Vintage Monkey Wrench Restoration (Plus: Making a thread tap)
HTML-код

- I found this old monkey wrench in my parent's barn. I figured it would be a quick and simple restoration. I was wrong. I ended up making a thread tap for an oddball thread on the screw, which was something new for me.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money. Хобби
Great work, using the old bolt was a stroke of genius.
There are a lot of things I like about your videos. One of my favorites is the screwups that pass without comment. Hilariously perfect, and genuinely humble to boot!
Talk about amazing work.
Making a tap is at a whole other level
I like how you go into deep detail on what tool you’re using. Rather than just telling us to “look for the details in the description”
Beautiful job Jeremy! This has to be the best and most detailed wrench restoration video i have ever seen! And ive seen at least 40 plus wrench restoration videos. Great job bro! And love the extra work you put into making it function better than it ever did. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing and the filming of it all. Take care bro.
I'd say it's better than new, excellent job man...
Awesome! Love the wrench. 👍
That door knob is a great oil can!
Reduce, reuse, recycle. I do need to make it spill-proof though, it tends to fall over a lot.
@@JeremyMakesThings would you be willing to make me a handle? Im doing a similar restoration and I can send the cad file, walnut blank and some cash? Let me know.
i think the wrench was made by the Diamond tool company
Diamond T truck wrench? Model T''s and a's had them in there tool kits
Great job buddy 👍
nice vintage look to it
PERFECT !
What is the soaking solution used to remove rust.
Evaporust
I think it's a Dimalloy maybe Diamalloy brand?
F-ing machinist lol. Excellent attention to detail, brilliant tutelage without a fuss, and I just can’t get over the precision wood turning. Keep it going and get yourself a few apprentices, a dying breed you are.
Are you ever gonna get that collet unstuck from your mill?
Doubtful.
@@JeremyMakesThings I seem to recall Mr. Pete doing a video on a set screw in the quill nose that can cause tool holders to get stuck. It didn't look like a hard fix.
That's an acme thread. It's designed for travel and not tightening. The crest is supposed to be flat as to avoid wear as it would if it were a regular thread. Same thing as a ball screw on a machine like your lathe or mill.
A monkey wrench...
your videos are pretty cool for sure. you are very talented without a doubt, one thing, Can you lose the term "Monkey Wrench"? The origin of the term is a very awful one. Thanks for posting, I know how hard it is to produce videos.
There are several false origins for the term “monkey wrench,” some with racist connotations (if you’re referring to the boxer Jack Johnson, the term pre-dates him by about 100 years)- but the reality is no one knows for sure when, where, or why the term came into being.
