Antique Monkey Wrench Restoration - ASMR Vintage Tool Restoring

[@RescueRestore]

Really awesome! I had no idea a handle made of blue jeans would look so good.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks!!

[@RobertoPerez-lr6hm]

Voted the BEST TOOL RESTORATION OF 2022! Absolutely awesome! Skills baby, SKILLS....

[@willieckaslike]

BLILLIANT ! Never in my life have I seen such handles ! Thank you for sharing.

[@BasenjiAdventures]

Forget “like new”, you made that “better than new”. Amazing!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks!!

[@johnmorgan1056]

Totally agree with you

[@paulorth2251]

Functional just became art, the handle is truly amazing. Nicely done, sir.

[@Syxx423]

That turned out great! Making your own micarta handles was a nice touch.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you very much!

[@elmerjwolsfeld9851]

Your monkwy wrench came out beautiful! So shiny and the handle was amazing! Really nice job!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

My favorite part!

[@MariaTorres-hc5uq]

Nope...most watch these videos for the sandblasting part...😄 I'm a 61 year old woman, the best I can manage is change a bulb... But watching these restorers is somewhat relaxing. Also, most of them take their "art" to the limit. I also watch: Tysy Tube, Veradona, LABD and many others. There is also Baumgartener Restoration for paintings and Thomas Johnson for furniture repairs they're "magicians" of a special kind. Best regards from Lisbon Portugal.

MAGNIFICENT JOB! And those kids make me smile every single time!

[@marty01957]

That was awesome, Tim! Denim micarta was pure genius ! Looks great in your toolbox.

[@geddyzenorseman7476]

Using the denim for the handle was great idea! It looked so nice on it.

[@taytase]

Beautiful work. And the denim micarta was a stroke of genius!

[@michaelsylvester7272]

Oh wow!! You are absolutely amazing!! The wrench looks better than ever.

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Excellent job. The denim and chrome go good together.

[@flyingcod14]

Absolutely fantastic 🙌. Thanks for sharing. I must admit I love the sandblasting 🤗

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@whiterabbit1824]

That is the coolest monkey wrench ever! Wish mine looked like that.

[@robewalk2]

You had a full arsenal on display in this restoration Tim, sandblasting, grinding, polishing, welding and blue jeans? 🤔😳😱😂. Beautiful work as always Tim and I look forward to your next episode. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe and cheers🍻 from an old retired coot hiding out in Tennessee.❤️👍😷✌️

[@Lucky-lp8do]

Dispenser goin’ up!

[@chazzcombs]

That came out nice! That micarta was really sharp.

[@georgeburns7344]

Cool idea for the handle material. Never need to worry about rot!.

[@selenew1242]

The end result was well worth the effort. Thank you for sharing.

[@larannar123]

Beautiful job, really nice piece!!!

[@jcsopinion3899]

Slick as all hell 🤘 Amazing you had so much time to work the resin before it kicked. That and using jeans to compile a handle was top notch !

[@VintageCraftsmanTools]

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Your video was very helpful as to how remove the bottom part off. Thanks for sharing. I'll give you credit once I'm done with mine.

[@TheBadJuJu666]

The handle turned out awesome!

[@Strontiumdog2000ad]

Awesome, and that Denim handle is genius 😎🤟

Incredible restoration and an amazing result.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jlovelace486]

Love the recycled denim! Great job.

[@2quintly]

Looked like someone used that as a "beater" more than a wrench. It sure came out looking better than new. Great job.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks 👍 I've heard these referred to as plumber's hammers lol

[@yeahchband]

That handle is beautiful.

[@chandarussell]

Now that was great. I’ve never seen a handle like that. Bravo.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you very much!

[@brendacraig9043]

Now that was very unique and awesome

[@vernabink2865]

Excellent restoration. Making the handle was very interesting. When you wear the shorts you'd better wear a tie...a long one! Lol

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

If I get to a million, I'll wear them and dance on my roof!

[@RetroRestoration]

Very interesting handle!

[@maxkoll118]

Always great job man! Congrats 👍👍☺

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks! 👍

[@marks3750]

That was a better looking pair of jeans you cut up than I have on right now.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol, sadly I continued to grow while the jeans did not

[@lacucaracha111111]

BUILDIN A SENTRY!

[@yootoobsuks4210]

Another amazing job, but that handle...? Both surprising and beautiful. I had no idea that could be done.

[@Foca10XD]

Spy sappin' my Sentry!

