Man, I have missed the good, Old-fashioned, Wranglerstar tool restorations. That and the woodshop in general. A lot pf good is done there. I stull love the new content too. But you can't beat the old tool and shop talk! God Bless you, Wranglerstar's!!!
kinda new to your channel, very inspiring to watch!! I am a pipe fitter/fabricator, I work in the oil refineries and chemical plants in southern Louisiana and Mississippi. I have worked with a great man who mentored me, and said my generation was wasteful, and subject came up over a framing square, which wasn't square anymore. he showed me how to fix it rather than throw away and buy a new one which led to the "wastful" comment and conversation. I really wish I had more time to learn from him, we really take for granted priceless education that comes free if we just learn to accept it. thank you for educational videos I really believe there's something bigger here than learning to fix old tools and tips and tricks!!! best wishes for you and your family!
Back to the shop. My favourite. Because of your love and pride for projects like this over the years Cody. I cherish the few things of my grand fathers that much more. Can’t beat a file and Boiled linseed oil. 👍
I'm an atheist and I thoroughly enjoy the wholesomeness of your videos. You and I have a lot of interests in common, and we share many core values. As a 20 year old growing up in the evergreen washington state, I aspire to develop a manly wealth of wisdom as I age, such as you have. Keep up the awesome work. I wish your family all the best!
When I went to Vietnam I enlisted with quite a few Atheists. After surviving a few life threatening confrontations as our time there progressed. There were none among us at our discharge signing. Not saying anything other than once you have been tested beyond anything you might feel capable of. You only think that your an Atheist. 🙏
One of my fondest memories as a child was sitting on the garage floor while my grandfather would tinker away on whatever needed fixing. I'd have a handful of nails and a scrap piece of wood. I would just hammer nails for hours while watching him work! I hope that I can give my grandchildren the same experience. Thank you for bringing me back to that garage.
I worked in an Auto Body Shop for fifteen years. Myself and the other guys would wet sand our hammers with 2000 grit sand paper to polish the face of our hammers. They look brand new. Nice job
Thanks Cody! I really enjoyed your Manly Manners this in this episode. My wife was sitting with me while I was watching your video and she agreed with me that we're both guilty of criticizing each other in front of friends and family. We agreed that we should try to watch ourselves and not do that anymore. Just try to be more respectful of each other. We've been together since 2000 and married since 2010. Just goes to show that you can always learn new things at any age. Thanks again!
I love these tool restorations, they make me want to restore something myself. I have a Pulaski just waiting to be restored. Hopefully I can get to it soon. :)
Your craftsmanship and recording have come so far from the early days. I love this stuff. God bless you and your family, Cody. I didn't have much of a dad growing up to teach me these ways, so I appreciate these videos to the fullest. God bless.
Mr. Wranglerstar, I have always thought that your videos were very entertaining. Every video you make has a moral to it. I think that is really cool. I have learned so much from all of your videos on how to fix things and how to make myself a better self. I would like to say Thank You.
*I'm an agnostic and your content or the little mentions of your faith don't turn me off at all. Your content is great. Your a very talented dude and I enjoy learning from your videos, faith or not. Keep it up!*
Got my great grandfather's hammer and it's exactly like this. Home made handle too. The handle is still as strong as ever too. It's truly quality unlike anything made today.
With appreciation for this video, and with respect, I wish to offer three things, in this order of importance. And to anyone who already observes them, you are counted among the wise. •Cody is right about the treatment of our wives. Personally I never put my wife down. Also, If we are visiting others, and she wants to tell a story, I never correct her. Compared to our relstionship, it's NOT that important. Follow these leads in similar subjects for a happier marriage. •My thanks to Cody for taking a moment to mention file maintenance. All files need cleaning, including the most neglected one, your CHAIN SAW file!! •Concerning that bench grinder and the grinding wheel that was on the left side: those wheels are porus. This is a reminder to anyone who is not experienced in shop work -- NEVER put soft metals to those wheels! Aluminum, brass, lead, (yes, even wood) will just clog up the pores in the wheel and make it useless.
