    VM turned out great! It's a shame the wood was to poor to use a stain, would be nice to make/find a box with good wood to get that look.

    That was a really good FM haul. Gauge is a beauty now. Offsetting the bezel with a red color was an excellent idea. Not bad for a lefty.😆👍🏻 Great video!

    You did quite well, John! There are some excellent and unique tools there. Scoutcrafter has inspired me to keep a look out for those old meters as well. If only to preserve a piece of history... and they look neat sitting on the shelf! Wonderful job on the voltmeter. It even looks like Scoutcrafter red! 😄👍

    Thanks John, good to have another restoration from you, hoping you're back to full fitness soon, I wondered if the screw in the glass was an adjustment screw for calibrating the meter ! That's an amazing haul of tools there, the Stanley plane is a great buy at that price and the level, wrench & chisel appear to be quite uncommon - very interesting ! I guess the wrench must be specifically made for steel frame construction hence the allignment bar or "podger" !

    Good to see you back in the game...that plane was a steel...it's a low angle block plane very handy for custom finish work,made for shaving end grain... micro cuts when fitting joints...must be kept razor sharp...🖖

    Awesome job John! I would tell you to try those tun o towels on some dirty tool handles but I think all your handles are spotless! 😃👍

    Very interesting tool finds, and nice volt meter restoration. I have my grandfathers VM, but it is not in a wooden case. I think you are correct about the level. The sliding covers are meant to protect the vials.

    That is a great haul John. I found a couple of those items recently, the Stanley angle tool and the Stanley plane in the box. I also have a voltage box like yours except for two things mine is made of heavy paper or card board and it is a Battery tester 1.5 volt. Man you found some great stuff. Take care have a good week.

    Nice tool haul. I like that Stanley Level and that homemade meter. I laughed when you said a tribute to ScoutCrafter because when I seen that meter that's exactly who I thought of! Nice job on the cleanup. Did you use Tub-O-Towels on the wires? 😁

    Love the homemade meter box, turned out fantastic!
    I used a 16 inch adjustable Klein wrench with the alignment pin all the time when I was in the structural steel business. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the little Crescent............If you didn't have a Stanley collection before you do now, some great old Stanley tools there.

      I think they were called spud wrench .

    • @rawbacon
      @rawbacon 28 днів тому

      @@larrymills8527 Yes they were and they also call a couple different types of wrenches used for plumbing spud wrenches too. You'll notice if you do a search for "Spud Wrench" you'll see the Ironworker spud wrench and then what looks like a pipe wrench with smooth jaws and also an internal type of pipe wrench plus a few others too.
