the handle scales , is that rosewood? i love the colour of it 😲😲and i love the way you didn't over-restore it, like almost every video i see these days -_-
Hey, good job. I love that you peened the pins instead of epoxying like pretty everyone else on youtube. After all, the original wasn''t epoxied. The ones I've done I also peened the brass pins. The part I find hard is fitting the new scales. You said C. D. Smith Co. I haven't heard of them. Did you mean H. D Smith?
@@kramerdesignco Agreed in full. It's your tool to do whatever you want. But I also agree with people having an opinion as long as they aren't trying to force it on you. I have done a perfect handle screwdriver restoration that I did an over the top job on with a mirror finish and peened pins. I decided to do the OTT resto because it was an unknown brand with no markings.
Nicely done. Good looking repair and upgrade.
So nice! I finished one my self. The wood is looks great! I used manzanita on mine. So much fun!
Very good 👍, very nice 👌
Excellent restoration! Are the wings on the side for leverage?
Yes, they are.
A well restored collectable.
Thank you!

This is coco bola wood from Costa Rica! Very nice color. Thank you for the comment.
Why did you oil under the grips before installing them?
It is bare steel, so a coating of oil prevents rust
Hey cool!!

Thank you! I think you're right about HD Smith. I was going off of what the person I bought it from said.
I would have preferred to see as much of the original patina on the metal as possible and I would have aged the new scales to match.
Not me. I love how this turned out. Feel free to restore things how you'd like, tho.
