I got some anti-fatigue matting from work recently, the company I work for had just bought some new mats in and I rescued one of the old ones from the skip. It is now in my workshop and, man, does it make a difference in there. A very interesting video, many thanks.
I've had the same experience with those plastic cutters -I have one in a tool box with a piece of tape on it marked "use table saw". I can't just get rid of it because I'm afraid I'll forget they don't work and buy a new one the next time I need to cut plastic! LOL Thanks to Tony for the link - I've already put it to use!
Hi scout, you could tell Sue was over the moon whith Howdy Doody, well done my friend, I bet that poor little hammer was crying as you left Lowes, don't you just feel bad ,lol. I've sometimes had to go back the day after to pick a tool up ,so I could sleep night's, I think we need help,Haha. My only atempt at cutting plexiglass was whith a scroll saw, a few seconds into the cut and the blade welded itself in, I will try the table saw method next time, thanks. Kind regards .Stuart.
Hi Stuart! LOL You know when I was reviewing the tape for the video, I looked closely and saw $2.49 and yelled out loud! LOL Not that I need a cheap hammer mind you but how can you pass on a deal like that? Without knowing that's how! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant Mish Mash Monday!. I use an Eclipse hacksaw, bought for dad by his uncle in 1937 and still working fine. If you find one, well worth picking up. I agree so much on the magnetic pick up tool is a lifesaver.
Hey Scoutcrafter, I just wanted to say I’m loving these mish mash Monday videos!! My all time favourite video is still your workshop tour. I can’t wait for more of your shop tour videos. P.s. thanks for sharing the link about the tool catalog. I never knew about it either.
Hello ScoutCrafter! I checked out the catalog really cool. I have a story about Stanley Tools. They made MATCO screwdrivers and when I worked for my auto tool manufacturing place we obtained the stanley screwdriver business. The brought a bunch of stainless tables and they must have struggled making screwdrivers. The tip was inserted in a handle BY HAND! (must have used a hammer) We made a machine that used a air cylinder to press the handles on and improved the machine that pressed the label into the handle. Just letting you know for a time I made Stanley screwdrivers. WOW good tip on the plexiglass..
Great mish mosh! I ruined a whole sheet of plexi not too long ago, thanks for the tip. I had no 8dea about the tool catalog...how cool. Thanks again. Cheers
I can wholeheartedly agree on the anti fatigue mats. Some people age like a fine wine. Apparently I age like milk. I need things like mats more and more with each passing project.
Wow, lots of great information! The tip on cutting Plexiglas was really useful. I too have never heard of the tool catalog website until now. I will check it out.
Incredible resource!!! Thanks again for excellent content ScoutCrafter! If you check out the first Plomb catalog....go to soft blow hammers.....RED translucent heads!!! Pretty cool stuff!
Looking back I feel sorry for the kids today... Even though they have great stuff they miss out on so much! I guess it was the same for our parents! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve turned wrenches all my life & ive come to learn that the feel of a tool in my hand is important. I’ve never liked the raised panel tools. They are uncomfortable to the hand especially when you’re really pulling or pushing on them. I’ve opted to buy smooth tools such as those ratchets you pointed out. If I was still in the business I’d go buy one of those.
My brother in law Ewald works for Zotefoams. They make all kinds and grades of foam. The basic blocks that are the result of making closed cell foam are called buns. The buns haveva tough layer on the outside that has to be skived off. That waste foam makes excellent shop mats. Ewald got me several. In Coldwater one of the companies, Voltek, made foam for the athletic equipment market. Any buns that were not perfect were tossed. Coldwater is surrounded by lakes. Soon the buns were on every beach. At 235 lbs I could stand in the center of one of the 4'x6'x4" buns like standing on a dock. Now I see the bunns on the shores of lake Michigan. 😆
Wow! Sounds like a great product! Shop mats are one of those things that you hate to spend the money on but are so useful! I guess Ewald never was able to have one of those bicycle license plates that had his name embossed on it... =D Thanks Dave!!!!!!
It would be nice if Craftsman brought back their made in the USA line like old times. Stands to reason that they would attract more customers that way. That's what people want. The made in the USA aspect. On another note that Starrett saw is niiiiiice!
Mish mosh Mondays are great. Nice tip on the plexi cutting and magnets. I use them on my machine tools for quick and easy cleanup. It's getting hard to find 10 inch hacksaw blades anymore. My monkey wards power hacksaw only has a 10 inch arbor bur Sterrett still is a good source for them. Happy Monday, thanks for the video!
