"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

I thought tools were supposed to save labor and time, not use up a lot of both. It did come out nice though. I could load a couple of thousand bullets in that time and shooting is a lot more fun than working under the sink. Although I have to admire a guy that looks at a wrench like that and thinks "I can make that better than new".
Pretty cool, especially where he fabricates his own bolt.
I especially like it when they fabricate their own parts.
I have no skills at all with this kind of stuff, but I certainly admire those who do.
Seeing the image, I was thinking, "yeah, that wrench looks like it would clean up just fine", but I ain't got that kinda time. I love old tools, especially high-quality ones.
I'm still way more pissed about the absolutely pristine 1960s-era (US-made) Craftsman 1/2-inch ratchet and socket set that was in the tool chest stolen out of my garage, than I am about the Snap-on/Bluepoint 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch sets that were with it. Those can be replaced if I want to spend that kind of money. The old-school Craftsman were really nice, and obviously better made that the current Chinese-made versions.
I have my step fathers old Craftsman stuff. You can see and feel the difference.
I used to love Craftsman. If you broke it they replaced it.
I broke my pocketknife, as kids do, and they replaced it twice.
I finally lost it snowmobiling. Twas a sad day.
That reminds me of pre-Chinese crap Corningware. They'd replace it if you broke it.
I still have a couple Pyrex lasagne pans. You can see and feel the difference from the crappy Chinese crap they make now.
