Machinery Wedge Jack
Machinery wedge jack demonstration and load test. This is a full function prototype that I build a couple of months ago after seeing a hydraulic version at a friends shop. Enjoy!

Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so.
Seven months and you slide in here like it was yesterday. It's been quiet without your high quality content Tom, so glad to see you're well and in the mood to make (at least one) new video. You've been missed.
Hello Tom , Wonderfull to see your back again 👍👍👍😃
Extremely happy to see you back on KZread again Tom.
Thanks Tom. This was a great, succinct video and I even learned a new phrase to throw around and feel smart: Coefficient of friction. Glad you're back!
Archimedes is proud!
I’d be interested in the thrust bearing setup and how it attaches to the wedge. Pretty sweet little lifter you made!

Yes, we want details. That's the only thing that there's not enough information in your video for us to build ourselves.

Haha! “…not all at once” - I love the vision of Tom lashing all his machinery into a huge pyramid balancing on the wedge 😂
Never get tired of you showing us tools to measure things. Deeply clever tool you've built.
Welcome back!! Your wisdom and ingenuity were missed!
Always a good day when an OX Tools video drops. Thanks, will file that one away for an emergency.
After the deafening silence, he come through with another really interesting video. Thanks, Tom. We all appreciate everything you share.
Delighted to see you back Tom. I appreciate the work that goes into making these videos and how that can detract from the pleasure of just making stuff, but l have to tell you how much I appreciate all your videos and how much we all learn from them. Thanks again sir!
As AVE would say. “The power of the incline plane.” Nice to see you again Tom.
Great design/build, as usual! And it's also great to see a new vid from you :)
Great to see you back Tom, I was truly worried about you. Hope all is well.
BOY ,am I glad to see you back
Welcome back - you've been sorely missed !!
Glad to see your still here
Very interesting I think I’m gonna have to make one. Welcome back it’s been a long seven months.
I'm not sure where _I've_ been for the last 7 months now. Great to have you back.
That was a short wait for a new YT episode. Great to see a follow up on this project and thanks for sharing! Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Hey there Tom, good to see you back again. This wedge jack is a fantastic idea. I am very surprised how little torque it took to make such a large lifting force! Thanks for this!
Great to see you back again
He's back!!! Good to see you!
so glad you are back now we want MORE!
Good to see you back!!!
These are working on the exact same principle as mechanical felling wedges for lumberjacks! Had one of those back in my days, but never thought of using it to jack up anything else… Thanks for the inspiration!
Great tool to make in the shop and very useful. Glad to see you back.
Genius! Kudos to you sir!!
SOOO GOOD to see you here again !
Good to see you Tom. ❤

great piece of engineering
Well thanks Tom for the education, It never gets old and I like these little Jewels of Knowledge you give us.
Excellent as always. Two thumbs up
Amazing piece of kit.. I need to build one now.
That is very cool!
Great to see you're back! And that's a dandy little jack you made.
Cool tool. Super happy to see you again, and looking forward to more. No pressure 😁

Nice job again Tom, great to see you back!
Hey Tom, good to see you again
Good to see you back Tom. 👌🏻
Great to see the OX and work again!
What a great tool, not too complex to make as well. Thanks for showing it working. Very useful. Cheers Tony
You're the man Tom, been watching for a decade
Great to see you Tom!
You have fascinating projects. I wouldn't have thought mild steel and delrin would have held up that nicely. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy.
So good to see you back Tom, cheers from Buenos Aires!!!! Nice tool!!!!
Funny! So, I made the comment about wedges and spent time and money for “discriminating craftsmen”. I have bronze, maple and plastic…. Spent the week moving a heavy safe on a nice floor I used all these tools: wedges, pry bars, wood blocks and a hydraulic porta spreader. Now I need a new tool! Genius and so appreciated of your time and great video.
GREATTO SEE U BACK
Welcome back great little tidbit for us viewers. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
thanks for sharing. keep up the good work.
Brilliant engineering and tool building. A machinist that knows how too build his own tools is essential for any good shop!
Good to see you Tom! Neat wedge lifter, thank you.
Nice to see you again.
i was just thinking its been a while since a video came out i hope tom is ok. glad to see you posting again
Hay Tom so good to see you again.
Pretty incredible lifting power. Nice work Tom!
Excellent thanks for the video
Great to see you back Tom. Have missed your content. All the best for the new year from NZ.
Welcome back been checking quite often for a post
Awesome video and engineering! Would be interested in some simple drawings. I would love to make one or two for our shop! Thanks Tom!
Tom, good to see you back again
Welcome back!!
Tom - great little tool / video, good to see you again brother!
Thank you Tom!
Welcome Back....! Good Project!!!
Well looks like I have a new project! Great to see you!
Delrin is such a good material choice here to have the wedge slide well and prevent galling. Good stuff!
Welcome back - hope all is well with you and all of yours.
👍 cleaver! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed seeing you on the PFG Live last week. You're always bringing knowledge to the table, thank you.

@@JohnThawley right on. I enjoy getting to play along with the live. I also enjoy how Spence has gotten Tom and Robin on Discord, so we all get to hear from them more.
Miss you Tom. As always, good video!