Hi George! You know for a long time 10" blades were like Hen's teeth but then all of a sudden eBay is flooded with them! You just have to buy NOS and usually by the box! However look again I think you will be surprised! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
An excellent video John. I will use your method for Perspex in future. You guys are spoiled for choice in the States compared to what we get in Oz. A few years ago my wife and I did a cruise around Hawaii and she was not to impressed when I made a bee line for Walmart and then spent ages in a tool shop. The crew on the ship looked at me like I was weird when they looked in my bag when re-boarding and there were no trinkets just tools. They decided to hold onto the circular saw blades until the end of the cruise, just for safety reasons, but we all had a good laugh about it. I have to say John, Americans really “get” customer service as everywhere we went people were very friendly and helpful. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Hi Stuart! Actually Hawaii is a little pricey too because of shipping expenses... I was shocked to see how much tools cost in Australia! Wow! I can't see the reason for some of the high prices. If you ever get a chance to visit the heartland of the USA you will really see amazing prices!!!! =D Thanks Stuart!
Excellent! I have struggled with plexiglass! I've avoided it for that reason. The Catalog Library is a gem! I will browse that site for a few months! Thanks for sharing.
I like that Lenox hacksaw, with the flush cut and the blade storage. I have a few times where I stop a project looking for blades in storage or dig for them out of the bottom of the tool box.
I've got one of those irwin fiberglass hammers. They're nice. I usually get those plumb ones because of the soft end. Good for pushing trim down, or bumping things. The Irwin has a hard plastic end on the handle.
John great tip on the plexi cutting. I cut windows for my welding helmet when need be and I'm always that guy with a box cutter, struggling. I will definitely use the table saw to score it next time.
@@ScoutCrafter yeah but I have to fab up something to make the blade fit the arbor. As it is the hole in the blade is about a good 16th bigger than the arbor.
Yes they are pricy but when on sale or bought in a set the price is very reasonable, but like most Craftsman tools alone they are high!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Education Scout!!... Great Vid!!! ...and that International Tool Catalog Library is just ridiculously cool!! I'll be using that for research in the future for sure :]
Hi Scout Crafter I used to cut glass and sometimes plexiglass for a living your method with the table saw works great. We didn't have a table saw we did the score and snap method the trick is you score it multiple times get as deep a grove as you can then snap it over the edge of a table. another way is you use a jigsaw get someone to spray water with a spray bottle where you are cutting so it doesn't melt back together
Hello David! LOL! When trying other methods I often melted the plastic back together!!! =) I thought it was me!!!!! LOL The table saw method works awesome but can only make straight cuts! Thanks David!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter lexan is about twice the price of plexiglass and is way stronger the score and snap method doesn't work but you can saw it with any circular saw band saw even hand saw you don't even have to be gentle it won't crack.
Hi,, many thanks for the link to the tool catalogue library, I'll have a good long look later, but couldn't resist a quick peek at the Dake catalogues,, ha ha,, Atb,, buddy,, (ps, just picked up the Wiha 26 in 1 ultra driver, they're fantastic, ! )
Hey John great video it’s weird I’ve just bought that exact same Hack saw from the Stanley Black & Decker store out let Close to me and they just started selling some Dewalt and Lenox and Irwin Tools it’s weird how you are drawn to the same things funny 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah Scoutcrafter, we use craftsman in the fire dept. Often wondered what would happen if they sold out to China. We need good quality but affordable tools. Hand tools are often used for auto extrication or taking a machine apart where someone has their hand entrapped, etc. Glad to hear that they switched to Taiwanese. You finally got the Lenox hacksaw. 👍 Great tips on plexi. Thanks for the informative vid. Mike
Hi Mike!!! My Dad always bought Craftsman and he was a gorilla yet never busted one... =) I always liked their line and warranty... I only wish they would come back to the USA! =) Thanks Mike!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video today. I really like that hack saw! In the intro you are standing in front of a mish-mosh of aerosol and cans of stuff. Maybe someday you could explain or review all those cans and their uses. I recognize most but there are some that are? I also saw the irons on the bottom shelf. Those are the fancy kind. You heat up several and swap the handle to the next one when the first one cools down. Those are pretty cool. Thanks again!
Hi Mark! You have good eyes! I will have to go over the lubes and sprays! I always liked a good lubricant! The SAD irons were really interesting, I have a really interesting collection of vintage Irons, I don't know why but always found them interesting! =) They make great weights for glue ups too!!!
GREAT vid to day John! I learned a lot. In fact I am kicking myself b/c I never knew what the angled pin on a hacksaw was there for! I have an inexpensive, and old hacksaw with this on it and remember seeing it, but not paying any attention to it🙄. Do you see an advantage to your new Lenox saw vs the older one at 3:48 with the red knob on top? I have been looking for one like the red knob for use..
