My first steam-powered tool restoration!

Well this was a learning experience, to say the least...

What do you even call this type of vise?

This is the greatest vise ever made. End of discussion.
2021-06-24 01:26:07 +0000 UTC View PostAUCTION: Antique Ratchet Wrench Patent Reproduction
Since I am getting a lot of messages about what happened to the eBay auction for this wrench, I will share the reason with you here.
For some reason, of which eBay will apparently not tell me, they have banned my account from ever using their service again. They will not disclose why. All I know is that they think I violated some terms and there is no recourse.
I think the fact that I created a new account and had high-value bids on an item right away, might have suggested that I was money laundering. Who knows?! I can't appeal the decision either.
So, I have moved the auction to the comment section on this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/COtNm-TDCyd/?igshid=1c8mfhvzekdj3
Sorry for all the craziness and good luck!

Have you ever thought to yourself: "Hey, my door needs more mortises!". Well then, do I have something for you!

When your door needs mortising, look no further.

Last call for any custom-handled screwdriver photos/videos for inclusion in the screwdriver launch video.
Send them to handtoolrescue@gmail.com
If you have posted them here or emailed me photos/videos before, no need to send again.
Thanks!
Pre-sale for patrons begins when I post the launch video on Feb. 3, 2021.

I took this restoration to a whole other level.

I took a very level-headed approach to this one.
2021-01-19 16:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostIT'S ALMOST TIME!
After multiple machinery failures, the screwdrivers with handles are almost ready for you all to get first access.
What does "almost" mean, you ask? As long as nothing else slows me down, they should be for sale at the end of January/start of February......2027.....just kidding.
These screwdrivers have hardened tips and solid cherry handles for an extra $15 over the DIY ones.
Thank you to all that have sent me a photo/video of the screwdrivers you have completed yourselves. I shall show a sample of them off in the launch video.
Keep it moist!
Also, if you want to watch what I am doing in real-time, I would suggest you check out my daily stories on Instagram to watch a man slowly decline into madness.

I've updated the screwdriver handle template for you all to reference. Should be a little more informative now.

The Patron-only sale of the large screwdriver kit will finally happen on October 6th, 2020!
Limited supply of ~100 units.
If you miss out on this, do not worry, as I will have more kits for sale later.
Thank you all for your support in getting these made. It took a few years to sort everything out so I can sell these at a reasonable price, while still maintaining quality and having them all made here in Canada.
The screwdrivers with handles already attached and finished will be available later as well, but obviously, at a higher price.
If you do grab a screwdriver kit and make your own handles, I would love to see the process or end result! I want to show off your finished screwdrivers as examples in the launch video on YouTube.
I will also provide a link on the screwdriver sale page to where you can download your own template or even the full 3D CAD model if you have something very fancy in mind!
