love how you repair broken screwdrivers .very interesting I have never seen those take apart spark plugs. You have a great weekend.
I really enjoy the format of your channel. I bcc would hate it to change to a small or large sales pitch.
You always find a way to remind me of the good old days or what hits a cord with DIY’r’s.
Thanks great video today.
That cobalt blue is such a beautiful colour.
Ian- I’ve loved that color forever! 😃👍

Great video..... Remember my Dad making sinkers for fishing out of old spark plugs..depression and war years.... Recycle everything
Good salesmen take advantage of opportunities. During the great depression, my old man was working on a roof next to RT 1(the Boston Post Road). It was sunny and hot. A guy drove up to the building and yelled up to my Dad asking if he'd like a cold Coke. Dad replied that he would but he didn't have a nickle. The man said its free if you drink it on top of the roof and the label faces the road. Dad climbed down, got it, climbed back up, and drank it with the label facing the road.

Spark plugs was fascinating,didn't know about the old ones actually came apart. Great episode and as always,thanks again!
You should do it! A little support for all your free content is a small price to pay! I watch you every time you upload! Thanks for all you do!
The sparkplugs remind me that the young vandals hoodlums crack old sparkplugs and use the ceramic rocks to silently shatter car and building windows. They call them Ninja Rocks. Not sure if you seen videos about it but pretty crazy how much it actually works.
I also thought you were setting us up for a joke and pull 2 brand plugs out of the vat lol.
It would be amazing of someone would send you those insense rust removal lasers. They look like loads of fun
I saw that! Apparently the insulator is so hard and sharp it shatters safety glass. 😃👍
I love watching your videos because I always learn something random and today was no exception. Now I want to go find an old spark plug to take apart.
I have 2 of the red runway lights with the aluminum base. These are leftovers from when my dad used to install landing systems and microwave radar bases.
No doubt that advancements in ignition sytems, valve timing, and lubricants are reponsible for long sparkplug life.

Sometimes at night, one can see a dim blinking blue light in the distance; this is the K-Mart Blue Light Special ghost.

Ryan- The movie was “Emperor of the North” with Lee Marvin. 1973. Interesting movie. Always liked seeing Ernest’s diversity in roles he could play. 😃👍
Nice show today John. You have a lot of different spark plugs. I suppose they will be a thing of the past soon. A friend and I were shopping in Home Depot a few months a go for a chainsaw and all they carry are electric. Mowers will be next 😬
Anyway have a good weekend and Thank You for sharing
Hi John.
My first 8N had spark plugs with the big base like that.
I found them at the autoparts store in Union City after a time spent looking . No internet then. It was just call and ask. Kind of nicer way to do the search. If the place didn't have them they would suggest someone else to call. Different world altogether.
Congrats on the 30K subs. 😁😎
I believe there is a company now that makes those old style plugs for tractors and hit and miss engines. 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter When there is a need entrepreneurs will fill it. 😁😎
What’s up John - I always wanted to see a spark plug taken apart 👈🏼 - Great video brother.. Thanks have a Good Weekend My Friend ~ Looking forward on meeting up soon 👍🏼
Al- Yes! Next week maybe. I’ll give you a shout!!! 😃👍
Great video 👍 Those Pittsburgh screwdrivers came out fantastic. Also what a great find at the Poor Man’s flea market finding that DeWalt toolbox 🧰. I like seeing those old vintage spark plugs ⚡️.
Those Champion spark plugs you cleaned up turned out great 👍. They really put a lot of time and effort with quality of their product back then,with the knurling & the stamping and such. I like the way the old spark plugs came apart so
You can repair 🔧 them if need be. Those plugs remind me of the furnace electrodes in a boiler or oil furnace where you can replace the electrodes or porcelain insulator if need be. I have somewhere a old vintage brown bottle of that Indianhead gasket shellac compound my dad had in his tool box. I believe also I have some of those old spark plugs too in a box my dad saved now I will have to find them and give them a clean up now 😂👍. Another great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze with that beautiful blue sky. Again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a great weekend. 😃👍👍
Steven- that old Indian head gasket shellac was great! 😂👍
Interesting, didn't know the old plugs came apart. Thank you.