We used byrilliam (sp?) tools in the Navy on the P-3 Orion to work on the Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) System, as they are non-magnetic. You can't use magnetic tools on that system. We did have to be careful of any dust generated by the system. As you pointed out, it is VERY toxic! Hadn't seen anyone else ever use them. Goid memories. Thanks.
Hi Richard! That sounds amazing! I was surprised to see how many different tools were made from Copper Beryllium! They feel pretty heavy too! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Ours were kept in their own box, segregated from regular tools, checked out when needed, then returned to the tool room. If I remember, the set was very basic, pliers, crescent wrench, a couple of screwdrivers, and a few open end wrenches. Just what you needed for that specific system. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work.
I too have used my bandsaw for cutting Plexiglas however there are some mystery plastics out there that look like the good stuff but is greatly inferior! (ask me how I know) =) We wonder why the real stuff is so expensive? Well try working with the cheap stuff and you will see! LOL Thanks!
7:38 i got one of those for my sister to pick up metal dog food lids she leaves in her driveway, and she never picks them up, she lets her dogs lick the cans etc..
@@ScoutCrafter There are even german catalogues there. Even really old ones, one is from the 19th century. Some are multi-language (english, french, german).
hack saw blades are good to reuse for different stuff. like when i was in high school taking woods class they had a 2x4 with a old hack saw blade screwed to it and you can now slip sheets of sand paper under it and cut off what you need kinda the same idea as aluminum foil how it cuts off. i always thought that was such the neatest thing i seen to recycle a used wore outish hack saw blade. im sure you can use a new one if you wanted to
Hello Steve! ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! I never throw out a used hacksaw blade! So many uses! Even for shim stock! That is good old fashioned frugalness! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!
Hello Scout I've never tried cutting plexiglass on the table saw.. but I do cut my plexiglass on my tile cutting table saw and it comes out just like that.. God bless you family and friends.
Really love that Lenox hacksaw! It’s so sexy! I have the same one, haven’t used it yet thought. Check out the Facom 603F hacksaw. Now that is a lovely piece.
hello Aryan! WOW! Looks like the sports car of hacksaws! LOL When you aren't using it you can hang it in the living room as art! =D Nice! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Taiwan is one of the top tool manufacturers today! Real quality and no junk... Unfortunately China can't be trusted, some manufacturers in China will cut corners when ever possible. =) Thanks!!
OMG! You need to stop making videos! I won’t have time to watch any more, I’ve got over 3000 catalogues to read. What a brilliant link, thank the Tony and John for this link, I really don’t know if you realise just how great that is, it is amazing and extremely well created. Thank you
Thank God she isn't a collector! Or else I would be in trouble!

I never understood hacksaw frames as the blade fits on a pin and does not always sit perpendicular and it does not matter how tight the blade is. Both ends should be clamped solid. Your anti fatigue mats are awesome but how do you keep them so clean? My floor gets covered in oily filings, sawdust dirt and it sticks to everything.The other tool you need with the magnetic pick up is the long claw to pick non magnetic parts, A flexible shaft with a button you press to open the claw to grab the part. Looking forward to tomorrows and Wednesdays videos.
Hi Tony! You’re right! They can get messy! I don’t have them in the grinding, buffing and sawing section because of that! The pick-up Claw is awesome too! Great for Brass or Aluminum! Lol. Every time a pick-up tool saves the day I always think “Best $4 I ever spent”. 😃👍
Lol you must have a lot of hammers to pass up a deal like that! I myself have been looking into a new style hacksaw for metal, that lenox is really nice I like the fact it stores the extra blades to keep it all together. Maybe we can see you're craftsman tools that are deemed collectables or have cult followings eventually on a mish mosh.. Try out the feet mat's at HF those are really nice, I been meaning to get a couple squares of it. Man I will be spending a lot of my future time on that new website, gotta love the internet! Thanks for the great video Scout! btw check out the channel "garage flips" and go to the video he recently posted - once in a lifetime find. You'll be amazed as to what he found.
Spoiler alert on the wensday video! Ha, great video, I really enjoyed the trip to Lowe's. Hopefully in a few years I can visite it myself (I am very interested in Tractor Supply too, When I was in the US, I think I've seen one/a few but was thinking it was all agricultural big machinery, wich on second tought I find very interesting aswell)
Hi Alex! This Lowes in upstate NY is especially nice with a huge selection of tools and very well run! Plus they are always running sales and very friendly staff! Well worth a visit! Thanks Alex!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip on cutting plexiglass. Glad you liked the tool catalog link.
