Back in Action! Awesome! What a haul with top shelf tools! Fantastic finds!! And a great restrotation! Glad your back to doing what you love.. take it slow and don't over do it trying to play catch-up 😊
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...🖖
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.
@@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.
Great tools and some amazing videos to come I hope Thanks for sharing your time John 🥃🥃👍👍🇬🇧
Nice treasure,sir...
Nice work dude.
Great finds and left handed restoration!

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.
Great finds Mr John! That old homemade voltmeter is awesome! Very nice restoration sir!

Good stuff! That level is going to look awesome all shined up!
Nice haul! If you can’t work on tools , go out and buy them! 😁. The voltmeter looks great, like the red. Thanks
Once again, fantastic job, Mr. John
Nice video.
Fantastic Mr. John! An awesome haul and a great restoration. Good to see you back to it! You got plenty there to keep ya busy.. Take it slow though.
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! 😃👍
