Awesome vid John and Thank You for the channel shoutout!!! I’m loving these Lennox brand screwdrivers I must say. I didn’t see the striking cap version, but you know I’m going back for them!!! Funny enough, I built my own table saw, similar to what you did. I’ll have to cover that in an upcoming vid. As for the punches, I own a few Chinese-made nail sets, and I think I only have a single Starrett made punch. Those Millers-Falls were nice!
This past summer I restored a full set of Proto punches that I found buried in my father-in-law's sold toolbox. Boy they look great when I got them done and they've been such a wonderful addition to my toolbox. I love the backyard engineering on that table saw it looks great.
WOW ScoutCrafter! I thought I was the only person in the world that made my own table saw? We have so much in common! I made mine 45 years ago when I was a teenager! It worked fine. Like you, I made a lot of projects with that homemade saw! This video brought back a lot of memories! Thanks.
You know Wayne by doing what we did it was easy to learn about pinching the blade, kickback, blade bind and tapered cuts... I think it was a good learning experience and it was a lot of fun making stuff on a budget! =) Thanks!!!!!!
I first seen him in 1968 or 69 at our state fair. Evil was the best hero of the time. My father made a table saw like you. He also made a sanding table for his old locomotive skill belt sander. He build custom cabinets and wood work back then. He made propellers out of wood way back when. If you had the will you would find a way to make it work. He also sharpened his saw blades and router bits. He did his shaper bits too. He was a master wood worker and mill rite. From his will I do my own jointer setting. Thank you
Hello Robert! Wow! I am so happy to hear that! Sometimes when I am making a video a voice inside my head says "Nobody is going to care about this" of "That is just stupid" but something just pushes me thru and I am always grateful that someone might get something out of a particular segment or video! The fact that you let me know that really makes my day! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoyed you showing us your saw. It brought back memories of the times over the years that I couldn't buy what I wanted. So i built what I needed cheaper . Thanks
Hi Jesse! I think my Dad bought that saw new in the 70's and used it to do some projects around the house however he wasn't to crazy about home repair and it was near mint when I got it! =) Thanks!
Really nice video. Beautiful job on the punches. I've got a Bosch job site table saw that when I want to use I set up my old Black and Decker Workmate, clamp on a piece of plywood, and then carry the saw from a shelf to the driveway ( no room to work in my garage) and cut wood to my hearts content. You table saw base gives me some ideas. Thanks Jim
I have a whole box of nail sets, don't know where I got them though I've reground several as center punches. I've been working on my metal shaper for the last couple of weeks and your tool restoring tips have really come in handy for making some of the parts look new. Many of the slotted screws had been mangled and the trick of using a small hammer to tap them back into shape has been a lifesaver. Thanks so much for all your tips and videos!
Hi George! You sound like you are having a great time in the shop! That is awesome! It's funny but for years you couldn't give away a metal shaper and now they are making a resurgence! I think Adam has something to do with that! =)
Very likely Abomb79 has had a big influence on shaper prices as well as vises and anvils. 😀 I got my shaper about a year before he did but I haven't been able to use it because the PO had it apart and put it back together wrong. Hence the rebuild and I thought I'd use some of your great techniques to make it pretty as well as work!
Enjoyed the video, the punches turned out nice. Keeping your punches in a plastic container is a great idea. Would like to see a tour of your basement. Looks like you've got alot of really cool items.
Hi Jason! Hopefully it will be coming soon as I am trying hard to clean up!

Your table saw was the mark two version. Before hand circular saws were cheap enough, you had arbours pulleys and a motor. The saw blade was mounted on an arbour fitted under the wooden top and driven by a motor. Then Black and decker came on the market in the UK with their affordable drill, with attachments and circular saws. Before black and decker making holes you are either had a hand brace for wood, and for walls we had a rawl plug tool that was a hexagonal steel handle that you fitted chisel bits in, you tapped and turned, tapped and turned until the hole was deep enough and then you would use a hollow fibre plug for the screw as plastic screw plugs were not invented yet.