Amen! on your comments regarding the manly manners. Sounds like you and I are the same when it comes to our wives. When it comes to relating to ANY other person, my wife is held in the highest regard. As far as everyone else is concerned, she has no faults. I never say anything negative about her, I never mention any shortcomings or idiosyncrasies and I never use her as the punch line of a joke, unless the joke makes her look even better. That's how much I love her. Beautiful work on the hammer head. I want to say that I really appreciate that you decided to get the really good stuff when it comes to your videography equipment. Those closeup shots are awesome! I've always loved the way you elaborate when you go through the particular motion, in this case filing the ball of the hammer. I also love the your attitude on collecting old tools. You collect them to use, not to just keep. And what would your videos be without some loctite every once in a while...
You really shine in these type videos, they are your forte. The only thing I struggle with is erasing the dings on the end. They were put there by your grandfather, it was his signature.
While building my house in 88 I broke the handle on a 16 oz. Stanley hammer that had been my grandfathers. I chose to use a fiberglass replacement handle for expedience. I don't know when my grandfather purchased it but it, along with a Craftsman Drill press that he purchased are at least as old as me, 68 years. He was more of a craftsman then me. During WWII, while stationed in Honolulu as as SEABEE, he made a jewelry box of local teak. He made it in the form of a steamer trunk with a domed top. He used sheet copper and copper wire to form hinges and a hasp as well as banding and corner protection. I've treasured it all my life.
Amen to not having tools for a collectible. We had a bunch of fishing gear. I took an original zebco 33 that belonged to my grandpa which was broken, fixed it with parts from one of my dad's original zebco 33 reels, but added a larger crank handle from one of my broken more modern zebco 33 reels. Best reel i ever owned and it represents 3 generations of our family! Sentimentality has met functionality. 3 broken reels made one perfectly working reel. Love your channel.
We used to laugh at the ubiquitous Zebco closed faced reels back when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. Damn things won't die, though...Mine have outlasted the Daiwas and Shimanos.
@@turnersparadise8368 i need a couple new ones. Not a fan of the 1990's models. Switched mainly to spinning reels now. But that 1959 reel i have is still the best in my arsenal! Best of all 100% american made... Except for that handle i threw on it. Good reels are hard to come by anymore.
Thanks, Cody, quality info from the Wranglerstar homestead. I've got a pile of hammers from my father and grandfather to restore now. Well, maybe I'll do one or two this winter.
I bought those soft jaws a few years ago on your recommendation for my vise, as I don’t have a wood working vise yet. By far one of the best inexpensive tool related things you have recommended.
I have really enjoyed the videos you have done on your grandfathers tools. I’m sure I do t have to tell you to treasure them. I received many of my grandfathers tools and unfortunately they were all stolen. But I do have some of my wife’s grandfathers tools that we really treasure. After watching this I’m going to restore one of his ball peens. Thanks so much for the content, God bless
I really liked this manly manners segment and think we can relate it to Corinthians 13:4-7 in the Bible. “(Love) ...does not dishonor others... it always protects, always trusts...” Honor the one God put by your side. Thanks for the reminder, Cody. Greetings to you and Mrs. W., God bless your family.
I’ve been a subscriber for years and I’m glad to see this video get posted. I haven’t been excited about the more recent videos and this one seems closer to the videos that got me to subscribe in the first place. Thank you!
With regard to Jordan Peterson being christian or not I think the reason he is so careful to not make any statements about his faith or potential lack there of is that he is very particular with the meaning of words. Ive seen people ask him in interviews several times if he was religious or not based on his deep interest in the subject and he almost always responds by asking what they mean by religious. Some may attribute this to avoiding the question and thats a fair observation but I think he is very aware of the sophistication of the subject and what these terms can mean to different people. I think he avoids giving an answer because he knows that so many people would not take his answer in the way he intended it and he is the kind of man to take great care in getting his point across just as he means it. I however am fairly convinced that he isnt an athiest, or at the very least is not anywhere near the kind of athiest that is typical of the modern world. There was a Joe Rogan interview where he was discussing athiests and it was clear there was a level of distain. This is however just my take on his typical answer to the question and I have no way of knowing what the man actually holds to be true in regards to religion.
