Hello Steven! LOL I hope so! I would never be happy with them being Brown! If you want to see what they looked like before my video titled "Patina What is it and do you prefer it..." shows them when I first got them! Thanks!!!!!!!
My internals were crunching in pain the whole time. My wife and I go to flea markets and and antique malls. She goes 'antiquing'. I; however, am on the hunt. I want an old tool, that's a good tool, that can be so again. She likes it with the rust on it. I love to see the rusty tool that is waiting to be loved into a Jedi Master's light saber again. Luckily at the end of this you brought us back from the brink...
Beautiful work, as usual. You've totally inspired me to take better care of my tools as well as clean up those I find at estate sales. They work and feel so much better afterwards.
Hello NTSW! You are spot on when you said "Feel" better, so many times I let people hold the tools I restore and they are astonished at how wonderful they feel! Nothing worse then a Brown tool! LOL Thanks so much!
Haha. I will say the patina thing is two fold for me. Do I love your restored tools? Absolutely! Do I love old tools with patina? Absolutely! I think it depends on the tool, it’s purpose to you, and where it came from. I can see someone getting a tool from their grandfather and want to restore it in honor of him, but I can also see someone leave it as is to honor him. The sweat, blood, and tears that caused that patina may be precious and priceless.
Hello Jake! Absolutely! I don't restore all my tools, I have many that are just wire-brushed and oiled... They do get a certain color over time that doesn't bother me. My Great Grandfathers Vise is something I leave alone... What gets to me is people pretending Patina is special... It's only Rust and tarnish... Brown tools are about as interesting as Bologna on White... Now when you take that same tool and restore it now it becomes interesting again... I know, people see a plain tool I restored and are amazed by it, when ten minutes ago they passed by 5 just like it but unrestored... =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!
You totally got me. I was screaming at the screen. It does make me think of these guys who "relic" guitars to make them look old. Makes no sense to me. For what it's worth, I aspire to make tools look like you do. Great video.
Hello Ben!!!! People are nuts! There is this show on TV called Rat Rods where they take vehicles and make them look like they were dragged out of the sea! Crazy stuff! LOL Thanks so much Ben!!!!!!!!
Patina is the way to go! It advertises the character of the tool and gives gracious value! What can i say, I’m a wholehearted patina guy!!!!! Great awesome vid !!!!!! Thanks !!!!
@@ScoutCrafter well I know this is an old video but let me give you my perspective, also that oiled dark look out of the package was patina in my book. Many of my tools were given to me by my great grandfather, to take off the scratches and discoloration would be like erasing a part of him.
I was shouting at my monitor, "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" when you said you were gonna age those! I totally fell for it. No one can say you didn't go the extra mile for your viewers! That was a very enjoyable 8 minutes! Thank you!
You had me hook, line and sinker! I almost fell out of my chair when you did that. April Fools Day in November!Keep up the great work Scout, Happy Holidays!
Doug, you said it, April Fool's!!!! I was seriously trying to figure out who he was trying to appease with rust, errrrrr, Patina, and your comment was exactly my thought.
Good one! I thought you had lost your mind there for a second or two. But when your voice didn't crack and I didn't see tears falling into the "Patina Soup", I figured it was a joke. Thanks for the laugh.
You dog! I wanted to scream at you and call for the rubber room to get ready you clearly had gone over the hill. Now that you have removed the "hook, line, and sinker" - great video and good fun!
nice job, I like both patina and nos look. my cars (1950 rocket 88)and guitars also have patina, Fender sells what they call relic finish, and these go for big$.
@@ScoutCrafter I really expected gun bluing or something like that. Not "rust tea". Thinking about it more, cold bluing might be an interesting experiment.
You got me. This should have been posted on April 1st. Now on a serious note. Just for the heck of it buy a cheapo hammer and give it some Patina. I have an old Kobalt hammer (was less than $10 new) that looks amazing with the patina I have naturally worked into it. It's now to the point where it's naturally resistant to rust. It actually has some sentimental value as well so that along with the beauty of it made me decide to retire it a couple months ago from use at work. It sits at home now and every time I see it I think of my humble beginnings as a handyman when I was a teenager and Dad and I built a deck together with that hammer. To me patina on a tool is like gray hair on a man or woman. It says "I've been around a while and I've done a lot. I may not be smooth and shiny and new but I built this place and I'll build more. Now hang out with me and you will learn something."
