    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!

    While the numbers don't show it, this is some really neat and interesting stuff.
    I love restoring and reclaiming old tools, but this is the lengths I wish I could go; I need a good spud wrench like that, and it being an antique while also restored is awesome.
    Plumbers call that a spud wrench, and use it to not mar finished trim or pump flanges; just like anyone else trying to not put tool marks on a project.
    Leave it to the manufacturers to convolude what's what.
    Calling adjustable wrenches spud wrenches; the spud has a 90° jaw to handle orientation, good grief, they just want the hits and advertising.
    Nice job, and thanks Jeremy.

    Great work, using the old bolt was a stroke of genius.

    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.

      Reduce, reuse, recycle. I do need to make it spill-proof though, it tends to fall over a lot.

    My monkey wrench, relatively new at somewhat more than five decades, is a Diamond 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.

    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.

    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.

    • @JeremyMakesThings

      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. I’ll refer you to this website for further reading: www.wordorigins.org/big-list-entries/monkey-wrench#:~:text=Among%20the%20likely%20origins%20are,up%20and%20down%20a%20tree.