Hi Tony! Yes! Tucked away I have an old cast iron early table saw that was bench mounted and had the motor, arbors and tensioners under a cast table. The top was a little small but stout!!! =) Thanks!!!!!
The tool section is about the only thing I look at at Lowes. Cheryl hits the garden section! Project Farm is running tests on blades and such and the Irwin stuff does really well. And when he family left Sarasota I ended up with her dads old table saw, which I found out on Keith Rucker's 'Vintage Machinery.org' that it's an 8-inch Craftsman bench saw. It has the original motor and the original belt even, and table extensions and is mounted to a wheeled stand. And I use carbide blades in everything except the punches which are mainly drifts. Thanks CS and have a FINE weekend!
Hi Lewie! Probably the biggest game changer for my woodworking was a carbide tipped saw blade.! Best investment ever! You remember the old blades!!! 😂😂😂
I like looking at Lowes. We go there for home improvement projects. With Menards., Home Depot, Lowes, and Carter Lumber all within 12 miles I make the rounds. 😆
@@OldSneelock Lowes is 22 miles from here. The high priced private place is 10. The concrete plant yard is 10. That's why I only end up at Lowes is when I go to town which I try not to do. I save money every time I go by there!!! But I've got a trip coming I've put off about as long as I can. I keep saying this week for about a month now so maybe next week.
@@lewiemcneely9143 Lowes took all the things wrong with Home Depot and fixed them!!! In my area Lowes is a wonderful shopping experience where Home Depot is horrible!
Wow the stamping on those Miller's Falls punches are nice! I really like the look of the round cylindrical one to the far right. I have the Lenox high-tension hacksaw in those same colors. Somebody once mailed Mr. Pete that same hacksaw as a gift, and he had a rant about USPS handing him a busted package!
Oh the days of knowing Evil was gong to jump soon and tuning on to watch on live TV! The grips onthose screwdrivers almost look like they could have been motorcycle handgrips as well LOL! I grew up with my Dad having a table saw made using a washing machine motor. My grandfather had laundromats and so there was always a surplus of motors. In fact my bench grinder, one wood lathe, one of my jointers, and one of my bandsaws still use those old washing machine motors. Thanks for another great vid John!
Hi Virginia! To be honest you don't need so many but they do follow me home! LOL There are punches, nail-sets, pin punches, hollow punches and Punches pilot... =D
When money is tight it is amazing what you can still accomplish if you have the perseverance. Love the table saw demo. As far as punches go, I cannot resist them. I see one at garage sales and have to buy it. Maybe it is the variety of knurling. Anyway, good video and thanks.
Man as soon as I seen them screwdrivers I thought about all the jumps he made. My biggest idol when I was a kid. I remember when he got hurt real bad jumping the fountains in Vegas.
Best set of screwdrivers i ever got i got on Black Friday at Home Depot, it’s a 6 pc set of Milwaukee screwdrivers, the ergonomics are great and the tips just fit so well it’s hard to strip a screw, even when you’re in a tight spot and you have to put a wrench on the shaft, I just love them, great video
Lydia wanted a rose arbor. Our friends wanted to get married in our backyard. With nomoney and few tools I made a tablesaw very similar to yours. I cut up a set of side panels that came with my truck to make the lattis work. The frame was pallet wood. The wedding went well. That was 30+ years ago and as of 5 years ago the arbor was still there. When all else fails improvise!😆😎
You know Dave, in a world of excess and extremes my favorite memories always revolve around the opposite. Backyard weddings are still my favorite by far and I prefer a picnic to a fancy restaurant. I look at some TH-cam channels and see top of the line everything!! Shops that cost thousands and thousands of dollars... I think "How can they afford such extravagance?" I'm frugal and because of that I can sleep at night not owing the bank a years salary! =) Thanks Dave!!!!!!!!
Great video ScoutCrafter! I like the hand built table saw. There are quite a few tutorials on You Tube about making a table saw just like that. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hey look!! You built a cheap, yet functional, very sturdy table saw without guards etc, 30 years or so, ago. Awesome. I also noticed, you have full digits on both hands. Haha. Beautiful punches. Only brass hammer after that resto! Cheers
Yes! The shame of it is much of the "Safety Equipment" on power tools are there for insurance reasons and they often lead to more problems then if they weren't there in the first place! Thanks!
