Watched this 6 years later (again) as a follow-up to 393 on using a 45 degree end mill (beginning minutes) to make a 90 degree V groove. Don't ever think we don't go back to view your old videos, they are all precious lessons from the shop teacher! I will probably buy a 45 end mill to experiment with in making some v-blocks and a drill press vise jaw with a LEVEL groove as my current jaw was found to be way off in being level to the base. Maddening how things are assembled with such in-accuracies. Thank you again for all your efforts.

Who said I graduated school! I’m still in Mr Peterson’s class. Keep up the great work, the world is watching.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. The things you taught us over the years is such a great gift and I dont think any of us could ever repay you for that! Thank you for all that you do.

[@adamengland6609]

I love you Mr Pete. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and rightly schooling us with your good values and humour. -Adam

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much--keep watching

[@begoodamerica9793]

I sure would have liked to be in his class when I was young. MrPete is a Goldmine of Information and a incredible Teacher.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Thanks for the great video. It never hurts to repair a tool no matter how many you may have.

In this age of throw away it's always good to see old handtools get a new lease of life. Well done.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

yes that is right

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@jamesburns0657]

Old broken tools getting new life, I just love these videos!! Thanks for this!

[@stxrynn]

Excellent work! It's ready for another 100 years of use.

[@Daledavispratt]

Excellent Sunday morning viewing...well done, as always. Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)

[@ronsites2694]

Thank you Mr. Pete for another great video. It is great to have someone of your skills and abilities that we can learn from.

[@Christopher.C123]

Repairing a number 7 tap wrench and you already have one ? Oh boy . you must be in the same 74 year old memory loss club that I am in , I could send you an honorary enrollment form but I can't remember where I put them . Joking aside a very good video once again on how to fix something that is classed as old junk and bring it back to being a useful tool. Better to have two than none .

[@Hirudin]

That's so fantastic that you were reminded of your other No. 7 tap wrench by watching your old vid!

[@Ellimir]

Another great video. Regarding the length of the movable jaw, it occurs to me that you could have calculated the ratio of the length of fixed to movable jaw based on the smaller Greenfield tap wrenches you had. Then using that proportion calculated the length needed for the #7 jaw.

[@ezmoney1133]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge mr.Pete! God bless you and your family!

[@garyc5483]

Nice job mrpete. At least now another lucky person will get to use that wrench when you are done with it. regards from the UK

[@troykidd3232]

Lol i love finding stuff i forgot i had. Now if i could just find an affordable mill in this dreadful state id be set!! Great video 👍

[@HeatherRSmall]

Once again, thank you for the lesson. I just went and checked to see what size GF tap wrenches I have. I have a number 5 & 6. The no.6 being the largest of all my taps. My smallest is a little Starrett. ABOM79 has the largest tap wrench I have ever seen.

[@josephwilson6651]

A most pleasant video Mr.Pete always a genuine pleasure listening to your presentation and delivery

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

Another fantastic video! You truly amaze me. I truly would love to be in your shop, or Jimmy Diresta's! I am truly a tool freak! LOL! Just think of the many generations of tools that you have! Many blessings to you!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

[@SharekGadd]

Great to watch! Using your existing tap handles, you could determine the length of the missing piece by the application of percentages from a jaw to the length of it's opening.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@izzynutz2000]

Thanks Lyle... Enjoyed both videos thoroughly....!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@Terry_Baker]

Great video as usual Mr. Pete. Love that ABOM79 size tap wrench!!

[@douglaspierce316]

not big enough for the bomb

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@aj9270]

Excellent video as usual Mr. Pete !

[@bardee1]

It's great to see the machining used to make the tool anyway, good job.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@MrKidkiller159]

I love how later in the video you found your #7 wrench you forgot that you had. Haha great stuff !!!!!!

[@arthurirwin8235]

Thank you for the education! I learn something new every time I watch your video keep up the good work!

[@raymondwoodring7977]

Great vid Mr.pete one can never have to many tools and once again thanks for sharing your knowledge sir

[@angelramos-2005]

Fine practical and educational project.Thank you.

[@j1w2t3]

thanks i just purchased a old greenfield tap a die set up to one inch and it was missing both tap wrenches and was thinking about making tap wrenches now i know what size i need to make 19 inches

[@tommie293]

Always fun to watch you work. By the way, I don't have a #7 tap wrench.

[@BenButler1]

great video. glad you did the project.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Always well done and informative.

[@gerardorubio5983]

layout like a i do in welding. both use the same methods. thanks for sharing the info.

