Post up your homemade wrenches.
If possible show how the wrench is used, if its not obvious.
Here is some of mine.
Wrench for quick change tool holder on metal lathe.
Cheap spark plug socket welded to a custom arm,
chrome on socket didn't even burn off.
In operation
Square turret wrench for metal lathe.
Machined with the lathe and finished up with a die grinder and files.
Installed on the turret
Hex wrenches for a four inch Criterion boring head.
Square drive T-Handle for a sanding machine.
Square pocket was made by milling, and then welding a cap over and
then turned to the final size.
Using the wrench on the Solem sander
Hex wrench for a rotary shaper.
2-3/4" Spindle wrench for a rotary shaper.
7/8" thick, sawed out with bandsaw and sized with a disk sander
until it just slipped on the machine's arbor.
Spindle wrench for Clausing metal lathe.
5/8 thick aluminum, round section machined with a boring head
on the mill, rest of the wrench was sawed out with a bandsaw,
and then rolled over with a router.
I used an Allen bolt (socket head capscrew) for the pin, as the
head was just the right size, for the holes on the lathes collar.
Guess I did a good job on this, because my friend wanted to
know how much it cost me, and where I got from.
Not exactly a wrench, but I will throw this one in anyway.
Die handle for 1-1/2" round dies, got a new boring head in 1989 and
had to try it out on something.