ScoutCrafter,
If I remember correctly when I was a kid, back when "Service Stations" not only sold gas, they had one or two bays for car repairs, there were machines for cleaning spark plugs. I think these machines used abrasive grit to "sandblast" the tips of the plugs to remove deposits, extending the life of the plugs.
Bob
Yes- Bob- I have a small Plug sandblaster I bought back in about 1978, You hooked an air line to it and it sand blasted the plug. However I always felt the micro pits of the abrasive was worse! I still prefer a gentle wire wheel cleaning along with a spray of carb cleaner. 😃👍
Enjoy the weekend i find the old spark plugs to be neet items
I Always Liked Ernest Borgnine . One Of My Favorite Actors . A Lot Of Great Movies ! Nice Job 👍 on the Pittsburgh Screwdrivers . I Just Did A Upson Screw Grabbing Screwdriver . I Straightened the Tip . Removed A Scratched in Name And Polished it Up.
Ernest was a fantastic actor and could play so many roles. He was very cool in real life as there are videos of him with his beloved motor home on UA-cam. 😃👍
wow, I totally forgot about 2 piece plugs. Thanks for the memory jog!
Screwdriver advice. Taken in here. Thanks John! Spark plugs…. Never knew about the take down style of years ago. Very interesting.
I love those blue airport lights and am hoping to get one some day. My grandfather worked for the Santa Fe railroad and he had some old lanterns but I didn't get any of them.
They are flooding the flea markets now. Also eBay always has a great deal now and then. 😃👍
I have less than a K subs. I was really surprised when a company ask me to do a video for a 4in, Mini Chain Saw. Problem was I had just bought a 6 IN. and did a video on it. I did it anyway and gave it to my daughter. They also ask me to do a video on two more tools so I did just to get the tools. Yeah it's a great idea, and good for the company to get their product seen in action. Nice video, I recently picked up a couple AC spark plugs.
I think it is a fantastic idea to promote products. 😃👍
Great video señor marine. Saludos desde México.
Please do it. You are worth it and give great indepth reviews.
I would especially love you to take the high-tech laser cutters, 3d printers, and see you experiment with them. There is a need for that.
I think I would be good at reviewing stuff that is no longer produced! 😂👍
Thank you John I have a plan for lense I will meak a film for us 👍👍
Happy Friday John. Have a good weekend. Catch ya on Monday.
Love the knowledge you share, today you were talking about product review and you were pretty stacked up... one of the best things I see is when a host reviews and demos the product then put it up for a giveaway to a viewer... win win in many ways... just a thought...
Another great Friday video! I am glad to see you have been offered items from companies to test and review but I can see your point about having too much which is my problem. Thanks for sharing this and the taxi light and spark plugs were neat to see.
Nice little tutorial on spark plugs, enjoyed it. Thanks for posting the video sir.
John,
Your CB slip was funny. Clean and green good buddy. Keep it to a double nickel. LOL
Is there anything you don’t have a collection. A man after my own heart. Nice spark plug refurb. Ready for the display case. Great intro to anti seize. Great distinction between the types.
Best Regards,
John
John I found out the hard way about the different types of anti-seize when I couldn’t get my spark plugs out of my truck! 🫣😂👍
Great way of fixing up those screwdrivers and love the railroad lantern 👍
You have to love those blue glasses 💡 👍 😊
I always loved Cobalt Blue anything. 😃👍
great video John 👍👌🛠🔧🇨🇦
Interesting spark plug lesson! 👍
I think Vevor is a good brand. I've gotten several motor driven tools and they are doing great.
Scout, I've been using Fel-Pro C5-A (colloidal copper anti-sieze) ever since I saw a millwright dipping a 6-inch brush into a gallon of the stuff and spreading it on the head studs of a nuclear reactor. I figured if it was good enough for that job, it was good enough for anything I came up with. I originally had 3 quarts. After almost 50 years, I've just about finished the first quart.
A friend had some of those radioactive sparkplugs. I will have ask him sometime if he has any that come apart. Going to be 90 in the shade tomorrow. That's like 120 in the south.
Philip- 68 degrees here at 4am- Glorious!!!