He recently re-released Maps of Meaning and in his introduction he strong implies about being atheist in his teenage and young adult years, and slowly rediscovering what faith is to him and to society.
You guys have mental issues: nobody in Italy cares that much if someone believes in god, or not and we have vatican🤦🏻♂️ If you pretend to be good christians you should show some respect for other people, even if their ideas are different from yours.
I have no faith other than Mother Nature, however your views and opinions will not defer myself from watching your videos and gaining important knowledge that is needed in my line of work/hobby. You're a great a teacher.
I`m with you on `restoration` I have several of my Grandads woodwork tools, on in particular is a wooden Jack plane, that had seen better days, so I restored it as new, then had lots of friends say....`you have ruined it` or `its lost it patina` well it is a work tool, not a show piece, and at least 90 years old, and lasted this long, and it will last another 90 years now! :)
Much has change about your shop since this time but, if I am not mistaken, the tin in the upper right hand corner was recently highlighted in a ‘short’ for keeping an oily rag to wipe down tools.
We use those Teflon jaws to hold rifle/shotgun barrels for cleaning/trigger jobs and such. Gives a great advantage over having the firearm on the bench. Not sure I’d clamp a carbon fiber barrel though.
There was a funny quote in a fantasy book about some guys grandads axe. The guy said that his grandad replaced the handle and he replaced the head, but its still his grandads axe. Good choice to replace the handle your grandad made, as I know him from your videos, he would want you to do that. Thanks for a nice video :D
I have a "I love my Wife" patch on my motorcycle vest. Man does that give dudes a double take! Especially some of the older Patriot Guard Veterans I ride with. One asked me "What does that mean?" He actually thought it was some kind of a sarcastic jab. When I told him it means what it says, he thought I was messing with him. Good times with those old crusty dudes! But I appreciate them more than they know!
2:16 from my own grandfather "everything on this farm works" (-Rayfield "Cump" Robertson) and he meant that from the cats around the house, to that old plow out on the line. if it didn't work it was scrapped or fixed.
Cody I loved the video. I love the outdoor ones more since that’s where I spend most of my day. And as far as the whole Peterson thing, a Christian is a Christian no matter what. And a real Christians mission is to spread the message of our lord. If he is a Christian he’s falling short of his mission as a believer in Christ. If he’s not and but is religious in any other way that well he’s just afraid of losing followers etc. God bless brother
Back in the shop! Thank you, cold weather! I have a couple of my dad's ball peen hammers: a small one like those, and a big one. Not sure what the weight is on the big one, though. Luckily, the handles are in good shape. I recently wire brushed them and gave them a coat of Ballistol.
Very Cool restoration ! Your changing out your Grandfather's handle reminded me of a hammer an older gent showed me once. As he waved the hammer under my nose he said with pride, " This is the same hammer that my Great Grandfather brought over from the old country! Since then it has had two new heads and five new handles. " I didn't know if he was joking so I bit my tongue so I wouldn't laugh.
3:20 i bought a Ryoba Gyokucho a few months ago, i don't think i will ever use a "traditional" push saw again. i suspect they have their place, but i don't expect to ever be cutting down trees, and i have so much more control on the pull than the push. i am putting a softer (but cheap) elevated wood floor in my basement and intentionally bought a circular saw to make things easier, but the week where i fooled around with building the floor it was raining and i am not interested in cleaning up the mess of a circular saw indoors, or suffering the rain without good reason, so i just started cutting everything with it instead of just 2x4 single cuts. i don't think the circular saw would have made it much faster. i still like my refurbished skill saw, and the price was right; i've used it a few dozen times since, but i would be just fine if i had not bought it at all.
