RE: Flattened milk cartons. When that advice was written, milk cartons were made out of waxed cardboard. The wax acted as a lubricant and also was unlikely to leave a noticeable trace of residue on waxed floors.
SSgtBaloo
wax sticks. But I think your second point is quite clever.
Plus, paper is made from wood and wood will scratch a finish on floors.
That's just what I was thinking
That's what I though
Ended up using egg cartons in the video tip says milk cartons not egg
When I first moved from home, my Dad gave me a book like this, I've used the ideas in the book for years, It's my Bible. Back in the forties and fifties, my Dad could fix anything. He was a true handyman.
Very smart and thoughtful man.
I still have every DIY, “handy tips” books I’ve ever gotten-or that my parents ever had! One is my bible, as well.
When the electricity goes off, it’s pretty nice to have this kind of book around. When you google something, you can get overloaded with conflicting information-or just too much info.
Went to Lowe's Straight after watching this to get the elbow spring, 4 years this door has frustrated me.... No longer.
🤣🤣😂 funny!
Why didn't u just get a door stop?
@@reesecollins482 I think there are a couple of reasons why, in my eyes. Number 1 being it cost more than that little piece of hardware. Number 2, it's out of the way. Number 3, you don't have to move it this way or that way. Number 4, it's not a danger, like a doorstop.
I think any one of those 4 reasons is a good reason why not to use a doorstop.😉
For ghosting doors take out the hinge pin and bend it just slightly, then hammer it back in. Friction will hold the door in any position.
@pjd412 Yeah pretty much it.
Its funny how all of these work but 5 minute crafts almost never works
true dat!
That channel is the father off clickbait
It's just like my uncle always says, when the red rivers flowing, take the dirt road hoam.
5 minute crafts just makes pretty videos to exploit the TH-cam algorithm for money. No interest in helping anyone but themselves.
quality over quantity
Lifehack 76: always carry a shovel when you leave your home so you can dig a makeshift fallout shelter if the Soviet Union decides to heat up the cold war.
Lifehack 111: and bring a mr.handyman with you too
Lifehack 82: Always bring drugs
Lifehack #112 Bring a nuke with you in case you go by North Korea
Bwahahahaha! Need to inform my wife THIS is the real reason I carry s shovel in my truck!
make a part 2
When I'm sewing...I keep a cake of soap near to keep the pins in..The soap, itself, will help the pin glide through the fabric better(esp thick denim)
@Wade Riedemann a bar of soap is also called a cake of soap.
Soap also comes in leaves.
I do the same thing for using nails while woodworking!
That's a great idea. Thank you for that tip.
Yes, a bar of ivory soap was in every tool box and sewing box when I was growing up.
@@cwahlb1 I was told that it helps reduce the wood from splitting
I honestly didn't expect it to have this many legitimately helpful tips.
“Use Milk Cartons”
My boi: Uses Egg Cartons
Haha, I immediately had to come see if I wasn't the only one
@The Monahan Estate Exactly, is the new insulting term of endearment.
@The Monahan Estate Good to know! It's also used as a term in the BDSM world for a submissive male.
And now you learned something new. :D
@@kit76149 We know, it's just funny~
I came here looking to see if anyone else noticed that
This is the first useful life hack video I've ever seen.
Charis Johnson old people are smart
You been offline for too long.
Same
You don't get out much?😂🤣🤣 just joking😉
First? Usless u only watched bright side or another bad channel no way that's the first and I'm guess when your saying first u mean good, and most of these are bad EX: me: having I party oh no I gt move stuff egg carntons
Others: are u dumb
BTW what u mean my milk its egg cartons?
That book is so cool. Just thinking about the way how people used to think and the needs they needed back then is oddly fascinating. We now need something to hold our phones up to watch videos but in the 60s you needed something to hold a flashlight up. Really cool.
People were more independent back then, they were more common sense handy man oriented. For every person that owns a cell phone now, someone back then was handed down this sort of knowledge :)
Most of this stuff is still relevant though...
You can still use most of them it’s not like they used to have couches and we don’t now 😶
Have you never needed a flashlight before?
3:04 no no no do not do this... there is a chemical reaction happening between the brass wool and the chemical product - you can even see the fumes in the video. Im not sure of the chemical specifics - but it could be harmful and you are contaminating the cleaning product
Thank you. I was checking to see if someone had mentioned this. Yes, the bleach will seriously corrode the brass to black (not sure if that was the same one he was trying to use in the tub) and will contaminate your bleach.
Not all fumes are harmful. But I know what you mean.
@@Redhunteur2 It might of been the same one that he used.
Yeaaa i kinda skip it .-.
Will steel wool not react? The book said to use steel wool but the guy just used brass because that's what he had on him.
I keep a cheap comb in my tool box, for small nails.
I put a tampon in my ass, for small leaks.
👍 that works well
@@bruhmoment9413 I'm sure you enjoy that.. Just watch for toxic shock syndrome
@@bettyh3747 ok buddy
Sometimes I really miss the old TH-cam

