I love those hammers and for a dollar that's a great buy and now it's beautiful. I would need a wagon to go to a show like that. The white van with "TOOLS" on the side is what I joke with my wife as to how I will be easily kidnapped. Thanks for taking us along
Great show today John and Thank You for taking us along with you to Elephant Trunk! Nice haul. I’ll enjoy anything the guys pick for you to restore. Thank You
That soft blow hammer is a goodlooking rascal! I vote o see that leather grip hammer ..always live seeing those return to their glory! Enjoyed the stroll thru the flea..thank ya Mr. John for sharing!!
Hi John. Really great video again. Love the hammer you did. Looks like new. Love when you go to those shows. Try to stay cool 😮. Have a great week. 👍👍❤🤠...
I vote for the bent hammer. Just bought an identical one at our neighborhood garage sale last weekend. It’s an Eastwing. Not bent but it’s not pretty. Been using it to repair a wood fence and it has a great balance and feel. Thanks for all you do! 🇺🇸
Those handles on the hammer can be sanded down by hand when they have become cracked and rockhard. You can sand about half of the cracks out and get down to where the rubber is still slightly pliable. After you have sanded, clean it up with some alcohol, let it dry, and then apply multiple coats of armor all. It actually can come out really nicely.
Thanks for the walk around of Elephants Trunk. I did not know about Ramset soft blow hammers so appreciate being shown the details. The restoration looks like new. Well done. Dave.
6:08 I remember as a kid (10?) in PA., my dad had some rope (like above) in a wood shed on the property. I took the rope, and slung it over a cherry tree branch nearby. I made a loop on one end to sit in, and started to pull myself up the tree pulling on the other end. Just as I got to the tree branch, the rope broke, and I fell a good 8 feet. Good Memories!
Thanks for taking me along Scout I really enjoyed the show. That twisted Estwing is going to be an excellent project on “everyone’s favourite, the Dake”. 😂. You’re still my favourite channel on TH-cam. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
@@ScoutCrafter Hey Scout, Brisk isn’t the word, it’s bloody cold mate. Winter solstice tomorrow though thankfully. Have you come across a hammer with a curved (by design) shank in your travels. You have me inspired to start making videos again. Thanks my friend. Stu.
What a great show! The cleanup on the soft-blow hammer was super. Now you have a user from a one dollar beater. I'd like to see you and the Dake straighten out the twisted Estwing claw hammer and clean up that cross pein hammer.
As soon as I see soft fluffy, velvety fabric, I look for a horn! Three seconds is all it takes! Probably a student model. Late fifties, early sixties. Maybe Getzen or Olds. Lacquered brass. A mess. Shoulda been 50 bucks or less! A neat project!
Outstanding work on that Ramset hammer, Scout. And, what a nice-looking tool it is. Thanks much for the look-see at Elephant Trunk. I'm going to make a trip up there this summer. Enjoy the heat wave! 😉👍
Nice job on the soft blow hammer, Scout. And I keep saying that I've got to get to the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market as it looks to be a fantastic place; love the natural setting and the wide selection of vintage items and tools.
Got to do that bent and twisted hammer. I love the way you bring back the rubber handles to a useful condition. Plus, those kinks in the shaft have the dake written all over them.
Nice job on the RAMSET hammer. I have tried many hammer brands, but I am unfamiliar with RAMSET, and I have many favorites. Snap-On dead blow series is a favorite. I own about 15 styles, sizes and variations. Estwing is another favorite. The long handled 22 oz. framers are my favorite Estwing version, especially the smooth faced version. Although I have probably purchased 40 (given most away to sons and grandsons) Estwing hammers, my absolute favorite is that first 22oz. Long handled framer. It was lost for a couple of years by one of my boys and subsequently found with the brush hog. Its twist and handle cuts coming out of the brush hog were significantly more impressive than your curved claw example. That hammer grip is now worn smooth and slick. My handle straightening effort was compromised by limited tooling on the day that I did my salvation in our 50T Dake. It still has a slight head list to one side and deep blade cut scars running parallel to the handle in the grip, but these have never affected its performance. Although I own newer versions of the same hammer, the crude resurrection I performed 30 plus years ago has kept it my framing favorite. If I was a framer, I suppose that I would have upgraded to to a higher end hammer brand, but I think that the Estwing is a fabulous low cost option for every serious DIYer. Arguably the steel Estwing hammer isn't kind to full-time user wrists and elbows, but my intermittent swinging hasn't caused me any recordable injury. I regard my Estwing as a battle scarred evidence of happily raising 5 sons and now 18 grandsons to embrace the trades. Some clever time under your Dake should save your twisted hammer, but I don't understand why the curved claw hammers are still made and purchased. I still own a few relics, but I don't recall when I purposely used one!
