Today’s video was awesome from the white puffy clouds to the beautiful green lawn restoring an old knife seeing the bus you drove your Birdhouse in the front yard thanks for sharing all these personal things with us it’s a joy to see what’s next with you thank you very much. Frank
ScoutCrafter, well that means Friday with a field like that upstate they will become a full-fledged field mice I can see you had fun taking care of them this past winter good for you
I just want to thank you for continually posting your videos with all the work you have. Look forward to your posts every week. The land upstate looks beautiful. Thanks Again!
New to the channel sir. Love the content. I'd give anything to live from 20s to 75. Absolutely love this channel. You have talent and I love how in the beginning of each vid you take us back to the past for a few minutes. Thank you for all the work you put into your vids.
Bigfoot cloud - loved it! LOL! I enjoyed seeing the old timer - interesting piece of history. And no, you NEEDED it! Just think how many "Man I am kicking myself for not buying that" comments it saved you from! I learned my lesson long ago. These comments are just to difficult to live with and haunt you forever. 👍🏻
Hi Scout.....thanks for sharing. Nice to see the lot and your old bus. I agree with the silicone carbide and that it's hard to clean up - use as little as possible and keep working it - it will break down into a finer and finer paste. That's how we used to polish valve seats after grinding (just add a bit more oil as needed to keep slurry loose). Be safe and have a happy day!
I’m just like you in that regard, I have ALWAYS loved anything old over something new! Some people used to say I was crazy, but to this very day I love old things much better than new! I don’t know why?
The knife came out nice. what a beautiful piece of property. God bless you and your family and friends. I can imagine you're dying to move up there .😁👍
I think we must have been twins separated at birth. My wife says I was born 40 years too late as I love vintage tools, great engineering, building and fixing things etc. I look at my grandson and he enjoys helping me and I hope I instil in him the joy of using a quality tool to get something done.
We must all be siblings from a past life. I'm 27 but I have an affinity for old items/ tools and doing restorations. It's nice to meet you again brothers
Excellent video, thanks. Enjoyable diversion with the white puffy clouds and the old timing device. Amazing how that knife seemed to be of decent quality. The blades had good snap to them upon opening and closing. My first experience with a knife from pakistan was that it broke where the blade met the handle while I was field dressing a whitetail deer. I have since bought a few damascus fixed blades off ebay. They are wickidly sharp, but I have problems with the handles breaking
Nature always finds a way like with that felled tree. Very neat to see. Makes you realize we are just temporary visitors here. Very nice work on the pocket knife! Enjoy the nice weather and relax.👍🍻
One of my most used and sturdy folding knives for years was Pakistan made. With real nice bone handles. A nice heavy work horse of a knife with good blades. I still have it (somewhere) 😄
Awesome time with you but I think you're full of it!!! If there is someone I know with lots of patients is you. You always take the time to do awesome restorations.
Excellent job on the knife. I cover sharp objects with masking or duck tape to keep from cutting myself. I have a ton of projects on my bench but can't find any of them! My mantra: Do I need it? Do I want it? Take care John. Jim
Hey that knife turned out nice,, it looks like it has some age to it. Nice to have a get away place John, can tell you like going up. Thanks for sharing,, hope your doing well with all the crazy stuff close to you.

That knife turned out great. I bow down to your flap wheel angle grinding skill. I love old pocket knives like that. The brass, the pins. That old timer is sweet. My step dad passed, he has a ton of old testing equipment that I want to take home! I really like your property upstate. Is that where you are going to release the mice? They would like the brush piles etc. Stay safe and stay healthy!
Wow those trees are amazing! I've never seen them grow like that, but I'll definitely have to look more carefully now! The knife looks great! Nice horn handles! Thanks for sharing SC!
