Restoration by Alabama Creeks
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2020
I have been restoring stuff for years but never bothered to make a video. On July 19, 2020 I launched a channel exclusively for my restoration videos. Most of these videos are “silent movies” which I think may have greater appeal to international viewers. However, I insert English captions that give basic information.
I try to restore with the "patina" left on while doing all I can to slow down the aging process on any given item. However, the restoration of the Embury Lantern demanded a new coat of paint. I continue to grow as an craftsman and creator and this is reflected in the amount of tools I purchase. That would be tools that need to be restored plus tools to help me do a better job of restoring plus tools to help me create better content.
On October 8, 2022 I became a TH-cam Partner. On this date I had 39 videos with nearly 91,000 views. Thank you for watching, subscribe and interacting. I am truly grateful.

Thank you. Good results. God bless.
Curious to ask how one replaces the clip and eyelet parts on these sheers? Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
Superbe mon ami, merci pour le partage.
I have a few Craftsman plasitc handles that had that smelly white mold on them. I figured if its mold, i should put something on them that gets rid of mold. I sprayed them with Tilex and used my finger nail brush very lightly and all was gone. I'm not intereted in polishing the handles as they are never going to look like new and they are only screw drivers. It will be interesting to see how long the mold stays off.
The EASIEST way EVER to clean the white stinky fuzoff the handles is with muriatic acid. Hold the screwdriver by the shaft and use a cheapo paint brush and just paint the handle with the acid. It comes of IMMEDIATELY. Rinse and dry them.
Great save! Videos like this are awesome. Happy belated birthday too!
@@johnnymcnally2113 thank you Johnny!
Nice clean up of a beautiful old fan. I have the exact fan that i picked up a few days ago to restore. Can you post a link for the slow speed resistor that you put in? Mine is shot.

I found one in my dad's toolbox and had no idea, what it was. Thanks for the video
Beautiful
Would you do this to long term stabilize
Sorry to report that my experiment failed. It took several months but the stink came back. They have started getting a bit hazy looking as well. Don’t think there is a long term solution.
My wife just picked up a plastic match safe, WWII vintage, with compass. She cleaned up the yellowing plastic. It still has the whiff of the cellulose acetate Craftsman handles. This has a bit of nostalgia to it. It brings back the feeling of opening my father's toolbox back in the 60's. Appreciate your video. I'll dig out those screwdrivers and give it a try.

@@timshirah4326 some folks have commented that an ammonia bath removes the haze. I appreciate your comment.
My Papaw gave me this ratchet and I have used it professionally for 14 years. Mine is a lot prettier than the one in the video because it’s been used regularly.
I had quite a few screwdrivers grow mold on them while watching this presentation.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Just soak your moldy stinky screwdriver handles in clear ammonia - overnight as sufficient if it's not extreme. The growth gets on there when the handles are subjected to extreme heat and locked up in the toolbox. it doesn't seem to grow on there if you keep them out in the air or in an air conditioned environment. Ammonia is available at Walmart for less than $2 for half a gallon. IT WORKS!!!
Put them in a drawer & not your drawers, Don't use on job that might well have rectum'. Gear oil is not that sort of lube. Then, zip tie a pine tree air freshener on it.
I often polish my screw driver aswell. I often focus on the tip. It leaves me exhausted but i sleep well
We do not have this problem in the UK because our screwdriver handles are not made of CAB, instead a form of PET is used, the same polymer that is used for carbonated drinks bottles. The smell is due to Butyric Acid which is one of the break down products of CAB, it is also what gives American chocolate its distinctive taste/smell which is foul to the UK/European Palate, that leads to America chocolate failing to sell over here.
I just want to know how to replace the blade
I have stinky screw & nut drivers. Didn't know there was a fix. Thank you.
Just an observation: once you've gone through all the trouble to buff and clean the screwdriver shaft, removing rust with a wire wheel and hand sanding, why not extend the clear coat to the shaft? At the very least, it would retard the return of rust - which itself is smelly, albeit different from the acetate decomposition. Ammonia, of course, dissolves the oxidized acetate so it can be toothbrushed off (don't return the brush to the bathroom sink afterwards . . .) But the polishing, while nice, seems superfluous if the handle's irregularities are going to be leveled off with a clear coat. Interesting video - thanks for the hint.
Stink?? I never worried about how a screw driver smelled,only how they functioned.
**VIEWERS**Do yourself a favor and change the playback speed to 1.25 of normal. The faster playback speed will make this video way more pleasant to watch. The host is kind of a slow talker with lots of pauses that make it practically unwatchable at normal speed.

