IIRC in 1910, every telephone set would have had its own battery as early telephone systems did not supply any power to the subscriber as they later did. The “telephone man” would have swapped out your battery on a regular basis.
Makes sense if they were mostly joining copper wire in holes in the ground or a crawl space - any mildly corroded wire could be filed clean in good light and then joined, however they did that back then. Anyone know?
IME if you're using files/rasps a lot then you actually accumulate worn down ones pretty quickly. So this is less weird than it looks. Modern day equivalent is probably some craft using those plastic things that keep your pizza from being crushed. If you had to go purchase one of the things on purpose then it would be bonkers but if you're already up to your eyeballs in them then using them for random little tasks is just sensible.
Possible future projects from 100 years back, a gasifier to tun a gasoline engine for a generator etc., and powerless ram pump. Old ideas revisited. Be well and stay safe. Cheers!
Woohoo!! Keep them coming mate. For your bent file to poke into the candle.... heat the end up with a blow-torch!! Can't believe I have to suggest to YOU on the benefits of using fire!

the telephone man on his telephone post can ram the hilt of the file in the wooden post and has his hands free to work with.
thank you for that.
I assume the point is to be able to hammer the handle point of the file into a timber something on a wall so its mounted
Exactly! He missed the whole point of it (No pun intended)
Funny, I was just sitting here a moment ago, wondering how I could use a file to hold a candle.
The algorithm is reading our thoughts.

A nail-file to hold a birthday candle.
😅 Maybe I completely scaled the project wrong
honestly great to see you posting videos again, genuinely loved your old vids. would love to see a cool series on old lifehacks
Or you could melt the bottom of the candle directly into the file grooves.
Hack the hack.

I'm going to file this under, if it gets this bad, why bother?
That is my entire apocalypse perparation.