Hey Scoutcrafter, I remember using a timer like that back in the day to develop x-rays by hand tank, you could see the timer in the red safelight... very cool
10:10 Lawn Question: As a kid in PA. I loved fishing because I lived beside the Susquehanna River. At night, you could wet the lawn and worms would come to the surface. I think they thought it was raining? You simply put them in a jar for fishing the next day. Would that work there? I called them Ring Worms, because they had a ring on their body and they were HUGE! Poem: Ooey Gooey was a Worm, A mighty worm was he. He sat upon a railroad track, A train he did not see. Ooey Gooey! =O
Alan- I have a pan that I always keep filled with fresh clean water in my backyard, Funny thing is when I lift the pan there are always worms under it. I often wonder how many worms are under our feet? 😃👍
Clouds, years ago I had a girlfriend who could see and find many things in clouds. Very good restoration on that knife. I would of liked to live in 1937 - 1940 , things and life was inexpensive and better. Not many nuts running around.. democrats & republicans respected each other. I loved the Andy Hardy movies with his predicaments with his girlfriend Polly, and his Judge Father always giving a great speech to keep Andrew safe and on the correct direction of life. Take care my friend, be safe.
Another thing I like about Pakistan is they do a lot of traditional designs when it comes to folding knives and fixed blade and they even do Damascus knives
Man up state is beautiful. Have you ever thought about putting a house there and living there? The knife turned out really well. Thanks Scout everybody be safe out there.
I've come across a couple of those Pakistan made knives - they aren't badly made. The carbon steel blades sharpen up really nicely. Sometimes I'll take a small piece of steel wool and use it as an abrasive with the Popsicle stick to clean out the insides.
I remember when I was a kid there was a small pond near my house and a tree had fallen in it and started to send out tendrils into the water. Just like you the other kids weren’t interested but I thought it fascinating.
Awesome job on that knife! A trick I use to clean the rust from my old “kamp king” scout knife is I cut a half dollar size circle out of a scotch brite pad and chock it up in a mandrill and use a hand drill and that worked awesome for me
I was thinking one of those old emery board nail files that ladies use to use.. basically they were skinny pop sticks with sandpaper on them.. that would have fit in the channel that the blade sits in and work like sandpaper..
I have a couple of pocket knives made in Pakistan and I’m quite happy with them. I picked them up at a garage sale cheap and never looked where they were made until I’d had them a couple of years. Surprising but they make good knives there.
The knife turned out nice. The good news about doing anything with a knife trike this is that if you can mess it up you are not out much. If your scoutcrafter you don’t have to worry about that!😬
You know David you are so right it’s always good practice to work on a knife that doesn’t have a high monetary value because like you said if you mess up you’re not out a lot! 😃👍
Wonderful video. Crazy world right now. Don't what facilities you have on your country property, but that's where I would want my shop and spend my time there. Again, no idea of the circumstances or layout or anything. Just a beautiful property.
I like a good knife clean up video 👍 I remember a film 40 or so years ago filmed in India/Pakistan They were cutting up the old (Made in England) railway track to make in to scissors and knives, Maybe...
It has been said too me often too, that I was born too late. I think they were at least partly right because I love old stuff and I don't do well with electronics. On the other hand, we have so much that makes our lives easier, like washing machines and I love this stuff on TH-cam. We are getting some rain over here. Wich is for the best, it's been dry for so long. My garden really needs it. I water my plants and it helps them stay alive but that's it. Give them some mild rain and they blossoms. Same thing with the grass, I can keep it greenish but not they deep beautiful green we all like.
What a coincidence. Yesterday I restored a couple of knives myself. One of them was a Barlow. I don’t have anything like your fancy pants equipment, but it was still a lot of fun. 😉
You know Andrew some of my favorite restorations I’ve done with no power tools at all just getting in the shop is such a joy to me I don’t care what equipment I use! However anytime I use the lathe or the Dake is a joy!
Timers like that come in handy for battery chargers, it's so easy to forget and leave the charger on and ruin a battery....I've ruined more than one motorcycle or tractor battery by forgetting I had a charger on it. I was given a Pakistan knife many years ago, it was good quality but I didn't care for the design of it. Mowing is like meditation except you actually get something done.
LOL I too have ruined more than my share of batteries because that for some reason I forget about the battery charger being on but now I have the smart battery tender that works really good and I don’t have to worry about it!
