I've bought the same boxes over the yrs . Sorted n sorted n sorted . Did same thing after my father passed away sorted n sorted u name it nuts bolts snap rings washers etc only to find them all missing from the nice neat boxes I had spent hrs putting them n . Yep did all that work so a family member could walk up n help themselves to it . Family don't u love them . Sooooooo sweet n kind .
This kind of thing makes me crazy! I have plenty of nails, screws, nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc. They are all in those wall hanging drawer organizers, labeled Two words, downsize and organize!!!
Just went through my wife mother estate that had stuff from her grandparents . Original stuff from England with there names carved into them along with a old trunk that was a real trunk . Just stuff you can't get anymore .
Junk drawer I've got a whole junk Barn now I kind of know where stuff is if I only remember. That's why I do try and label things LOL mostly motorcycle parts but I always tell people come over here before you go to the hardware store..... And take what you need
The little tool kit was called Handy Andy. A person could really use them. Nowadays they would call the set a danger to children and would be made out of plastic from China.
Sad, but true. Used to be if a kid had one of those tool sets, and an old peach crate or apple box, it would be busy for days, and learn valuable lessons, and skills. Now they get some electronic gizmo and turn into vegetables.
One of the few items I have from my great grandfather is a large shallow toolbox that probably weighs over 50 lbs. It is full of nuts, bolts, washers, fasteners and everything of that nature. I guess when he dismantled stuff he threw the tiny pieces in that toolbox. It has pulled me out of a few situations I was stuck in.
I did find the screws I needed, in a box of junk I inherited from my dad, which included stuff that he inherited from my grandparents, good junk spans many generations.
Was it one of those light blue hammered ones or the red ones too. Put the tools in there and you could hardly get it off the ground. It felt like it was magnetized to the earth. No wood handled tools they were all metal, steel? I guess so. Felt like iron. lol
One of my first winter projects after retierment was to sort and organize inherited junk. So glad I did. But then I inherited more. So I went back at it!
The hole is small, I suspect it was used on a ball type key chain, I may put my Chevy key on it just to class the vehicle up, a set of fuzzy dice for the mirror and I would be set. Maybe one of those old "Tiger in your tank" tiger tails to hook on the gas cap, my older brother used to have one on his old straight 8 Pontiac.
My Dad had a lawnmower service shop at the house that he worked in after his regular job as a saw building foreman. Lots of memories of going to estate sales in search of mower parts and he would usually just end up buying junk boxes and us boys were the pack mules getting them to the truck. Keep digging...You will find some wood screws!
Im still sorting huge pickle bottles full of misc hardware been sorting every other day for a couple hours. What kills me is I can picture the part I need but im so organized i cant find it...
I have a 1952 terry camp trailer that uses those screw in glass fuses. I blew one once and went several places to buy some, nobody knew what I was talking about. I finally found some in a fuse box in an abandoned house.
Sucrets was the box to have...paint can opener is handy! I used to sort my dad's, our garage's stuff, baby food jars all over the place. And grandpa's and some may have come from an auction. Dad always seemed to need assistance sorting.
Like a tour through the basement at the family house, or my garage now. These hunts never fail to find cool distracting stuff, but rarely what I'm after at the time. I'll typically find that looking for something else, quite some time afterwards.
My dad used to keep his blend of pipe tobacco in a herring jar like that. He mixed a couple brands together and then offloaded some into the foil pouches from the jar. I never knew it was a herring jar, the lid was not readable.
sometimes them mystery boxes from the auction were great finds , as long as the price was good . never go to a auction in oil country , some them assholes have money to burn and will bid double what its worth new . great vid , thanks
@@crawwwfishh3284 I am 6 and a half feet tall...I would not be a specialist at tools for getting something off the top shelf. I would be who someone would ask to grab the can!🤣
Now this is what I'm talking about!!! This is the kind of stuff that sets Logcabinlooms apart from all the rest!! Loved the video! Thank you Sir

No politics no doom saying. Refreshing and wonderful

Enjoyed it. Much better than the state of the world reports. Thx.
Cleaned out our woodshed, came across bicycle parts and go kart parts from mid 70s, remembered each item like an old friend
Thanks, reminded me of decades of 'stuff' I collected and sorted (?) that I lost in the Caldor Fire a year ago. Funny I hadn't missed them until now.

Great video sir. Brings back many memories from my childhood. Thanks for sharing

Yup I have way too many of those jars and boxes too. Overwhelming when you don't need it. But a lifesaver when you do.
The dice is a valve stem cap for bike/motorcycle tires

Now this is my type of people youtube has been keeping this gem from me.
I always end up buying hardware for projects, I can never remember what I have or where it’s hiding.
me too.......
Glad I'm not the only one😆
It's fun to look through old junk boxes like that. Haven't seen that 600 ohm TV antenna wire in a ton of years lol.
Handy Andy tool set I had one when I was a kid
I thought for sure the location of where Hoffa is, or maybe D.B Cooper’s real identity was in that box along with everything else.
After the Book of Mormon turned up, I was in hopes of the original Joseph Smith gold pages, I always wondered what became of them.

By the time my dad was my age, he had 30 coffee cans full of rusty bent nails, and we were forces to use them.

Damn brother. Them some old jars 😂

funny how it is junk until you to through it and you say oh I been looking for this or that hey I need this oh this is a...and so on 🤣
Please make a video of that small town stuff book
I’ve purchased many junk boxes from the local flea market. Inside the last one I got was a old Connecticut pattern axe head, Collins brand.
Good useful junk unlike our junk in our in our capital.
My dad used to keep his blend of pipe tobacco in a herring jar like that. He mixed a couple brands together and then offloaded some into the foil pouches from the jar. I never knew it was a herring jar, the lid was not readable.
I was curios. How do you get your water with no power
That was fun, I like looking through junk boxes... sorry, treasure's!
Holy smokes looms, are you one of those hoarder types. Get rid of that junk. All you need are lederhosen and miller high life - lots of it.😏
I could use that soldering iron big time, how cool!!😏👍
THATS SUM KOOL STUFF!
ID LOVE TO COME DIG THROUGH ALL THAT AND SEE WHAT NEAT STUFF I COULD FIND.
sometimes them mystery boxes from the auction were great finds , as long as the price was good . never go to a auction in oil country , some them assholes have money to burn and will bid double what its worth new . great vid , thanks
Those boxes generally used to go for a dollar, now they often start at $5, tell me there's not inflation.
What was them tongs used for.
Appear to be log turners...One piece of a stove/fireplace tool set...
This seems to lightly made for logs, I suspect it was for grabbing things like cans off high shelves.
@@logcabinlooms Thanks. Take care.
@@waynetharp They look to small for logs. Mr loom was saying they were used for grabbing cans. Sounds right.
@@crawwwfishh3284 I am 6 and a half feet tall...I would not be a specialist at tools for getting something off the top shelf. I would be who someone would ask to grab the can!🤣
This makes me want to look in my " junk drawer " and see what I can find. I imagine it won't be long before you'll need a FFL to buy a staple gun.
Lol gawd I wish that didn’t have such truth to it.
WANNA SELL THAT FISHING REEL?
