  • Nello is the gentleman who hosts the program, showing samples of just some of the thousands of artifacts he has collected over the past seven-plus decades. So, sit back and enjoy a short tour of his travelling trailer he takes around to Pittsburgh area schools.

    Awesome collection! I love old tools!

    That was absolutely fabulous. Much better than seeing all this stuff in small museums is to have someone from the era demonstrate them. He represents a window to Americana that won't be open long...

    I'm glad to see this video. The existence of old tools needs to be preserved. These are great.

    Nello saw the need to preserve the past so that future generations could see how things were done way back when! What a treasure trove!

    Thank you for taking the time to produce this. Absolutely fascinating and incredibly educational. Watching from England and being a museum nerd most of my life I have never come across, or indeed heard of, many of these items. I guess they must be unique to the U.S. Please thank Mr Nello.

    Its awesome that he put this collection together and tours it around showing kids some of our early tools. Also hard to grasp the number of artifacts that he has found on his farm.

    Wonderfully informative and insightful... very important to document such things as this, thankyou for sharing, I learned a few things and also saw many things that I have never seen nor heard of before, enjoyed this a lot. Nello seems like a great character... and as he says progress is not necessarily an improvement, once again many thanks. I hope he is still going strong.

    Loved this.....I collect Japanese antiques and find things I`m not sure about and bring them to my father in law who has helped explain many of them to me. We need to talk to...and more importantly listen to ... these old timers `cause they won`t be around forever and they can offer us first hand experience with a lot of these old items....I find this stuff fascinating and wish I could talk to Nello myself. Thanks for posting this.

    This is Wonderful!! I could spend Weeks, at least,with Nello learning about these things.
    Yes, People were Smarter years ago, 'back in the day'. I LOVE Old Tools, or anything that someone made. I was born too late.
    The Indian items are Very Nice. Have found things all my live, but Not that Big. Nice!
    Before Industrial Revolution Is a Time i'd like to see. Actually, with the Indians as well.
    I wonder how long after the I R period those Carpenter tools, shown, were still used. NOT including Amish and those Talented Crafters. =]
    Thank You Both So Much!! ~ * peace

  • @buckwheat7424
    @buckwheat7424 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Life is cool, some have an interest to collect things, and those things mean a lot to them. It's obvious they like showing those things, in reality they probably don't show too many people their collections. Throughout their lifetime those tools were a big part of it. Hopefully someone close to Nello will take over to protect the tools when Nello needs help in that, just as they are, and spend time with them, they'll tie into his energy.

    Around 8:45 the "sad iron". It was called that because sometimes it got too hot and scorched the item being ironed or the operator got burned using it.
    My mother actually had and used one of those when we lived on the farm. She also had a washing machine with a gasoline motor. Lights were Aladin Lamps which burned kerosene. Telephone had a crank to generate it's own electricity. We had all the "modern" conveniences including battery powered radio.

    The universal bread maker has a dough hook on the inside and mixes and kneads the dough like a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. If anyone is curious as to how it works. You did not bake the bread in it like a bread machine.

      Never found It for sale at a acceptable price. They were wanting 400.or so, the metallurgy was crude , , and it was almost impossible to find even at that price . Plus I could fabricate one out of much finer, stronger steel, 4130 steel if given a choice. , so I had some stuff machined out of high quality steel, assembled a close tolerance assembly , and welded it up myself. Works good , had to make some refinements . If you make one observe all safety precautions , and there are certain tricks and training required to use it safely. Merry Christmas . From Idaho . United States .

    How does he dates those arrowheads? If I had picked that rock up, I would not know that was a meat tenderizer. Wish there was an old guy like him explaining the likes of Antikythera Mechanism and Voynich Manuscript.

    • @Sykoangelo
      @Sykoangelo 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      to date a stone point you look at how it was made different time periods had different shapes and techniques....its pretty simple once you look at a few....theres clovis points (the oldest found in north america) palio points... quite a bit after the clovis days and the most modern arrow heads come from the Mississippian era just before the white people came here.... natives also found old points and collected them too... but the only way to date em is by the shapes and techniques
