Another great video. I worked at a talc plant. They used to use it as a filler in many products. It was always finely ground, and it was energy-intensive to produce.
We're all familiar with that pucker factor and yet we so often ignore it to our cost ! John certainly knew the right person to help him out on this one, great work, that Dake set-up had me on the edge of my seat ! Wishing you well with your new sleep regime John, it certainly takes time to retrain your body clock !
Thanks for the shout out! I need to get that old lamp cleaned up. Ahh. I remember the talcum powder. We used to lightly tap the container and make “smoke” that we no doubt breathed in! Great job on that wrench.
With the age of the wrench and the look of the assembly I would bet it is made from wrought iron. Great material for forge welding but won't take a temper. Also has a grain to it so it will bend one direction and crack if bent the other way. Coming up on spring cleanup/Poor Man's flea market time here in the mitten state.
For high school dances in the 80’s we’d put a little sprinkle of baby powder on each shoulder and brush it off, this way the girls head resting on your shoulder would think your clothes smelled awesome, along with all the cologne lol.
Thanks for the info on baby powder. Aircraft tire inner tubes are supposed to be installed with talc powder so many people have been using baby powder for decades. Not sure what cornstarch will do! I personally like installing them either dry or with automotive tire lubricants.
New York Fats was good but Willie Mosconi was the Man!! Willie lived a few miles from me as a Kid!! We use to see him once in a while, he was a real Class Act!!☻
Just moved my powder dispenser the other day where I had my pool table before it being moved upstairs... I dumped it out without thinking it had the good Talco powder stuff in it..smh... outstanding episode! You know Mr johnfix is gonna make that wrench look fantastic!! I look forward to it! Have a great weekend Mr John
Great job getting that wrench straightened out 👍 I would have never thought about leveling off the metal like that and probably would have bent it too much and ruined it 😮
I did order those channelocks 😂 Shipping and fees was almost as much for me as the price of the thing itself. I just couldn't help myself. I find that style of wrench cocked so often. There nothing I really know of how to improve them without a dake.. Early bird gets the worm John!
Long time silent viewer. Dale m. Here. appreciate your time,work an passion for tools. I'm going to start going through some tools I inherited and restore them, with some advice if you don't mind...
They knew there was asbestos in talc forever, but it didn't seem to harm babies for 100 years! Talc is great stuff. I make my own body powder with talc, calamine powder, and menthol crystals.... don't tell the authorities!
There is still demand from cosmetic companies. Mining for talc occurs in Montana. I know because my brother, a trucker, hauled it to California. Montana has talc and the back haul was beer.
Talc is still used quite a bit in many different areas, apparently it isn't the Talc that is harmful it's the asbestos that gets mixed in to the talc when mined.
I would've clamped that wrench on the press and HID! That's what I like about the several hundred ton hydro presses that they have a long cord so you can HIDE! There was a hydraulic boulder buster hammer at the quarry that had to be overhauled. The bosses made a 'wrench' that was a good 2 or 3 inches thick to loosen the nuts that held it together. Guess how that were going to turn the wrench. Yep. With a chain hooked to the bucket of the loader I was running. I got the chain tight and everyone else VANISHED. POOF/GONE! I eased backwards and the nut might've loostened, I can't remember. Anyway, they loaded it in a truck and hauled it up north and got it rebuilt at the factory. I don't like looking down the barrel on something like that. The grace of God that ANY of us are still here! Happy weekend, God Bless and they had talc mines all over Cherokee County, NC.

Apparently it isn’t the Talc that’s the issue, the Talc is mined in areas that also have asbestos and somehow the talc can become contaminated with the asbestos because it’s hard to separate. So Talc isn’t the problem.
Hey Scout I have a Bell systems screwdriver I found today I'd love to send you. Needs a bit of fettling but in good condition. How can I get it to you? Keep up the great work!
David- It’s hard to tell for me, back in the old days square threads were popular in high stress applications however they were a bit harder to cut due to the nature of the wall angle. Acme threads are strong also and became standardized by the early 1900’s. The funny thing is these threads look like square cut threads but I don’t know if it’s just wear over time or that’s the way they were cut! 😂😂😂👍
Hey John, this has nothing to do with today's video - sorry. I am a year younger than you. I have been collecting toys from our childhood. These 1960's battery operated toys dont operate even if the battery compartment is clean, like an old flashlight. My example is Billy Blastoff the space toy of our day. Every thing is clean in the battery compartment, but it does not operate. I am thinking you can figure this out
Dennis- Sometimes it's all about the connections. Those toys weren't made to last and sometimes the least expensive materials were used. When sitting for years the contacts would get oxidized and stop working. A continuity meter and some patience will show you where the voltage is stopping and where you need to re-establish a circuit. =D

I have experienced the pucker factor many times. Your photo illustrations were priceless!😆😆🤣

Some tricky bends in that wrench, pretty cool watching your process of straightening then flattening, nice job Scoutcrafter!