Hello AP! You know all of us here have tools with normal wear on it and it's no big deal... What we hate is the pretentious know it all's that condemn restorations because it ruins the "Patina" a made up word that describes nothing more then tarnish and rust! Everyday tools can't look all pristine and shiny but some of the patina guys are just obnoxious! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Too much work. Do it like the rest of us. Go get your ladder, put them in the leaf gutter by the front door, and take them out next March. Here, in Nevada, as in Texas we would also just leave the ladder there also, since we plan on using it in that same spot in about 90 days
Hello Mark! LOL That would work!!!!! I found a pair of pliers in my yard last month that looked like they were dredged from the sea! I don't know where they came from! Maybe a Seagull? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, you had me Scoutcrafter. Found your channel by chance a few weeks ago and love it, didn't take long to binge watch your previous videos. Newcastle UK.
Hello Peter! I am so glad you found us! I am not monetized so this channel isn't advertised in the suggestion bar too much. If you found me it was fate! LOL We have the best bunch of people here! Anything you need just ask! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
For a min. I thought we were going to have to get you professional help.....Ya got us, fun video....and by the way, What great pliers, I have a pair, very heavy patina...Thanks again for another great Video
Hello Joel! OI have a few NeverSlip! I love them! Such a cool idea! They were quite popular for a while but lost out to Klein who was the King of side-cutters! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
I like to use orange juice to make patina on carbon steel blades. The color lasts for decades, and just needs an oily wipedown occasionally. You had me fooled on this one! Great Stuff!
You got me, I couldn't believe you would do that, but you had me believing. I was getting ready to tell you I liked the before not after, but you let us off the hook. Great prank, no harm no foul.
Scoutcrafter, I was screaming at the screen, Noooooooo! followed by uncontrollable sobbing when you put them in the mixture. Reminded me of the time you were holding on to the sheet metal before drilling. You really had me fooled.
Hello Tony! LOL It was a fun one to make but I had to reverse all the procedures to make it believable! =D The Patina Juice was just Lipton Tea! =D Thanks Tony!!!!!!!!
OK, you got me. I was screaming 'please don't do it' inside the whole time and, thankfully, you didn't (I was also screaming unprintable things to the patina crowd!)
Hello WW! Those NeverSlip pliers were very interesting because the replaceable jaws seemed like a great Idea, they didn't catch on though and makers like Klein ruled the side cutting plier world! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
Hey ScoutCrafter! I read the title and I'm thinking, there is no darn way he's gonna do this to that beautiful tool. Glad you were joking! That patina juice looked like iced tea. I loved the reveal with the butcher paper, I almost thought I was going to see that double clawed hammer but that wasn't NOS. Great job on the cleanup!!👍
Hello Steve! LOL I know you wouldn't fall for the old Patina gag from me of all people!!!!! You're right, it was Lipton Tea! Looked convincing though! LOL This was so much fun to make but confusing because I had to do everything in reverse! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice chemistry work there Scout 👍... I know it probably against the rules but... I appreciate both with and without Patina...both are cool 😎 Thumbs up 👍!!
The idea of adding patina caught my eye . It is not a tool but I have a Civil War musket that someone cleaned the exterior outside of the barrel and took all the rust and patina off [eaving the barrel bright white metal . I have tried to think of ideas to age it without making it look like a rust bucket.
Tommy! I have a Springfield 1861 Rifle I made from a kit... The parts were made from original molds and the rifle is amazing! Now believe it or not Bluing was uncommon for these rifles and the bright polished finish aided in keeping the rifle easy to clean. Remember we are talking Black powder here! Soldiers would often heat up a barrel of hot soapy water and submerge their rifle barrels into the water and scrub them clean! Then polish them back to a nifty shine! I have my barrel smooth and polished and it took me many hours to get it that way! I think you should enjoy the polish of that beautiful barrel Tommy! If you ever go to a civil war reenactment you will see many shiny barrels and the rifles looking just beautiful!!!!!!!!!