Great one Scout! The hollow tip punches are the best for mails indeed, I keep mine in a drawer from my toolbox, but I don't have as many as you. I got an old Craftsman no. 4 plane today, and I'm happy as a clamp with that. LOL
Hi Allan! I bought one of those table top saws years back and it is super loud and made so cheaply. It's great for a job where you are in a pinch and are cutting paneling or something but they feel so inadequate! Thanks!!!!!!
Wow. I thought I had a lot of punches because I've got about 8 of them. Great video. I had the misfortune of meeting and getting to know Evel during the early eighties. He was not a cool guy. It would have been better if I just remembered him as the motorcycle hero he was to me in the 70s. But you're right. Those screwdrivers TOTALLY look like something he could've branded.
I tell ya, my father had a very similar table saw, with the fold down handles. He used the wheels off an old fashioned roller skate and he used that thing for decades. He hid the seams in the sheetrock of the ceiling in the living room by taking 2 x 4s and making them resemble a beam that went from one side of the room to the other and then he beat them with chains to stuff them up and then varnished them to look rough hewn. It was like a Swiss chalet, that living room. He made fake rocks out of plaster to accent the brick fireplace and he fake rocks were all odd sized and colored and he made it look like they were set in cement with the round faces protruding into the room. The mantle of the fireplace also have the fake beams made out of 2 X 4s and made to look really thick and hefty. Above the fireplace he had a gigantic penny that was painted to look like copper and around it were colonial art works in raught iron and on the mantle were porcelain statues of the founding fathers and of course a 4 foot tall bottle of yellow Galliano liqueur and Swiss guard statues that were actually liquor decanters. I still have them.
Joe, your father sounds like quite the craftsman! Back in the 70's those faux beams were really popular! Nobody wanted a plain white ceiling and they sold styrofoam "U" shaped beams that had self stick tape along the edge and could be stuck to the ceiling! They were usually dark brown and "Weathered"! =) Awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!
I made the same type of tablesaw 50 years ago, but mine was quite a bit smaller and I didn't have carbide blades. But it did the job until I could afford a real tablesaw.
I live in a condo no space for shop but want to take on small projects even some woodworking nothing big your videos are like this old house worth watching you learn how to do things right
Good video! The table saw build was great. I love the basement workshop. You're as bad as me! We are going to be in trouble if we ever move! The wife and I have been collecting stuff for years!
My favourite punches have the square ends as I can guarantee that a round one will roll off the bench then roll under the most inaccessible place so I will spend 10 minutes on my hands an knees. I agree with a previous comment of yours that a good centre punch is worth its weight in gold for starting a hole in metal otherwise you can watch the drill bit skate around. Really enjoyed today's video.
Hi Tony! You are so right! I almost lost two of the punches as they were rolling just like you said words the end of the bench where the abyss lies below!!!!
knievel was from the days when they didnt have computers to both work out ramps and landing and jump speeds, you had to do it the hard way, and thus who knows what could drive someone to try it, crash, get hurt badly, and come back and do it again, now its still dangerous of course but it looks too easy when its done, they land like its a feather bed!, he came to England in the 70s and did a huge show, i saw it on TV at the time and still remember it
Jusb1066 - You are spot on, the guy was jumping his heavy bike over double decker busses with grit and determination. Not to mention his larger then life personality.., I always appreciated his "Don't do drugs" message...
Those screwdrivers do scream out buy me! We use lenox recip. saw blades in the F.D. to cut roofs off autos. Excellent blades, but yeah, red white and blue just jumps out at you. Really great table saw. Thanks for sharing with us! Forty dollars, can't beat it.
