I discuss my entire life.

Two-Man Chainsaw - Bar & Chain [Restoration]

It's glorious.

I have a podcast now!

Do you want to listen to a new podcast I am in with @jimmydiresta  and @blacksmithtools from Instagram? It's a podcast about old tools and the people that love them.  It's actually been a lot of fun and we are already on Episode 4.

I talk about how this blows.

This thing blows.

These are now for sale!

I had so much fun designing these.

In order to get the patron discount (code: nutella) you MUST use the same email to order the wrench as you have for supporting me on Patreon.  If you do not, your order will be cancelled as I will assume a non-patron is trying to get the discount.  If you used the discount co...

Mini wrenches are going on sale soon! Prepare your nuts.

The public launch will be on Thursday, Jan. 31 2019, but Patrons will get access to the sale a day before.  If you really want one, then would be the time to grab one!  I will give you all the details on the Patron launch day, but look for a video of making the small wrench, that is how you will know it's live. &nbs...

Exclusive to patrons! Enjoy my sensual voice over.

This thing is cool!  Also, I am going to try and do some narrated versions of my future videos (including this one), just for you Patrons. 

Let me know what you think about that.  I'll post the narrated version soon.

This is different.

I am hoping you can enjoy this in the background while doing something else.  I am not sure if I will put this on the main channel.  What do you all think?

IT LIVES!

This Canadian Giant power hammer has risen like a mighty beaver to once again work hot metal rods.

STOP! Hammer time.

Enjoy, or maybe not, Part 1 of this extremely over powered meat tenderizer. 

HAMMER + DRILL = HAMMER DRILL

Enjoy this succulent hammer drill from the 1950s.

I made shirts that are for sale so that you can have them!

Patreon Giveaway Winner

So, apparently running giveaway contests on Patreon is against their rules so this will forever be the last Patreon giveaway winner, unfortunately.  

Fortunately, for Chad, he is the lucky winner of the prototype 3in wrench. &nbs...

3in Wrench Giveaway!

Left-handed wrenches complete!

Getting ready to ship the next batch of 500 out before the end of the month.  Depending on how things go, I should be able to ship another batch after that, well before Christmas.  We are trying to up production to around 500/month.

What should I do with these?

I still have these steel sheets from laser cutting the wrenches and I haven't decided what to do with them!  They are 5x10' that are 1/2" thick and weigh about 500lbs currently.  I have 5 of them.  Maybe a good welding table?  Cut and weld sections into cubes for fun?  Let me know what you think!

Antique Safety Axe [Restoration]

This is Part 1 of this video.  The other part is on Black Beard Projects channel.  Just something to fill in the time before the new workshop is finished!

1940s 14" Bandsaw [DiRestoration]

This was fun!

IT BEGINS!

Some progress on the new workshop.  I can't believe it's actually happening!  I have been saving up for YEARS to do this.   Hopefully it all gets finished before the fall.  I do have a few videos saved up that will make sure you all get your fix in the meantime.   I'll finally have enough space...

Antique Seeder

Lots of iron! If you can help me identify some parts, that would be appreciated.

Ol'Rickety is going down...

Feel the power!

International (non-USA) wrenches

Have any of the international (non-USA) wrenches arrived?  I am wondering what the real shipping time is as they give me such a wide delivery estimate.

1960s Electric Chainsaw [Restoration]

I started this in April...

RANCHES

The wrenches have started shipping this week! Orders under #40 have been sent out already. Hopefully you have received an email with a shipping confirmation and tracking number if you have an order number under 40. I am trying to get as many in your hands before Father's Day.