This is a 1861 Enfield it's not a reproduction its a 150 + year old original. it has been in the family for years. The exterior of the barrel has pitting and somebody polished the surface of the barrel at sometme. I would like to have the barrel to have more of a gun metal gray color. I don't want to use bluing or browning to try to get the color, I am trying to think of something natural that might do it. The rest of the metal has a dark patina and has not been polished bright.I am trying to figure out something to blend the color of the barrel with the rest of the metal. I am not trying to make it look new and shiney.
Ok you got me! I was slowly being crushed, why would he do that? What is this man thinking, then of course as always, finish product is impeccable! Thanks for the videos love watching them with my young son!
Andrew! Funny back story... When I first started the channel I was getting a lot of gruff from guys who liked Patina... So this was kind of a jab at them... =D Still one of my favorite videos!!!! Thanks so much!
ScoutCrafter I’m rolling my eyes at Patina, some things are better with age however the age of the tool and the quality it was built with isn’t measured by “patina” .These tools were built with purpose pride and high quality steel I say let that shine and do the talking. As always sir love the videos thank for all the good advice and sharing of knowledge and keeping craftsmanship alive.
I have a even half dozen of these in my Father's old shop still in the boxes with the original pricing. Thank you for the great channel. Huggs...captjack...
Not kidding. I was given the contents of a hardware store that closed in the late 1940's. I have the entire contents in one of my barns, everything from hinges, tools, etc. Thank you for your great videos. Huggs...captjack
Hello John!!!! I was trying to make the point that so many people said "Leave the patina on" when I featured these pliers on an earlier video titled "Patina What is it and do you prefer it..." These are those pliers! Go figure! LOL Thanks John!!!!!!!
You are so hilarious! Again I just love your sense of humor! However, with that being said would your patina concoction really work? I have a hammer project I would like to try it on but would want to be sure before I tried it. You are the best!
Hello Dave! A little early or late, depending where you are looking from! =) Some people didn't see the end and are still weeping! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!
You really pulled a good one on all of us...I guess it was easy since we all feel you are such an honest guy. You even got me with the duct tape on your address.....I'm thinking he is so honest telling us why he did it.... Good job this time but don't try it again buddy....😂😂😂😂
Hello Nick! LOL I was just trying to make a point about Patina... I did a video titled "Patina, What it is and do you prefer it..." In that video I asked should these be restored or not. Lots of people said leave them as they are! However I believe those same people would be saying "Don't put patina on them!" LOL Thanks so much!!!!
Nice set of pliers I like how you restore the tools better then patina looks good on car and trucks not tools maybe if they are unrestore able condition when you will break it if you restore it killing me whatching you do that to such a nice pliers thanks for always replying don't change that you had me going 😂
Hello 70 Chevy! Yes! You and everyone else was cringing at the thought of ruining a beautiful pair of pliers! LOL Don't worry, they are nice and minty and will stay that way! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Hello Christina! LOL I can't! You are way too sharp around that time expecting such foolishness! =D You have been with the channel far too long to know I am not one for "Patina" LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!
Hi ScoutCrafter, My son is a patina maker expert. He could help you save on that kosher salt. He just leaves his tools on the grass for a day or two ... And there you have it, patina for everyone 😅. But he likes the wirebrush on that old B&D drill I restored. So its a win win situation 😁.
Hello Yotam! He is young still and sometimes forgets... I too did the same thing for years! The good thing is he is really good at using tools!!! In another 7 years he will be building go karts and bicycles!!!! Yes!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
That had April 1st Written all over it!! LOL! If you had taken a truly NOS piece and put PATINA on it, It woulda been time to send you to Creedmore! You remember that place!! LOL! They used to have the 13th floor at Meadowbrook Hospital too!! Anyway! GREAT Unrestoration!!
Hello Roger!!! LOL The Patina guys have no sense of humor and I am sure are trying to ban me from UA-cam! LOL Life is too short to take silly things so seriously... You and I know that all too well! Thanks Roger!!!!!!!