Hi Mike! I always wanted the Lenox High Tension Hacksaw they make! It is super heavy duty and looks awesome! I got the latest Lenox jigsaw blades from watching a Keith Fenner video, he had a link to their website where they were giving away samples! Free stuff = Awesome! LOL
Good stuff, I personally like to use a hand wire brush (old school), on knurling, it seems to work better,, it just takes longer, but is very satisfying,,, ! Cheers,, John ,
I think almost every tool brand has rebranded that set. I got a Stanley Set from Walmart about a year ago for $6. I liked them so much I went back and got another set for work. They have withstood an amazing amount of abuse
Brings back memories of my Evil Kenivel Stunt Cycle back in the day.....man we tortured that poor guy for years....he got thrown on top of a street lamp...and that's all he wrote :] :]....before the time of video games this was our entertainment :]
Jusb1066 LOL!! The funny thing is most people look for pristine punches and I'm the only knucklehead who gets a kick out of restoring buggered up punches! 😃👍
I know Lennox is owned by Stanley Black and Decker but I have some demolition Stanley Screwdrivers and they are very good. I think those Lennox ones take some influence from them.
It seems all the stuff coming from China these days are similar but branded different... I am looking forward to when the US starts making stuff again!!!!!!! =)
First time seeing this video. Don’t know how I missed it. I love your homemade table saw. It’s probably better than the one I got at Home Depot for big bucks. I know you’re about as experienced as a guy can get, but I cringed when I saw you didn’t use a push tool when ripping wood. I told you about my nearly severed thumb from a bandsaw accident, and I really don’t want to see you hurt. It sucks. Trust me. I thought I knew what I was doing too.
John- I always use a push stick when getting close to the blade... I used to spend a ton of time on my other table saw and always super careful. Believe it or not the Radial Arm saw to me is one of the most dangerous tools in the shop!
@@ScoutCrafter My favorite is Proto and second would be Craftsman. Also like Bonney, Utica, New Britain,yada,yada.yada. I have over 400 P&C brand tools, but I don't collect them ? Just picked up 4 Plomb tools.
Not sure if I'm the first to suggest this: Have you ever considered making your own punches on your metal lathe? I'm not an expert of this by any means and not sure of the metals used etc. I can visualize a set of "ScoutCrafter punches). I'm sure you can create a nice set with your talents. Just a thought....Tony

Above the fireplace he had a gigantic penny that was painted to look like copper and around it were colonial art works in raught iron and on the mantle were porcelain statues of the founding fathers and of course a 4 foot tall bottle of yellow Galliano liqueur and Swiss guard statues that were actually liquor decanters. I still have them.
Joe, your father sounds like quite the craftsman! Back in the 70's those faux beams were really popular! Nobody wanted a plain white ceiling and they sold styrofoam "U" shaped beams that had self stick tape along the edge and could be stuck to the ceiling! They were usually dark brown and "Weathered"! =) Awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully your next tool cave has a spray booth, I’d love to see you restore larger tools. As always thanks for your entertaining videos
Hi Clive! Yes!!! A spray booth!!!! How wonderful is that! And a grinding, buffing booth! =) Thanks!!!!!!!
How old and good circular saw and table...wow...awesome...and funny sound of table saw handle like a...like a....you know...LOL
Thanks, Scout. I'm sitting here watching your video, and now I'm getting up and about to go to Lowe's for that set ;P
Cool table saw!
Evel Knievel was awesome! Video made me smile 😁, keep it up!
That was like Mish Mash Monday on Friday.......I love punches too and Evel Knievel was the greatest......cheers mate.
Hi Darrin!!! EK was the real deal!!! Thanks so much!!!!
I made the same type of tablesaw 50 years ago, but mine was quite a bit smaller and I didn't have carbide blades. But it did the job until I could afford a real tablesaw.
Hi Robert! Carbide tipped blades totally changed my woodworking experience!!! Thanks!!
I live in a condo no space for shop but want to take on small projects even some woodworking nothing big your videos are like this old house worth watching you learn how to do things right
Keneivel was my hero. That table saw was really cool.
upside downdog EK was the real deal!!! 😃👍
Good video! The table saw build was great. I love the basement workshop. You're as bad as me! We are going to be in trouble if we ever move! The wife and I have been collecting stuff for years!
I am dreading the move but looking forward to space again! Imagine having to leave behind so much stuff!
