Tool restoration projects are my lunchtime work-from-home Zen. Great job! I appreciate the "humbler" approach to accomplishing your restorations, and I think you'll inspire many folks to use their tools as creatively as you do.

Oh the time invested into this is astounding to me. The one thing of real value in this life is time.

As a professional plumber this restoration is much appreciated 😍

Great video, didn’t like the colors you picked at first but once I saw them on the wrench I wouldn’t go another way.

Thanks Matt. I always go back and forth on finishes. Part of me would like to restore it 100% original to see what it must have looked like back in the day. And part of me wants to mod the heck out of it and see what I can do to it. This time....mod’in it won! I was pleased with the final colors.

Awesome...!!! You are a Master. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thank You...? Heading to the garage to clean my humble tools.

The restoration was amazing, the yellow wasn’t good for me. Also, a two component paint would be the way to go. And instead of black paint I would blue the parts instead.

Thanks for sharing that restoration. I picked up some tips on grinding off and retapping for the springs for when I feel brave enough to tackle my pipe wrench. All the best!

Found your videos this morning, very nice job.......keep up the good work and jokes.

I like when u wax to cover the scratches which most restorer don’t do n I like how you mad a colourful paint gr8 job u deserve a big thumbs up 👍

Quality work, definitely deserves more viewers

Just love your work you do everything correctly and get the results you deserve you have a talent

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing

Amazing job man. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Top quality work! 🧡

Just amazing! Well done :)

Again, a super excellent detailed restoration. I would not have chosen yellow -- kind of makes it unhappy!

Looks amazing!! Gr8 job bud!!

Brilliant, I wasn't expecting the bolts to replace the rivets for the springs

Stunning!

I see you're a man of culture (i've got the same tap & die kit, and same vice, probably from the same store....) amazing restoration as usual!

Great job! A true artisan!

Beautiful!!

Interesting style of wrench

A super job!! Wish I had your skill and patience. From the few tool restorations i've done, I learned to leave no bare steel. It started rusting again in no time. So lately I would blue or black all those surfaces. Oiling the bued or blackened surfaces also seem to last longer than on bare steel.

Hey Deon! Absolutely blued and oiled for a working tool. Keep in mind clear 2K spray lacquer is as tough as paint if you wanted to protect ‘bare” metal, but keep that look. Thanks for the comment.

Really beautiful work. Nice sense of humour as well making the video quite entertaining! Thank you! Did miss the pussycat!

Great resto video. -- Btw, anyone that tries to tell you what they woulda done while restoring (aside from just shortcuts for same results) really need to just make their own channel. The style and colors you choose are self-expression -- keep it up... looks great.

Nice.. thank you...very cool

Amazing job with the restoration, I admire your patience with the sanding. However the Yellow was straight up foreigner spec. I feel like a neutral dark grey or charcoal would have suited better or a polished handle with a black recess. Hope you do more of these!

I’m here for these videos bro! You don’t have many is there another channel I don’t know about or what? Great work & I love how quiet the videos are. No talking, just captions & work. Love it!

A great restoration with fine colors but I wonder how long the paint will last as it is not a two-component paint. A tool for display?

Hey Frank! You make a great point. The paint I used was ceramic impregnated...pretty tough stuff. But typically I use off-the-shelf Rust-oleum....not so tough. It’s really a matter of cost. But, 2K paint , as you said, or powder coating would take a beating way beyond what I’m using. As my channel grows it would be fun to do a project in 2K, wet sand it and wheel it out. Thanks for the comment!

@KILORESTORATION

The ceramic paint was left from painting the brake calipers on my car. The plan is to go powder coating for sure. If I wasn’t trying to make videos of the processes I would go buy a $75 used oven and the $75 powder coating gun and be done with it… But because I video it… To get the proper impact for the viewer the oven should have a glass door which adds cost. So that’s more of a future wish list thing along with a sand blaster.

@@KILORESTORATION I think that most of your present and future viewers would prefer to see that it's not needed to have expensive equipment for doing restorations. I would recommend you get the entry level equipment for powder coating to begin with. Please ask the others here for advice.

Hey Ryan! Typically I just buy a kit that includes grinding stones, polishing stones, deburring tips and what not. Dremel makes a great one. But I think the one from Harbor Freight is fine too. To really know what you want to use for any given situation, you just have to experiment. Thanks for asking!

I've got a Vintage Rigid pipe wrench that truly needs restoration. Missing jaw teeth, handle beat to hell, missing chunks out of jaw, rusty, dirty and OLD. Perfect candidate for restoration. Interested in the challenge?

what did you restore?polishing and painting are not restoration

You polished the crap out of it just to paint it.... really don’t get that but beautiful outcome.

Looks really nice, but... 1: Please don't drag your file backwards, it doesn't do anything other than wear the file. Way to trigger an old fitter... 2: Why did you paint the threaded piece on the upper jaw, the paint will wear off with use anyway?

Don't be a fool. Demo the tool. 😎

My 2 cents. Should have just sanded the blazes out of it then CHROMED IT ALL! Ok, at least chemically etched it all black then polished it all to a shinny thing. Would have silenced all the color comments! Also, as a helpful note, go to H.F. and get a small hand held media blaster. Will save you a lot of time cleaning everything up. Provided that you do more of these. Finished project can go up for bid. Who wants it can get it for a price. Why not?
