Rusty Adjustable Wrench - Restoration
In this video, I restore an adjustable wrench (also known as a shifter). While browsing Facebook Marketplace, I found this amidst a selection of old tools for sale. Intrigued by the potential of restoring it for the channel, I decided to make the purchase.
The wrench had clearly been laying in a toolbox under a very leaky garage roof for a while. This prolonged exposure to water had led to extensive rusting. A challenge to restore, but perfect for a contrasting before and after shot at the end of the video.
The initial step in restoring the wrench was its disassembly. However, this proved to be quite the challenge due to the adjusting gear being seized solid by rust. My initial attempt involved an overnight soak in rust remover, in the hope of dissolving the rust, allowing the gear to move freely. Unfortunately, the rust remover's performance fell short of expectations (Nitro Mors I want my money back).
Failing this, I decided to try a more hands-on approach. Using steel wool, I meticulously scrubbed away the rust, bringing the rusty surface back to bare metal. Then I clamped the gear between the vice grips, turning it slightly. I repeated this process until the gear was moving freely.
To completely remove all the rust from the individual components I opted for sandblasting, effectively stripping away all traces of rust and grime, leaving behind a uniform bare metal surface. I followed this by refiling the knurling on the gear. I really wasn't too happy with how it turned out, the individual grooves were so small I struggled to uniformly file them with the needle file I was using.
I continued by sanding all remaining surfaces smooth with a mixture of 80/120/240 Grit sand papers. Once I sanded the surfaces smooth, I thought that the wrench body looked a bit plain. I enjoy adding my own personal touches to all my restorations so for this one I decided to electro-etch my 'Restore More' Logo into the wrench body. Afterwards, I nickel plated all the individual components to give them a rust resistant finish.
To finalize the project I thought the etched logo needed colour. So, I enamel painted it blue. You would think this was an easy step... It took me 14 tries to get it right, 12 hour curing times each try. I was pulling my hair out by the end of it but eventually we got there!
I really hope you enjoy the video, please give me feedback on what you liked and how I can improve for the next one. I read all the comments and try to reply as fast as I can.
Thanks,

Old Rusty Kukri - Restoration (khukuri) Amazing Outcome!
มุมมอง 1Mปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I'm restoring a kukri knife. This is the national blade of Nepal, used for all sorts of daily tasks as well as being the melee weapon of the famous Gurkha warriors. Because of this blades heritage and history I really wanted to do it justice by using the best materials I could get my hands on to bring it back to life. I started by removing the handle which was extremely worn out,...
Butchers Cleaver - Restoration
มุมมอง 19K2 ปีที่แล้ว
My good friend from Germany was clearing out his shed when he came across his grandmother's old butcher's cleaver. I told him I'd love to restore it and he was kind enough to send it over to me! Not much is known about the origins of the blade as it doesn't have a maker's mark on it at all. But it was likely forged by a local blacksmith to his grandmother as you can see the forge marks on the t...
Rusty Old Axe - Restoration
มุมมอง 488K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. In this video you see me restoring a very old and rusty axe. It was gifted to me by my friend from work which I greatly appreciate. The axe itself has a classic woodsman's axe shape so I was excited to restore it! As I inspected the axe I noticed the handle had suffered from exposure and was rotten in certain areas. This was good for me as it gave me reason to cra...
Vintage Camping Stove - Restoration
มุมมอง 19K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone! This time I have restored an Optimus No1 camping stove. This stove is manufactured by the Swedish company Optimus and through my research I have matched this model to the one manufactured in 1920-1924 making it 100 Years Old!! I went to a garage sale in winter and found this tucked away in the corner. I am very happy to have found it and think it looks great after being restored...
Hedge Shears - Restoration
มุมมอง 10K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Hedge Shears - Restoration In this video I am restoring very rusty hedge shears. As you can see these shears are in really bad shape from what I presume is years of exposure to the elements. They suffered from complete rusting and very heavy metal pitting but I knew they still had life left in them! A few things I have never done before were needed for this restoration, such as making new handl...
Rusty Tenon Saw - Restoration
มุมมอง 33K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Antique tenon saw restoration. I bought a bag of old tools off of a guy having a outhouse clear-out and this was one of the old tools in the bag. I decided to bring it back to life using a series of easy to do techniques. I began by dismantling the saw in its entirety. This was a bit difficult due to the age of the tool and everything was really stuck together! The saw blade itself had burrs ar...
Great job. I can do better, but I’ll need to be sleeping to pull it off.
Vielleicht sollte man erst mal den Schraubstock Befestigen bevor man so Film macht.

Looks great buddy Merry Christmas 😊
please know that some of your videos are being stolen and posted into fb by other pages and gaining lots of views.
@@christianmolina9589 cheers buddy could you tell me what pages?
is handle from which wood? pine ?
European ash 🌳
I subed . Nice work. I've restored a few now. Only one that I've took to a mirror finish like you did. It was my first one and it doesn't look like that anymore 😅. I just get the rust off now and take down mushroom edges if there's any . Put some gun blue on. I'm afraid of losing the stamping on some.
What are the tools that you used for the sheathe? Also how/what type of stiching is that?
Не стоил этот колун такой работы.

WELL DONE BROTHER.
It's khukuri not kukri
Lovely job, great vid 👍
Watching you restore the Kukuri was an absolute joy. As someone who takes immense pride in our national weapon, seeing it return to its former glory through your skillful hands filled me with a deep sense of happiness and pride. Thank you for treating it with such respect and dedication . it means a lot to see the Kukuri honored in this way. love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Brilliant. 1:1,000,000 😊
Where can I find spares in Hyderabad
Süper work brother ❤❤❤❤
Some glue the wedge Some don't. Easier to reset if not. Leaving the handle proud above the head is a good call! New subscriber! Loved the Khukuri restoration!
I'm wishing I didn't glue the wedge on my last one 😅. I don't think I will from now on.
: )
I recommend getting a Shinto rasp for fitting the head, Goes a lot faster.
The axe was made by Spear & Jackson, a British manufacturer of high quality gardening tools.
Jai ma kaali Ayoo Gorkhali..:❤❤❤
I think your friend sold that on Ebay and I bought it - it is great - good work - you started from scratch - a true journeyman - but there are lots of other people who are buying the cheaper stuff and then stripping it down and redoing it - which is also labor intensive and I don't mind paying what their time is worth - I do however wonder about the quality of the steel they are getting to begin with - all the stuff from China - however we must also be aware that if China wants they can make some of the best steel products - if they are not trying to cut corners for profit - I stick to trying to buy older made stuff - when quality was not so much an issue - so your video was rather helpful in that regard of restoring - sorry to say that although I once made a living as a carpenter - I at my elderly age think when you are cutting a new handle - surely one of the big box stores has handles that could be made to work - lol. - but I want to thank you for making a really beautiful video of all the possibilities of what you could do if you get serious - I like the electro stuff - I just been using vinegar and salt and then sanding - but admittedly - not getting the result you did. now I might have to do the electro thing. (man found dead near a fish tank of axe)
cool!
Old tools like that is common in my area; where abandoned mines sit and decay. I remember a group of people going into one and found a room full of old shovels,axes,etc.