😃👍
What kinda maniac would send Scoutcrafter a catalog? He'll just add it to his collection! 🇨🇦
Another great video. Absolutely love your reference to C4. Ha!
😂Tony - Only a few caught that! 😃👍
Grab the laser engraver....you'll be doing acetate and wood handles, etc., with the ScoutCrafter Logo on every show.
Bill- I’m so bad with technology. I’m only now figuring out 1940’s stuff!!! 🫣😂👍
Good episode...Take the engraver...reason: You can reintroduce the makers marks and information that has been/was removed during restoration. It is a great tool...stay safe...captjack...
I've been behind lately but as usual and excellent video
The plugs came out great.
hope all your critters are doing well, txs for sharing...
Tom- Just gave my little Raccoon a couple marshmallows. He’s happy as a clam! 😃👍
Glad to see those free pile screwdrivers get a new lease on life!
Great show, especially the spark plugs. Reminded me of the ones on the old CASE DC tractor ones.
I watch you for your-- "let's get this done with what we have in the shop'--- kind of encouragement. I'm not watching you for the advertising grift. But you do what you want, I won't abandon you because of it.
I’m not interested myself but I think it’s a great way to show a product to an audience that is already in that frame of mind. 😃👍
I did not know the old spark plugs came apart. Very interesting. I learned something today. Thanks.
Dave.
They needed to come apart to clean and remove the carbon buildup. I have a motorcycle maintenance manual from the 20s that recommends removing the cylinder head every 1000 miles to de-coke the piston and head.
We first responders also use a blue light to indicate wind direction, if known, when setting up an LZ (landing zone) for medical helicopters. Other lighting is generally red to establish corners of zone.
Excellent
Time is moving way too fast and as far as advertisers go, unless I am already open to their products being good stuff, they'll never shake me. Got no time for 'em. Got way too many gadgets now and since I didn't get a new pickup, or ANOTHER pickup, I got a new mower and I'm more than satisfied. Go Upstate and have a GLORIOUS time! God Bless Yall!
I use evaporust and as soon as I take it out of the evaporust I head straight to running water with a wire brush. It washes the gray sludge away. Then the wire wheel.
Me too! 😃👍
Good stuff Bud!! Do you have any AC LM46B Plugs, they're the ones that light up when they spark!! I have about 6 of them, was gonna put 4 of them in our Briggs!!☻
Those are pricy!!! You should do a demonstration video on how they look when operating! 😃👍
Take that blue light on your nightly walks & your neighbors will think you are from outer space
0:53 Could you use the Laser Engraver as a tool to refurbish painted interior car parts? Wheeler Dealers had a Maserati where the interior plastic dash parts got 'sticky'! A guy rubbed Isopropyl Alcohol on everything. Repainted the parts, first in white paint, then in black paint. Used a Laser & Computer Program to burn off just the black paint, to reveal white numbers, logos, etc.. It cost 550 Pounds. It was stunning! New Maserati Dash Parts would have cost many thousands.
They sure have something about them, those old spark plugs. I would've never guessed you could get them as nice as you did. The pitting seemed to be very deep. As said I'm in Germany now and I can hear the crickets when it gets dark. Never hear those at home! Have a great weekend too.
Alex- You sound like you are having a wonderful time. 😃👍
Great video scout I think you should do the reviews you deserve the recognition and people really respect your perspectives on different things I would love to see it god bless have a great weekend 🇳🇿🇺🇸👌🏻👍🗽🪖45
Another great video John. My two cents on doing reviews. I think you should go for it. If they wanted to give me a $300 item, you bet I’d do it. You are not selling out. I know you would be selective and ‘work’ it into your videos the right way. I’m a diehard fan and will watch anything you put out here. I’d love to see you get some free stuff for all the effort you put in.
Congratulations on the 30k. I think the tool company partnerships are cool, but at some point their terms and conditions make this youtube thing a job and not a hobby. When Olsa reached out to me they had all sorts of parameters, which were not horrible, but in effect made me an employee and i don't need another boss 😂. I never knew sparkplugs could be unscrewed like that....wow. cheers
I recently found a very bad condition Dietz lantern but with a perfect blue glass globe in it. I had never seen a blue globe and wondered if it was for an airport or something.