Thanks so much for taking us along John, really wish I could jin you for a wander and a chat, I'm pretty sure we'd have plenty to talk about ! I look forward to seeing what you do with that MF Breast drill, I have a similar one, but with a square bit chuck. When you pick up rope and cordage it immediately makes me think of my Dad, being a Mercantile Marine he has great skills with rope and took every opportunity to liberate unwanted resources for various projects , sad to see when he struggles to hold onto a drinking cup or walking frame now. The Ramset soft blow came out great, we are fortunate in the UK to have a longstanding company "Thor" making this type of Hammeer/Mallet that still supply spares for their old products and still sell well !
I know you had a good time at the flea market. Your flea markets make most of ours look like they stoped there first before the landfill. Your restoration on the hammer is another nice save. I would like to see the malco hammer restored next. It reminds me of the hammer I was making in metal shop. We had a medical emergency in the family and I was gone for the week before Thanksgiving break. When I came back to school to finish my hammer it had been thrown away by the teacher. I walked out and went to the wood shop and told the instructor to make the transfer happen. I was a little perturbed. Great show Thank you
The Ramset Hammer was really badly damaged but it looks great now. I hope you do the calipers as this would be great to see it taken apart and restored. Thanks for sharing this.
I worked HVAC years ago and I used a Malco hammer exactly like that one every day assembling sheet metal ductwork. I lost one, then found it a year later when we went back to where I left it, inside the ductwork, right on top of the oil furnace's fire box. The leather disintegrated. Not long after that, i lost the one i had bought to replace it! I wrapped the handle of the original one in about 3 rolls of electrical tape and then Plasti-dipped it in red. I still have it 25 years later and the handle is holding up! It doesn't look great, but it works.
Did the same thing with my knife looking for a leak in a line set with a UV lamp. Found it a year later up under the home laying where I made my last cut in the pipe insulation.
Yes! I remember the last time I did a Malco tin smith hammer you recounted that awesome story! I bet you were happy as a clam finding that old friend right where you left it! 😃👍
Uh oh! That's one of the signs of old age, telling the same story over and over. I didn't think I was quite there yet. Thanks for all the great content!
Thanks for the field trip, and the hammer turned out wonderfully! Got some good news on new house,final walk through on Saturday and I will see about showing the new " shop" then. Thanks again and see you on Friday
Nice Flea Market. Great items and prices. I just restored a Malco hammer which came out beautiful. I also took those sharp edges off like you taught us. Feels wonderful.
Oops I forgot, 2nd comment: You might want to try some of that heat shrink tubing they sell for handles now. It's for fishing rods, tennis rackets, pool cues, hammers and such.....I bought some black with sort of a crisscross pattern on it and put it on a Craftsmen rubber handle hammer that was just starting to develop some hairline cracks around the grip divots, looks great feels great, don't know about durability and longevity yet. Inexpensive from the discount sites, couple bucks for a meter is what I paid. BTW years ago I used quite a few of those stubby nails with a magnetic nail driver attaching steel lath to block walls on a new hotel we were building.
I only wish we had good flea markets in my area like that. Up here near Detroit most of them are filled with way overpriced garbage. However, after watching a few of your Jacktown videos I am pleased to announce that I will be making the trek from the Detroit area to Jack town in October! Thanks for the great videos
"Pretend You're With Me".....What's funny is if I bumped into you somewhere I might be confused how it is after all these years you don't recognize me. I swear I forget that people can't see me when I write comments.........Wow you really caught the flag under the perfect breeze and lighting conditions!
That flea market would have been such fun to attend. Great variety and lots of reasonable prices. The Millers Falls breast drill was a steal for $10. I saw a newer MF regular eggbeater drill for sale at a local thrift store for $25. You did well. I wondered how you would replace those Ramjet tips until you pulled out the original replacement set. That hammer turned out great.
