Those cutaways just keep getting better. Those catalogues you showed sure are cool, amazing to see how much detail and quality used to go into things. That ending with that parade and the Sgt. gave me a laugh. Thanks for the show ScoutCrafter!

We're currently getting numerous programs commemorating eighty years since D-day (06/06/44) so many young lives given from so many allied countries to protect our nation and our freedoms - something we all should never forget !

That is so impressive. Beautiful work, I love all those cutaways. I have used that stile of flap sander 100's of times only with a 1/4" SS rod on a die grinder. You can also fold a .030 wire preferably welding rod in half put it in your vise an inch or so and chuck it in your drill and twist it. Now you can slip your sand paper in the slot and do a long curved tube. Works great when you have to slot the tube around the curve it cleans all the burs out.

Best valve yet. Thanks for the video even though it is Memorial Day. Your parade-- you're right. Better to not even look!

Our parade in the 1960s had 1000s of vets(Spanish American, WWI, WWII, Korea, and NAM), over 600 Boy Scouts and many marching bands. It was a big and interesting event. Our Scout Master was a west pointer so we drilled a lot before the parades each year. Don't even have a parade now. Partly the fault of the VFW who wouldn't accept NAM vets in the 60s and 70s.

Couldn't agree with you more - especially in a big city like NYC where many of the residents don't know or care what Memorial Day is even about! Different times. :(

My glands tell me to seal my mouth, but I shall still say it's a work of art. Nice cutaway. Wayne out West

Great show on this day to honor those who fought for the freedom we enjoy today

Ole Gunny what a character he was...what a part he played in full metal jacket...

What a great video, those valve cut-aways are just simply impressive. As good or better than anything we used to get from the factory for samples/show and tell. I really appreciate your kind comments about my video and the shout out/link, very kind of you to do that!

Those cut away valves are awesome, they should be on a display board. WOW, sounds like another project.

Scout, your work, enthusiasm and instruction with the valves is fantastic! Many thanks for your time.

John , pride needs to find its way back into peoples heart. We would not have litter all over the country side. I just brought home a bunch of motor manuels from a shop that has been liquidated. There is 3 for Volkswagens from the fifty’s. My late friends brother invented the hot water heater we enjoy today in our cars. He was working for Buick at the time and was rewarded with a brand new Buick. I do not remember is first name but his last name was Bohse. I believe the family lived in Dayton Ohio. I always take a magazine to doctors appointments. Everybody is on there phones. You do a great job on the cut always. You are a history teacher teaching common sense. Great show Thank you

I’m fascinated by these valve cutaways. Just seeing inside is great but the explanation of the inner workings is a whole area I was not familiar with. Sorry the parade isn’t up to snuff anymore. They can be very moving and inspirational if done correctly. 🇺🇸

Those cut-aways are just beautiful things. That parade is more like a walk around

Thank you for your service. Great job on the valve. 🇺🇸

That's a good tip with the wooden dowel

Very cool. I’m in Northern BC. We’re a little cautious about opening up our water valves for the exterior spigots before our May long weekend, because it likes to snow and maybe freeze. Lol. Not this year, just rain.

Hello John Hope you had a nice week end

Those chrome lights look like some extra fender mounts I helped install on a farm tractor in my younger days.