There have been relationships in the past where I relate strongly with this manly manners. Things I confide in someone who airs it so easily at places like a family dinner. Many times I have quietly walked off from a function for having my trust violated or airing something I find embarrassment in, or something that would make people question my character that I work so hard to maintain. It is an absolute destroyer of relationships.
“Don’t air your wife’s faults in public” This is so true, my wife is my best friend and I would never want to embarrass her in front of friends. Lots of couples do it however it baffles me. Those same couples find it hard to believe that we don’t argue either. Love the restoration Cody
Restorations are my favorite videos of yours. I just so happened to rehandle a framing hammer earlier this week. Hope I can do a ball peen hammer soon as they are one of my favorites too.
Cody, I enjoyed your 'Manly Manners' segments so much that I went and found a copy of my own (which turned out to not be all that difficult, or expensive)! 'Don'ts For Husbands' is a wonderful little book, and it's a shame that it's 'rules' aren't more commonly accepted. These days, apparently, 'cruel is cool!' .....and I'm just left shaking my head. Also, with regard to the whole Jordan Peterson thing: Apologizing for a (possibly) mistaken assumption is fine, but people these days spend altogether too much time and energy on political correctness. Personally, I do what I have always done: I do my best to approach people and subjects with as much deference and respect as I can, and always try to consider another's feelings. If, however, after all that, a person still insists on being 'offended,' then the problem is theirs, not mine! I've done my best, but will not 'bend over backward' to kiss somebody's keister just so that they can feel 'validated' in *exactly* the way they prefer. Agree? Disagree? There's a plain point where I no longer care! Stop assuming (Not you! The general public.) that you're being attacked, my delicate little flowers!
I love these videos. I'm wondering why you chose to use the grinder instead if vinegar. I'm assuming it's faster, but I guess it depends on what you are restoring. Great video Love what you are doing and God bless.
Hey Cody, wouldn't the smaller hole end, be where the handle enters and the larger hole end be where the wedge goes, that way the wedge expands the the handle so it won't pull through. Any way, that's how I do it, what do you think?
I always get excited when I see the wranglerstar notification, I love this channel because along with entertainment and the sea of knowledge that can be learned, you also even if inadvertently teach good morales to people, if you started a church I would join. God bless -Kyle

Payton Wallace he learns and is guided by God, that should be enough to believe.

Not saying anything other than once you have been tested beyond anything you might feel capable of. You only think that your an Atheist. 🙏
@@t2nate137 nah,atheist have proof , also religion stand point is mostly worthless
Brian Wymer’s Handy Man Service No atheists in foxholes
I’m sure that attacking Payton will bring him toward our beliefs ever so quickly....... goodness at the idiocy.
One of my fondest memories as a child was sitting on the garage floor while my grandfather would tinker away on whatever needed fixing. I'd have a handful of nails and a scrap piece of wood.

THE LOCTITE MEME IS BACK!!!
I like how you give love and care to even the lowliest tools. Makes me want to restore one of my more used hammers.
I love these tool restorations, they make me want to restore something myself. I have a Pulaski just waiting to be restored. Hopefully I can get to it soon. :)
Love the Manly Manners, Sometimes I think they are common sense but then again common sense isn't that common any more. Thank you for sharing. :)
Your craftsmanship and recording have come so far from the early days. I love this stuff. God bless you and your family, Cody. I didn't have much of a dad growing up to teach me these ways, so I appreciate these videos to the fullest. God bless.

Good to see you doing what you do best again. Love to see the woodworking and restoration videos
There's never a dull video when it comes to wranglerstar!
With appreciation for this video, and with respect, I wish to offer three things, in this order of importance. And to anyone who already observes them, you are counted among the wise.