You dropped this👑
OK guys, I may have stumbled on the best fix of all. I have seen all the YT videos on this fix or that fix, but nothing seems to compare with what I found. I wish I could attach a photo but can't. I have Craftsman screwdrivers that are upwards of 50 years old. As you know, the older ones get what was described as the "mange". We learn that the mange is caused by a bacteria that feeds off the decaying cellulose in the plastic screwdriver handles. I tried CLR overnight and it softened the mange so I could wire brush and wipe it clean but required some effort. While doing this, I saw a bottle of Wet & Forget on my shelf and decided to give it a try. It is designed to kill algae, mold, etc on housing, so I dunked a couple screwdrivers in full strength. Within 2 hours, all mange was complete gone except for a couple nooks and crannies. I'm not sure if the foul odor is gone, because there are other screwdrivers sitting there yet to be done. Wet & Forget is used once a year so will the screwdrivers last a year????
Only comment is that Wet and Forget is bloody expensive at $12/gallon, so if you're using it for the patio or deck, a little bit set aside is OK, but buying a $24 64 oz jug is a bit much just to clean screwdriver handles.
@@MrGsteele Thanks for this comment. That's the kind of situation where someone would buy the product, use the little, needed then return it for refund It will be important to check for a previously opened container.
Start watching at 6:47, unless you have a high tolerance for filler and digressions.
Yep about a minute and a half in I came here looking and you delivered. Thank you sir.
That is really cool. The detail with the sticker is icing on the cake!
Purple Power works great for cleaning these old screwdrivers.
I use Purple Power on them too. Takes the mange right off. But it does come back. So I might have to get some clear coat.
I try to keep some light oil.on all my tools. I will go as far as spraying them in the drawers I would rather have to run a rag over them than have rust start in. Normally the oil sinks to the tray over a few days. And I don't need to wipe them off. On the screwdrivers, I think this oil helps with a the smell and seals them from the air.
Ammonia removes the white coating when you dip the handles. Then clearcoat. Much easier!
I've lived in the arid Southwest all my life... There's no outgassing of plastics of any kind here. So I haven't the slightest idea how an acetate handle can smell bad or even get a little foggy.
Very much enjoyed this. Informative.
Found a proto 24oz usa made one with the original green hexagonal handle but it was trashed but got xrazy lucky and found some NOS proto green hex handles on ebay, 2 for 20 and ordered them and glass beaded the head and polished it up. Looks too good to use now, wish i woulda just out some other hickory handle on it not the rare ones. Also found a 24oz proto challenger, didnt go crazy with it, just sanded the handle coated it with lin seed oil and cleaned the head up
dont pour chemicals down the sink drain
My man and I came across one of these at a gas station close to the beach on our ride. I insisted we get it. Loving the video. If u wanna email me I'd like to know more. Then I can send you my restoration pics. Maybe compare note ❤

We all learned what Butyric acid smelled like in high school…..peeyoo..! That stuff prolly contributed to that very early plastic compound stench…! Thanks for your video
great job thank you..
That looks like the exact same toolbox of my dad's that I want to restore. My dad's was a bright red though. You are giving me inspiration sir! :)
Thank you Sir 🎉
Nice job!
From a first-time viewer's perspective, why did I (and everyone else) have to wait until 1/2 through this video to get to the meat? Next time just start with the meat, and do yourself, and the rest of us, a favor.
Sorry I wasted your precious time. Judging from the content you have created you certainly qualify as an experienced expert. Maybe one day I’ll create a perfect TH-cam video that pleases everyone.
Which liquid rust removal solution do you use?
EvapoRust is my go to.
Great job! It turned out really nice but I’m curious how you removed the old japanning from the body?
Good job . I love saving old tools. I get a little upset going into Cracker Barrel. Like seeing a good old fellow bama guy on here.
Holy crap! I never realized it was the plastic! Have old tools and figured it was cause tool box wasn’t used since the 1960’s. Everything stinks…
Yeah butyric acid is the same stuff in digestive tracts. That's why it smells like vomit.
Well done on the ratchet.👍👍
Thanks!
Any help with putting spring back in ? How did you put spring back? Thank you
I compressed the spring with twine. Once I got the pieces assembled I inserted an Exacto blade to cut/remove twine. This was just a seat of the pants method. I hate I didn’t video each step clearly. Hope this helps.
@@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks thank you for your response. I’ll see if I can work with that. 👍