Blue, Red and Clear were the most popular colors- Amber a close fourth. They were big on the Railroad and quite collectible! 😃👍
Whan you come across a really good useful tool or whatever nothing wrong with talking about a good find...it's just some tubers thats all they do ...seems like...keep it sharp crafterman...🖖
Another great videeeeeooo 🎉
My goal is to buy a vintage big beam. Do a full restore and complete led upgrade. But I want to go crazy like a 50 or 100 watt cob led lol. Will need huge heatsink. Maybe liquid metal instead of thermal pace and a fan. Those led will melt thru to china lmao
The big Beams were iconic. 😃👍
Gotcha 👍👍🔩🔩
Almost missed this one.
John - not sure ,but I believe I once read that stealing runway light covers is a federal crime. Not asking where you got yours.
Great video and while I’m an old - timer I never knew you could take spark plugs apart. Not sure of the brand, but I remember a spark plug who advertised their plugs as “” Ring Of Fire”.
AC Delco Fire Ring Plugs! Sweet!!!
Aluminum antiseize binding up plugs eventually, yup I can attest to that lol 👍
I did it! Twice! 🫣😂👍
I must have taxied past a million of those blue taxi lights over the course of my 40+ year aviation career. I'll throw an aircraft spark plug into my pocket next Jacktown (nothing special, just cost more). I didn't think quenching a Pittsburg screwdriver tip would have been needed. Are they really hardened?
Brian- The tips are hardened just not tempered! 😂😂😂. Night flying is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. 😂👍
Hey Scoutcrafter you would only be selling out if you were a tool review channel which you are not. I say get all you can get. You earned it! Pumping out quality content day after day, week after week, year after year ain’t nothing. Give it away if you don’t want it. Take care 👍🏼😃
Did you use Goop or Plast-X to clean the screwdriver handles? Another great video - thanks.
Goop! Followed by a coat of 50-50 Vaseline and mineral oil. 😃👍
Great video as always. What did you put on the spark plugs to prevent future corrosion?
I was trying to decide if I wanted to blue them or not. I’m on the fence! 😂👍
I can't find the 3M brake lube on Amazon. Is there something similar that's readily available?
Brian- this stuff is gold- www.amazon.com/Permatex-09128-Copper-Anti-Seize-Lubricant/dp/B000HBM8HU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=16J76A7FOPJ1W&keywords=copper+anti+seize&qid=1692431824&sprefix=copper+anti%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-3
By now you should own Dake! :-)
😂😂😂- One day if I move to a new shop I’m going to get the bigger Dake- 😃👍
How do you store/sort all your screwdrivers and pliers?
I have a drawer of my roll away tool box that is filled with my user screwdrivers, my collectable ones are stored upstairs. 😃👍
Great episode today. What did you do to those Pittsburgh screwdriver handles to clean them? Don't forget about the blue lights that Kmart used to use! ScoutCrafter sell out? Never! Jim
Jim- Goop hand cleaner followed by a coat of 50/50 Mineral Oil/Vaseline! 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter Thank you, John. I have several of that type of handles and am so tired of looking at the grungy mess they have become. Now I know how to treat them. Jim

Did you see Kid Rock with one? What’s up with that?
I Seen a video of him shooting them.
OBI WON!!! ALWAYS have a lawyer read the contract.... CORPORATIONS ALWAY have fine print that are aimed to screw you over! NO MATTER how good it seems. I am FAAAAAAAAAAR from EVER having companies send me stuff, BUT I heard some great advise from Tony Kornhieser, Scotty; The grumpy car mechanic who yells A LOT, and Steve Young. Tony tells a great story about companies wanting to send him stuff. Steve told him to tell those companies to 'send me a box of that'. And Scotty added to that line "Send me that stuff AND if It is good and I use it, I will talk about it, I will do the same if I deem it GARBAGE.' 90% of companies NEVER end up sending him stuff with the fear of a bad review! HA!!!!
I would stay away from sponsorship offers.
The email that got my channel hacked was a sponsorship offer. I opened a PDF and got hung.
Only if I know the company and have a secure connection will I even accept an email.
Never open a PDF unsolicited.
Dave- There’s a special place in Hell for hackers. 😃👍
