Mini Wrench Steel
$40.00
The tiniest in antique wrenchery, this wrench is based off an 1879 patent by Charles Billings. Each one is made from 3/8in solid steel (44W) and is 3in long. All adjusters are solid brass. This 3in/7.5cm long wrench is intended for use with nuts and bolts up to 7/16in/1.1cm, but the jaws open to just under 1in/2.5cm if you need that extra distance. Perfect to carry every day and easily made into a bottle opener. Each wrench is UNIQUELY NUMBERED. Entirely MADE IN CANADA.
Pocket Wrench Steel
$50.00
The most comfortable in antique wrenchery, this wrench is based off an 1879 patent by Charles Billings, but with many modern improvements. Each one is made from 7/16"/11mm solid steel (44W) and is 4.75"/120mm long. This pocket wrench is a new version of the wrench we have been making for years. Every part is now fully machined resulting in much tighter tolerances and a better fit and finish than ever before. Compared to modern adjustable wrenches, the finer threads on the adjuster of this wrench allow for a tighter grip on fasteners. The jaws, being perpendicular to the handle, allow for more potential torque when the wrench is being used in line with the fastener (see video). A chamfer is added to the handle of the wrench for a more comfortable grip. The jaw design also fits square nuts and bolts perfectly. This pocket wrench was originally intended for use with nuts and bolts up to 5/8"/16mm, but the jaws open to 1.3"/33mm if you want to push it beyond it's capacity. Each wrench is UNIQUELY NUMBERED. Entirely MADE IN CANADA.
Mini Screwdriver
$60.00
The finest in antique screwdrivery, this screwdriver is based on an 1904 patent by William Ward, but with several modern improvements. Each screwdriver is made from 1144 steel, ~4in/101mm long, and weighs 0.08lb/38g. The blade is 0.25in/6.35mm wide and 0.04in/1 mm thick. Blade is hardened to 52 HRC. The blade on the screwdriver is now a consistent width, unlike the tapered design of most modern screwdrivers, to assist in removal of countersunk screws. The blade tip also has a hollow-ground design ensuring 0.04in/1.5mm of the tip is parallel, allowing for maximum engagement with the fastener. The handle has been re-positioned so that it is perpendicular with the blade to allow for increased strength when using the screwdriver for prying. The handle has also been designed to encapsulate the handle scales, so that even without brass pins, the wooden (solid cherry) scales will stay in place. The square shaft allows you to use wrenches to increase the amount of torque you can apply to the fastener if they are really stuck! Each screwdriver is UNIQUELY NUMBERED under the handle scales. Entirely MADE IN CANADA.

Antique Saw Blade Sharpener [Restoration]

This tool restoration was mostly aesthetic and partially functional. The tool is a Minute Saw Filer made by the A.F. Geisinger MFG. Co. in the 1920s. It was mainly used to sharpen circular saw blades on trimmer saws. Trimmer saws were small table saws used by printers to trim printing plates so they would fit in a printing press. It was $25 USD in 1922, which is about $350 USD in 2017. The saw sharpener was covered in random black paint on top of it's original green paint as had some rust on it. I decided not to polish the brass plate up too much as I really do like the look of brass patina. Generally, in the restoration world, polishing brass is blasphemy. It was difficult to figure out how this machine works as the patent documents do not explain it very well. The main arbor and threaded nut needed to be moved to match the patent documents and a cone shaped metal piece was added to ensure the tool can work with a variety of saw blade arbor sizes. I could see myself using this on modern carbide-tipped blades if I can find a triangular diamond file and a blade without an anti-kickback design.
