Adjustable Blacksmith Twist Wrench
I recently spent too much time making a pretty poor twist wrench that only fit 2 sizes of stock. So I decided to make an adjustable twist wrench. It works a treat.
Here's how to do it:
Tools and Materials
Tools:
Welder
Angle grinder or hacksaw
Materials:
Adjustable wrench
Iron bar. The size isn't too important, just so long as it looks and feels more or less right. I went for 10mm.
Cut!
Figure out where you want your bar to join your wrench. Remember the aim is to have a reasonably straight line so that you get an equal twist.
Mark the wrench with a sharpie.
Cut a section out of the wrench and test that your bar fits.
Weld!
Securely clamp your pieces.