[@cdpgbc-mw2kz]

Canadian viewer. I bought a house 5 years ago and as I was digging up dirt, and re-landscaping I found one exactly like this one. The wood is original, I think it was so soaked in oil by whomever used it, that it was preserved. I am no restorer but I was able to finally get the thing to turn and work. I still use it to this day. Any idea roughly when such a tool was produced?

[@donnaleveron5711]

That is one beautiful wrench, love the handle! Stroke of genius! Way to recycle old denim, that could have lots of applications... Now, the little wrench next to it could use some TRG TLC.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Glad you liked it!

[@seth_5394]

I have that exact wrench, well it’s a long block of rust in that shape anyway. Tried my ass off to get it to break free for a couple weeks. I’ll get it freed up one of these days. I’m sure it won’t look like this when I’m done though. Wow!!

[@dixonqwerty]

Looks amazing

[@randywilliams9531]

Wow that's awesome I've always enjoyed your videos

[@UnarmedAntagonist]

He really repaired engineer's wrench tho.

[@TROY72LEE]

That was really cool I love the way you did that.

[@mantismodels1207]

Wow...Tim that old wrench turned out looking great! Awesome blue jean handle too. I'll bet that took a long time to sand down. End result was worth it! P.S can We have a moment of silence for that work bench...LOL!! slice slice slice..

[@leahcimressik5994]

the jeans are just awesome

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks for watching!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

SOO KOOOOOLLLL. Awesome work as always. Be safe . Mike Espo .

Great addition to any toolbox, you brought it back to life! Well done. And what about the handle? FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for sharing, hope to see you in the hot pants!

Thank you very much!

[@КошмарКошмар-й2б]

Hi TRG 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 awesome restoration adjustable wrench 👍👍👍 it’s a good idea to make a hand out of jeans 👖 👍👌🏽✌🏻🇷🇺

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks 👍

[@bfgreg1]

What epoxy did you use to make the Micarta? Was it a special or specific type?

[@nickjanssens]

The handle was a game changer.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@brentelsing4447]

Looks great! Even though it hurt my soul as an antique tool collector

[@getreal6978]

Good new channel use to follow the candles did you stop?

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Yes I did

[@GoDoWork13]

Awesome job!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thanks!

[@lil_loves_rockandroll]

Gotta admit, had no idea where you were going and thought the denim to be dubious. I apologize. That thing is awesome. Keep going!

[@tamirerez2547]

A QUESTION: Why does everyone love cleaning by sand? (Sandblasting). In my opinion, there is something psychological about it. Sand cleaning looks quiet and elegant, but the truth is that it's a very VIOLENT act! Very aggressive! The sand strongly attacks any kind of dirt, oil stains, layers of rust. Don't we all dream that we could clean the dirt on the planet? Silently and elegantly eliminate all the bad guys, just by pressing one SMALL BUTTON... What a great pleasure could it be to see all the bad guys dead? To see all the crooks flying the hell out? To see the world clean? Man... If I only had one huge sandblasting machine, what a clean world I would make. About the video itself, you are number one! Great professional work. The handle is a genius idea! pure art! Thank you for one more amazing relaxing video!!

[@GmailDaniel]

I'm curious to known how long it's take to sanblast the parts (by put the facteur of acceleration, or the time it's take to do the work )

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

This project took about 2 hours of sandblasting

[@daddynutz024]

Great job love the use of the old Jean's. Keep up the great work. Ps I won't hold you to the million subscriber shorts 😬

[@jwhiteker1]

Refurbishing one very similar. Was the bottom handle cup welded from the factory? I thought they were just peened on there.

[@johnmorgan1056]

Amazing I would never use because of the mirror finish I also liked your strange shape adjustable I the draw great work

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nickimontie]

I gotta see him in those shorts! Everyone, please share this to get a million views!!!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

Do it!!!!!!!!

[@Baphomet-J.-Moon-Fetus]

That is one very shiny adjustable hammer... ;)

[@andy-in-indy]

My first thought was that the wrench would look great with micarta to replace the wood. A t 8:00 I was rewarded!

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

lol Thanks for watching!

Excellent restoration to better than new. But could you make that 2 million subscribers to wear the jeans? Or 3.

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

For a subscriber count that high, I'd wear them and dance down Main Street!

[@richardcorwin5529]

Monkey wrench also known as a plumber's hammer! :-) Oh yeah, thanks about the warning on the Daisy Dukes. Will you fashion a tube top as well??

[@TRGRESTORATIONS]

If I can get to a million subs, I'll wear it while dancing on the roof of my house!

[@richardcorwin5529]

@@TRGRESTORATIONS I wonder what the neighbors will think?? Too funny TRG and I forgot to say that the wrench looks real good. The handle is a perfect match. Thank you!
