Last summer, i restored a kids bike. Red frame with white handlebars and forks, and black accents like the seat post, cranks, and pedals. But it doesn’t look quite right, just like your project. The problem is the color is out of balance. So next spring, i need to take the cranks back off the bike, and spray the chain disc white. That will pull the white handlebars and forks back and balance it out. Your second try with the black lettering on your wrench was spot on.
I remember when you got that cute interesting wrench. It just screamed "clean me up." You did a beautiful job. It never looked better. About led bulbs, we have some led candles. You are right. Led lights are amazing. I have especially noticed the changes and advances in automotive applications. The variety is amazing. Just beware of the cheap Chinesium products.
Thanksgiving was great but… there’s always that one relative that shows up sick coughing and hacking; spewing their pathogens all over for the rest of us to catch. The wrench looks great. Very simple yet classy look. Good taste.
Eric- Why do people do that? I can’t stand people coming over when they are sick. I even get perturbed when I’m shopping and someone is coughing repeatedly. 🫣 Everyone should stay home when sick! 😂👍
Our minds need time to digest problems and find a solution. I've had problems that needed a couple of years to solve. At least one solution came out very well after acouple of years mulling it over. Fortunately, I had the time. Good Luck, Rick
Hey John, If you ant to really clean a part faster and cleaner, I do what you did with the evapo-rust but I put it into my sonic cleaner with just water in it and turn it on (must be filled with liquid or you'll destroy the sonic cleaner). The sonic cleaner vibrations combine with the evapo-rust really does a nice job and the liquid doesn't mix. Give it a shot some time, I think you'll like it.
Thoughts: the body on the Billings is a great candidate for Jewelng. Also have you ever tried powder coating. Harbor Freight sells a inexpensive spray gun for it. With your nighttime Poormans flea mkt walks. You must come across some tossed small ovens to use to bake the powder on the metal. Building one would make a great episode.
Great job !! 28 seconds and only 2 likes , first time ever. That aside imagine the design of the stamp - a concave stamp or some sort of magic going on to make it look so good
Very nice job 👍 great to see it done up both ways which were both fantastic but the customer always needs to be satisfied and you are your own customer on this job 🤩
I really like that little wrench and how you finished it. These are the exact projects that I like! However I spent half the show wondering: did I miss the story on those giant siccors in the background? Wish you a pleasant weekend too!
I like how it turned out both ways. I think it would be hard for me to pick one or the other. I had to laugh at the picture of the bricklayers though. When you went looking for that picture did you put into Google "no F's given bricklayers"? 😂
If we're lucky like with a wooden ladder and a wheelbarrow I restored we can just add more paint and the other paint just gets considered the primer and more protection.........It's frustrating when you actually have to remove a finish or something which I had happen with a shotgun I was restoring and wasn't satisfied with and started over on.
That is a nice looking wrench, your second time looks more original, well done.
I'm currently in doing leather work after years. Talk about sitting on it. We're up to the third or fourth time being the charm.

Hey !John vraiment je préfère le nettoyage et polissage, que le nettoyage et bleuing. Très beau travail, et je trouve cela plus naturel.❤
Evidently, after the 2nd go-round, the bricklayers were quite happy.
great video as always
#norustnovember The font on this is fantastic! Outstanding before and after Mr. John!

There for a bit I thought you were going to jewel it. Looks good as is.
Hi John. I really love that little wrench. Great job. Love the finale look. Have a great weekend. 👍👍❤🙏...
John, that wrench was worth the $8 you payed. I have a few of those wrenches but none has the quality of lettering as yours! Very nice !👍🇺🇸
Beautiful job on the 97! I do like the second version better. Did you remove the orange paint, or just add the black? The finish is perfect!!!

Yes- Powder coating looks interesting and not difficult! 😃👍

It has something of the zippo lighter about it. Very cool.

No Alex -I’ll talk about the scissors on Monday! 😂👍
I've got a bicycle wrench but it still has all its chrome on it. I never knew what it was called.
What kind of maniac only finishes a tool once?..lol

😂😂😂. We had a gut in my town who built his own archway in front of his house- All crooked and messed up. I would look for it everytime I passed! 😂😂😂
@ScoutCrafter and I guarantee he was proud of that archway because he did it himself
Looks great and worth far more than $8.