That timer reminded me how I hated the wind up alarm clock. I then replaced it with one like a Rolla dex style that still had it's own kind of noises and buzzing
oh I can understand your fascination for clouds, it´s the same for me. Sometimes when I drive my car and I am seeing some really nice cloud formations, I stop and step out of the car. I really like the clouds that looks like mountains, it´s like a mysterious land far far away.
@@ScoutCrafter more a melancholy mood for me, but in a good way. It´s a land that you can see but you aren´t allowed to step on, like a forbidden fruit.
I was looking forward to hearing the ping on the timer. I love the fact that they all sound different and was wondering if it would be a hammer on a bell or a buzzer. Regarding the lapping compound. Have you heard of a uk product called “Yorkshire grit”. It really is fantastic.
I have a very similar knife in my pocket but one made in Sheffield. Arthur Wright (and sons) made it. They still manufacture knives. I keep a Michael May knife on my desk (again made in Sheffield) Both still produce a traditional Barlow knife.
Great video. It is nice to own property but mowing the lawn is a completely different issue....lol You got to get yourself a blue tooth head set that's how I manage.
Good old clover valve grinding compound. Had a soldier get injured by a WM on a bivouac at Ft Benning. Tree broke off at the top and landed on the front of his head. Was still in a coma after 3 years. Stay safe my brother
I used to be a bus driver too John and there was a myth that the only person in the UK allowed to take a comfort break in public was a bus driver at the rear wheel of the bus. I never tried it out.
Nick- Funny story between us bus drivers, when I first started in about 1985 the only way you could relieve yourself on certain runs was at the end of the line before you picked anyone up, you stood in the rear door well and relieved yourself in a cup... Well one day a driver just finished his business and returned to his driver seat where he opened the window and threw out the contents of his cup- The only problem is another driver who pulled up behind him was just walking up to ask him a question when he got a face full of... =D
ScoutCrafter. Class story John, back in the seventies before my time on the buses I used to hear stories of drivers dreading doing the school runs in the old Bristol double deckers as invariably mummy’s little darlings would relieve themselves down the periscope on top of the drivers head.
Do I need it? No Do I want it? Yes Hmm. Could be me Used to hunt through my granny’s house ( with her blessing!) when I was little looking for “ treasures “ as I called them. Theoldbrass key from my dads clockwork boat that made one voyage only before disappearing beneath the waves at the seaside. (1932?) this was in the seventies when I was about the same age. Still got that key
Great work on that knife. This video came at a great time! I have an old low-quality knife life that. I think it was my dad's when he was a kid. I have been thinking of restoring it, but didn't know where to start. Great info here. One question-what grits are you using on the belt sander to clean up the blade?
Paul- You know I never look at grits anymore! I look at the project and see if I need course medium or fine and grab a belt by feel! These blade were a little beat up so I had no fear of ruining them! 😃👍
Pocket knife came up great scout nice little tool , quick question when you’re mowing do you listen 👂 to the radio 📻 or music I’m a big podcast fan learning as I get older I love learning something new every day great video take care with the riots over there god bless 🇳🇿👌🏻🐕🐁
Hi John. Don't know if you ever read the captions on your videos. Sometimes I use captions so I can watch while it is noisy. I noticed long ago that the captions are at best sketchy. 😆 On my video the opening is , "Hi I'm old snail ox." Just now your's was, "Hi everybody scout crafty here again." I once had the entire script of a tool repair video typed up. Hilarious! No wonder I get odd questions as to what happened in videos. I can't imagine what it comes out as in Hindi or Spanish.
