I’m recovering from surgery and pleasantly stumbled across your channel and I’m hooked, I can’t wait for new videos to be released. John, you are are a master at tool restoration. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Wow! That engine turning, combined with those candy apple colors... it’s the 60’s and I’m a kid again, riding my purple Schwinn Stngray bicycle. Thanks for the trip back home.
The engine turn effect makes a largely redundant tool into pure art. I know these are now wall hangers but my brain is running away on what other tools could be pimped. Love the video and have a great weekend.
Once When I wanted to do some engine turning, I used a round gasket punch and punched out some round discs of fine sandpaper. I then glued them to dowel rods. Worked good for what they were and they were cheap.
Your work blends art with craftsmanship. Before your jeweling tutorial I would have bet the designs were cnc generated. My compliments on both wrenches. They're better than new in my opinion. I like both color combinations as they are but really like the plum crazy purple being an old Mopar fan. I think your on to something with the two colors though. It's almost like you need a drum roll when you reveal the other side. The anticipation is intense. Nice job!
Loved it John , after watching your 1st video on jeweling . I immediately jumped on ebay and bought two 3/8" sticks for $30, and that was with a discount . 3/8" may be a bit large , but it was an in-between size I hoped will work . My all time favorite color is blue . But after looking at the blue in your 2 Bamm videos LOL. I actually like the green and copper tone as my 2 favorites of the 4 . Sigh......Now I have to go back to ebay and buy the 1/4" and 1/8th" if they have them . You just have to pimp out more of. your tools with Jeweling and such in upcomming videos . It's just so cool !
Hi Dave!!! The 3/8 is a great size!!!!!! It will look great! The Double Take Senior was about 3/8 and looks good! I don't think you need a holder with anything above 5/16 because the rod is thick enough. Dave, it's fun just to take a scrap of metal and make a Jeweled Keychain! You are going to love it! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I like all of those paint colors. Nothing like bright and cheerful colors to fight these gray winter days. Nice job on the jeweling too - and the lathe work.
Love to see them in the sun. That orange/coppertone dose look like my old schwinn stingray with banana seat that I had back in the day. What a "flash back"! I'll go with the orange. Keep them coming. Good job.
Hello Andrew! You know the two most FUN tools to use in the shop is the Lathe and the Dake! They are just FUN!!!!!! The worst tool is the radial arm saw! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
ScoutCrafter when I saw this lilac color I thought it was a joke, but then I decided that there was so much dirt in the work of a mechanic or plumber, so that color would bring joy. Thank you for the good mood
Wow wow just when I think that all your stuff is already over the top can you do something like this I'm very impressed very happy I watched your video I'm happy when I watch all your videos thank you very much for all the inspiration and I know it's a lot of hard work and I do appreciate it very much
I'm a die hard Mopar man as you can see on my profile picture that's my 1951 Plymouth Concord I also have a 1965 Dodge Dart as my daily driver. Anyway those wrenches are amazingly beautiful. Great job!👍👍
Hi Bert! I loved the old Darts! My Sister had a 1964 World's fair edition Dodge Dart! Push button Transmission, Dark Green Metallic with Black interior! The inside of that car was so beautiful! Slant 6 engine was a dream to work on! Dodge/Plymouth had some amazing vehicles! The Letter cars were some of the nicest cars out of Detroit ever! Thanks Bert!
I like your Craytex holder... I'll have to make one. I usually just put a short piece of Craytex directly into the drill press chuck. Craytex is expensive, but it does last a long time. Craytex works a treat polishing threads that have been single pointed on a lathe, giving them a very nice finish.
wow another beautiful wrench. that is a masterpiece well done. God bless you family and friends. that is a nice wrench to put on a picture frame double-sided glass and just let them see it from both sides to enjoy a gorgeous wrench. God bless you have a beautiful weekend..😁👍👍👍👍👍
I'm reminded of the jeweling done in Jimmy Stewart's movie "Spirit of St Louis" by Ryan Aircraft in San Diego as they put the finishing touches onto the airplane's nose cowling...
If I saw that wrench before you restored and painted it, I would say that's a "Ford Wrench." That's what those were called when I was growing up. As I understand it, the name comes from the fact that Ford would include a wrench like that in every new Model T or Model A auto that was produced. Very nice job.
Hi Anthony! The Ford wrenches (Ones with his logo) do command a higher price... Instead of 4 dollars they might get 6 or 8! LOL The Diamond Calk and Billings were much better wrenches! Thanks!
Looks Great!! I Remember Dodge Challengers and Plymouth Barracudas, around 1969 or so stsrted using that purple. Coulda been a year or two earlier! Anyway GREAT Job!!
Hi Bill! Yes! The old days when cars turned heads and were just beautiful! What happened? Cars today have no soul or style... I feel bad for the kids today... =) Thanks!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter I agree! I loved it when you could just get a glimpse of a tail light or grill and identify the particular year and model of a car!! Nothing mych like it anymore! They all look the same! Kids today don't know what they're missing!
😆😆in ur last video, there was one comment about hot pink & u complied. Thanx for sharing the information about cratex. Need to check availability in my country. Once again nice restoration. Beautiful.
Omg scout you just keep getting better at these! Love them. Wonder what a vice looks like with jeweling and paint? I think I seen one in your shop needing love.....
Awsome, its just so so cool. You have finised these wrenches in colours you think others like, how about one in your colour- red but you could pimp it up and use a metallic cherry red. Think you could, should you want to, sell these pimped up tools on ebay for $500 each. Your vids just so inspire me, thank you for sharing.
LOL! Isn't it great to see your favorite color used on something!? My least favorite color is the Green that Ryobi uses on their power tools. It's a high visibility color and it just annoys me! LOL Needless to say I won't be buying any of those! =) Thanks!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter. Me too. Lol I'm going to do my brake drums in red so they match. Can't do it though until warmer weather. It's still cold here in Oregon. Take care my friend.
wow...You'r a cnc machine,sir...and these patterns and colours awesome...BTW ı broke my right hand I cant write so long but I'm watching your videos...cheers..
Hello Kadir! OMG! You know, we never appreciate just how much we take our body parts for granted until we have to be without it! I used to make the Scouts learn to do things with one hand just in case they injured themselves in the wild. They were always amazed at how hard simple things were! Thanks!!!!!!!
I picked up one of these monkey wrenches last year at a boot sale, it is in much better condition than this one shown here. It does have a light coating of rust and should clean up very nicely. I am loving these double take restorations very much indeed. Thanks for another great video. Nash, UK viewer.
Hi Nash! These are available by the thousands here but finding one in good shape is the trick! The metal was soft on these and were often bent and mashed and very rusty. I'm glad you found a nice one! They make great project material! Thanks so much!!!
Hi Christina! I'm sorry I should have showed that. I polish the top of the wrench as it is about 1/8" wide. This way the paints are separated by a nicely polished rim! I will show it, it is really a nice feature! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Red lol. Good job sir. I just recently sub'd and have been enjoying greatly. Been going to pawn shops and have found some alright deals in their tool bins.
Hello Jacob! Depending where you live Pawn shops can be a fantastic resource! My buddy James at "Midwest tool review" on TH-cam gets some awesome deals in his area. I live in NYC and pawn shops here are a little depressing,,, When the spring breaks check out some local Tractor shows! That is the best place for old tools!!!! Thanks Jacob!!!!!!!!
I can't really say one over the other because they ALL look fine! Happy Weekend, Crafty Scout and Thank God It's Friday! They can have their 'goodness'.
As a demonstration of the skill of restoration..outstanding. As for something I’d have in my toolbox....not so sure. If my grown sons saw this in my possession I’d never hear the end of it.
Wow. Did not know how this was done and now I know. I have to try this. I have learned so much from your channel. Thanks. A question on the jeweling. If you reverse the rotation do you get a different look? If so , the contrasting look in alternate rows may be interesting.
Hi Tony! I don't think the swirl rotation is noticeable, it just looks like a swirl... I can't reverse my Drill press though so I'm not sure! Good question! Thanks very much!!!!!!
BAM! An XY table would take the guess work out of the "Engine Turning." That's how I do it when doing: Firewalls & Dashboards. Just saying. LOVE the Purple (that's probably the SAE side!) ...Newk from Kentucky
Hi Newk! You bet! I could put it on my Mill but takes a little longer... For the big stuff you need precision or it is noticeable right away! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
I’m recovering from surgery and pleasantly stumbled across your channel and I’m hooked, I can’t wait for new videos to be released. John, you are are a master at tool restoration. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I would love to re-visit those times just for a bit! Those were awesome times! Thanks!!!!!!
Beautiful job on the jeweling, it certainly catcher the eye. I also love the Dunkin’ Donuts color scheme!
The engine turn effect makes a largely redundant tool into pure art. I know these are now wall hangers but my brain is running away on what other tools could be pimped. Love the video and have a great weekend.
Hi Tony! I have a couple on the way! This coming Monday's project totally blew me away. Hope you like it!
Fantastic job! Love those colors! Traditional colors and styling is great but this is an awesome twist. Keep it up, I'm a huge fan.
Thanks so much Rob!
It's so beautiful it took my breath away.
A matching set of Mr. and Mrs. wrenches.
OUTSTANDING! Your technical skills are surpassed only by your creativity! I love these videos, keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Jeff!!!!!!
Those came out great! Super fun, your custom wrenches. Thanks for showing us your process.
Once When I wanted to do some engine turning, I used a round gasket punch and punched out some round discs of fine sandpaper. I then glued them to dowel rods. Worked good for what they were and they were cheap.
I really like the engine-turned look. I wish companies utilized that more. It's attractive and satisfying to look at.
I agree 100% Everything was so colorful years ago... Especially the 60's! Thanks!

