Patent Remake: 1909 Ratchet Wrench

I only made 1 for sale!
This patent reproduction is based on a very simple and elegant 1909 patent for a ratcheting wrench by Frederick Walden. You can view the original patent here: patents.google.com/patent/US9...
I always love the patent reproduction videos as they challenge me in ways the restoration videos usually do not. This reproduction forced me to get a dividing head and shaping attachment for the Bridgebort milling machine.
I decided to use 4140 for the main ratcheting part of the wrench and both the lathe and the shaping attachment did NOT like that as much as mild steel. Using the shaping attachment was a massive learning experience as I first had to custom make a cutter out of O1 tool steel and then learn how to use the tool itself. After a bit of practice I learned enough to be confident in machining the square hole as perfectly as possible. I am pushing the shaping attachment to well beyond what the limits apparently are so dealing with that was a challenge as well.
The handle reproduction was fairly simple with just a couple of bends, but the exactly length of the arm of the handle the engages the ratchet is important as too long or too short will cause the mechanism not to function.
I decide not to harden any of the components to match the original design, but the ability to do so is still there if I ever decide to change that!
I did decide to make an extra one that I am putting up for sale at auction. I've never done something like that before, so I think it will be fun to see what happens.

An alternative idea for supporting that work in the mill would be to place a smooth-top machinist jack under the workpiece. Looks like the main issue is that there's a lot of "stickout" and you are milling downward, so there's a lot of down force and the nearest support is way back at the other end past the chuck. Set to the right height the jack should allow you to still rotate the work without needing to reset it every time, but provide much much better support for all that downward force than a center precariously perched in a small center hole.
That is some amazing work. I was shocked at how simple this design is.
absolutely love the ingenuity of old tooling. Nearly indestructible and simple mechanisms.

Usually, the, there's lots of talk, and then they say something like, "Let's get to it." and then (jump cut, skipping all the actual work) "Okay, next..." Anyways, from one freeloader to another, have a good day!

Stunning build and a really impressive design for 110 years old. That ratcheting assembly seems like an advanced machining part for sure despite the simple overall design.
What a beautiful tool! And the wrench is pretty good also.
Testing torque can be done up to and surpassing the available commercial torque wrenches. Make an L shaped arm of one foot or greater length on the long arm. The short arm passes through a bearing allowing the long arm to be rotated around a fixed point. Make an attachment point for the device to be tested on the short leg. On the end of the long leg at 12 inches from the center point of the short shaft, or at any multiple of that, make an attachment point for a weight. With the device to be tested attached to the short leg in a fixed position and the long leg positioned parallel to the ground keep adding weight to the long arm until you reach the required torque or something breaks.😵 We used this method to test the welds on steering column linkages for International and Mack trucks. Easy to make and calibrate. Also capable of twisting 3/4" hex 4140 in two. 😁😎
After watching you connect all those adapters and extenders, all I can say is “I need an adult.”
Thank You sir! 👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
We really needed Project Farm to include this in his ratchet testing. “Patent wrench is made in Canada. Product makes no claims about durability”.
I always love when it sounds like the cc are giving commentary for instance when the bit started to work through the center hole on the ratchet the cc said “applause”.

Going back thru some of your older episodes to rewatch randomly, after having watched (i think) all of your wonderfully edited videography! Per this specific socket ratchet wrench’s original hexagonal drive, of the several antique socket sets I randomly collected from yard sales & such back in the 90’s when such things could be had for pennies to the dollar, it does jive with the rather large number of various too maker companies n’round the turn of the century, per stamped sheet type sockets, having typically been hexagonal drive, as square drive hadn’t really been established as a standard quite yet &, as you, HTR, pointed out, requires certain tool cutters to achieve quality square holes, that must’ve been rather costly back in the day. Anywho… love the work you do! Just wish I’d thought of setting up my own YT Channel to have showcased all of the WAY TOO MANY TO LIST crazy insane projects &/or, restorations I’ve done over the decades, of likewise, vintage/antique tools &/or, equipment; most of which, I may have only a picture or two of before and after, of those jobs
