Subscriber Sent Me His Grandfather's Wrench for Restoration

In this video I restore an antique wrench sent to me by a subscriber from Italy. The wrench belonged to his grandfather who later died.
This is a nice clean combination wrench for either nut or pipe work. It has a clear maker's mark and is made by Bemis & Call .The condition of the wrench is good with some minor dings and dents, but with a lot of rust. Has a solid hardwood handle with 3 hairline cracks near the heavy steel ferrule. The ferrule is missing , probably this caused the cracks. The handle is protected from splitting any further with a steel ferrule and an end threaded nut which is missing too. The pipe jaw is missing too but I bought a new one from eBay.
In the restoration process, I cleaned the steel parts, then polished and plated them with nickel. I made the parts that were missing from the steel by working on the lathe and I nickel plated too. The wooden handle was restored too and overall this wrench is now restored but kept the patina a lot. This was the owner's request.
I hope you will like this kind of restoration and please let me know in comments what do you think about. Thanks and cheers guys !

    Yeah, the owner of this wrench wanted to keep all the marks and characters. I made metalworking just for making the functionality of the wrench, better. My main goal on this restoration was to clean very well and to eliminate every drop of rust.

    Very good restoration. The wrench turned out very nicely. The machinist work to make the ferrule and end cap is excellent. The letters GNRY stand for Great Northern Railway. This wrench at one time was used by this railway. The Great Northern ran along the upper tier states of the US and was absorbed into the larger Burlington Northern Railroad about 50 years ago. Thanks.

    @@CoolAgainRestoration It always depends on what you want to achieve. My Mechanics makes the tools look better than new, with making new parts and some mirror shine finishes. Hand Tool Rescue is keeping the old character by also using old techniques like japanning and such things. LADB Restorations even repairs wooden parts instead of making new ones. By Old Hand keeps the patina so that you can see the tools were used but also have been handled with respect and kept in honor. They all, together with you, are playing in the same high end league of restoration. But everyone with a different approach to the things. There is no "the best".

    My grandfather made ships for the Navy in WWII. He had a set of micrometers he used. Fifty years later I went into a similar line of work unaware of what my grandfather did. He didn't mention it when I told him about my new job. When he passed away I inherited his micrometers. They were in rough shape having sat around in his garage for over 40 years. A year after that I discovered my great, great grandfather was a machinist for Morse Twist Drill in New Bedford over 120 years ago. My cousin had his micrometers and other machinist tools and they were in even worst shape. He was going to throw them away so I rescued them. Mine I kept in pristine condition. The other two sets I had to restore. I now have all three in frames in my office.

    This video had me remembering my great grandparents and some of their cool antiques. My great grandma had one of those lil sewing machines that's attached to a table? That would be a really cool, but difficult restoration.