It seems like some Life Hacks never go out of fashion!
I would love to see some more please, maybe even a few that are totally not "Doable" any more for giggles.
Joe
Joe. There were quite a few that are no longer viable or doable... It might be fun to explore those as well so I have taken note! Thanks for the feedback.
HouseholdHacker I just want a reply because I've been a sub since 2 years ago it would mean a lot if you reply

@JCGamingX2 I've been a sub for 10 years (2007 or so, yeah) and don't give a shit about not being replied to :p

1:28 - "Using flattened milk cartons"
1:31- "I found some empty egg cartons"
I think anything that’s cardboard like is good enough
MrWolfSnack dude chill it’s not that big of a deal
Brass wool in the drain works to protect another item in the demonstration: YOUR WEDDING RING!
"Says to use milk cartons to move furniture" "Uses egg cartons instead"......
Genius
SkyalldaPlayzZ / / Gaming and Other stuff im pretty certain thats because the delivered milk bottles were in a carton of a similar material
Wouldn't work in Canada. Their milk is sold in bags.
Tempered Storm ... What the fuck
No you can get cartons in B.C.

3:28 bro your house is haunted
Probably... it's 100 years old.
HouseholdHacker
Can you bring back Scientific Tuesdays?
lol
Say "Fuck you ghosts, stop trying to spook me" with a 15 cent elbow spring.
The world is haunted by your low attention spam.
3:10 shows you how to avoid spilling
Still spills some in demonstration
This looks like the type of books my grandparents have that I would read as a child. 🥺♥️
Why did you use egg cartons when the book said milk cartons?
jay west
HouseHoldHacker
-2018-
Perhaps he didn't have any milk cartons. Also, the furniture feet would probably stay on the egg carton better anyway, and there wouldn't be a problem with wax residue getting on the floor. On the other hand, milk cartons would probably slide better on a carpeted surface. So, good to have an expanded view of things.
jay west no one has milk cartons
Nachoughue- Alex Canada
jay west because it is a carton both are cartons
Why do people dislike this genuinely helpful stuff?
4:01
Acting Levels: 100
This meme still haven'tdied out wow
did you even see 7:37 acting levels: 101
this guy should do infomercials
@@z4spitfire782 of course he would not hurt himself intentionally
Some of these are really interesting. I thought the elbow spring to keep doors from closing themself is very smart!
I’ll be checking the backs of dresser drawers from now on
Omg, my grandpa had that book! I read it all the time when I was bored at his house. I got so many memories from this video!
some of these hacks were everyday life growing up with my grands, aunts, and uncles, who were born before me, thanks for the run down memory lane. I will be trying more of the old ways again.
When I was growing up , here in the South, everyone called that particular style of can opener a church key ( a sarcastic play on words, since they were used to open so many beer cans).
I want to see more of that book, you stumbled uppon a thousand copy right free video ideas lol, unless they have a patent on using things like rubber bands as flashlight holders.
6:07 being older, I know of the steaming open letters one, but, it doesn't always work, sometimes you could hold a letter above a boiling kettle and do it gently but that's still a challenge as once the paper has been steamed in most ways it will warp and that's not so easy to hide!
This. THIS is what life hacks are supposed to be. Simple, easy to do, and practical.
the crushed milk cartons trick worked because they were waxed. wax paper on waxed floors = very slippery
I enjoyed this video.
Please make another
Roger that!
HouseholdHacker for real i really like this vid keep em comin
Me too
You can get another brain, oh wait it's not that your brain is not working, it's because you don't even use your brain.
Potatoe Johnson Yes! Another one, please! These were so cool.
I had a farmer's almanac from the 60s, and the trick with the nail and matchbook was in it too
After everything can't help coming back to watch all of these videos knowing there'll never be a new one, r.i.p
The suction cup one was HUGELY useful. I always have a lot of problems trying to use them to put christmas lights around our windows. They are constantly falling off. Not anymore though after this tip!
Nice video! Keep it up!
"It will allow u to use them as intended" *puts a staple gun on it*