So you were mowing while holding your phone to make the video? It was kinda cool to watch, but that had to be difficult. At your property there upstate, it looks like you have two sheds. Is one a shed and the other a small cabin that you can hang out and/or sleep in? The knife from Pakistan looks old and we'll made. When I look at an old knife I look to see if the metal plates that make up the body of the knife are bowed. They are frequently bowed inward. The Pakistan knife looked perfectly straight. I think it's a fine pocket knife with many more good years of service in it. I seem to remember Magdad using bits of scotchbrite pad in the knife grooves which he pushes with the popsicle stick. Maybe try that next time. 😀
Un saludos desde Uruguay, interpretando lo que te decía tu abuelo diría que eres un alma vieja. Espero que la justicia y la paz vuelvan a las calles de EE.UU. Abrazo
Another great video. Like yourself I didn't expect too much once I heard Pakistan but I guess they can make a better knife than I thought. They do make a lot of surgical instruments tho so maybe one of those guys made it. I saw you were looking for acreage. I don't tell just anybody this lol but if you get outside NY WV is nice(and probably a lot cheaper than up there(but don't let it out lol). Hope you find your dream place wherever you want it. Take care.
I haven't looked too much at WV because of my fear that it might swing like VA did! However after reading your post I did more research and found out it looks to be pretty solid... (Politically) =) I will look more! Thanks much!!!!!!!!!!!
Tired out from mowing "upstate", does that John Deere steer that hard ? LOL looks nice and the fresh smell is also good. I remember when I lived in the real upstate you push the mower in one direction and turn around and come back your lawn would have that stripped affect.
Ernie- The Drive up and back is what wears me out! 5 hours total and I'm beat... =D There are lots of people who try to stripe their lawns in all sorts of patterns! =D
I have had a few good quality Pakistani tools that surprised me. I have a Roman Gladius reproduction that’s got excellent steel and the only thing that is slightly so-so is the fitment of the horn handles. But it’s cosmetic and the sword is rock solid and the steel is tough and has not rolled on me. How did you get the lapping compound out?
Today’s video was awesome from the white puffy clouds to the beautiful green lawn restoring an old knife seeing the bus you drove your Birdhouse in the front yard thanks for sharing all these personal things with us it’s a joy to see what’s next with you thank you very much. Frank
Frank Friday the mice go free! =D

Lee I still regret not buying a few things I passed on... Many years later!
I also enjoy the old stuff, and what i enjoy most off all is the smell, it can take you back in time. Really enjoy your videos, Big Thumbs Up.
You are a true artist sir, great job. From NC keep the colors flying and keep looking at the clouds.
That cleaned up nicely. That property looks so nice freshly mowed. Cheers

Thanks Steve! Hope we get a meeting soon! My GF is missing Elephants trunk! 😃👍
Yeah, that would be nice to have sometime soon, right?
Nice to see a little of your home life Scoutcrafter 👍
You’ve gotta have some good bus driver stories. I would love to hear some of the great ones.
One of my most used and sturdy folding knives for years was Pakistan made. With real nice bone handles. A nice heavy work horse of a knife with good blades. I still have it (somewhere) 😄
Awesome time with you but I think you're full of it!!!
If there is someone I know with lots of patients is you. You always take the time to do awesome restorations.
Commenting on the regrowth of your trees, suggest you watch a few hedge-laying videos from England. Fascinating process.
Excellent job on the knife. I cover sharp objects with masking or duck tape to keep from cutting myself. I have a ton of projects on my bench but can't find any of them! My mantra: Do I need it? Do I want it? Take care John. Jim
Hey that knife turned out nice,, it looks like it has some age to it. Nice to have a get away place John, can tell you like going up. Thanks for sharing,, hope your doing well with all the crazy stuff close to you.
You and Juan got me searching for my very old Barlow
I love Barlow’s, my father carried one until he died for some reason it’s just such a great knife
@@ScoutCrafter In the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Twain wrote about Tom receiving a Barlow knife, saying, "Mary gave him a brand new "Barlow" knife worth twelve and a half cents; and the convulsion of delight that swept his system shook him to his foundations"
My grandpa had a special one that was razor sharp he used to castrate calves in the fall. ( Creek Co. OK) Age 10 I helped. 😜🤠🤠
“Might be Photoshopped”.....you always make me laugh! 🧯🧰🧼🇺🇸
I really love your off topic videos, love your upstate videos!
Derek! Friday is for you! =D
Man you bought that knife back to life.
That oversized Barlow knife is very cool and work is never ending
Thanks another great video!
