Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools?

Does anyone know how to calibrate a torque wrench at home?
Clamp head with handle horizontal; hang bucket of water measured
distance from head; add water until clicks; weight bucket; do sum.
On a diagram, I see how hanging a known weight a known distance from the
head will test the torque to see if it's correct ... but ...
And I can visualize how to mechanically clamp a bolt in a vise to hang the
torque wrench on - but then - how do you calibrate the two types?