Wow! you can tell he was a old timer just by how it was packed in paper with string and pliers signed ontop. Those would go strait into my drawer to never be used and look what you did!
Oh boy you had me going on that one! I figured you must have finally lost your mind! NOS! Patina????? Thank God it all turns out well. I have to give you credit for putting one over on us. LOL my wife even though you lost it.
Holy Wah! I have to take the fish hook out of my cheek because you made me strike on that one. Awesome video and a great joke. Thanks for the laugh and the heart attack.
@@ScoutCrafter Their loss if they didn't stay to the end. I don't know if in the USA they have April fools day (1st of April) like they do here in the UK. Its a day when you try to trick a friends or family into believing some thing that is not true. Some years back, a serious news program did a spoof video about the Italian annual spaghetti harvest depicting ladies picking fresh spaghetti from trees, amazing how many people believed the story , see video here on youtube m.ua-cam.com/video/tVo_wkxH9dU/v-deo.html enjoy.
Hello James! Everyone is savvy around April and looking for a Prank... This was slipped in and left people scratching their heads! LOL Thanks so much James!!!!!
I was beginning to wonder what you had done with the real scoutcrafter! I wasn't sure whether to send the police or the men in white coats round! well done! :)
🤣 Nicely done. You got everybody on that one! Before viewing the end I was going to say: Well, I guess we need another video to renovate these pliers and get rid of the fake patina because it was better before. 😂
Almost got me. I was just hovering to click away and stopped when I saw the "Hold up, wait a minute!". I prefer the cleaned up look myself. Patina is just a salesman's term. Like "Sea-view, executive, Classic, Deluxe, etc...". The marketing people have gone too far, nowadays you can buy a new pair of jeans with holes in the knees, and pay extra for the rips. I remember buying Levi's back in the 70's and after the first wash you could stand them in the corner, they were that rugged. Nowadays they don't and they call them distressed. LOL
Hello 1lupus! You are so right... I saw a pic the other day of my GF's daughter's friends, they were all wearing ripped jeans... How original... All followers! Young adults looked so handsome/pretty in the 50's.. What happened?!? I'm showing my age! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello N! How funny was that!? You know the Patina Juice was actually Lipton Tea! =D These pliers were the same one from my video explaining Patina! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Hello Frank! LOL Imagine all the people screaming at their screens when I put the pliers in the Patina Juice??! LOL BTW it was just Lipton Tea... Good times for sure! Thanks Frank!!!!!!!!!
Hello TD! Look at my video "Patina, What it is and do you prefer it..." These are those pliers! I restored them and shot the video backwards, the Patina Juice was only Lipton Tea! LOL I never put patina on them only took it off! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello NN LOL You're right! Not for me... I like tools that look and feel new! I guess I feel that way because I was born too late and never got to see all the great tools NEW, by the time I saw them they were Brown! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Scott- Hot bluing is the ticket... Expensive and messy but it leave the surface a beautiful dark cobalt Blue! The crap they call bluing today is horrible!
Those pliers are absolutely beautiful. You did a perfect job of antiquing them. I prefer the brilliant finish.
Hello Steven! LOL I hope so! I would never be happy with them being Brown! If you want to see what they looked like before my video titled "Patina What is it and do you prefer it..." shows them when I first got them! Thanks!!!!!!!
My internals were crunching in pain the whole time. My wife and I go to flea markets and and antique malls. She goes 'antiquing'. I; however, am on the hunt. I want an old tool, that's a good tool, that can be so again. She likes it with the rust on it. I love to see the rusty tool that is waiting to be loved into a Jedi Master's light saber again. Luckily at the end of this you brought us back from the brink...
Beautiful work, as usual. You've totally inspired me to take better care of my tools as well as clean up those I find at estate sales. They work and feel so much better afterwards.
Hello NTSW! You are spot on when you said "Feel" better, so many times I let people hold the tools I restore and they are astonished at how wonderful they feel! Nothing worse then a Brown tool! LOL Thanks so much!
Haha. I will say the patina thing is two fold for me. Do I love your restored tools? Absolutely! Do I love old tools with patina? Absolutely! I think it depends on the tool, it’s purpose to you, and where it came from. I can see someone getting a tool from their grandfather and want to restore it in honor of him, but I can also see someone leave it as is to honor him. The sweat, blood, and tears that caused that patina may be precious and priceless.