That knife turned out great. I bow down to your flap wheel angle grinding skill. I love old pocket knives like that. The brass, the pins. That old timer is sweet. My step dad passed, he has a ton of old testing equipment that I want to take home! I really like your property upstate. Is that where you are going to release the mice? They would like the brush piles etc. Stay safe and stay healthy!
Aaron- I released the mice today in Ct! Friday you will see! 😃👍
Wow those trees are amazing! I've never seen them grow like that, but I'll definitely have to look more carefully now! The knife looks great! Nice horn handles! Thanks for sharing SC!

Talk about turning a real sow's ear into a gorgeous silk purse! That knife is a work of art, ScoutCrafter!
Pakistan! 😂
@@ScoutCrafter I KNOOOOOW, right? Who knew?? ;-)
Another thing I like about Pakistan is they do a lot of traditional designs when it comes to folding knives and fixed blade and they even do Damascus knives
Those work great for turning the lights on your plants when you leave for work or go to bed ;p Havent seen one of them since highschool lol
I used laping compound for sharing reels on mowers. Cool knife. Beautiful property.
Rob, that lapping compound is pretty handy stuff! =D
I'm glad to see I am not the only one that mows in rounded corners. Drives my golf course loving neighbor nuts! Nice show....
I think some people with zero turn mowers can square off corners but without one it makes no sense! 😃😃
That knife is pretty sweet. Definitely is not the worse thing to come out of Pakistan.
Another great show Scout. 👍🏼
Man up state is beautiful. Have you ever thought about putting a house there and living there? The knife turned out really well. Thanks Scout everybody be safe out there.
I’m looking now for 100 acres! 😃👍

The knife is a Granddaddy Barlow (larger than standard Barlow). The walk and talk looks/sounds good on this knife.
I remember when I was a kid there was a small pond near my house and a tree had fallen in it and started to send out tendrils into the water.
Just like you the other kids weren’t interested but I thought it fascinating.
Glad you have some land upstate.
Hope you don't HAVE to evacuate to it anytime soon.
The way things are going it is hard to tell.

I used to be a bus driver too John and there was a myth that the only person in the UK allowed to take a comfort break in public was a bus driver at the rear wheel of the bus. I never tried it out.
Nick- Funny story between us bus drivers, when I first started in about 1985 the only way you could relieve yourself on certain runs was at the end of the line before you picked anyone up, you stood in the rear door well and relieved yourself in a cup... Well one day a driver just finished his business and returned to his driver seat where he opened the window and threw out the contents of his cup- The only problem is another driver who pulled up behind him was just walking up to ask him a question when he got a face full of... =D
ScoutCrafter. Class story John, back in the seventies before my time on the buses I used to hear stories of drivers dreading doing the school runs in the old Bristol double deckers as invariably mummy’s little darlings would relieve themselves down the periscope on top of the drivers head.
busy day for you but good works again...btw I like knife size...
Kadir that is an unusual size for that style knife I’ve never seen one before!
...NICE ONE..
Do I need it? No
Do I want it? Yes
Hmm. Could be me
Used to hunt through my granny’s house ( with her blessing!) when I was little looking for “ treasures “ as I called them. Theoldbrass key from my dads clockwork boat that made one voyage only before disappearing beneath the waves at the seaside. (1932?) this was in the seventies when I was about the same age. Still got that key
Isn’t it funny how there are some small things that we acquire in life that means so much to us? 😃👍
Great work on that knife. This video came at a great time! I have an old low-quality knife life that. I think it was my dad's when he was a kid. I have been thinking of restoring it, but didn't know where to start. Great info here. One question-what grits are you using on the belt sander to clean up the blade?
Paul- You know I never look at grits anymore! I look at the project and see if I need course medium or fine and grab a belt by feel! These blade were a little beat up so I had no fear of ruining them! 😃👍
Hey John, how often do you mow your lawn in your up state property? Thanks for sharing and take care!!