All of those hacks are brilliant, simple and easy to do with minimal extra gear. I would love to see some more of them.
Great. I remember these and mor as I am 83. Great stuff in the old days. Everyone of these would have you buy something todat.
Wow! This video was wild, thanks for sharing with us!
1950's life hacks: "Put a bundle of steel wool in your funnel to prevent spillage of liquids when funneling to a different container"
2019's life hacks" "Smear toothpaste and cover with rice to remove cracks in your phone's display"
Ive been binging this channel for like 45 mins and cant stop its actually addictive
Excellent channel. Very useful ideas, no commercials and no silly accent. Really makes some everyday tasks a bit easier and more convenient.
8:23 "when the pay load is secure" hey man i hear your overwatch reference that aint passing by me
I use needle nosed plyers to hold my nails. Keeps me from hitting the wrong nail.
I've seen people on job sites putting nails in hair combs
@@timfagan816 ive seen people on job sites sitting around not doing nothing but draw a paycheck and fart
@@dont.ripfuller6587 playing the system. Good on them!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing!! I'll keep these in mind!
Please do make another video just like this.. Really helpful, not all modern problems require modern solutions. All we might need are some good old lifehacks
6:00 now I can open my report cards without my mom knowing
Did it work? Lol
Modern problems require old solutions
@Carrot Ferret actually, had we stayed with the old ways & morals, we'd not be such a terrible mess of wasted & polluted resources.
@Carrot Ferret , actually, if we'd stayed with the old ways & morals we'd not be faced with a world of wasted & polluted resources, to say nothing of the need some people have for unnecessary criticism.
Loved it. Will be using almost every one of them. More please! And thank you.
I love such "vintage" (or maybe antique?) hack ideas and looking forward to more. Thanks!
Don't use brass or steel wool to strain an acid.
Many household chemicals are acids. Even vinegar or wine will strip off some of the metal
Rules :
1. Old man never wrong
2. If the Old man wrong, back to number 1.
Love this, please make a part 2
Thanks! I loved the old life hacks. Please make another.
That book was definitely not found in a basement lmao
William Henson _For sure_
I hope you do that with the book about fifteen at a time. I miss those old remedies. Makes me miss my momma. I'm subscribed so I'll know when the next how to comes. Thanks and thanks for letting us see the pages. And BTW thanks for not using profanity. I'm everyday having too shut off a video because of abusive language. I appreciate you because of this most of all!
Sure thing! Glad you liked the video, we will definitely make some more like this!
Shut the fuck up
Jerry Stanley I'll pray for you. Thank you for letting me know you needed help. My pleasure to pray for those in need more than those who are not.

60 Year old hacks:
My brain: So from the 40s right?
Actually: Late 50s, early 60s
Yeah, I thought 60 year old hacks would be from the 1940's, too! It shows our age. But 60 years ago was only 1960.
Those were great! Thanks for sharing. And, please make another set of tips...
This was wonderful! A second video like this would be great.
Do a part 2😄
Do more of these!!!!!!
I don't usually EVER find myself reminiscing about 60 years ago for obvious reasons, but MAN it must have been nice to have "life hacks" that were ACTUALLY helpful.
This is pretty awesome!! I’d love to see more!
That first one is useless, just beat the devil out of it

3:11 using smart hack method, still managed to spill the bleach
i LEARNED A FEW THINGS HERE. THANKS FOR THE HELP
That was so good i hope i can see more videos like this one...
4:11 Why would waste a potato if you can use foam? You can save the potato and eat it instead.
Minimal
Too bad its not a sound
He typed foam UwU
(Jk, iknow what you mean)
Minimal never bothered me, but the sound kills my wife, too.
Foam wasn't around in the 1950's, and potatoes were only like 5 cents.
The Unwanted Guy you are complaining about one potato?
@Colin Streitmatter yes that one potato can rich one million when one million dumb people do the same by getting inspired by this video.
5-min crafts: *wakes up and brushes teeth* WOW WHAT A LIFE HACK! i didnt know the toothbrush was helpful
