    At 4:36. We had one on our ranch in the 1960s. it was used to scrape the hair off of a scalded hog carcase prior to butchering. The fat scraper looked quite different.

    The hog scraper was used to remove hair off the hide. Then the hide was cut into pieces and put in a rendering kettle to cook off the lard. Then the pieces were pressed to remove the lard and the cooked skin was cracklings

      I concur. My g’fathar had an abattoir and I would get to watch, except for the actual slaughter as I was a little kid. His cracklings were pressed almost fat free as he was 6’7” and could really crank that press. Yum. Btw, just turned 80.

    That axe has more to do with timber framing than coopering. They usual came in pairs ,one offset bro the left ,the other to the right. They would be used to square up the sides of large timbers so the blade could shave flatly down the side. Once the head is working below the top edge of a big beam ( think well over 8”),you need the offset to keep your hands clear and the blade true.

    • @BackPorchAntiques
      @BackPorchAntiques  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Probably multiple uses for those tools I suppose. I'm not sure which one you're referring to, exactly, but many an adze was used for coopering.

    • @Pocketfarmer1
      @Pocketfarmer1 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@BackPorchAntiques I was referring bro Mathews first tool presented in the video that was labeled a coopers axe. Coopers didn’t deal with very large pieces of timber and had little need of an off set handle . Also Coopering adzes usually have curved blades to hollow out the inside of the barrel staves much like gutter and bowl adzes.

      @Pocketfarmer1 I appreciate your response. I always welcome feedback. Check out Alex Stewart on "Folkways" documentary series about Appalachian lifestyles. He was a third generation cooper and it shows his process. He stated he could build a churn "from stump to dasher" in two days. He used an adz kind of like that one. It may be a regional thing, too.

    • @thomaswalsh287

      The hewing axe was symmetrical from top to bottom, including the "eye" which was not tapered, allowing you to flip the severe offset handle for both left and right hand use, thus eliminating the need for two axes.

    That wrench is actually Copper Beryllium, it's probably over 80% copper and the fact that they don't spark is only half of the reason they're made that way, the other half being they don't have any magnetism.

    Comment on the beryllium copper tools. They were not "anti spark" nor used to prevent explosions. The beryllium alloy will spark like most any metal. They were used to work around large magnets. We used them in the military when working around radars. The magnetrons and amplitrons used in radar transmitters have very strong magnets and will pull a ferris tools out of your hand. Beryllium alloy tools are non-ferris which makes them not attracted to magnets and magnetic fields.

      According to the manufacturer, you're wrong. You were ill -informed, but now you know that:
      "Nonsparking Berylco Safety Tools will not emit sparks that can ignite volatile materials, chemicals or gasses. Tests have shown that our tools cannot produce a spark to ignite carbon disulfide, which has the lowest ignition point of any substance. Berylco Safety Tools are certified nonsparking by the Factory Mutual Research Corporation."
      They are also non-magnetic, corrosion resistant and relatively strong compared to other copper alloys and non-sparkling tools.

    The "hog scraper was also used to scrape the hair off the hog skin. Usually, the hog was dipped in boiling water to loosen the hairs. So they could be washed off. The scrapped skin and attached fat under it was cut into small "cubes". Then they were placed in a butchering kettle and heated until the lard liquified. The now cooked skin, fat, etc particles were skimmed off . They were put into a sausage stuffer and then pressed to get all the lard out. The "cake" of renderings was set out for people break off pieces to snack on.

    The double cup hog scraper was used after you scald the hog in very hot water. Then the scraper was used to scrape away the hair not the fat !

    Beryllium should not be used or cleaned. Exposure to it is bad and all contractors you mentioned were supposed to stop using them several decades ago.

      I suppose they probably did, that's why those tools have ended up in an antique store. However, just as some people still use lead filler in automotive body work, there are people who still use these. I don't disagree with you.

      Beryllium is not banned but it is carcinogenic. Inhaled powder is particularly bad, it has long been linked to lung cancer. If you need to polish it do it submerged. As I always understood it if it's not airborne it's less dangerous.

    That hog scraper is used to remove the hair from the hog after you scalded it. It was not used for removing fat from the hide as far as I know. I do know about the hair removal, because I grew up using those scrapers. Just trying to help. I like your videos.

    After watching this video it is very clear that you need to do considerable more research as there are many false comments in this one...see below.

      The beautiful thing about comments is that we get to learn some new things from others. Also, comments=engagement, which TH-cam loves. Probably why the video has 178k views. Thank you for watching and thank you for the engagement.
