This is Dadio-66! Wow, it is nearly unrecognizable now. Nice job and I’m glad you enjoyed the challenge.

@357magdad 4 года назад

Thanks for sending me the wrench! It was a challenging project!

You know a drill press is just a vertical lathe... 😉. Awesome job! I love the new Tap Magic container... You really saved this wrench! 😃👍

What a transformation. You've transformed what 99.9% of people would have tossed in the garbage into a beautiful tool anyone would would use. Great job and video. I don't comment much but always look forward to your next video. Keep up the great job.

It came out so industrial looking! It reminds me of the 40s and 50’s lathes and milling machines I used to use in high school

I think I saw JohnFix or JoesShop do the black letters on gray and I had been waiting for the right project to try it myself!

Excellent rescue. The replacement pin worked great. And, you did it with tools the average workshop guy is likely to have. Not all of us have a lathe.

@alexstools 4 года назад

Almost caught you there in the reflection of that wrench buddy!! Fun thing is, I am working on a fully frozen wrench now to. I got it all apart, just the piece of pin in the tumbwheel is still stuck. It's soaking in 50/50 acetone and ATF now, I really hope to avoid drilling that thing, I will be of center on that for sure! Great idea on the initial turning down of the allthread, I've been thinking about how to do that for a while, now I know!

@357magdad 4 года назад

Thanks Alex! I was nervous drilling out that knurl. I started with a small drill and carefully snuck up on the pin diameter.

@markrandall1456 4 года назад

I received a new notice While sitting alone. A new post on your channel! It came on my phone. An adjustable wrench Made by B & C. It’s rusty-it’s crusty, Just what will we see? You soaked it and beat it You need Scout’s short hammer. You then drilled it out Without too much clamor. I’m watching you “machine” while I sit in the shade. The pin came out great. I like what you made. Chuck, then the Flitz. You told quite a tale About the B & C wrench That you got in the mail. Another fine piece of work Mr. M. From the Lazy L in Sherman, TX, thanks for the fun. 🤠

@solosniper86 3 года назад

Awesome job! I've used the DIY lathe trick with some copper rods that I needed about half as thick. It worked very well. The wrench turned out beautiful. The ONLY thing I would've added to the process is using a needle file to bring back some of the knurling. Otherwise, she's still a beaut and I'm sure the original maker would be proud to have it in his toolbox again. 👍

Thanks Glen! I got an exhaust pipe adapter from the local auto parts store and sharpened the end. I push and twist to cut the discs out. Sometimes it doesn't cut all the way through so I finish the job with scissors. The shape doesn't have to be perfect, the disc will true itself as you use it.
