So a while ago I got this "Bottle Jack" and two other ones at the recycling yard. I did a restoration on one of them and in my boredom, I decided to make a kind of a how-to video of me repairing this one. The third bottle jack is unfortunately not fixable since it has been welded shut. Anyways I hope you enjoy the video. If you have any suggestions for improvement, or compliments share them below!

Just look at this Gameboy being saved haha. I really enjoyed making this one, there is a lot more on the way, I am having way too much fun making these. * Regular restoration videos will still be posted as soon as they are ready. I am using this as filler so I don't have to post large restorations in parts, I have noticed viewers don't like the parts series.

Ladies and Gentlemen. This week we restored a Dietz Lantern. This was great fun to do and one of our quicker restorations. Burns 23 hours on 15 ounces of fuel with 6 Candle Power Output. Since 1840 Dietz kerosene lanterns have been used on boats at sea, in the covered wagons of pioneers heading west, for railroad signals, and by farmers finding their way to the barn in a snowstorm. The Dietz Oil Lanterns are made to be used on the homestead. They're resilient even when accidentally knocked around. Due to seamless operation even in lawless winds, Dietz lanterns are known around the world as, "The Old Reliable." Some history on the company. At age 22, in 1840, Robert Edwin Dietz bought a small lamp and oil shop in Brooklyn, NY. Robert, with his brother William, called the company Dietz, Brother, and Company. One of their first products was a candle lantern; they later made sperm whale oil lamps, girandoles, hall lamps, and chandeliers. Three more of the brothers joined the company in 1855, and the name became Dietz and Company. That same year, the brothers built a large factory in New York City, which was later destroyed by fire in 1871. The next year, 1856, they patented a flat wick burner to burn coal oil, a much cheaper fuel. In 1868, Robert sold his interest in Dietz and Company and partnered with Absalom Smith to form a new company, Dietz & Smith. When Smith purchased 6,000 velocipedes (a mid-19th-century bicycle) on company credit, Robert decided he was a bad business partner, bought Smith’s interest, and continued the company as R.E. Dietz. In June 1897, a devastating fire destroyed their factory in New York City. To avoid going out of business, the company merged with the Steam Gauge and Lantern Company of Syracuse, and eventually moved the company’s manufacturing center to that city. In 1906, Dietz began making acetylene gas headlights and taillights for automobiles and trucks. In 1956, company president, Gerry Dietz, established R.E. Dietz LTD in Hong Kong. Two years later, he introduced the Visi-flasher road marker and established the Hazard Division to make and market the product. The company commemorated its 125th anniversary in 1965 with a celebration at the Hotel Syracuse. That year, the company was one of the largest manufacturers of truck lighting and hazard warning devices. In 1971, they ceased making lanterns in Syracuse, moving all production to Hong Kong. Although sales were strong during the 1970s, they dropped to an all-time low in 1990, the company’s sesquicentennial year. The company closed its doors in Syracuse in 1992 and the building became the new home of Superior Office Furniture Company. Today, after “a nearly $20 million renovation of the factory in Syracuse’s Park Avenue neighborhood, the building has been transformed into apartments and offices,”. Please remember I am not a professional restorer, this is merely a hobby and a passion for me, I am learning as I go. With that said, I hope you enjoy the video.

I had this chain pipe wrench for some time now, saving it for some time. I am currently busy with upgrades to my workshop so I could not take on a large project so this one turned out to be a perfect candidate.

The Stillson wrench, or Stillson-pattern wrench, is the usual form of a pipe wrench, especially in North America. The Stillson name is that of the original patent holder, who licensed the design to a number of manufacturers. The patent expired decades ago. Another type of wrench often used on pipes, the plumber wrench, is also called a pipe wrench in some places. The Stillson wrench is an adjustable wrench (spanner) with hardened serrated teeth on its jaws. The hard teeth bite into the softer metal of the round pipe and provide the grip needed to turn a pipe, even against fair resistance. The design of the adjustable jaw, which permits a certain amount of intentional play out of square, allows it to bind on the pipe, with forward pressure on the handle pulling the jaws tighter. On some models, two leaf springs, above and below the knurled adjusting knob, help unlock the jaw when pressure on the handle of the wrench is released. Pipe wrenches are not intended for regular use on hex nuts or other fittings. However, if a hex nut becomes rounded (stripped) so that it cannot be moved by standard wrenches, a pipe wrench can be used to free the bolt or nut, because the pipe wrench is designed to bite into rounded metal surfaces. Pipe wrenches are classified by the length of the handle. They are generally available in sizes from 6 inches (150 mm) to 48 inches (1,200 mm) or larger. They are usually made of cast steel. Today, aluminum might be used to construct the body of the wrench, although the teeth and jaw remain steel. Teeth and jaw kits (which also contain adjustment rings and springs) can be bought to repair broken wrenches. History Daniel C. Stillson (1826-1899), a mechanic at the Walworth Company, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, created the first such wrench. On October 12, 1869, U.S. patent #95,744 was issued to Stillson. On 17 August 1888, the Swedish inventor Johan Petter Johansson (1853-1943) took out his first patent on the adjustable pipe wrench. The Swedish Patent Office issued the patent again in 1894. The idea emerged after he established his company Enköpings Mekaniska Verkstad. Back then, nut dimensions were poorly standardized, so each time a tradesman was out on a job, he needed a trolley to take a set of fixed pipe wrenches with him. Johansson's tool could grip nuts of different dimensions. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP2c3UxHhO0