Hello Jake! Absolutely! I don't restore all my tools, I have many that are just wire-brushed and oiled... They do get a certain color over time that doesn't bother me. My Great Grandfathers Vise is something I leave alone... What gets to me is people pretending Patina is special... It's only Rust and tarnish... Brown tools are about as interesting as Bologna on White... Now when you take that same tool and restore it now it becomes interesting again... I know, people see a plain tool I restored and are amazed by it, when ten minutes ago they passed by 5 just like it but unrestored... =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!
You totally got me. I was screaming at the screen. It does make me think of these guys who "relic" guitars to make them look old. Makes no sense to me.

Great video.
Hello Ben!!!! People are nuts! There is this show on TV called Rat Rods where they take vehicles and make them look like they were dragged out of the sea! Crazy stuff! LOL Thanks so much Ben!!!!!!!!
Patina is the way to go! It advertises the character of the tool and gives gracious value! What can i say, I’m a wholehearted patina guy!!!!! Great awesome vid !!!!!! Thanks !!!!
I’m with you - shiny and new looking beats patina any day of the week. Great vid.
Hello Spike! I agree 100% Why would anyone choose patina over new? I never got that! Thanks so much!!

Never slip pliers tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things
Hello SM! LOL That is good! I was reading that and hearing the Sound of Music theme! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
You had me hook, line and sinker! I almost fell out of my chair when you did that. April Fools Day in November!Keep up the great work Scout, Happy Holidays!
Hello Doug! I am so glad you got the joke! It was fun to do! I can only imagine people screaming at their screens! =) Thanks again Doug!!!!!!!
Doug, you said it, April Fool's!!!! I was seriously trying to figure out who he was trying to appease with rust, errrrrr, Patina, and your comment was exactly my thought.
You can't do it on April 1st... you have to strike when they least expect it :P
THANK YOU...for sharing. Enjoyed.
Good one. I knew something was up. That's the only patina I like. Clean and no grimy rust. Take care buddy.
Hello LJ! You've been with the channel too long to fall for this prank... LOL It was good fun though! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Good one! I thought you had lost your mind there for a second or two. But when your voice didn't crack and I didn't see tears falling into the "Patina Soup", I figured it was a joke. Thanks for the laugh.

Hello John! That was too funny! =) I am so glad you got the joke! The "juice" was just Lipton Tea! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kept thinking he must be pranking us, but you had me worried all the way to the end. Well played! (The "cosmoline" was a great touch!)
Hello Gerald... You have to admit that was some pretty good acting! LOL Thanks so much! I'm so glad you got the joke!!!!!!

I honestly thought you'd gone mad.
Best youtube troll I've seen in ages.😂😂😂
Hello Omar! LOL I would have gone nuts if I did that for real! However there are crazy people who do! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
I have a even half dozen of these in my Father's old shop still in the boxes with the original pricing.
Thank you for the great channel. Huggs...captjack...
Hello Jack! Are you kidding!?!?! NOS NeverSlip pliers? Now I'm being pranked! LOL Thanks Jack!!!!!!!!!!!
Not kidding. I was given the contents of a hardware store that closed in the late 1940's. I have the entire contents in one of my barns, everything from hinges, tools, etc. Thank you for your great videos. Huggs...captjack
Hi Jack! Old tools, hardware, barns... You are my type of guy!!!! Happy Thanksgiving my friend! 😃👍
That was a good one. Even after a few drinks you wanting to make something look old threw me off. I'm glad I watched all the way to the end.
Hello Matt! LOL I'm glad too! A couple people signed off early and were PISSED!!!! =D Thanks so much!!!!!
You’re the best. Loved it. Keep up the good work. 😂😂😂
Hello Sawtooth! Thanks so very much! Glad you got the joke! =)
Well you most certainly had me going . Nice job as usual.
Hello Kevin! LOL I am so glad you got the joke! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Patina juice!!! I’m definitely gonna use that 😂🤣 you really had me going! Great vid!
