Please explain how to disassemble an antique brass chandelier - part 2!

sorry I guess the camera ran out of time or something see what I figured is that back this nut right here up to the end of the threads and then hold the nut and unfortunately what I ended up doing is just backing the nut all the way to where it wasn't even threaded so now this rod is out and so I could pull the wires out of there toss that off to the side and the only thing that's really left now is to get these reindeer antlers or whatever you want to call them off of the centerpiece so I'm gonna flip this over and use my little adjustable wrench I'm not sure I would necessarily suggest using an adjustable wrench but I don't have the right size handy whatever that is looks like about a half an inch so I'm gonna have to make do with the adjustable wrench and here we go our little reindeer antler came right off look at that that's old-world craftsmanship so I don't know how old it is fit in 1950s maybe put that back together oh no I dropped the nut with the nut thread the nut onto the thing now I'm not going to show you that part for you every one of these because it'll take too much time but again you want to make sure all the fasteners are accounted for so that the end user has as easy a time as possible reassembly the thing and this time I'm just gonna kind of spin the antler instead of trying to spin the nut and you see right here maybe you can't see it because my hand is in the way wrap BC right here there's all kinds of like dust and debris that fell out so I'll take a moment and leave my vacuum cleaner to get rid of that keep the workspace clean see try not to vacuum up any of the screws or knots or small pieces or especially the bits from my magic screwdriver now my workspace is a little cleaner makes it much more pleasant environment for me and that's all I'm worried about now this one comes out as see here so I would say if I was in the chandelier repair business I would want at the very least a multi screwdriver was a variety of different blades I would want some ratcheting wrenches now this is like probably half an inch but I've seen these chandeliers with like 14 millimeter are 9/16 inch depending I guess where its mate probably want some adjustable wrenches just to be safe you know just the wrenches will as long as you use a good eye quality adjustable wrench if you don't want to go in the lightbulb aisle at your supermarket and they'll have like a little adjustable wrench there for a couple of bucks don't get it's terrible get a good one go to Sears get craftsman or go to your snap-on truck because really this wrench that I have I paid a dollar for this at a garage sale but I will use this wrench until I'm dead you know one day I'll be dead they'll have an estate sale at my house and somebody will buy this wrench for a dollar or a euro or whatever you know one corporate life credit whatever they're charging at that point in the future whereas if I bought some cheap crappy wrench then nobody would ever want it because it would be garbage so get some decent tools if I was stripping this thing down just for scrap metal then I would want wire cutters to get rid of the wire of course wire itself scrap metal but you got to separate wire brass steel this doesn't have a lot of steel in it but some of these things do have a lot of steel so you want to step out to separate off this now that's what we got now on one hand it could be argued that the person who bought this Jindal ear has their hands full reassembling it and that I've just caused them an enormous amount of work also argued that ship this stuff right here is gonna be a lot faster and easier and safer than shipping that whole chandelier because this all fit in one box and I can wrap it and bubble wrap it and then they can have fun either selling parts or you know putting it back together well jigsaw puzzle and I had an enormous amount of fun taking this apart so that is how to disassemble a chandelier and turn it into a pile of parts let's zoom in a little teeny-weeny bit and you can see the different tools that I use craftsman rope multi screwdriver craftsman big screwdriver snap-on little screwdriver that's a SSD two pair of channellock pliers that I kinda didn't really need but they were alright craftsman little adjustable wrench channel lock bigger adjustable wrench and you can go buy those tools and take one of these things apart today