•Cody is right about the treatment of our wives. Personally I never put my wife down. Also, If we are visiting others, and she wants to tell a story, I never correct her. Compared to our relstionship, it's NOT that important. Follow these leads in similar subjects for a happier marriage.
•My thanks to Cody for taking a moment to mention file maintenance. All files need cleaning, including the most neglected one, your CHAIN SAW file!!
•Concerning that bench grinder and the grinding wheel that was on the left side: those wheels are porus. This is a reminder to anyone who is not experienced in shop work -- NEVER put soft metals to those wheels! Aluminum, brass, lead, (yes, even wood) will just clog up the pores in the wheel and make it useless.

And what would your videos be without some loctite every once in a while...
You really shine in these type videos, they are your forte. The only thing I struggle with is erasing the dings on the end. They were put there by your grandfather, it was his signature.
While building my house in 88 I broke the handle on a 16 oz. Stanley hammer that had been my grandfathers. I chose to use a fiberglass replacement handle for expedience. I don't know when my grandfather purchased it but it, along with a Craftsman Drill press that he purchased are at least as old as me, 68 years. He was more of a craftsman then me. During WWII, while stationed in Honolulu as as SEABEE, he made a jewelry box of local teak. He made it in the form of a steamer trunk with a domed top. He used sheet copper and copper wire to form hinges and a hasp as well as banding and corner protection. I've treasured it all my life.
Amen to not having tools for a collectible. We had a bunch of fishing gear. I took an original zebco 33 that belonged to my grandpa which was broken, fixed it with parts from one of my dad's original zebco 33 reels, but added a larger crank handle from one of my broken more modern zebco 33 reels. Best reel i ever owned and it represents 3 generations of our family! Sentimentality has met functionality. 3 broken reels made one perfectly working reel. Love your channel.
We used to laugh at the ubiquitous Zebco closed faced reels back when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. Damn things won't die, though...Mine have outlasted the Daiwas and Shimanos.
@@turnersparadise8368 i need a couple new ones. Not a fan of the 1990's models. Switched mainly to spinning reels now. But that 1959 reel i have is still the best in my arsenal! Best of all 100% american made... Except for that handle i threw on it. Good reels are hard to come by anymore.
Always calls railroad RAIL rail road TIE lol. Love it.
I love your tool restoration videos Thank you!
Your manly manners bit today opened my eyes. Thankyou and keep them coming.
Nice work and very pleasant video restoring that old thumb detector!
What a wise man. Having a break for watching your video feels like I have done something positive.
I love restoring old tools
😘
Hammer is looking great!
Time for part 2...
I love restoring old tools !
there the best
Love this! So relaxing. I’m a vintage clothing collector but these make me want to add vintage tools too!
Thanks, Cody, quality info from the Wranglerstar homestead. I've got a pile of hammers from my father and grandfather to restore now. Well, maybe I'll do one or two this winter.

That Manly Manners hit home. Thank you.
Man I bet that Bosch mini chainsaw would have made this job easier 😂
Suds 98
Not bashing wranglerstar but he would probably use it to file up that round ball pin.😂 Jk
it would probably be better used to cut the hammer handle off.
Apathetic Indecisive
(Face palm)
instead of using that lame hand file, he could have instead got one of harbor freights air file. would have been much easier.
Apathetic Indecisive
You have No sense of humor
Looking good. Can’t wait for the handle video.
Loved the manly manners today. Keep them coming my friend
Miss these types of videos. Glad you uploaded this!
I really enjoy the tool restoration keep them coming
Thanks for the Manly Manners. I really enjoy it.
I have really enjoyed the videos you have done on your grandfathers tools. I’m sure I do t have to tell you to treasure them. I received many of my grandfathers tools and unfortunately they were all stolen. But I do have some of my wife’s grandfathers tools that we really treasure. After watching this I’m going to restore one of his ball peens. Thanks so much for the content, God bless
Great advise from the little book and the Good Book.
Finally my favorite type of video
Thanks for a great video. Honoring our spouse is such an important thing to do.