Hello Alex! It's always fun to have a good smile in the beginning of the week! =) Thanks so much!!!!
You got me! Thank God it was just a prank! I thought you had lost your mind!
Hello Mason! LOL If ever you see me do that then I really have lost my mind! LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!
I'd have kept this one for April 1st, you got me, but I'm with you on the real finish.
Hello IKM! Yes, nothing beats a nice new looking pair of NeverSlip pliers! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!
Thank goodness! I was sitting here saying “Scout has gone nuts! Why ruin that beautiful pair of pliers?”
Now I can rest easy !
Hello John!!!! I was trying to make the point that so many people said "Leave the patina on" when I featured these pliers on an earlier video titled "Patina What is it and do you prefer it..." These are those pliers! Go figure! LOL Thanks John!!!!!!!
You are so hilarious! Again I just love your sense of humor! However, with that being said would your patina concoction really work? I have a hammer project I would like to try it on but would want to be sure before I tried it. You are the best!
So Kosher Dill rubbed on the pliers makes them better?
Is it April already?
Hello Dave! A little early or late, depending where you are looking from! =) Some people didn't see the end and are still weeping! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!
Ha! You are too much! Thanks for the laugh this evening. A+
Hello Daniel! That is all the fun! Nothing beats a good old fashioned prank! I used to love them at work! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
You really pulled a good one on all of us...I guess it was easy since we all feel you are such an honest guy. You even got me with the duct tape on your address.....I'm thinking he is so honest telling us why he did it....
Good job this time but don't try it again buddy....😂😂😂😂
Hello Nick! LOL I was just trying to make a point about Patina... I did a video titled "Patina, What it is and do you prefer it..." In that video I asked should these be restored or not. Lots of people said leave them as they are! However I believe those same people would be saying "Don't put patina on them!" LOL Thanks so much!!!!
Nice set of pliers I like how you restore the tools better then patina looks good on car and trucks not tools maybe if they are unrestore able condition when you will break it if you restore it killing me whatching you do that to such a nice pliers thanks for always replying don't change that you had me going 😂
Hello 70 Chevy! Yes! You and everyone else was cringing at the thought of ruining a beautiful pair of pliers! LOL Don't worry, they are nice and minty and will stay that way! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome ScoutCrafter. Great joke and great video.
Vaughn
Hello Vaughn! I am so glad you got the joke! Some people didn't see the end and were Pissed! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
Haha. I've watched too many of your videos to fall for that one. Still made me laugh though!!!
Hello DC! Yes, it was a stretch for sure! LOL Thanks very much!!!
Scout keep your high standard's Don't let them beat you down.
Hello Norherman! I will never surrender to Patina! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter BLESS you!
That was good. You really had me fooled! Thanks for sharing this great prank!!!!!
Hi John! Nothing like a good joke on a Monday! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha your crazy Scout. Thanks for the laugh🤣🤘🏻
Hello Kevin! A good laugh on a Monday is the best start of a new week! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Whew! You had me! I was about to cry! 😭
You should have saved that for April Fool's!
Hello Christina! LOL I can't! You are way too sharp around that time expecting such foolishness! =D You have been with the channel far too long to know I am not one for "Patina" LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!
Just blown your April fools gag!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello Alan! The worst part is everyone is expecting it in April! Nobody thinks of a gag in November! LOL! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Hi ScoutCrafter, My son is a patina maker expert. He could help you save on that kosher salt.
He just leaves his tools on the grass for a day or two ... And there you have it, patina for everyone 😅.
But he likes the wirebrush on that old B&D drill I restored. So its a win win situation 😁.
Hello Yotam! He is young still and sometimes forgets... I too did the same thing for years! The good thing is he is really good at using tools!!! In another 7 years he will be building go karts and bicycles!!!! Yes!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
That had April 1st Written all over it!! LOL! If you had taken a truly NOS piece and put PATINA on it, It woulda been time to send you to Creedmore! You remember that place!! LOL! They used to have the 13th floor at Meadowbrook Hospital too!! Anyway! GREAT Unrestoration!!
