01:50 Gee! That wrench is one of a kind. 05:20 The wedding ring is to keep things perpendicular - right? 11:22 Better than any gym. *awesome job*

[@WoodByWright]

The wrench is a remake of 100-year-old version that is fantastic for square nuts. It's made by hand tool rescue. Yes. Ring on the auger bit lets you know that the auger bit is parallel to the ground. Then you can visually see if you need to move left and right.

@@WoodByWright Thanks. The more I watch videos about brace drills, the more I want one by my own, and your channel seems to be the right place for it.

[@johnmoyer5515]

I used one when i was a young man if i remember it was in a pc oak 2" mortise for tenon in a 6 x 6 💪 i cherished the experince.

[@64puma64]

I bet it looks better than the day it first left the store shelf. Great job, James.

[@jimstewart1044]

That turned out nice! I really like that blue.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

BRILLIANT ! I hope your Son realises what a clever Dad he has, and how lucky he is to have him :-) Take care.

[@terrymccorkle1674]

Absolutely beautiful

[@AydinBalcik1]

Another perfect job, lovely to watch. I really mean it. Lovely!

[@jerrystark3587]

The project and the video are both very well done. Thanks!

[@trollforge]

Turned out gorgeous James.

[@jimmcnett]

That is so awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@billquillin1952]

Nicely done!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Beautiful! Really nice!

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks man!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@FAMAWoodworking]

Great job Dude! Congrats!

[@dpmeyer4867]

very cool

[@johngillespie8724]

Beautiful work. Just the type of video I needed tonight. :)

[@Agent_of_Grim]

I would love to have one of those some day

[@splashpit]

I was looking at these on eBay yesterday and thought I knew what they were worth , tomorrow they will be twice as much!

[@yonahzur3755]

That was SO satisfying to watch

[@yonahzur3755]

As I watched you disassemble I imagined myself trying to do that, and had a vision of me looking at the parts later..."I know this screw came from somewhere..." 🤔

[@WoodByWright]

Lol. That's why I shoot video the whole thing.

[@yonahzur3755]

How does one drill dog holes vertically WITHOUT one of those?!?

[@AnonymousUser1776]

I could watch this for hours.

[@stevebowen809]

Hi James, lovely stuff as always, but please change out those phillips screws (invented 1932), they just look wrong on this fine tool.

[@WoodByWright]

Ya those are temporary tell the correct ones come in.

[@imortaldeadead]

Didn’t see your audio files, but they did sound funny 😁 Thank you for sharing

[@chrisrose323]

Thanks for talking the time to read and heart this comment!

[@ericeriksen8684]

Would like to own one.

[@ericeriksen8684]

I would like to own one

[@philliparudolph9595]

audio files? have you checked behind the saw till?

[@reforzar]

I was driving down beech st and saw a bag. I thought it was a bag of trash but I bet it was your audio files.

[@k9six185]

I like the screwdriverchiselpunch.........my Dad cuffed me in the back of the noggin for using one of those when I was younger......

[@WoodByWright]

Lol when you're in a hurry everything's a hammer.

[@yetanotherbloke]

Perhaps we have the same Old Man? Cos mine did that too!

[@jjwouters6436]

I think the rust remover fluid is soon to reach it's limits :)

[@WoodByWright]

Ya I have been using this batch for over a year now.

[@chrishowlett9233]

Could you have used epoxy to stabilize the original wood as opposed to remaking them?

[@WoodByWright]

No unfortunately they warped out of straight and several of the holes have widened to the point that they weren't very useful. I'm still holding out of the original pieces but as I intend to use it I would rather have better ones.

[@Zamboni-0805]

Very nice...I think the first link "how to video" you put in the description is a link to this channel...if you continue to scroll down there is a link to James's "How to" channel

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks. I can check on that.

[@zack5750]

Hey man for them suck on bolts and what not try some sea foam deep creep I swear by that stuff

[@mateoboschify]

Just picked one of these up. Do you know anything about where they were made or a brand?

[@WoodByWright]

There were a bunch of different brands and many of them used matching parts of other brands so it is really hard to tell.

[@luthiermatt]

I have the exact drill on the right that you sold on CIHI. Do you know anything about the manufacturer and age? I see Snell and James Swan did similar. In fact the one you restored could be a James Swan.

[@Hudson4426]

Unrelated question: I’m building a hand tool cabinet for myself from quarter sawn white oak (now understand your love for it) that is 4/4. I’m having to glue some panels together to get the width I need. Do I flatten each piece individually then glue up or glue up and then flatten the whole panel? My fear is if I do each piece individually then they won’t be the same thickness for the glue up. The boards are pretty flat already but not where they need to be

[@WoodByWright]

If doing it by hand glue them first then flatten the whole thing. The only reason to flatten first is if the finished pannel won't fit in a power planner.

[@Hudson4426]

@@WoodByWright I am doing it by hand... and thank you

[@ronniesolomon5235]

What kind of spray paint did you use? Just regular or a special kind for metal ?

[@WoodByWright]

Just rust-oleum. The first coat is a self etching primer.

[@jenkins1979]

Can you name the (I'll call it) adjusting wrench you use on beam drill restoration and where did you get it?

[@WoodByWright]

are you talking about the hand tool rescue wrench www.handtoolrescue.com/

[@Nicoya]

That adjustable wrench seems unnecessarily prominent.

[@WoodByWright]

Why is that? How else am I suppose to take square nuts off?

[@Nicoya]

@@WoodByWright Starring: Hand Tool Rescue Unnecessarily prominent adjustable wrenches Socially distant garbage on the floor

[@ronniesolomon5235]

You need to make and sell that BLO/paste wax combo in liquid form.

[@WoodByWright]

The liquid is just BLO but I will be doing a video soon on where to find it without chemical driers.

[@ericritz932]

I love to have one but can not find them

[@WoodByWright]

You should check out HandToolFinder.com

[@cna9708]

Is the ring gliding on the drill as indicator for being perpendicular to gravity?!

[@WoodByWright]

Right on. It's easy to see left to right but the ring then also tells you up and down.

[@cna9708]

@@WoodByWright Brilliantly primitive and effective. I was recently looking into drillguide blocks which seem to be common, but they also get i little bit in the way and mounting is not allways easy. That trick is very inspiring.... and I just now found your video about it xD

[@woutmoerman711]

Beautiful piece of machinery! Was the cast iron frame repaired once upon a time? It looked like it was welded in one spot.

[@WoodByWright]

yes I talked about that in the other version. it had a crack and I had a friend weld it. I was not able to get the footage of him doing it.

[@Billy-yz4ii]

Is that a wrench from Hand Tool Rescue?

[@WoodByWright]

Yep. Love his remake of those wrenches.

[@Billy-yz4ii]

@@WoodByWright Beautiful job on the beam drill

[@FredMcIntyre]

😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@SkylersRants]

You’re a skilled craftsman but I don’t think there is a good answer to the question, “Why did you paint it blue?”

[@WoodByWright]

lol thanks. all the tools I restore for my personal use are painted my shop blue as I will be the one using them for the next few decades it makes me Happy, by the time I am done with them they will be ready for another round of restoration and the next owner can decide if they want to take them back to original or not.

[@williamfess862]

@@WoodByWright I understand your thinking, however every time I see a great old tool you have, and you have a lot it makes me cringe! Sorry.