I really liked this manly manners segment and think we can relate it to Corinthians 13:4-7 in the Bible. “(Love) ...does not dishonor others... it always protects, always trusts...”
Honor the one God put by your side. Thanks for the reminder, Cody. Greetings to you and Mrs. W., God bless your family.

Very well said. Jordan Peterson is much more concerned about not making an error, than he is about explaining everything he thinks or believes.
Wow, it is just up there with people that are Crossfit/Vegan.
You are what you are no need to put it in peoples faces.
You guys have mental issues: nobody in Italy cares that much if someone believes in god, or not and we have vatican🤦🏻♂️
If you pretend to be good christians you should show some respect for other people, even if their ideas are different from yours.
Love the restoration and manly manners
I have no faith other than Mother Nature, however your views and opinions will not defer myself from watching your videos and gaining important knowledge that is needed in my line of work/hobby. You're a great a teacher.
Loved that restoration. God bless you.
Missed te old restoration video glad its back😜😜❤️
I`m with you on `restoration` I have several of my Grandads woodwork tools, on in particular is a wooden Jack plane, that had seen better days, so I restored it as new, then had lots of friends say....`you have ruined it` or `its lost it patina` well it is a work tool, not a show piece, and at least 90 years old, and lasted this long, and it will last another 90 years now! :)
Much has change about your shop since this time but, if I am not mistaken, the tin in the upper right hand corner was recently highlighted in a ‘short’ for keeping an oily rag to wipe down tools.
A classic wranglerstar video, what's not to enjoy.
I would’ve loved to see you restore the original handle.
LOL. You know Mr Wrangler star. I get real kick out of seeing lock tight make its way into your video s. In the way you do it.
I've missed these kinda videos!
We use those Teflon jaws to hold rifle/shotgun barrels for cleaning/trigger jobs and such. Gives a great advantage over having the firearm on the bench. Not sure I’d clamp a carbon fiber barrel though.
I’m using your last video as a devotion at my school tomorrow thank you for doing God’s work!
Thank you,
There was a funny quote in a fantasy book about some guys grandads axe. The guy said that his grandad replaced the handle and he replaced the head, but its still his grandads axe. Good choice to replace the handle your grandad made, as I know him from your videos, he would want you to do that. Thanks for a nice video :D
I have a "I love my Wife" patch on my motorcycle vest. Man does that give dudes a double take! Especially some of the older Patriot Guard Veterans I ride with. One asked me "What does that mean?" He actually thought it was some kind of a sarcastic jab. When I told him it means what it says, he thought I was messing with him. Good times with those old crusty dudes! But I appreciate them more than they know!
I've missed these videos.
love this time of year back in shop thank you
2:16 from my own grandfather "everything on this farm works" (-Rayfield "Cump" Robertson) and he meant that from the cats around the house, to that old plow out on the line. if it didn't work it was scrapped or fixed.
I enjoy stumbling upon an older video and, much like a box of cracker jacks, finding a prize like Manly Manners inside.
Love these kind of videos from you
Finally! You didn't abuse It with an angle grinder like the others do out there!
Last time I was this early Wranglerstar was over 200lbs.
Cody I loved the video. I love the outdoor ones more since that’s where I spend most of my day. And as far as the whole Peterson thing, a Christian is a Christian no matter what. And a real Christians mission is to spread the message of our lord. If he is a Christian he’s falling short of his mission as a believer in Christ. If he’s not and but is religious in any other way that well he’s just afraid of losing followers etc. God bless brother
Great video ! Excite for what the future holds! God bless!
Keep these videos coming!
Very sound advice. Oh, and the hammer restoration was ok too.
Back in the shop! Thank you, cold weather!
I have a couple of my dad's ball peen hammers: a small one like those, and a big one. Not sure what the weight is on the big one, though. Luckily, the handles are in good shape. I recently wire brushed them and gave them a coat of Ballistol.
