Your yard is looking great with all the wildflowers. I always learn a lot from your channel and I look forward to a new tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.
Your Upstate property and your hydrangeas are looking great. Those crate tools look brand new, amazing transformation! I remember the old scout handbooks, full of good info! Thanks for sharing.
That owner’s manual reminds me of that post making the rounds on Facebook: “~95 years ago, your car’s owner’s manual showed you how to adjust the valves. Now the owner’s manual tells you not to drink the contents of the battery.” 😂
I tell ya, my dad had a model A from 1932 and he let me drive it once. No powered anything lol. I had to put all my weight and my soul into the brake pedal to stop it. Fun memories. Thank you Terry and Scout.
Hi John, great Bridgeport tool refurb. Also loved seeing the Ford book. Also great scouting book. I was in scouts for a short time, but never continued after Cub Scout. I had a ham friend that was very involved in the Scouts. I helped him at a Jamboree. I put together an introduction to Morse Code. I did some display boards about Samual Morse, and the history behind is formulation of the code. It was based on the printing industry. He was at a printer friend and noticed there were a ton of “e”’s in the type. He learned it was the most common letter so he made that the simplest letter. And used the frequency of use in words to help decide complexity of the letter code. I then had the scouts translate their names into Morse code and send it via a code oscillator. They got a certificate when they completed the task that could use for one of the merit badges. I had a lot of fun supporting the scouts jamboree. Another great Scout-crafter video production. Best Regards, John
Well John, It's nice to hear you've had a good spring, ours in the UK has been terrible, the wettest, coldest, dullest most of us can remember, some areas are still getting overnight frosts well into June ! Upstate looks great, a worthwhile experiment, you could get a nice hay crop off that later in the year, and the wildlife will love you for it ! The Crate tool came out great, love the lettering too, so nice of Terry to send you the Model A accessories ! Still got my old Boyscout handbook from the 1970s, it's right next to my bed !
Love the crate tools and the resurrection now if only we had crates to open. My brother had a used Peugeot 404 in high school, it had a crank, at first we kind of chuckled at the idea of it. Not sure how many times it was used but it wound up being very handy, especially in the winter, and the car was quite reliable. Without Scouting my profession may have been very different, and after 45 years in Forestry in one form or another I’ll attribute that desire to the exposure and skills I learned in scouting.
Those old manuals are great! I lost my original Boy Scout handbook from the mid-60s but was able to find an exact replacement for it on ebay. As you said, all of the information in it is still valuable today.
Great video 👍 Your upstate property is looking great. Those 🐝 bees have to be loving those wildflowers 🌾🌼. Great information and demonstration on the sanding discs and how to clean the fiber wheel. Awesome idea 👍using paper to take up the loose play in your fiber wheel arbor and also cleaning up your wheel with a old saw 🪚👍👍. That Bridgeport crate tool you done turned out Fantastic! You knock that one out of the park! 🏟⚾️⚾️⚾️👍 The Scout Crafter lettering also turned out fantastic!, Maybe you can highlight the lettering in Scout Crafter Red 🔴 🎨 😂👍. You got some great stuff from your friend 👍. That was a great idea 💡 for Ford to make two tools in one for that Model A👍. It was also interesting how detailed the owners manual was , very cool to see. That vintage Boy Scout Handbook 📔was also cool to see, a lot of people could learn plenty from that book 📖, very detailed and the illustrations are awesome. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍🇺🇸
Great video Scout and those Hydrangea look fantastic. Sub zero here this morning, -4 I think, so I can’t wait for spring to come around again. We have a bright red Hydrangea that really grabs your attention when it blooms. Cheers, Stuart and Lea, Canberra, Australia 🇦🇺
Terry sent to you a few excellent historical items there. I still refer my scout Field Manual to stay aware of the great information. Scouting was the best. Shame on those who wanted it destroyed. Your field looks excellent upstate. I'd bet it would be beautiful to sit there in the evening and watch the lightning bugs and wildlife come alive. Stay well Scout. 🙂👍
ScoutCrafter, You once again brought up old memories. My high school drafting teacher and his brother owned a Model A Ford. Unfortunately, the car had no powertrain, so he and his brother located an alternative. They were able to retrofit the Model A with a Chevy 327 engine, Corvette transmission, differential, and rear axle. It was more Funny Car than Model A. I had a sailboat with an Atomic Four engine. I had a hand crank for starting the engine if it had a dead battery. The hand crank had a sawtooth pattern for engagement with the crankshaft. I was told if the engine started to run to let go of the crank. If the engine started to run the kick could break your arm. The last ships I worked with had a one-cylinder hand-cranked diesel air compressor for starting a dead ship. Bob
Bob- Paul Shinn did an excellent tutorial on timing the model A- the reason many old motors kicked back is because they were improperly timed! Very interesting!!! 😃👍
@ScoutCrafter I never thought about it being a timing issue. I thought it had to do with having to provide the energy to provide the compression of the air/fuel mixture, while the "dead" battery provided the spark. If I remember correctly the single cylinder compressor diesel engine had a valve that opened the cylinder to the atmosphere. You cranked to get the engine spinning. You closed the vent while opening the fuel. Bingo the diesel fired. Our 750 KW emergency diesel generator had battery starters, powered by two sets of independent batteries. The engines also had an independent hydraulic start system. Besides a powered pump for the hydraulic accumulator bottles, there was also a hand pump.