June, July and half of August about every week to 10 days. Then it slows down to every two weeks until November. 😃👍
Pocket knife came up great scout nice little tool , quick question when you’re mowing do you listen 👂 to the radio 📻 or music I’m a big podcast fan learning as I get older I love learning something new every day great video take care with the riots over there god bless 🇳🇿👌🏻🐕🐁
Matt- I have the FM ear protection and it’s awesome!!! Podcasts are great! Thanks!
John, Great job on the knife. Can you do a video on how to sharpen wood turning tools?
Hi Vincent! I have a bunch of speciality sharpening machines all put away since I bought carbide insert tools! LOL
Hi John. Don't know if you ever read the captions on your videos. Sometimes I use captions so I can watch while it is noisy. I noticed long ago that the captions are at best sketchy. 😆
On my video the opening is , "Hi I'm old snail ox." Just now your's was, "Hi everybody scout crafty here again."
I once had the entire script of a tool repair video typed up. Hilarious! No wonder I get odd questions as to what happened in videos. I can't imagine what it comes out as in Hindi or Spanish.
Dave! 😂 The funny thing is with my NY accent most voice recognition software thinks I am a stroke victim! 😂😂😂😂
@@ScoutCrafter Some people worry about AI taking over. Not likely.
So you were mowing while holding your phone to make the video? It was kinda cool to watch, but that had to be difficult. At your property there upstate, it looks like you have two sheds. Is one a shed and the other a small cabin that you can hang out and/or sleep in? The knife from Pakistan looks old and we'll made. When I look at an old knife I look to see if the metal plates that make up the body of the knife are bowed. They are frequently bowed inward. The Pakistan knife looked perfectly straight. I think it's a fine pocket knife with many more good years of service in it. I seem to remember Magdad using bits of scotchbrite pad in the knife grooves which he pushes with the popsicle stick. Maybe try that next time. 😀
Hi James! Yes- One shed is a shop and mower storage and the other is set up to relax and unwind! =) I have to try MagDads scotchbrite trick!
That’s an older Pakistan knife. Most of them were Buck 110 clones from the 80’s. They are making some pretty nice knives in Pakistan today.

Hello Pablo! Thankyou so much my friend!!!
Nice job! I'm calling this comment done.
Good one Steve - LOL
😂😂😘
That knife came out great. The inside must have been a lot of work.
It was more trouble getting out the lapping Compound! 😂😂😂
Another great video. Like yourself I didn't expect too much once I heard Pakistan but I guess they can make a better knife than I thought. They do make a lot of surgical instruments tho so maybe one of those guys made it. I saw you were looking for acreage. I don't tell just anybody this lol but if you get outside NY WV is nice(and probably a lot cheaper than up there(but don't let it out lol). Hope you find your dream place wherever you want it. Take care.
I haven't looked too much at WV because of my fear that it might swing like VA did! However after reading your post I did more research and found out it looks to be pretty solid... (Politically) =) I will look more! Thanks much!!!!!!!!!!!
5 digit Zip Codes, like the one on the box started in 1963. Maybe that can help date the timer.
Great hint Bill!
Perhaps this project can kick off the innaugural "you can polish a turd" contest
Tired out from mowing "upstate", does that John Deere steer that hard ? LOL looks nice and the fresh smell is also good. I remember when I lived in the real upstate you push the mower in one direction and turn around and come back your lawn would have that stripped affect.
Ernie- The Drive up and back is what wears me out! 5 hours total and I'm beat... =D There are lots of people who try to stripe their lawns in all sorts of patterns! =D
I have had a few good quality Pakistani tools that surprised me. I have a Roman Gladius reproduction that’s got excellent steel and the only thing that is slightly so-so is the fitment of the horn handles. But it’s cosmetic and the sword is rock solid and the steel is tough and has not rolled on me.
How did you get the lapping compound out?
Joe I had to use lots of elbow grease and WD-40 with Q-tips! 😂😂😂
There's no curfew at your property up state I bet. Just a thought from a curfewless southerner.
Jon- Curfews are for cityfolk! LOL! =D
For some reason I really thought that knife is cool, good size in my opinion.
now its "made in the USA with global materials" and is worth $170 easily!
A good day for a restoration