Very Cool restoration ! Your changing out your Grandfather's handle reminded me of a hammer an older gent showed me once. As he waved the hammer under my nose he said with pride, " This is the same hammer that my Great Grandfather brought over from the old country! Since then it has had two new heads and five new handles. " I didn't know if he was joking so I bit my tongue so I wouldn't laugh.
This is the quality video that I've been waiting for. Thankyou my good friend.
3:20 i bought a Ryoba Gyokucho a few months ago, i don't think i will ever use a "traditional" push saw again. i suspect they have their place, but i don't expect to ever be cutting down trees, and i have so much more control on the pull than the push. i am putting a softer (but cheap) elevated wood floor in my basement and intentionally bought a circular saw to make things easier, but the week where i fooled around with building the floor it was raining and i am not interested in cleaning up the mess of a circular saw indoors, or suffering the rain without good reason, so i just started cutting everything with it instead of just 2x4 single cuts. i don't think the circular saw would have made it much faster. i still like my refurbished skill saw, and the price was right; i've used it a few dozen times since, but i would be just fine if i had not bought it at all.
There have been relationships in the past where I relate strongly with this manly manners. Things I confide in someone who airs it so easily at places like a family dinner. Many times I have quietly walked off from a function for having my trust violated or airing something I find embarrassment in, or something that would make people question my character that I work so hard to maintain. It is an absolute destroyer of relationships.
“Don’t air your wife’s faults in public”
This is so true, my wife is my best friend and I would never want to embarrass her in front of friends.
Lots of couples do it however it baffles me. Those same couples find it hard to believe that we don’t argue either.
Love the restoration Cody
"title" @ 8:47
Lmao
Well said Cody. Happy wife happy life support one another 👌
So cool video 😍😍😍
Restorations are my favorite videos of yours. I just so happened to rehandle a framing hammer earlier this week. Hope I can do a ball peen hammer soon as they are one of my favorites too.
Nice job and nice hammer
Love these types of videos
Almost missed the loctite bottle 😂😂
Love it. I think I will finally fix a broken handle on a small sledge.
Tool restoration and manly manners! :)
Cody, I enjoyed your 'Manly Manners' segments so much that I went and found a copy of my own (which turned out to not be all that difficult, or expensive)! 'Don'ts For Husbands' is a wonderful little book, and it's a shame that it's 'rules' aren't more commonly accepted. These days, apparently, 'cruel is cool!' .....and I'm just left shaking my head.
Also, with regard to the whole Jordan Peterson thing: Apologizing for a (possibly) mistaken assumption is fine, but people these days spend altogether too much time and energy on political correctness. Personally, I do what I have always done: I do my best to approach people and subjects with as much deference and respect as I can, and always try to consider another's feelings. If, however, after all that, a person still insists on being 'offended,' then the problem is theirs, not mine! I've done my best, but will not 'bend over backward' to kiss somebody's keister just so that they can feel 'validated' in *exactly* the way they prefer. Agree? Disagree? There's a plain point where I no longer care! Stop assuming (Not you! The general public.) that you're being attacked, my delicate little flowers!
I have a hammer exactly like this so I am especially interested! Thank you!!!
I love these videos. I'm wondering why you chose to use the grinder instead if vinegar. I'm assuming it's faster, but I guess it depends on what you are restoring. Great video Love what you are doing and God bless.
Hey Cody, wouldn't the smaller hole end, be where the handle enters and the larger hole end be where the wedge goes, that way the wedge expands the the handle so it won't pull through. Any way, that's how I do it, what do you think?
another great video!!
Great video!
I always get excited when I see the wranglerstar notification, I love this channel because along with entertainment and the sea of knowledge that can be learned, you also even if inadvertently teach good morales to people, if you started a church I would join. God bless -Kyle
ScoutCrafter does great tool restorations without the religion lol
Classic wrangler star always look forward to seeing one of these vids on my feed
Thanks for the Manly Manners. Man I have failed in that department