On the Internet Archive I have 50+ Boy Scout Handbooks uploaded under the title "Boy Scouts ~ 50+ Handbooks, Manuals, Guides" for anyone that's interested.
Hey, John, you're like the Michaelangelo of tool restoration, ie, he removed the stone around the statue already inside, you remove the ugly to reveal the great tool underneath!
It’s wild how the scout handbooks have changed, I was scout leader when my boys were in scouts back around 2010 and the handbooks looked nothing like that. Mine back in the 80’s looked more like the older one you have.
10:40 Fun Fact: If you become an Eagle Scout, and join the Armed Services of the US, you start at a higher rank! In fact, Eagle Scouts that join any branch of the military start at a higher rank than those who do not have the Eagle Scout designation. Higher rank means higher pay. If an Eagle Scout desires to pursue a career in the military, they'll begin as an E-3 instead of an E-1!
On the crate tool, have you ever considered hand engraving a pattern into the tool handle, let’s say something like “ SCOUTCRAFTER” yeah, yeah, I wrote this you finished the video,🙄😏😜!!!!!!!!, and embellish it with the trademark Scoutcrafter red, jeweling looks nice also. Love that hydrangea, beautiful flowers on it. The upstate property is looking nice also. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Man! That goes quick! I remember a Daffy Duck cartoon where Daffy was an annoying door to door salesman! He tries to sell the man of the house anything with Absolutely no success! At the end of the cartoon, Daffy somehow blows up the guy's house! The doorknob, still in Daffy's hand leads to a line! Hey Bub! You need a house to go with this door knob! 😂 Now, you need a Model A to go with that seat screw! Have Fun, John!
100 years ago the owners manual gave you instructions on how to replace a head gasket and adjust your valves on the side of the highway using the tools that came with the vehicle. Fast forward to 2024 we have a sticker that says please don’t drink the stuff inside the battery 😂😂😂
We had a relatively cold and wet spring. Everybody is complaining, but I really like it. I much prefer it to the heat and the garden has way less up keep in the way of water. The heating even switched on early in the morning last week, felt so cosy.
Those crate tools are beautiful. Great restorations. I still have my Boy Scout handbook from the early 1960s. I dont think it has as much i nfo as your 1930 copy. I also have the original owners manual for my 1948 Ford Super Deluxe. It also has about as much information as any owner would require, including what seems like a million lubrication points. Among other tips, the owners manual tells owners NOT to use honey in the cooling system. Not kidding.
I used to have a bunch old Boy Scout handbooks dating back to the very early 1900's. I just scanned my rather extensive library, and much to my disappointment it appears that I no longer have them. I had to downsize the library about 20 years ago, and I must have given them up. Bummer.
Another project that went from crap to flaming ice cream. Beautiful restoration. If you are going to buy a model A, I believe you want the c engine. If I remember it is a balanced engine. Make sure you allow enough time to stop. The brakes are old school. I’ll bet you already have the Ford tools for one! I think I have a repair manual for model A. Let me know if you want it. Thank You
Jess- I remember my Grandmother’s brother Harry said when he was younger his car didn’t have good breaks so he would have to run up against the curb to stop! 😂😂😂
thxs for sharing, hi Trixy and Pipes...here where I live very near a lake called Bitter Lake the mornings are filled with Birds chirping, so I know its asparagus and strawberries season here (asparagus comes across the mnts from eastern Washington)the local strawberries really get going now
My father was a boy scout back in the 1940's, I read his scout manual many times over. Unfortunately for some reason I wasn't allowed to become a scout 😢
(commenting at the start of the video) I restored a crate hammer a few weeks ago but I did not recut the waffle. I then later restored an Estwing drywall hammer where I did recut the waffle and I loved how the fresh cut waffle looked. I can’t wait to see if you did anything with the waffle.
(commenting at the end of the video) oh, interesting. Your crate hammer had two smooth faces. Mine has one smooth face and one waffle face. Good tip on the saw teeth to freshen the mop
The Ford Model A Instruction Book is missing the Spanish language section. Nice video. Thank you. Fun fact: I buy flap discs in my local Japanese dollar store. A new disc is selling for 63 cents U.S. today.
Great job on the crate tool…here’s one for ya…as a avid auction goer I bid on a box for something but inside the box in a zip lock bag was a ( I believe ) first edition Boy Scout hand book…in pretty good condition…interesting read…🖖
What kind of maniac would create an owner's manual that didn't explain how to fix something in 7 different languages, with illustrations that aren't worthless and inaccurate, which is actually useful and helpful? That is just craziness!