The scale at the 18:36 mark looks to be an Ainsworth. I own one that belonged to my great uncle George, who was a scientist. He purchased it new in 1936.
Scout the Malcolm looks like a 12 ounce runners hammer. I have several of the estwing brand. Great hammers for duct and sheet metal work! Great show as always and excellent restoration on the mallet.
"Golf Grip Solvent" is also VERY good for removing labels, tape residue, price tags, etc. It's actually designed specifically to soften/dissolve adhesive. Probably less expensive than lighter fluid. I tend to buy it in quart bottles.
Thanks! I enjoyed looking at all that stuff. I would have picked up the space themed lunch box. I had one just like it as a kid. They sometimes go for a lot of money.
The Elephants Trunk is a good flea market. Nice haul, you got there. I would enjoy seeing the dividers restored and the hand drill with a patinaed restoration (saving the label). You mentioned Tamiya paint (model paint). Do you need to put some kind of harder mixed in it to prevent flaking, chipping? Maybe you can do a segment on that. Great video.👍🏻🇺🇲
I would love to have seen the hand planes restored mainly due to the ornate caps I saw. I don't recall ever seeing such ornamentation on an older hand plane. Thanks.
Tony- I too was taken back by those ornate castings. It was a great deal but I try my best to leave tools like that to people who collect just planes. I bet they would be happy finding them. 😃👍
Good job on the hammer. I was there that day with my daughter, wish I would have seen you and introduced you to her. I used a curved claw Estwing 16 oz. hammer for many years in my carpentry work. I hope yours gets straightened.
Soft Blow hammer turned out sweet. The concrete nails are for concrete tack strip for wall-to-wall carpet installations. 11/16 Come on most concrete strip. 1/2 stubys are for harder concrete. I carry 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 11/16 in my carpet toolbox.
Good grief !!! I would be bankrupt if I lived near a market like that !!!!!!! Lovely resto of that hammer, just wondered, have you ever tried to make repros of those stickers ? Not something I could do, far too much computer stuff involved for me !
Good video, I couldn't believe the twist in that Estwing! I probably own a dozen Estwings and I've done some really brutal demolition with them & can't imagine twisting one. I thought maybe the guy used a steel fence post or something as a cheater bar in a pinch...but that doesn't make alot of sense with the curved claw. I've done pullups, stood on, & wailed like a maniac against concrete & steel for years & they're no worse for wear... I think I'd like to shake that guys hand.
All the cool stuff went to elephants trunk I can tell! I'm sure you have enough projects in buckets and boxes allready to fill over 5 years of videos with at least. But any excuse will do, I'm not different! Twisted estwing is the one I'd pick!
The way I’ve removed stickers on bikes is a heat gun and a plastic razor blade. That does still leave some glue residue, so I’ve used thinner. I’m gonna pick up some ronsonol lighter fluid and try that on the glue after the heat gun and plastic razor blade next time. Why I like the heat gun is, the stickers are huge and will peel off once they get heated up.
My vote is for the malco hammer love to see thoes leather grips back to beautiful agian. That ramset has thr almost exact thing that pb swiss does for there hammers the piston drive. Old is new for sure but pb swiss you guessed it made in Switzerland and make extremely pricey tools small hammers run 40 to 80 dollars. I like mine as a small hammer on the side of my veto backpack with a steel head/hard rubber kinda a 2 in one under 10in and a pound as well. I don't know if you have tried houdini look lube but it makes plastics and rubbers like that look like new. It also work on power tools since it dosent conduct electricity. I keep a small can in my bag and it's olthe best tool cleaner I've ever used(though I don't know what ita made with trade secret). Get a can if you haven't yet it amazing even on rubber eswing hammer handles!
I just had a funny idea while you were talking about that bent hammer, do you ever have any "FAILS" would be fun to see some Resto Fails as a blooper real maybe if you are ever lost for a topic.
I love those hammers and for a dollar that's a great buy and now it's beautiful. I would need a wagon to go to a show like that.
The white van with "TOOLS" on the side is what I joke with my wife as to how I will be easily kidnapped.