Hello SP! For Monday's project I have something very different! hope you will enjoy it! Thanks!!!!
Wow, fantastic job as usual. It's funny, I have always thought most tools look quite boring, you have now stepped it up a notch. Tool modding rocks.😀
You are so right! Why can't tools be attractive? =) Thanks!!
The engine turning is sweet, you put way more time and attention to detail into these tools than most would.
LOL You are so right! =D Like pimping out a Yugo! =) Thanks Daniel!!!!!
Yup, I remember Plum Purple. Another great looking wrench and excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing this and have a great weekend.
Hi John! a friend of mine had it on a 70's Challenger! Very cool! Thanks!
Gotta go with junior. Both beautiful amazing wrenches Thanks for the video!
The copper and the blue are excellent colors, in my opinion. Excellent job as always!
That candy orange along with the jeweling really is something else. I love it. Very retro but so good looking. Great video.
Thanks so much Stuart!!!!!!!
I tend to enjoy the 'over the top' restorations the most. Good job and have a great Sunday...captjack
Love to see them in the sun. That orange/coppertone dose look like my old schwinn stingray with banana seat that I had back in the day. What a "flash back"! I'll go with the orange. Keep them coming. Good job.
Coppertone was such an awesome color!!!!! =) Thanks!
I just picked up 4 wrenches. My Sunday is now spoken for. Great job. Inspiring!!!
You are going to really enjoy the finished product! Any problems just email me! bicycleguy@aol.com
Happy Friday! Had a Columbia bike as a kid which was a very similar orange metalflake,funny how a color can bring back a great memory thanks 😀
Yes! For Schwinn the color was called Coppertone! Love that color! Thanks!!!
Oh yeah! The plum is my favourite. :-D I really like when you make custom tools on your lathe. I wish I had the space for one! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Andrew! You know the two most FUN tools to use in the shop is the Lathe and the Dake! They are just FUN!!!!!! The worst tool is the radial arm saw! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
Cool wrench, love the new way to make the swirl pattern.

