Just keep doing what you do. To me, the tool restorations are sometimes just the filler. It's your stories, knowledge and positive attitude that keep me coming back. As an example- I have a whole new view and appreciation for possums!! Have a great weekend ❤️🇺🇸

A great restoration as ever. Well done.

The little brass knob "turned" out great!

BTW, John, it's always a good afternoon to see a new scoutcrafter video coming across the screen! Pls keep 'em coming, and don't change your approach, everyone will enjoy them the way they are.

Awesome show today John!! Dividers and hammer turned out great! Thank You for sharing!

"Snoop" abides, so cool your "HEART" for all creatures, hope you get a pet out of your possum...thxs for sharing, hi Trixy and Pipes

Thank you, John, for another outstanding episode! Your channel is easily my favorite and it brightens up my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I really enjoyed seeing the tools with the problems detailed ahead of time and trying to predict how you would restore them. I am learning so much! Beautiful work! Very interesting to see the viewer stats. Your show is one of the few that my wife enjoys watching with me.

Excellent restorations. I really liked the idea of making the brass knob and fixing a bolt to it. I'll have to add that to my bag of tricks I learned here. Your analytics were interesting and thank you for sharing those. At the moment mine are 100% male and 99.9% (literally) are over 35. Interestingly the average view duration and average percentage viewed increases with age. LOL, the older you get, the more patient you are!

I restored an Estwing Drywall hammer to user state. You did an amazing job on that hammer.

Don't worry I'm usually watching at weird hours. I typically have the videos on loop the entire time I'm sleeping every night. 😂

Nice restoration on the two pieces. I was just thinking the first time I watched your channel you restored a hammer. I was also thinking about pride. When you buy a quality tool you would think the buyer would respect the tool. Very few use the tool for what they are intended. If you respect your tools you will have them a lifetime and be able to pass them on. My good habit is after I use them I clean them and put them back where they go. Thank you

I am glad to see the calipers and hammer done together and both of them look great! I was impressed with how you were able straighten the neck of the hammer out so well. Thanks for sharing this.

The demographics you showed I had no Idea that was available. Very interesting.

I always enjoy your video's! I love that you are a positive person which makes watching a pleasure! Keep it up and do what makes you happy. Life is too short to be negative.

Beautiful dividers great work 👍

Great show today fantastic restorations always a pleasure to watch you work. I watch all my KZfaq shows from from 5 to 7 AM because I'm the only one up so there's no interruption.

Thank you for all your videos which are a great source of inspiration and learning. Isabelle (from France).

Both came out great. I have an Estwing like the one you did with that color handle. It was given to me about 55 years ago by a contractor who had me doing framing for the first time. It's still my go to hammer.

Wow, those came out great! I never imagined that hammer twist would come out so easily!

Hi Scout. Nice Job on the Tools As Usual ! You're Right About the Estwing Hammer . It Was My Go To For Framing Houses 22oz, . Bigger Was 28oz. Vaughn Wooden Handle. By The Way Been A Tough Last 3 Weeks For Me As My Wife Passed Away. I'm Just Starting to Try And Enjoy My Hobbies As She would Want Me Too . Being Happy. That Includes YT Guys I Watch.

Hey, thanks for the tip on the creator stats! Representing the female subscribers. You are just lovely. Just checked my analytics on audience. LoL, 89% male. It’s because I focus on tool restorations, Shaper Origin, and hand tool wood/metal working.

I was just thinking about your upstate meadow. The council decided to do a similar project behind our house. It looked quite nice when the dandelions were flowering but after that there was just tall grass. Maybe it takes a while for the flowers to return after being mowed for 60 years or so. Or maybe we don't get them on our soil.

As always, nice restorations. Your viewers might find it interesting to see the hammer handle preferences of other viewers. I realized that I have hammer handles of all three types - fiber glass, wood, steel. I always liked fiberglass. In high school shop class, when we were working strap iron (actually strap steel), doing things like flaring the ends, we used fiberglass handled hammers on the anvil. I like feeling the fiberglass handle give when striking the steel. There is no wrong answer - just preferences.

Great show , very impressed with getting the Estwing straight! 🔨👍😊

I just stopped feeding possums in my back yard for the summer. I do not like raccoons and they eat the food I put out for the possums. Possums eat ticks and mice. I live on 5 acres and hope that the possums stay off the road. Excellent job on both the dividers and Estwing hammer!

Nice work! Can’t beat the Estwing hammer. Stay cool in the heatwave SC.

Good show today. Man what an adjustable wrench that was! Great job on the hammer, back into service!

Whatever you do John, please don't stop showing Old Glory at the end of your videos. Your videos are unique and fun to watch.👍🏻💪🏻

I never miss your vids! you got at least one sub here in Peru!

