“Hand Tool Rescue”
This restoration is on a “ZON” bird cannon made by the B.M. Lawrence & Co. of San Francisco, CA, USA in the 1950s. This tool is also called an automatic scarecrow, carbide cannon, bird scarer, or orchard cannon and cost $60 USD in 1955 which is about $750 USD today. You can view the original…

nice work. Sometimes I held my breath and was actually not sure, if the tool you are currently restoring, or the way you work with electric tools is more dangerous. Initially I wanted to write as well, that restoring vintage tools does not necessarily require the use of vintage tools. Screwdrivers with wooden grips and a monkey wrench would cause me to stop the project instantly and go out to buy some proper tools, but then I saw in the last 10 seconds of the video, that you are actually selling this stuff. Never mind…
22:22 – is it a bird scarer?
calcium carbide isnt available via amazon in Canada?
Why food grade penetrating oil?
Next, you should restore the demon core.
I want one of those. I have a big can of calcium carbide
It's impressive enough that you take things apart, clean and put them together again. But the real impressive thing is that most of the stuff you do has been obsolete for so long, there aren't even people around to tell you what it is or how it worked in the first place (I assume). You just seem to figure out how things work.
The Barco tamper still has a much higher fun-to-danger ratio.
It just looks like an ACME product from those Road Runner cartoons
You might source Calcium Carbide at a Canadian Mining Supply.
We used Carbide Miners Head lamps in old Canadian Gold Mines.
A flock of Crows is called a MURDER. Now you know why. Google it!
In my misspent preteen years, I made Carbide Rockets.
I took an empty Vienna Sausage can and put a small nail hole in the bottom.
Then, I made a 4'' mud patch, dropped in 2-3 Carbide pellets and
put the can over the Carbide in the mud and waited until the white Acetylene gas came out the can's nail hole.
Then, with a 4' dry stick I lit ths gas and…BOOM.
The the can would go out sight up in the air.
When I got bored with the small 4oz can, I got a 14oz Apple Sauce can, put a nail hole in it and proceed to do the same. Apple Sauce cans are made of much thicker steel.
However on the first try the can fractured like a Hand Grenade.

When I finally get a chance to buy any of yours tools, I'm gonna do the broad sides in Dykem Blue or Dykem Red. The bluing (maybe? 🤷) has me motivated.
fully automatic spudgun minus some sort of hopper. I wonder in how many countries this would actually count as weapon. In mine 100%.
And now all of the Americans know why Canadian Geese migrate! HTR starts the migration season for them with this thing! 😂
