Most restoration projects I’ve seen take something old and make it look like new. This one restored the jack to look like old, and I loved it! So glad that you took the time to repair the wood. Most people would have tossed it in the fire and made a replacement. There is so much character in that old wood. Treat it properly and it will last hundreds of years. Bravo!

[@josephnavin4451]

I am personally in the get new wood camp. For about 200 years, I imagine the elements and insects have had a chance to deteriorate the wood. Also, the wood had to be glued and screwed back together. This does not inspire confidence in me about the trustworthy strength of a tool meant to bear tons of force. This is probably all moot, because I expect this to sit pretty in somebody’s collection for years to come.

[@curtisweller4138]

@@josephnavin4451 All good points. I can’t imagine anyone actually using a wooden jack in this century. Yet to have a piece of functional history like this with original wood is exceptionally unique. I’m an amateur woodworker so I appreciate old wood. It’s not simply a hard, sturdy medium to me. Properly cared for, wood will last for many generations. My 2 bits.

[@ZakVinni]

@@josephnavin4451 this piece is not meant to be used, it belongs in museum or private collection, thus must have original wood, besides there are tones of wood-preserving methods avail right now so there are should be no concerns for keeping it original.

[@josephnavin4451]

Zak Vinni I agree. I do think that this will most likely sit in someone’s collection. I cannot readily imagine how to incorporate a tool this obscure into a museum exhibit. This video is the first time I became aware that these existed back then. Museums usually show exhibits of cultural artifacts which are representative icons of a region during a certain time period.

As someone who spent quite a bit of his childhood in his grandfather's carpentry workshop, I can't help but appreciate the care and work you put into fixing up a block of wood that an average person might've thought to be unsalvageable.

[@Grushnerd]

thats exactly like me haha :D

[@Guppypants]

100% right. As an average skilled person, I did not view the wood as salvageable. I appreciate how much more character the finished product has. The right move for sure.

[@calebzerr5380]

As a carpenter, i think is... Neat,but i still wish hed ckeaned it up abit more. I get slivers just looking at it

[@DeathmetalPersian]

Maybe not unsalvagabe for a decorative piece or furniture, but as the structure to a piece of safety equipment isn't worth the risk.

You 100 percent correct. Not worth is safety is EVERYTHING you compromise in safety you compromise in your life.

[@ronaldalyea1136]

Out of all your restoration videos, this one is my absolute favorite! I'm not exactly sure why. But one thing I find so fascinating is how a block of wood was turned into a jack. Who knew? Also, I so admire the fact that you salvaged the wood. Even though it was completely split, you found a way to reunite the two parts so that everything (except the handle) is original. I admire your skills so much. And I LOVE Avril! Please keep these videos coming. I could watch them over and over again. Greetings from Canada.

[@proudpalestinian1]

I would loved to see the philps + head screws tossed away and replaced with used flat - head screws as they will be more periodic and honest to the device ( am sure at some stage it had a repair and someone had replaced the flat head screws with phillips head screws), As always very enjoyable and satisfying restoration, keep the good job up and keep them coming, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

[@jerrykellerman9725]

I really enjoy watching your attention to detail, that said I also make sure my comment has validity. On dry rot or broken wood I want to keep for its form I would use penetrating epoxy resin specially designed for wood .

[@lnwolf41]

Amazing, how they made such simple tools, that withstand time. I think I would of put the sawdust in the screw holes, along with the glue. I would of heated up the wood, so the wax would seep further in, adding extra protection. I had a thought of stabilizing it with epoxy resin, or a watered down wood glue to soak in over night.

[@chrishancock9866]

one of your best restorations. I confess I really enjoy seeing old rusty objects restored to better than new condition and bright and shiny, but I do feel a bit sad sometimes that the character of the object has been lost. This restoration however perfectly preserved the character of the jack and that made it a stand out.

We had a jack,exactly like this,home on the farm in Norway when I was a kid.I was told that it get there by the Germans in ww2.It was laying outside and rotted. For some years ago i collected the steel parts and maked new wood for it. Funny to see someone else that restored a jack like this

[@byjamie-hillierrubis]

Ahhh, I have one of those and it is in need of some TLC, not quite as much as yours though. I did wonder about the metal handle and didn't realize it originally must have had a wooden one. One small point is I might use hot linseed oil & beeswax, 50/50, to finish it, as in french polishing, but your stained wax looks grand! Aught not the wood of handle move free of the metal shaft so as not to get blisters? ... perhaps yours does move free, I can't tell. Very instructive! Thank you. Blessings from Eire. 💖🙏🌻

That is a vintage wagon jack that the people of yesterday used to lift their wagons when the wheels need greasing, or the spokes needed to be replaced. Wagon grease was also used in that jack (it was quite thick and sticky). The eye-ring was used to anchor it to the ground to prevent it from shifting. It was also used to secure it to the wagons side when not in use... Nice job....