We can definitely commiserate on temps...😢 Mid 90's, HIGH Humidity, and the lows don't happen till 4:30/5:00am. Caught a glimpse and a Hello to a young possum here as well..."Hi Little Skeeter-Eater!" He ran under my back deck.

Wow, those dividers came out fan-friggin-tastic! I have six pairs of dividers and cannot get enough of a good pair. You sure classed it up with that knob!

looks great john

Estwing is my favorite hammer ! 22 oz. Waffle Face. Beautiful job on that Estwing. The dividers came out outstanding!

Nice job on the hammer and divider, I find it fun to be able to use old reconditioned tools, it’s a good feeling. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching. I have a name for your little Raccoon buddy, to me he looks like an Archie, don’t know why, but Archie popped into my head.😏😉😁

I think there's a pregnant one here too. The other night I heard an animal drinking the water I have out for them for several minutes, peeked out the window and it was a possum, I think she needed all that water for nursing.

This is another very eductional and entertaining video. Those rusty tools came out great, cheers !

Nice cleanup on those tools. My Estwing hammer is the same size and weight as yours. I really like it and my other Estwing tools, but you are right. This size is not the best size/weight for heavy duty work. Great for lots of household work.

So talented! Great work. I usually watch right after you post.

Female subscriber here! Army Veteran too! Love your channel. You have got me collecting and restoring tools and I love your channel so much!! Love to you from Ohio.

Missed commenting on the Mon & Wed videos but I watched them! 😅 Another great week of projects, ScoutCrafter! 👍🏻 Particularly enjoyed the Ramset hammer from earlier in the week and was hoping to see the cross peen hammer get restored as well but it didn’t make it in…hopefully soon. Have a great weekend, looking forward to next week’s projects!

Hi Scout, you’ve inspired me to get back into making videos again. Ignore the analytics and please don’t change as your channel is perfect just as it is. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

Love the dividers.

A hammer restoration with a twist, well done. The dividers look great, also.

Again another wonderful episode! Those hammers are very interesting! I check my analysis on my phone,but I will have to check it on wife's computer. Thanks again and see you Monday

Great restoration work on the dividers and hammer. That's some adjustable wrench that you have there. Accent, what accent? I dont hear it😂. Great video, stay cool.👍🏻🇺🇲

Great video 👍 Wow!,That $3 Estwing hammer 🔨 turned out Fantastic! I thought you were going to use the Dake on that twisted hammer,but you knocked it out 🥊 by hand twisting it back on the vise using that amazing 18” Crescent adjustable wrench 🔧. Again awesome job 🔥👍👍. Also for the condition it was in the handle came out amazing,looks fairly like new now,fantastic job. Those Sargent&Co. dividers turned out Fantastic. I like The knurled milled brass knob you made for the divider, I think that really gave that the finished touch for that tool. It does look better than the one that supposed to be on there,again awesome job 👍. Also that Ramset soft blow hammer you did Wednesday I think it turned out fantastic! 👍👍That Tamiya paint 🎨 color really pops on that hammer 🔨. They had some fantastic deals at that flea market you showed us on video. Another great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a great evening and fantastic weekend. 😃👍👍

The dividers came out really good.

Nice one John. I just happened to open KZfaq and your video had only been out 19 seconds, so I watched it, and now, just finishing up you have had about 175 views and 50 likes. I was heading to John Fix's channel when you interrupted, so now I will head his way. Have a great weekend.

Excellent Job, Looks great.

Short but sweet John, those baby Possums are cute, I bet they nip though ! Great work on the Dividers and Hammer, it looked to me like the head of the hammer was misaligned vertically too, but after you'd removed the twist it looked fine, the brass accent on the Dividers was spot on ! I guess there aren't that many women who search out this sort of content, but there are probably quite a lot of "secondary" subscribers like my wife who quite enjoy the channel but only partake vicariously !

Have a Fantastic weekend! 😊

Awesome restoration John 👍

Wow .. 1500 views from india... I thought I was the only one here from this part of the world... Keep up the good work

Nice job,they look great

Thanks for the answer. Another great video, you always do such great work. As always thank you for your time and knowledge.

Very nice work !!

What kind of maniac only has one hammer? 😂 I checked my analysis... wow. Love the opossum.

I enjoy a estwing hammer can't beat that one for 3 dollars I like the knob you made for the divider have a great weekend

Those dividers came out nice, Mr. John! I looked at that analytics stuff and mine said viewers were 100% happy I have different day job 😅 Have a great weekend brother!!

Thanks ScoutCrafter

Another great video. Thanks.

