Nice to see a usable tool get fixed.

I subscribed to this channel before I even watched a video. I was not disappointed. I can relate to how he kind of half-asses it. At least he gets it done! Great material, will return.

I love watching these rescues.

Could you imagine how much better this thing could be with modern day casting steels and casting technology? Somebody needs to make a luxury hand tool throwback line.

keld101 and today we find ourselves being able to purchase the first production run of reproduction wrenches made by Hand Tool Rescue. U see into future....😱

Just rewatching this and I’d forgotten just how clean that bench was in the beginning! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following you from your very first resto that popped up in my recommended feed, now I’ve just purchased one of your awesome replica adjustable tissue gripping, paint brush gripping wrenches with bottle opener I hope! I’ve loved the journey, proud to have been here from the first video. Today the wrench....hopefully sometime soon I’ll be fortunate enough to be able to become a Patreon. Until then I’ll keep rewatching the old videos, has it really been just over a year already since this was released? and supporting where I can. Please keep up the great work. Peace Charlie UK

Thank you so much! The older videos do look different with the planed-down bench.

Just a thought. Better to replace the stop at the end of the clamp, that you ground off, or you will loose the tail stop. Love the video.

Black Brothers of Mendota Illinois still exists though while they make machinery for wood and furniture manufactures they don't seem to do clamps any more. They had a line of rotary clamps that allowed for glue ups to rotate about an axis such that when the workman got around to them again they were generally ready to be released from the clamps.

That Came Out Slick No Paint Just Bare Metal Beautiful!

Nice clamps and restoration. I have not seen Black Bros clamps before . I have two older flat bar clamps, one is similar to yours.

These videos are so relaxing I hope you continue making them

I think I would put a spot of weld on the nut handles after threading and putting the stud in. Love watching your vidios, Thanks for putting them out there.

If I remember correctly cast iron does not weld well. Thats why it is usually repaired with brazing.

Never-mind making it into a sword, that thing would break bones and split heads even without an edge! Great that you found a way for it to be useful! Ah, acme thread, the stuff of lathes!

Anyone else notice the beautiful riveted and torch welded job done between the slide and the acme threads

these videos are fascinating i love them

Nice Sash Cramp. It probably had a forked toggle bar handle fitting over those two bosses on the nut.

I enjoy how you put just a little bit of comedy into every video. Just recently found you and have subscribed

Haha thank you. I know I was creeping people out with that. The key is to just not breathe at all.

I'm thinking that there weren't handles originally. More likely a kind of socket to drive the nut. Otherwise fixed handles could be an issue interfering with other clamps and stuff. Also, it's unlikely that there would have been cast iron handles that were that thin and spindly. Also, is it possible that the nut originally had a flange that should engage the "movable" jaw. That way turning the nut counter clockwise would pull the movable jaw away from the work. It could have fallen off and then the use and friction ground the broken face smooth.

Nice clamp design

I have one of these with the complete handle on the end, things in great condition. I put a couple more groves on the bar so it can clamp smaller objects as well. Was thinking about trying to mount it to one of my work counters as a vice for larger objects. Things neat, I wish I knew if they were worth anything.

I think I saw a renaissance man figure on the table at 4:30... Great videos pal...Go on!!!

Another great job. 👍

Pretty clever way to replace handles.

great job, you're hilarious!!

I know you love your current rust remover and you probably already know this technique, but just in case... For large pieces like this, ones that you can't put in the bucket, I've had good results from wrapping them in a few layers of paper towel held tight with rubber bands, then soaking the towels with white vinegar and leaving it overnight. You could probably use the Evapo-Rust in the same way, of course, but I can only speak to my experience.

Hand Tool Rescue your welcome

A good refurbishing job.

Nice big, uh... clamp you got there.

It kind of looks like a really badass sword.

Nice job, wondering why you didn't repaint the ends?

Good clamp, I envy. So. And now straighten the handle a little and weld your threaded connection, clean the place of welding and age it and the surface of the rods. The handle on the thread is a weak spot. But it seems that it is cast iron - it’s difficult to weld, you have to try. If it’s not cast iron, it’s lucky. PS: Oh yes, you forgot to return the sawn-off limiters for the movable jaw.

What about the little nub thingy at the bottom of the shaft? Did you replace it?

Well, I'm sure it'll work just fine.

Found a picture that shows a similar clamp had a handle with a fork that swiveled on those nubs on the nut. Kind of like a short breaker bar.

Definitely will snap, the original forged rod snapped. The effective section is the small threaded insert diameter. Better grind a v-groove down to the threaded rod then weld it all around.

You didn’t replace the end stopper so the part won’t fall off when placed upright. What happened? Did you forget you ground it off?

Did it have handles like that originally? Or did it have a handle with a collar that slipped over and drove on those two stubby pins? Don’t see many cramps like that here in U.K.

Have you ever tried electrolysis to remove rust? There are many videos on You Tube on how to do it. The advantages are you don't have to worry about gouging the parts from scraping or grinding, and it gets into all the little nooks and cranny's (like inside threads). And you don't have to handle acid and worry about burns.

I have definitely tried it and should use it again in the future. Right now I use solutions like evaporust as they work faster and soften exterior paint specks, making them easy to wipe off without ruining the original finish.
