Hello, welcome to Prodigal Restorations!
As a kid, I loved when I would get tools. I also have loved history my whole life. Restoring things is a way for me to combine these two passions. I love seeing something old and beat up, being restored to looking new and shiny.
The name of my channel is in relation to the parable in the Bible where the prodigal son basically destroyed his life. He returned home and his father accepted him back and he was restored back to his old life. It is never too late!
Occasionally I will also be doing leather work on this channel as well, since that is also a passion of mine.
Thanks for watching my channel!

Trimo 14 Inch Pipe Wrench Restoration
As a Plumb fan boy, I say this with love. Screw the permabond axes. I've done this several times with nothing but hand tools. Not one time did I come out unscathed. Beaten and bloody is how I would describe how restoring a permabond leaves me. Great job, though!
Saub're Arbeit! Gruß Tino
Like it rolled off the factory working on us 1944 plumb this evening luckily found a few new old stock ww2 handles years ago keep up great restoation work on field gear fun hobby
Thank you so much. That's amazing that you were able to find some new old stock handles, I feel like that has to be rare.
great work and video. i have a similar one i am restoring and made a big mistake. I put linseed oil over stain to condition wood. to speed up drying I put level for an hour in the hot. the liguid in the glass level units evaporated!! any way to restore these or get new ones??
Oh no! I have seen somewhere where they sell plastic replacements. That might've been Ebay. Not sure how else to get the liquid back into them, sorry.
I'm a Plumb fan from wayback and have a collection of them, including some Permabonds. I think you've done a fine job, well done. It reminds me of a 4lb Permabond I bought new at a hardware store in Australia around 1970, which still has its original hickory handle and has given sterling service over the years. Keep up the good work.
That’s sick!! 🔥🔥
It's great that you brought this beautiful ammeter back to life - it looks very decorative as a lamp. Regards, Tino Sehr gut, dass du dieses wunderschöne Amperemeter wieder zum Leben erweckt hast - als Lampe sehr dekorativ. Gruß Tino
What if those fingerprints are part of a crime? That a killer's prints are on the other side of that gauge?
Hmmm. I might be able to solve a cold case!
That turned out awesome! I like that you turned it into a lamp. Nice work
Видно зону закалки лезвия.
Awesome job! I might try that copper plating on one of my hatchets....looks cool. Looks like you may need a bench-hook to help you with the sharpening stone from moving around.
Thank you! Agreed it is a cool effect. Yes I definitely could use a bench hook.
Nice job! Looks great. I just found a similar pipe wrench in my toolbox. What is the spring steel for on this type of wrench? Mine have Japan stamped on the handle. Must be over 60 years old.
That's awesome! It's so you have some flex in the jaws so it will grip when you pull up but can adjust when you slide down.
Another great restoration. Nice work brother
Thanks so much!
Looks good brother. I never use wood glue on my wood wedges. I drive them in dry and put linseed oil on after it trimmed up. Been doing it that way for 40 years and haven't ever had a problem. It makes it easier when you have to change also. I drill a small pilot hole in the wedge and use a srew with a slide hammer to remove the wedge. On an axe or a sledge hammer i use a metal wedge going with the grain of the wood.
Very cool to hear that your method works. That is how I prefer to do it, but have not had many years of experience yet.
Nice work. Non of us would'nt have ever known that the logo was upside down if ya hadn't told us 😂 It looks awesome
Haha probably true. Thank you
Nice work brother. Looks great
Thank you :)
Looks great brother. I have a crested Hubbard 8lb sledge hammer that's been in my family for 75-100 years.
That's awesome history for sure.
Nice work brother. The axe and sheath both look great.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Nice preservation of a piece of American mining history. Well done. Looks great
Thank you. This project was near to my heart. I love mining history on particular upper Michigan copper history.
Very nice restoration.
Thanx for making this video. I've collected these levels for a while now, mostly from thrift stores and garage sales. Some have broken spirit bulbs, but I can cannibalize some to fix others. I'll use the rosewood to make some new tools. Liked, shared, subscribed and saved to my playlist to come back to later.
That's very cool. Yes I have seen a lot of them at antique stores and it seems like many people haphazardly restore them. It's very cool that you collect them.
Fantastic job! I can find no serious fault in your processes. Thanks for your fruitful efforts 👍
Thanks! Still just trying to learn more and more as I go

Very nice. I have never had a problem with any hang that i don't use glue on. BLO becomes sticky enough.
Thank you. Yea I haven't really either.
Very cool. New subscriber
Awesome thank you very much.
Very Cool!

Good job again! Greetings from Germany Tino
Thanks Tino!
Well done! Turned out really nice
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Nice!!!
Did you use the same oil for the wood and as lubricant for sharpening? And if so, is it boiled linseed or something else?
Yes I did, it's 4 parts boiled linseed oil to 1 part turpentine.
Everyone has their own take/ preference. I love the Vintage Patina and look of that hatchet. Handle looked solid. I would of just made sure Head was Tight as needed and gave it a few LO treatments. Sharpened it accordingly. Made a Scabbard for it. Hung it up until time to hit the Trail! Nice Work 🇺🇸
Thank you. Yea both ways definitely good options. I do want to make a scabbard for it some day too. That would be cool.
Nice!! 🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
Nice
What did you dump in the tub in beginning?
Evaporust is the brand name. But you can find generic ones. It's basically a chemical that non-harshly removes rust.
Stop working out so much then you won't break handles!!!
Ok
Electroplating is awesome =o
I agree!
The first thing you need to figure out is from which side was the pin pushed into the hole. Most old pins used to have a slight taper in them, so in order to remove it, you need to push it out from the small end. If you keep hitting it from the large end, you will be setting it in stronger and stronger.
Axe looks pretty darn good. I really love using waxes on my handles and using some steel wool to help even out the bluing when you rinse it. Give Real Milk Paint Co and look and a Japanese pull saw for trimming the wedge. Dig the handle at the end as well! 🤘
Thank you. Wow, I have never heard the steel wool method with bluing. I'm definitely going to have to try that. i will check out the paint co. Too. Thanks
Suprising how much rust came off of the blade!
Really liked the exploded view of the level once it was all apart, really cool!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
So good!
I just picked up a Trimo 24" pipe wrench that looks juuuuuust a little bit worse than yours and I'm grateful for your video. Polishing the jaw like you did is a nice touch. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome. I'm glad the video helps. Thank you for your comment.
I'll send you a picture of the one my dad has
Awesome!
'Promosm' 😓
What epoxy did you use? I have an old hatchet that I'm tryin to reuse the handle. There are some gaps in the front and back of the eye. I was thinkin of doin like a cross wedge but idk about that.
It's an epoxy meant for fixing fiberglass or wood handles to axes or hammers. I believe I found it on Amazon.
Great job!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey, thats not a bad one! I’d like to see how it looks after a year or two of regular use. It has potential to gain some character..
Thank you very much! Yea I hope that epoxy holds up.
Have you tried a file to sharpen your axes ? I find that the easiest and fastest way to get really sharp bit
Yea I have. It works well. I think I did the file methods on a couple of my videos after this one. Thanks
Awesome