Hello Bill! LOL Creedmore! We always would joke about that place growing up! It's still there! It didn't look too scary! =D Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter We used to joke about it too! I knew you would get the reference! LOL!
Thank you, I was starting to tear up a little.
Love the way you did this vid...nice tool..
Hello Blackie! You have been on the channel long enough to know something was fishy from the start! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
can you show how to do shelf wear properly???? LOL... i like the clean look over the "patina" myself
Hello Roger!!! LOL The Patina guys have no sense of humor and I am sure are trying to ban me from UA-cam! LOL Life is too short to take silly things so seriously... You and I know that all too well! Thanks Roger!!!!!!!
LOL, have to lighten things up every now and then 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 oh yeah, love the pliers 😎👍🤠
Hello Jim! A good laugh on a Monday is just the ticket! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome, Sir 🤠
Wow! you can tell he was a old timer just by how it was packed in paper with string and pliers signed ontop. Those would go strait into my drawer to never be used and look what you did!
LOL!!! Got ME!!!
Hello Doug!!!! LOL It was a good prank and I am so glad it brought so many smiles and sighs of relief! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter I was relieved!! I had butter flies in my stomach LMAO. Truly a good ONE!
Oh boy you had me going on that one! I figured you must have finally lost your mind! NOS! Patina????? Thank God it all turns out well. I have to give you credit for putting one over on us. LOL my wife even though you lost it.
Hello Michael! LOL It was a good April fools day joke 7 months late! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!
Awesome video!!......too funny!!!!!!!
Hello RN! Thanks so much! I'm so glad you got the joke! =)
Holy Wah! I have to take the fish hook out of my cheek because you made me strike on that one. Awesome video and a great joke. Thanks for the laugh and the heart attack.
Hello HDH! I am so glad you got the joke and enjoyed a good laugh! I love a good prank! =D Thanks so much!!!!!!!
Very enjoyable!
Hello Steve! I am so glad you got the joke! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
APRIIIIIIL FOOOOOOOL! (in November, no less!) You had me going, Mr. Crafter!
Hello Dave!!!! 7 months late! LOL I'm so glad you got the joke!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Just awsome😂 thanks for sharing
Hello Iso! I am so gad you got the joke! A few people didn't stay to the end and were so pissed! LOL Thanks very much!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Their loss if they didn't stay to the end. I don't know if in the USA they have April fools day (1st of April) like they do here in the UK. Its a day when you try to trick a friends or family into believing some thing that is not true. Some years back, a serious news program did a spoof video about the Italian annual spaghetti harvest depicting ladies picking fresh spaghetti from trees, amazing how many people believed the story , see video here on youtube
m.ua-cam.com/video/tVo_wkxH9dU/v-deo.html enjoy.
I haven't experienced this much relief since the first time my oldest child stopped screaming after 3 continuous hours.
Hello Allan! LOL I wish I could have seen your face after the final "dip"... How many WTF's did you spew!!? LOL Thanks very much Allan!!!!!!!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't too confused to say anything.
LOL I knew there was no way in hell you would rust up those gorgeous pliers. Nice one.
LOL Emerson! It was so funny to start filming the video with the pliers Brown, then do everything in reverse... LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Thank God. You had me the whole way. I thought you lost your mind for a second. That was a good goof. Is today April 1?
Hello Tony! I wish I could have seen all the reactions after the final "dip"... =D It would be priceless! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant. What a tinker you are! I was yelling at the screen to ‘**** those patina guys’. What will you do on April 1st now?!
Hello James! Everyone is savvy around April and looking for a Prank... This was slipped in and left people scratching their heads! LOL Thanks so much James!!!!!
Brilliant as usual
Hello Gril Nam! Just a little fun to start the week! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!
ScoutCrafter a nice relaxing wind down before bed in the UK.
I was beginning to wonder what you had done with the real scoutcrafter!
I wasn't sure whether to send the police or the men in white coats round!
well done!
:)
Hello VS! LOL Yes, if ever I did do that it would be time for the Looney Bin for sure! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂
I was thinking No way Scoutcrafter Great prank 👍
Hello Gordon!!!! There was that moment when you were saying to yourself "No F-Ing Way!" LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!! =D
🤣 Nicely done. You got everybody on that one! Before viewing the end I was going to say: Well, I guess we need another video to renovate these pliers and get rid of the fake patina because it was better before. 😂
Hello Gael! You are so right they were better before! (Which was really after) LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!