1st thumb up! Usually I am at work. My back is fracked up.

Great video. How many viewers live in Japan? I bet we are all retired U.S. military. Same for viewers in the Philippines.

I’m in Florida and understand you just fine…then again I did grow up in Queens

Saludos desde Argentina!!!!

Great stuff as usual!

Keep the flag. God bless America.

You just had to go and show me what that big adjustable wrench is best for. Now I have to go buy one. Luckily they aren’t that expensive ($50 at my local OSH)

Love the possums!

Hey! I'm must be that one guy who watches your videos at 2am! I think I keep the same hours as you. Loved seeing your little friends. Was wondering how they are doing. -Kevin, from Chicago.

Those came out well. Those poor Estwings get really abused. They use them for metal work, pry bars and what not. Rarely as a carpenter's hammer.

Hey John, They came out great. I"m surprised that you didn't change the screw on the fine adjustment to brass too. It would look so much better if you did make a knob for that too. Come on, you can do it - lol

If you want to include the ladies, do a review of oven cleaner. JUST KIDDING!

More animals!!

Have you ever done a restoration on a Yankee 1540, 1545, or 1555 eggbeater drills? They are the ones with the cool 5 position selector switch that's let's you ratchet clockwise, counter clockwise, forward, reverse and lock the chuck. When cleaned up, they operate as smooth as a sewing machine.

I see your brother's from another mother in the UK are your second biggest followers. Are you ever likely to visit ?

Huh, at 5:55 you’re all of a sudden talking like a machinist. Maybe I have not been subscribed long enough but I would love to see you at the metal lathe working that bar stock into a knurled knob

Gotcha boom 👍👍🔩🔩

Hi Scout. I Was Thinking About That Hammer Somebody Used As A Pry Bar Probably to Pull Apart Two Nailed Together Boards ! They Used Like A Breaker Bar Between the Two ! Slammed It In There With A Bigger Hammer ⚒️ ! How I know This ! 😂😂

Hey that's an idea! Just like George Harrison did The Concert for Bangladesh you should do "The 'Episode' for Bangladesh"!

Thumbs up for bringing out that monster adjustable wrench! Is it a Crescent? A few years ago I bought a "Pittsburgh" one for a water heater repair and ground off the China lettering because it bugged me.

The analytics are interesting. On the Sargent dividers, did you just tap a larger screw size in the same hole?

Please don't change anything. The background, the inserts, the flea market tours, the stories, the accent. Thank you From one of the supposedly few Hungarian viewers

So Scout do I hear a pink tool restoration tool kit in the near future?

Hi John, another great restoration, thank you. I have an inquiry for you, i purchased a box of tools today at auction for $10, in the box was a hammer that i had never seen before. It has a ball on both sides like a double sided ball peen hammer. Name on side say Brades 1943 and a symbol. Tried looking it up in google images and closest thing i could find was what was called a Polishing Hammer. Have you seen one of these hammers before? Curious to know what they were used for. In my mind i first thought i could use it to shape then sheet metal with a former to create convex shapes.

Hmm. It looked like there was a little bit of forward tilt to head of 10:44 the Estwing hammer. My imagination?

John, you're the bleeping man. I wonder if I can see the channels I've viewed the most. I'll look into that. Re. the hammer. Could it have broken at any point when you were twisting it? I'm really interested in metal properties. Have a fantastic weekend, brother.

Scout your accent makes the video's. Nothing like good ole NYC sarcasm.

Adam Savage made a custom phone/camera holder on his channel to film his show. What would a scout crafter camera buddy look like.

Hey, John, what do you usually use those soft blow hammers for? Auto bodywork maybe?

Love that Estwing, I have one that was my Grandfather's, it's my everyday use hammer.... but HOW THE F**K do you put a twist like that in an Estwing to begin with?

Hi Scoutcrafter that hammer could have been runover by some heavy equipment on a job site.

Is there a way to use a laser level to help rather than eyeballing it?

How would you clean up a Lufkin steel ruler, no.1176, or any folding steel ruler

I thought your accent was from Arkansas.

Hey John, one quick question (because now i am kinda curious): besides me, is there anybody else from Cyprus watching you?!?

Hot in the Basement? My Basement is the coolest place in my house. Are you running a dehumidifier?

John just over a month ago my girlfriend sat down on the front porch steps and put her hand on the railing(in the dark) and put her hand on a baby opossum. I was visiting my son in the hospital and she sent me a pic and said guess what we got. I kept him for 2 weeks and now my daughter has him. H e has a huge room to himself for quiet times and is awesome. I called him OPEE and if a girl OPAL both a play on "O" in Opossum.

So the next video goes over lipstick 💄 😂😂😂