Owner's manuals today are written by lawyers not engineers. Now they tell you not to drink the battery acid and call the dealer to schedule a fuse replacement.
Love the show I watch all the time. I myself have a full shop and enjoy restoring and repurposing items, I'm also a collector of antiques especially old tools. Question, your email is bicycle guy but I never see any bikes on your show? Did you use to ride or still do if so please share. More about me I have been an avid cyclist in road and MTB since the 80"s and really enjoy seeing others showing their interested in bicycles.
Hello Orville- Funny thing is there was a time that I was heavy into collecting and restoring bicycles! I still have about 45 or so. It was a fun hobby but I ran out of room! 😂👍
I remember when you used to do a before and after weight on the refurbs. I liked that - any chance on bringing back that feature John? Those wild flowers are fantastic!
Great job on the crate tools, I have 2 questions for you #1 When you are upstate and mowing do you see any bees around the flowers ? #2 What do you think of the Boy Scouts going woke ?
Oddly I see more bees in Queens than upstate! 🫣😂. As for the scouts going woke I feel bad for the many old timers who left their inheritance to the BSA. 😃👍
I have a real old, long, crowbar that was my great grandfathers. One of the two “forks/teeth” is broken halfway off(so it only has 1&1/2 prongs/fork left). Would you shorten it and remake the fork somehow or since it’s only half broken just leave as is? I won’t be using it for any actual work it’s just sentimental, and another tool to restore lol. Thanks.
How has your second workbench been holding up since you upgraded it with the drawers? Do the drawers still slide in and out ok? Has the wood on wood contact become smoother and more polished, or is it wearing thru in a bad way? Did you add any masonite, or pvc glides or anything? 🤔🤔🤔
James- I don’t use those drawers often at all- I think the best way to do those drawers if used often is to but some Formica and cut it into 2” strips then glue it on the bottom of the drawers and top of the base. Having the two surfaces slide on each other. 😃👍
Great looking crate tool. Can i ask what belt you used in your video on he 1x32 belt sander? Do they sell scotch pad belts for 1x32 or 1x 42 sanders? I have a few crate tools but i want to keep the advertising name on them so dont want to sand the lettering off. Thanks.
@@ScoutCrafter I know about the New Hermes because I found at salvage one day a box of diamond tipped gravers for the machine. I am fascinated by the machine and the 3 gravers I have are still sharp. Been on the lookout for one. Hope it doesn’t set me back too far when I find one
@@ScoutCrafter I found a New Hermes Engravograph at salvage today for $70 but did not buy it because it was missing the arm. I could not find the arm available on eBay and I doubt I will ever find one that I can afford. Sad, because it looked like a solid unit and even had a dozen different gravers in the little pull-out drawer. What do you think? I think it would cost me too much to restore to working order.
It's funny about flap discs that when they are shot for welders they have a lot of life left for us. You need to join a Model A group online whether a forum or Face Plant and just absorb. Keep an eye on the ones being sold. You will get an idea of quality and prices. You can probably find one to your liking. I wouldn't mind one but I kind of like the pickup better. The prices on those are not low.
Funny how back then, only the rich or elite owned a car, and the common person owned a horse, even the poor owned a horse. Now it's the other way around.

I’m a “worn 65” and I certainly wish I still had my Scout Handbook! Still know all the letters of the sign language alphabet.
Nice wild flowers upstate. Starting to look all formal 'Wild'.
WOWZA! Your Snowball hydrangea is Spectacular!

The 3 belts I use most are 80, 120 and 320. They do make scotchbrite belts! 😃👍
Excellent work on the create tool. 👍
What?! Was that a gravograph at 9:25 ?!
Yes! New Hermes engraveograph. I did a few videos on it, if you type in “ScoutCrafter New Hermes” in the search bar a few should come up. 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter I know about the New Hermes because I found at salvage one day a box of diamond tipped gravers for the machine. I am fascinated by the machine and the 3 gravers I have are still sharp. Been on the lookout for one. Hope it doesn’t set me back too far when I find one
@@ScoutCrafter I found a New Hermes Engravograph at salvage today for $70 but did not buy it because it was missing the arm. I could not find the arm available on eBay and I doubt I will ever find one that I can afford. Sad, because it looked like a solid unit and even had a dozen different gravers in the little pull-out drawer. What do you think? I think it would cost me too much to restore to working order.
New car owner’s manuals are twice as thick as the old ones and tell you half as much useful information.
It's funny about flap discs that when they are shot for welders they have a lot of life left for us. You need to join a Model A group online whether a forum or Face Plant and just absorb. Keep an eye on the ones being sold. You will get an idea of quality and prices. You can probably find one to your liking. I wouldn't mind one but I kind of like the pickup better. The prices on those are not low.
They have a Long Island model A club.. 😃👍
Funny how back then, only the rich or elite owned a car, and the common person owned a horse, even the poor owned a horse. Now it's the other way around.