Almost got me. I was just hovering to click away and stopped when I saw the "Hold up, wait a minute!". I prefer the cleaned up look myself. Patina is just a salesman's term. Like "Sea-view, executive, Classic, Deluxe, etc...". The marketing people have gone too far, nowadays you can buy a new pair of jeans with holes in the knees, and pay extra for the rips. I remember buying Levi's back in the 70's and after the first wash you could stand them in the corner, they were that rugged. Nowadays they don't and they call them distressed. LOL
Hello 1lupus! You are so right... I saw a pic the other day of my GF's daughter's friends, they were all wearing ripped jeans... How original... All followers! Young adults looked so handsome/pretty in the 50's.. What happened?!? I'm showing my age! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You pulled an Orson Welles on us! How many people were writing down the recipe for the "patina juice"! LOL
Hello N! How funny was that!? You know the Patina Juice was actually Lipton Tea! =D These pliers were the same one from my video explaining Patina! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Great demonstration! the whole time I'm thining: no way, no way,!
Hello Matt! LOL That was a great prank wasn't it!? Some people didn't stay to the end and were so PISSED! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!!!
GOOD ONE! You had me.
Hello Frank! LOL Imagine all the people screaming at their screens when I put the pliers in the Patina Juice??! LOL BTW it was just Lipton Tea... Good times for sure! Thanks Frank!!!!!!!!!
Neat pliers. I like stuff made in Jersey
Lol... Great upload. Glad you polished them up again👍🏻Oxidisation is the work of the Devil!😂
Hello TD! Look at my video "Patina, What it is and do you prefer it..." These are those pliers! I restored them and shot the video backwards, the Patina Juice was only Lipton Tea! LOL I never put patina on them only took it off! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter HaHa... You got me!!😂😂
@@BestUserNameUK Just glad it gave you a laugh! =D
thank God, i was just about to write a scolding review of that abomination. very good job cleaning them up.
Hello Riphaven... If ever I did such a thing for real I would have officially lost my mind! LOL Thanks so much!
Oh thank god!! I was about to fire off a what the hell are you doing!!!! Nice one scout had me going till the end.....
Hello Loxxxton! That was a funny goof wasn't it!!? It just goes to show how ridiculous Patina really is! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter well said
I like your style bro......Happy Thanksgiving
Hello Joe! Just a little fun for us to have a good laugh! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Brilliant 🙂
Wait......Patina Juice.......is that like Reverse Evaporust? Great video!
Hello NN LOL You're right! Not for me... I like tools that look and feel new! I guess I feel that way because I was born too late and never got to see all the great tools NEW, by the time I saw them they were Brown! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
noooooooo...I was yelling in my head as they plunged into the old age juice
Hello Brian! LOL How funny was that!? Actually the age juice was Lipton Tea! =D LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a method of bluing that gunsmiths use that involves boiling in water after controlled rusting and and time spent in a humidity box.
Hi Scott- Hot bluing is the ticket... Expensive and messy but it leave the surface a beautiful dark cobalt Blue! The crap they call bluing today is horrible!
for me ,I like the way you do it
Hello Timothy! Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!!!!!!
Oh,you had me there! Haha!
Hello LSM! I am so glad you enjoyed the prank! It's always fun! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Haha! Patina juice. Great video, you got me. Regards from England
Hello Jon! LOL That Patina Juice was actually Lipton Tea! =D Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
Lol trickster! They are beautiful 😀👍🇺🇸
Hello OE! Thanks so much! So glad you had a laugh too! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVERSINK ---- LOVE IT.
Thanks great video and you had me going saiding WHY !!!!!!
Hello Willy! LOL I could just see you shaking your head saying WTH is he doing!?!? LOL Thanks so much!!!
I enjoy seeing your restoration videos, please don't un-restore tools!
LOL Not to fear Tim! This was just a prank for a good Monday laugh! All is as it should be and the Patina is all gone! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