Tony! Again, from all of us! Thanks so much for sharing that!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Tony and John for the wonderful info!
Tony Lenge WHOA! That is a cool link! I tooled around in there for a few minutes. Fantastic! Thanks!

John, Your shop is looking great !
Thanks so much Dean! Lots of cleaning still to do! =)
I can wholeheartedly agree on the anti fatigue mats. Some people age like a fine wine. Apparently I age like milk. I need things like mats more and more with each passing project.
Hi Allan! Those mats aren't cheap but well worth the money!!! Thanks!!!!!
That hammer was a great deal. The one I fiture on my last video lowes doesnt have it any more. Makes it more special to me or any collector

Hi Mike!!! My Dad always bought Craftsman and he was a gorilla yet never busted one... =) I always liked their line and warranty... I only wish they would come back to the USA! =) Thanks Mike!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video today. I really like that hack saw!
In the intro you are standing in front of a mish-mosh of aerosol and cans of stuff. Maybe someday you could explain or review all those cans and their uses. I recognize most but there are some that are?
I also saw the irons on the bottom shelf. Those are the fancy kind. You heat up several and swap the handle to the next one when the first one cools down. Those are pretty cool.
Thanks again!
Hi Mark! You have good eyes! I will have to go over the lubes and sprays! I always liked a good lubricant! The SAD irons were really interesting, I have a really interesting collection of vintage Irons, I don't know why but always found them interesting! =) They make great weights for glue ups too!!!
Boy, that is a lot of Mish Mosh, THANK YOU
LOL Yes Dale it was a mouthful today! Tomorrow my first ever unboxing,,, =)
@@ScoutCrafter Excellent Scout, I always dig your videos, like I said before, you would be a great next door neighbor.
Thanks for infor...on Tool catalog
GREAT vid to day John! I learned a lot. In fact I am kicking myself b/c I never knew what the angled pin on a hacksaw was there for! I have an inexpensive, and old hacksaw with this on it and remember seeing it, but not paying any attention to it🙄. Do you see an advantage to your new Lenox saw vs the older one at 3:48 with the red knob on top? I have been looking for one like the red knob for use..
We used byrilliam (sp?) tools in the Navy on the P-3 Orion to work on the Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) System, as they are non-magnetic. You can't use magnetic tools on that system. We did have to be careful of any dust generated by the system. As you pointed out, it is VERY toxic! Hadn't seen anyone else ever use them. Goid memories. Thanks.
Hi Richard! That sounds amazing! I was surprised to see how many different tools were made from Copper Beryllium! They feel pretty heavy too! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Ours were kept in their own box, segregated from regular tools, checked out when needed, then returned to the tool room. If I remember, the set was very basic, pliers, crescent wrench, a couple of screwdrivers, and a few open end wrenches. Just what you needed for that specific system. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work.
I have always had good luck cutting Plexiglass with a bandsaw, use a coarse blade like for wood. Hundreds of aircraft windows with no chipped corners!
I too have used my bandsaw for cutting Plexiglas however there are some mystery plastics out there that look like the good stuff but is greatly inferior! (ask me how I know) =) We wonder why the real stuff is so expensive? Well try working with the cheap stuff and you will see! LOL Thanks!

Taiwan tools can be very nice. Just don't try to sell them at a Snap On price. I don't do tool trucks at all.
@@upsidedowndog1256 Same here... If I can't exchange a tool at a store the warranty is useless! =)
Thanks to you and Tony for sharing that library link. How cool is that???
Hi Brian! That catalog is the internet at its best! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Great tip on the plexiglass and tool catalogue! I think maybe you should run back upstate and get that hammer before one of your viewers does!!!
Can you believe $2.49! I saw it when making the video and thought DOH!!!!! LOL Thanks NN!
7:38 i got one of those for my sister to pick up metal dog food lids she leaves in her driveway, and she never picks them up, she lets her dogs lick the cans etc..
LOL They are really handy!
A little taste for everyone!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hi Alan!!!!! This was a lot of stuff! LOL =) Thanks so much!
The site is really cool!
Hi Marcel! To be honest I figured you of all people would already have seen it! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter There are even german catalogues there. Even really old ones, one is from the 19th century. Some are multi-language (english, french, german).