Thanks for taking us along
Great show today John and Thank You for taking us along with you to Elephant Trunk! Nice haul. I’ll enjoy anything the guys pick for you to restore. Thank You
Every episode, your restorations astound me. I'm always very impressed.

Hi John. Really great video again. Love the hammer you did. Looks like new. Love when you go to those shows. Try to stay cool 😮. Have a great week. 👍👍❤🤠...
I do enjoy a good flea market with plenty of tools to choose from. I like your haul.

What a great Fleamarket over there. Thanks for taking me around. I like that plumbing equipment.

Beautiful job on the hammer. Can't wait to see the divider.
At 11:36, I was like "I missed the good part!!". You had me, man!
😂😂😂👍
Hey !John vraiment de belles trouvailles. La restauration du marteau 🔨 est vraiment superbe, comme d'habitude. IL n'y a rien à redire. ❤
Thanks for taking me along Scout I really enjoyed the show. That twisted Estwing is going to be an excellent project on “everyone’s favourite, the Dake”. 😂. You’re still my favourite channel on TH-cam. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
Stuart- I hope you’re enjoying the brisk weather! Heat wave this week here. 😂👍

I think Mr Pete would say Bubba was using that Ramset.
What a great show! The cleanup on the soft-blow hammer was super. Now you have a user from a one dollar beater. I'd like to see you and the Dake straighten out the twisted Estwing claw hammer and clean up that cross pein hammer.
I would snap up the Christmas tree stand, low dollar wood planes. Awesome video!

Excellent! 😃👍
What kind of maniac does not love a soft blow hammer? I thought for sure you bought the tap and die set and some insulators. Great video. Thank you.
Nice Flea Market. Great items and prices. I just restored a Malco hammer which came out beautiful. I also took those sharp edges off like you taught us. Feels wonderful.
Beveled edges make such a difference! 😃👍
Nothing better than a hammer make over !!!
I love the smell of Ronsonol.
Yes! Me too!!! 😂👍

Great show as always and excellent restoration on the mallet.
John, I'd love to see you redo the dividers. Maybe fabricate a brass nut to replace what's on there?
Done! Friday!
The soft blow hammer came out great!
At the flea market, you filmed a Wild Bill Hickock lunch box. That was identical to my own, first grade, back in about 1956. Awesome.
The space one behind it was my old lunch box.
That lunchbox was awesome!!! 😃👍
"Golf Grip Solvent" is also VERY good for removing labels, tape residue, price tags, etc. It's actually designed specifically to soften/dissolve adhesive. Probably less expensive than lighter fluid. I tend to buy it in quart bottles.
Mangled hammer? You betcha! It was a Craftsman...replaced at store with a brand new one...years ago. Not now!
Great episode! You do great work
I would’ve been tied up at those boxes of records for at least an hour!
Thanks! I enjoyed looking at all that stuff. I would have picked up the space themed lunch box. I had one just like it as a kid. They sometimes go for a lot of money.

Hello, great show as usual👍. Has to be the estwing hammer! Had to laugh. I have just sent a new estwing back because it was twisted 😖
Paul- Believe it or not it’s quite common! 😃👍
Great job on the hammer., man I wish we had that type of flee market around here.
So much good stuff, great looking hammer now 🔨👍😊
Great video! Could you make replacement inserts for the old heads? Maybe out of various materials like Delvin, brass, and wood?
Yes! Especially since these have cups! 😃👍
Good job! I’ve always liked those laboratory balances enclosed in glass. I saw one there.
Wow that was a great flea market 👍 and really nice hammer love it 👌
Good job on the hammer. I was there that day with my daughter, wish I would have seen you and introduced you to her.
I used a curved claw Estwing 16 oz. hammer for many years in my carpentry work. I hope yours gets straightened.
Joseph- I always wear a red backpack and blue veterans hat- hope to see you one time! Make sure to say hello to Phil! 😃👍
4:45 Blue Jays ball cap! Love from the Great White North!
Soft Blow hammer turned out sweet. The concrete nails are for concrete tack strip for wall-to-wall carpet installations. 11/16 Come on most concrete strip. 1/2 stubys are for harder concrete. I carry 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 11/16 in my carpet toolbox.
Nailing into concrete had always baffled me! 😂👍
Good grief !!! I would be bankrupt if I lived near a market like that !!!!!!! Lovely resto of that hammer, just wondered, have you ever tried to make repros of those stickers ? Not something I could do, far too much computer stuff involved for me !