Dead blow brass tipped hammer works nice too.
My favourite punches have the square ends as I can guarantee that a round one will roll off the bench then roll under the most inaccessible place so I will spend 10 minutes on my hands an knees. I agree with a previous comment of yours that a good centre punch is worth its weight in gold for starting a hole in metal otherwise you can watch the drill bit skate around. Really enjoyed today's video.
Hi Tony! You are so right! I almost lost two of the punches as they were rolling just like you said words the end of the bench where the abyss lies below!!!!
I have that same Stanley 16ft. Leverlock, no. 30-516. Bought it in the early eighty's.
lwoodt1 Lou- I have a pretty big collection of tape measures and that one is my favorite!!! 😃👍
great looking screwdrivers I have some that are red and white with maple leafs on it
I guess the White isn't great for keeping clean but they sure are pretty! =)
knievel was from the days when they didnt have computers to both work out ramps and landing and jump speeds, you had to do it the hard way, and thus who knows what could drive someone to try it, crash, get hurt badly, and come back and do it again, now its still dangerous of course but it looks too easy when its done, they land like its a feather bed!, he came to England in the 70s and did a huge show, i saw it on TV at the time and still remember it
Jusb1066 - You are spot on, the guy was jumping his heavy bike over double decker busses with grit and determination. Not to mention his larger then life personality.., I always appreciated his "Don't do drugs" message...
Those screwdrivers do scream out buy me! We use lenox recip. saw blades in the F.D. to cut roofs off autos. Excellent blades, but yeah, red white and blue just jumps out at you. Really great table saw. Thanks for sharing with us! Forty dollars, can't beat it.
Hi Mike! I always wanted the Lenox High Tension Hacksaw they make! It is super heavy duty and looks awesome! I got the latest Lenox jigsaw blades from watching a Keith Fenner video, he had a link to their website where they were giving away samples! Free stuff = Awesome! LOL
@@ScoutCrafter Cool,thanks for the heads up!
Love the screwdrivers - need to get me a set of Evil Knieval screwdrivers..lol.
Hi Spike! Apparently they aren't new, just new to me! LOL I really like them!
Good stuff, I personally like to use a hand wire brush (old school), on knurling, it seems to work better,, it just takes longer, but is very satisfying,,, !
Cheers,, John ,
John Waddington - I too enjoy hand wire brushing! I have some nice brushes also... Thanks!
Good common sense is the name of the game. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyable video ! I'm lucky as I have my dad's brass hammer when he was doing his national service ( military service) uk
That is awesome! Brass hammers aren't cheap! Same with copper... However a brass hammer will save all your striking tools over time! Thanks!!!!!!!
You are amazing
I think almost every tool brand has rebranded that set. I got a Stanley Set from Walmart about a year ago for $6. I liked them so much I went back and got another set for work. They have withstood an amazing amount of abuse
Hi Brad! The colors got me at first but they really are super comfortable! Thanks!!!!!!
Definitely. Lenox is a great brand. I love their hole saws too
Hahaha this was very awesome scout I love the colors on the screwdrivers as well. "Are you going to get those oh yeah" lol this was to good :p
Lord Venger 😃. If I see the other set I will get those also! Lol. Thanks
@@ScoutCrafter Haha awesome stuff you're welcome scout :D
Funny you mentioned Jim Kirk. In fact mr. Scott was my favorite futuristic tool guy
When I was growing up and met some adversity I would just think "What would Kirk do?" LOL
Seems to me it still a good way to check your cuts on any saw, cheers!
Larry You are so right! I never really trust a quick set fence on critical cuts.
Happy there's a new vid :)
Birch plywood. Interesting
Thanks great video and nail sets and punches have not changed over the years there hurted date their age
Hi Willy! They made so many different models and some were really ornate and beautiful!!!
Brings back memories of my Evil Kenivel Stunt Cycle back in the day.....man we tortured that poor guy for years....he got thrown on top of a street lamp...and that's all he wrote :] :]....before the time of video games this was our entertainment :]
Dirt and Rust - that stunt cycle was awesome! Worked great! Like Evil, you never knew if it was going to make it!!! 😃👍
Its easy now to have a great Weekend !!! Thanks !!!