@@Marcel_Germann The best part is we can enlarge them and print them if needed! =)
hack saw blades are good to reuse for different stuff. like when i was in high school taking woods class they had a 2x4 with a old hack saw blade screwed to it and you can now slip sheets of sand paper under it and cut off what you need kinda the same idea as aluminum foil how it cuts off. i always thought that was such the neatest thing i seen to recycle a used wore outish hack saw blade. im sure you can use a new one if you wanted to
Hello Steve! ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! I never throw out a used hacksaw blade! So many uses! Even for shim stock! That is good old fashioned frugalness! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!
Hello Scout I've never tried cutting plexiglass on the table saw.. but I do cut my plexiglass on my tile cutting table saw and it comes out just like that.. God bless you family and friends.
Hi Reynaldo! The Carbide tipped blades are amazing! They cut thru anything! 😃👍. Thanks!
Really love that Lenox hacksaw! It’s so sexy! I have the same one, haven’t used it yet thought. Check out the Facom 603F hacksaw. Now that is a lovely piece.
hello Aryan! WOW! Looks like the sports car of hacksaws! LOL When you aren't using it you can hang it in the living room as art! =D Nice! Thanks!!!!!!!!
you can also download the catalogs as a pdfs
7:40 . this portion of today's video brought to you by Dr. Ruth ;p .
And the Taiwan craftsman is totally better than chineseium craftsman for sure...the polishing is awesome
Taiwan is one of the top tool manufacturers today! Real quality and no junk... Unfortunately China can't be trusted, some manufacturers in China will cut corners when ever possible. =) Thanks!!
OMG! You need to stop making videos! I won’t have time to watch any more, I’ve got over 3000 catalogues to read. What a brilliant link, thank the Tony and John for this link, I really don’t know if you realise just how great that is, it is amazing and extremely well created. Thank you
Great video but.. is your significant other a collector if so does she have her own barn! Haha keep em coming!
Thank God she isn't a collector! Or else I would be in trouble!
I never understood hacksaw frames as the blade fits on a pin and does not always sit perpendicular and it does not matter how tight the blade is. Both ends should be clamped solid. Your anti fatigue mats are awesome but how do you keep them so clean? My floor gets covered in oily filings, sawdust dirt and it sticks to everything.The other tool you need with the magnetic pick up is the long claw to pick non magnetic parts, A flexible shaft with a button you press to open the claw to grab the part. Looking forward to tomorrows and Wednesdays videos.
Hi Tony! You’re right! They can get messy! I don’t have them in the grinding, buffing and sawing section because of that! The pick-up Claw is awesome too! Great for Brass or Aluminum! Lol. Every time a pick-up tool saves the day I always think “Best $4 I ever spent”. 😃👍
We need to get a catalog of deadly nuns from the 1950-1970 years, title could be " Discipline with rulers and Nun-chucks" 😜
LOL Sister Vianny would be right there!!!!
Sister Catherine used a metric rule,more leverage,lol.
Now boys!! :-)
@@wildonpriddy1800 LOL!
Any flea market or show videos coming up in the near future ?
Monster Mosh!
LOL!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter :D
Love the mish mash Mondays.
Thanks William!
yeah...magnetic tools...my main use, damn wire wheel
LOL That sound the part makes as it shoots across the shop ricocheting against everything in sight like a pinball! LOL
Lol you must have a lot of hammers to pass up a deal like that! I myself have been looking into a new style hacksaw for metal, that lenox is really nice I like the fact it stores the extra blades to keep it all together. Maybe we can see you're craftsman tools that are deemed collectables or have cult followings eventually on a mish mosh.. Try out the feet mat's at HF those are really nice, I been meaning to get a couple squares of it. Man I will be spending a lot of my future time on that new website, gotta love the internet! Thanks for the great video Scout! btw check out the channel "garage flips" and go to the video he recently posted - once in a lifetime find. You'll be amazed as to what he found.
Hi Doug! Thanks so much! Will check it out!!!!!
Heard the other day that Lenox hacksaw blades was the way to go.?.?
Hi Lloyd! I always liked Lenox products, I too heard their blades were highly recommended... Thanks!!!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Spoiler alert on the wensday video! Ha, great video, I really enjoyed the trip to Lowe's. Hopefully in a few years I can visite it myself (I am very interested in Tractor Supply too, When I was in the US, I think I've seen one/a few but was thinking it was all agricultural big machinery, wich on second tought I find very interesting aswell)
Hi Alex! This Lowes in upstate NY is especially nice with a huge selection of tools and very well run! Plus they are always running sales and very friendly staff! Well worth a visit! Thanks Alex!!!!!!
Did my eyes deceive me? 50,000psi written on that hacksaw frame?
Hi Jim! That's what it says but who's going to question them? LOL