Great job on the soft blow hammer.
Good video, I couldn't believe the twist in that Estwing!
I probably own a dozen Estwings and I've done some really brutal demolition with them & can't imagine twisting one.
I thought maybe the guy used a steel fence post or something as a cheater bar in a pinch...but that doesn't make alot of sense with the curved claw.
I've done pullups, stood on, & wailed like a maniac against concrete & steel for years & they're no worse for wear...
I think I'd like to shake that guys hand.
I agree! They are just about the most bulletproof hammer out there! 😂👍
Great job on the hammers John big fan of those really good tool haul god bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🦅47 / FJB 😊
Nice. I'd love to see you make a Delwin tip too!
John,I would like to see all of them restored.
That was a nice hammer makeover
Love the ash tray. I enjoy the occasional cigar so I still use them! Don’t smoke kids! It’s terrible for you!
All the cool stuff went to elephants trunk I can tell! I'm sure you have enough projects in buckets and boxes allready to fill over 5 years of videos with at least. But any excuse will do, I'm not different! Twisted estwing is the one I'd pick!
That's cool you had new tips for the hammer
thxs for sharing, hi Trixy and Pipes...
Scout to clarify _ the Malco hammer looks like a tinners hammer - auto spell issues on my previous comments.
The way I’ve removed stickers on bikes is a heat gun and a plastic razor blade. That does still leave some glue residue, so I’ve used thinner. I’m gonna pick up some ronsonol lighter fluid and try that on the glue after the heat gun and plastic razor blade next time.
Why I like the heat gun is, the stickers are huge and will peel off once they get heated up.
Yes- the heat gun is good when you can use it- The Ronsonol is fantastic for lots of things. Smells good too!
Those dividers will be nice.
Great job w the hammer

Nice job on the hammer. I'm interested in seeing the malco hammer done.
😃👍
Amazing SC!
Wow, I don’t think you filmed a table that I would not have bought something from.😅
Nice restoration! Like to see the Malco hammer with the leather handle restored.
I just had a funny idea while you were talking about that bent hammer, do you ever have any "FAILS" would be fun to see some Resto Fails as a blooper real maybe if you are ever lost for a topic.
My first 600 videos! 😂😂😂👍
Leather handle Estwing, please. Enjoy your videos, thanks.
Hi Scout crafter I have some of those ashtrays you can tell how old they are by the type of tire some of them are very interesting
Scout, I had the same experience with Zippo lighter fluid. I have a gallon of naphtha and I'm buying lighter fluid 12 oz at a clip. Go figure.
Scout I saw you bend down and look at that Tap and Die set, at 3:45 stop walk away you have too many sets already hehe
Yes! I only shot it for the viewers- however if it was $10 I would have bought it. 🫣😂👍
In looking at the items at the show I was sure you would have gotten the large bell to hang and ring at your house.
My daughter bought me a Greybar binary clock for father's day,
I tried looking it up but no hits.
@@ScoutCrafter Its Greymark, sorry
I have trouble leaving behind any complete wood plane. I usually don't!
They were nice but I really wanted to leave them for someone who likes planes. 😃👍
You better never get on the bad side of the guy operating that oyster diving pump!
I found one of them tires from the 20s the tire was rough there is a chunk out of the tire
That Hammer came out nice. Could you save the label? Or is there a way to get those labels of, make the restauration, and place the label back again?
Those are foil labels and almost impossible to save, I wonder if Ramset company has some extras in a drawer somewhere in the wear house? 😂👍
So is that ram set hammer for the ram set concrete nail driver? Either way it turned out great. As always thank you for your time and knowledge.
They made two different models. One had a hard face.
Great show...is elephant trunk every Saturday..??
Also would your 50/50 vas./oil work on car door weather stripping...??...🖖
Every Sunday- silicone or Armorall for your weatherstripping! 😃👍
Do the leather handle hammer
Do you use the regular Goop Hand cleaner or the Orange one to clean up the handles?
Do the estwing
What was the disc you used on the hammer to grind off all those scratches please
First I started with a worn 60 grit disc then a 120 grit disc and finished on the belt sander with 320. 😃👍
