    Absolutely gorgeous. That is a absolutely 1000% improvement over what it was. I can't wait to use my new Christmas presents 30" belt sander and drill press to restore some of my dad's tools as well as finish restoring a 1913 Weed Tire chain tool. Weed was the originator of metal tire chains. I got that from a coworker who works in tire industry. It belonged to his dad, but he didn't know what it was for! Thank you for having your channel so I can get all by ideas for restoring tools. You are my mentor!

    Oh Christmas Dake
    oh Christmas Dake
    You bend it back
    When it ain’t straight.
    Merry Christmas Scoutcrafter. That wrench turned out great. Jeweling and candy apple paint are two of my favorites. Take care.

    Thanks, J! Lots of good stuff in that. Makes you wonder how these things get bent....
    I'm working on an old ENFO (English Ford) auto wrench similar to yours - hopefully get it up in a couple of weeks. Merry Christmas 🛠️👍🏻

    In the spirit of the season, I'm feeling generous, so I'll give you 4 bits for that junk wrench. Think about it, Scout, you'll double your money. Seriously, John, thank you so much for all you do for us during the year. May your days also be filled with happiness and, most importantly, good health.

    Merry Christmas John! Nice to see another impressive restoration. Thanks for the shout-out on the Mosh. FYI that 200 fl oz Tide bottle was designed on pencil and paper and was in production when I started at the company in 1998. I have worked on the development of almost all Tide bottles since then. 😀

    That vice in deep candy red?
    No one else is going to have a vice like that.

      Didn’t you feature a vice a little while ago that you were thinking about restoring?
      Well you don’t need another one for practical reasons so why not go nuts?
      The full candy apple red, fully polished scoutcrafter special that nobody else has done yet.

People who think this is crazy (like I first did) just don;t get it! Happy New Year John and thanks for a great video. I hope you had a great Christmas and have a great New Year as well. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

      Hi Lee- For me taking a worthless junk wrench and turning it into something fun to use and look at is a win/win situation... The funny thing is once people "get it" they are disappointed when I do just a regular restoration, they are looking for color and shine now! LOL!!!!!!

    Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones John. I really didn't expect you uploading a video today, but I was kind of hoping you would all day long. It is allready about 10.30 pm here, so our festivities are done for today. And I would definatly have sneaked out for one of your videos to be really honest. The wrench turned out great, I got a would handled crate opening tool/axe in the mail yesterday I hope to get started on soon. I look forward to that. This wrenchs just looks amazing! Thanks a lot, you are truly appreciated!!

      @ScoutCrafter  5 лет назад

      Hi Noah- Lathe restoration is harder then it looks because you always wind up chasing accuracy and trying to determine how far you want to take it! I have seen guys restore South Bend lathes to better then new tolerances and if you added labor and parts costs they could have bought new! However when Old Iron is in mint shape it's unbeatable! =) Hope you will videotape some of the restoration!

      @@ScoutCrafter No much video unfortuenetly. There is just too much going on to make a good video. I've got some forum threads with pictures about it that I can sent you a link to if you'd like. It's a 1943 Sidney 18.5x54. Wieghts about 4700LBS. It's got something like 30+ thousands wear in the saddle. To be right again everything would need to be milled, ground, and scraped. We just don't have the equipment, time, knowledge, or money to do that right now. It will be good for lots of stock removal, and maybe in the future I can put some money into it and chase tenths.