when I saw this lilac color I thought it was a joke, but then I decided that there was so much dirt in the work of a mechanic or plumber, so that color would bring joy. Thank you for the good mood
Hi Ivan! There is so many options for a wrench like this! Just a lot of fun! Thanks!!!!!!!!
2 great colors sir. The jewel work is amazing.
I don't know how long you been restoring. But your taking it to the next level. Customized restorations.
The Scout Crafter way.
Great job my friend!!!
Hello Thomas! I just finished Monday's restoration (Not a wrench) and I was really surprised!!! Thanks!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Looking forward to it haven't missed one yet!!-
Wow wow just when I think that all your stuff is already over the top can you do something like this I'm very impressed very happy I watched your video I'm happy when I watch all your videos thank you very much for all the inspiration and I know it's a lot of hard work and I do appreciate it very much
Hello Scott! So glad you liked the project!!!!
SAY NO MORE...ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
Ingenious holder for the Cratex. Love the pimped out wrenches Scout! Nice work! I like the orange.
That Orange in the Sun will give you goosebumps!!!!!
Love it. My favorite is the orange. I love how you went over the top with both wrenches. Fun stuff.

Metal flake purple definitely. Color of my first Harley 45. The second one was the 74. That was metal flake red.
The engine turning is cool. 😎
Hello Dave! Wow! You had a Purple Harley! Please tell me you had Goggles!!!!!!!! =) Awesome!!!!!
My Electra-glide was red but faded to the nicest PINK you ever saw!

You can do so many projects on a small lathe! You will love it!
Great technique, thanks for showing us. I'm still partial to the blue but they all look great!!

Awesome 👍 turned out great. I enjoy the lathe work, also 👍😎🤠

Great work .... Who else would have thought to do that? Very nice.
Liked this wrench as good the other one,Had a buddy that had a StingRay bike the color of the Coppertone or Orange!Thanks for Sharing ,God Bless!
Hi Joe! Loved that color!!!! Still do!!!! =) Thanks!!
I love the orange. I just checked out the Cratex site and they have a lot of cool products. Never heard of them before today. Great resto!
Hi Brian! Yes! I think I might try the Green rod as it was considered coarse and good for hard steel! Thanks!
Departure from Red?!
All for it 😅😂 Keep it going Scout!! 😎👍🏼
