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.

Excellent Job, Looks great.

Dad had one of them ash trays, we would take it apart and play with the tire. Great video Scout!!

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!

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 ! 😂😂

They say that every thing you own will eventually own you!

Tools get old, but useful then they become obsolete.

"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

Did you see Jimmy Diresta redo 3 leather handled estwings?ua-cam.com/video/yEwsBrFPoq8/v-deo.htmlsi=Stz3HhW7lBi8xSMe

looks great john

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

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?

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

What did he say, I can't understand him 😮

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.

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.

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

A great restoration as ever. Well done.

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!

Analytics can be helpful. They are kind of addictive. If you aren't careful you end up trying to guess how to improve the numbers. You are just over double the subs that I have. I think you are doing fine the way you are. Minus the hack I was trending towards 20K subs by now. Fudge.....👹

Keep the flag. God bless America.

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

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

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.

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

Possum are nasty creatures. They are natures garbage men. They eat all kinds of decaying terrible stuff.

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!

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

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)

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

Do you use the regular Goop Hand cleaner or the Orange one to clean up the handles?

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 wife and I have possums and coons we feed. They are cute.

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 🇦🇺

Great stuff as usual!

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

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.

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.👍🏻💪🏻

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!!

The dividers came out really good.

Nice. I'd love to see you make a Delwin tip too!

Nice job,they look great

Another great video. Thanks.

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

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.

Loved the project John they came out amazing Love the brass and steel together really cool Have a great weekend god bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🇮🇱🪖🗽🦅🦔47/FJB🤬

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.

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.

Question if I may. When making the mineral oil/ petroleum jelly combo does it matter what brand I use? I was in target and bought a bottle of house brand mineral oil (says it’s a laxative) and a was about to pick up Vaseline but all they had was the house brand of PJ. Does it matter as in Heinz Ketchup vs all other imposters?