[@waynehigden]

Is the 13/32 Dia. of the shaft related to the left handed thread dimensions? Naturally there has to be a reason why all the sizes were developed many years ago when tools were made to last generations of users. Instead of the throw away society we live in now. Always a pleasure watching a fellow machinist doing "Old School" work without using digital machining.

[@sefarkas0]

Thanks Mr. Pete!

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Great video as usual sir! Some day I hope to have so many tools I forget what I have, oh who am I kidding I do that already. Lol

[@chexstix]

As always, nicely done!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you

[@navigatorx1013]

The older the tool the kooler.!! Thx for the vid..

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Nicely done, looks great!

[@stormtaker63]

Glad you made this video, fantastic!

[@buddynewman8949]

Great job as always. Thanks.

[@johnbaker1039]

When you decide this needs a new home there is a big guy in Pensacola that I am sure would love to provide a good home for it.

[@rossilake218]

Mr Pete, The jaw sizes are different on the #7’s.i once saw a kit that had many different jaw sizes.

[@veganadventure5282]

cant wait for the next one!!

[@ronpeck3226]

Thanks again MrPete

[@clifffiftytwo]

Disassembling the movable jaw from the threaded rod makes me want a tool that grasps two ends of something and puts tension on it to pull it part but holds it so you have both hands free to perform some operation on the object, like heating the part. I've never seen anything like that.

[@steveclark..]

I had a go at making an whole new outer housing that surrounds the two 'jaws' because the one that came with my set broke in half, it were made of cast metal.

[@bestfriendhank1424]

Thanks for saving a quality American made product from the scarp yard!

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks for sharing sir...

[@rayfalcoa1955]

thanks mr.pete.

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@ttokar74]

Хороший инструмент. Good tool.

[@mvdbroek166]

A Big thanks and Hi from the Netherlands. I'd have made the jaw a bit shorter, wouldnt it make sense to have the Lowest point of the V the same on bothe fixed and moveable ends? (As in the new Nr7..) Well anyway just a thought. Keep the good stuff coming

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

A good informative video , thanks. cheers and a smile. 😎

[@pethoviejo]

You sound like Fred Harvey when you say "So long for now."

[@coldformer1]

nice fix

[@laserflexr6321]

Grandfather types are my favorite teachers. Don't have anything to do with been there, done it or wisdom or years of experience, more a matter of if you do something stupid they probably wont beat your ass. Thanks for not beating my ass when I did that stupid thing Grandpa.

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

I'm glad you forgot you had the other one otherwise we wouldn't be enjoying this video!

[@blacksmith9451]

As Ave always said.. Safety third!

[@galtutankamon]

You cold compare length relation between a moving jaw and a fixed jaw on a smaller size and then transfer it to your size. Great video.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@pierresgarage2687]

If I'd remember all I got piled up all over places, it's because my memory cells aren't decaying faster than they rejuvenate... lol

[@mrpete222]

LOL

[@250-25x]

Do you ever wonder what will become of our horde of tooling when we get to go to the great big tool room in the sky? :) I keep looking for a member of the family that is into getting dirty, but to no avail!... G.

[@mrpete222]

+gerry mckown nobody in my family has any interest in my tools. However, they would like the money that they could sell them for LOL

[@lumspond]

MrPete, I am wondering who made the Craftsman Chromedge brand back in the 60's. Wouldn't be surprised if it would be Greenfield. I have my Father's metric and SAE sets of Craftsman, and there are several replacement GF's in the kit. Thanks!

[@lumspond]

steve gale Appreciate your opinion. I imagine Greenfield was the quality brand. I'm still curious who made the Kromedge for Sears Craftsman. Cheers.

[@golfman9290]

I hope that's not tubalcane being rude at 12:10, no, oh just me then.:-)

[@--Zook--]

not just you, the 13 year old in me burst out laughing.

[@rusty0101]

Isn't the rule of thumb that if you have most of one tool, you're going to find you need that some time within the next month. If you have the complete tool, you'll need it on a weekly basis, and if you have two or more of the tools, you'll never need it again? And yes I know that's not quite reality, that every good shop has a spare for every tool in the shop with the restriction that if you draw the spare you buy one of those tools for your own kit, that same day.

[@gazzaka]

I would probably just use some kind of mild steel, if I didn't use the wrench too much

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@tedsykora1858]

Half of the time needed to produce something is spent getting a small piece of metal out of what we have laying around the shop

[@arjanwilbie2511]

Do not use alcohol or drugs? Hmmm... painkillers and mind altering meds included?