Evel Knievel 1938 - 2007
He broke every bone in his body.A true dare devil.
Legend...
They have a 12 point program for people like you! Lol! All kidding aside, I hear ya brother, you can never have enough tools!
Dominic! I go to a 12 point program every two months! It turned into a swap meet!!!! LOL
ScoutCrafter Lol
We call those a nailset, especially the cupped ones!
Yes! The cupped ones are so handy and harder to find at shows! Thanks!
Watched Evel Knievel jump many times on TV as a kid and later on I got to see his son Robbie jump in person once.
Robbie was a much better rider then Evel, however nobody had the courage of Evel... The guy was true legend... =) They restored his truck! Awesome!
Lenox makes some great screwdrivers
These are just so nice looking! I might need another hole in my head too!
Put the ruler on the opposite side of the blade (between fence and blade) for true cutting dimension.
09/13/2022 just watched this video. I now have a new project, I am going to build my table saw!
Super presentation. What grit do you use on your belt sander when cleaning the punches up. Thanks!
Hi Chris! I was using a worn out 320 belt.. It was just enough to get rid of the patina and not leave scratches. Thanks!!!!!
Home Depot or Lowes? That is the question. I'm Home Depot all the way but now that Lowes carries Craftsman I can make myself go there.
im sure in the area where you live, all the yardsales have run out of punches because scoutcrafter has been there!
Jusb1066 LOL!! The funny thing is most people look for pristine punches and I'm the only knucklehead who gets a kick out of restoring buggered up punches! 😃👍
The screwdrivers scream Evil Knievel. I miss his "devil may care" attitude about everything.
ETN!!!!! He was one of a kind and growing up seeing him jumping that Harley over busses and trucks was just amazing!!!!
Nice..
I gotta question scout can you over grease tools when your restoring them ? I’ve seen a lot of the videos use just a small amount of grease or oil
omg,,,im on my way to lowes👍👍
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I know Lennox is owned by Stanley Black and Decker but I have some demolition Stanley Screwdrivers and they are very good. I think those Lennox ones take some influence from them.
It seems all the stuff coming from China these days are similar but branded different... I am looking forward to when the US starts making stuff again!!!!!!! =)
First time seeing this video. Don’t know how I missed it. I love your homemade table saw. It’s probably better than the one I got at Home Depot for big bucks. I know you’re about as experienced as a guy can get, but I cringed when I saw you didn’t use a push tool when ripping wood. I told you about my nearly severed thumb from a bandsaw accident, and I really don’t want to see you hurt. It sucks. Trust me. I thought I knew what I was doing too.
John- I always use a push stick when getting close to the blade... I used to spend a ton of time on my other table saw and always super careful. Believe it or not the Radial Arm saw to me is one of the most dangerous tools in the shop!
Speaking of Lowe’s. What is everyone’s thoughts on Kobalt vs Craftsman hand tools?
Hi Tony!!! I filmed a segment for Mish Mosh Monday on the Craftsman ratchet!
I have a question. What grit belts do you think are most useful for tool restoration. Thanks in advance.
I usually have a mix of belts as some are for heavy rust removal and some are for fine work. I have found 220 to be a great all-round belt!!!!
Would you say that there is a difference between a nail set and a punch? I always thought of the hollow ends as a nail set.
Absolutely right, I just keep them all together... Nails with a dimple are set with a punch! LOL
Millers Falls tools. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
If I could only collect tools from ONE company it would be either Millers Falls or Craftsman! =) So many tools from each company are awesome!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter My favorite is Proto and second would be Craftsman. Also like Bonney, Utica, New Britain,yada,yada.yada. I have over 400 P&C brand tools, but I don't collect them ? Just picked up 4 Plomb tools.
Not sure if I'm the first to suggest this: Have you ever considered making your own punches on your metal lathe? I'm not an expert of this by any means and not sure of the metals used etc. I can visualize a set of "ScoutCrafter punches). I'm sure you can create a nice set with your talents. Just a thought....Tony