I got my hours all turned around since I retired too. I go to bed at 3 AM and I used to get up at 3 AM when I was working.
So funny. The pucker factor is real. But sometimes you just have to do the task, pucker or not. I really enjoy your work. Thank you.
All I could think about is all funny Tik Tok Osha videos. Great repair thanks for sharing your expertise
The "Poor Man's Flea Market" is known as the "Ghetto Giveaway" in my neighborhood.
New York Fats was good but Willie Mosconi was the Man!! Willie lived a few miles from me as a Kid!! We use to see him once in a while, he was a real Class Act!!☻
Willie taught Paul Newman how to play for that movie! 😃👍
I see behind the Dake you have one of those clever thread pitch checker.
Now i hear sawdust is bad and can cause cancer...next class action suit against wood !?!
Good job buddy! I thought you were going to shoot that wrench across the shop!!!!
"The Snoop" abides, thxs for sharing...

Your poolroom looks amazing Vic! 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter thank ya brother
Very nice job on the wrench. As you said, a high pucker factor with the Dake and the top jaw. Well done.
That is a terrific vintage wrench.
Dave.
Only on your channel would you discuss Talcum powder & fixing an 1800's wrench. Alongside Pucker factor. Superb !
Great job getting that wrench straightened out 👍 I would have never thought about leveling off the metal like that and probably would have bent it too much and ruined it 😮
Wow, really like the round handle on that wrench 👍
Great job as always M.t.A John.
Great repair! I would say the crack and weld repair came from whatever caused the bend in the top jaw and thread. Thanks for sharing this.
Taylor of Old Bond Street (British company) has a wonderful Sandalwood fragrance talcum powder.
That is a cool, handsome wrench. Can the manufacturer be determined? The nice thing about this video is we have tool people helping other tool people.
Pat- Maybe John Fix will know.
Uesd the powder for innertubes in motorcycle tires.
Great episode, I always enjoy watching the dake,that wrench definitely looks like it has some heft to it! Thanks again and see you Monday
John my 50 50 is made with mineral oil and trans fluid you should try it you will love it Brother

Alex- The first time you pop open a glue spout you will think that those pliers were definitely worth it! 😂👍

Nice job on that wrench
Great video. Thank you.

Squeaky floorboards or stairs? Try to get some talcum powder in the joints. It’ll work its way in and lubricate the squeak
That’s an old school fix that really works! 😃👍
There is still demand from cosmetic companies. Mining for talc occurs in Montana. I know because my brother, a trucker, hauled it to California. Montana has talc and the back haul was beer.
So Montana is shipping out talc, and getting beer in exchange?🥰 I'd say Montana is winning out on that situation. 😁
@@edwardschwenk3100 This was true 15 years ago. I don't know for sure now. Cosmetic companies need their stuff.
Talc is still used quite a bit in many different areas, apparently it isn't the Talc that is harmful it's the asbestos that gets mixed in to the talc when mined.
John, you put the wood down to protect the threads. Why don’t you have to do the same under the Dake’s piston?
Thanks for sharing!
Normally I try to protect all surfaces but this setup had a lot of slip potential so I tried to limit all the areas that could move. =D
@@ScoutCrafter makes sense! Not that you needed my approval, but as always, thank you for posting and keeping things real and amazing!
Another great show S.C. nice work on the monkey wrench!👍
The Dake...lathe and a welder three tools that turn you lose...sled next week..??? 🖖
Gotta love the Dake. Perhaps the Baby Powder would help with the "pucker factor"...
Vaseline! 😂👍
Have have great weekend everyone
Hard to believe that after all these years original baby powder is not safe. Is anything going to be safe? Nice repair on JohnFix wrench.
Hello John , nice job fixing the wrench 👍 (miracles happen every day) 😂😂😂😂😂
Idk about the dake press but batwoman karen ohare 🔥🖤
Batwoman was a welcome addition to the series when I was younger. =D

I think sometimes sketchy setups are a good substitute for cardio! 😂👍
It sure gets everything wound tight in a hurry!@@ScoutCrafter

Stuart- Can you drop me an email- bicycleguy@aol.com
Oh no John , does that mean that you're giving up the poor man's flea market
When the hot weather comes I always go back to nights. 😃👍
Gotcha 👍👍🔩🔩
Hey Johnson Baby Powder save me alot of times on hot days..
The talc recipe was better but now gone.
Totally agree,sir..@@ScoutCrafter
Hi Scout crafter I still buy collect and listen to CDs I have hundreds I wouldn't part with them unless I don't like the music on them.
I have my father’s collection. Tons! 🫣😂👍
Would you call that a flat thread on the wrench ?
That is called an ACME thread. I don't know the history of how it got that name though.
Thanks; I have acme thread on a few bookpresses that I own but still have trouble telling the difference.@edwardschwenk3100

Fantastic work scout man the size of the wrench was crazy super heavy
Xxxl great stuff god bless take care 48 /fjb 🙏🪖🇳🇿🇺🇸🗽🦅
I couldn’t believe the size/weight of that thing! 😂👍
