FAQ Answered While Restoring a Billings Bicycle Wrench

[@taravacanti9560]

David is so thrilled for this. You put some serious work into this piece. You’re so appreciated! Merry Christmas, Scout! Get well soon!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tara! I am so happy David likes the wrench! That was so nice of you to do that for him... Merry Christmas! =)

[@josephwilliam9538]

ScoutCrafter hey scout I love you work and you remind me of my dad when he restored old tools but he past away of cancer and I been watching your videos every other day. I would to send you a Christmas gift for you to have and restore. I hope you get to see my message

[@johnburgess6572]

What a great thing to do for Tara AND Scoutcrafter

[@ScoutCrafter]

@@josephwilliam9538 Hello Joseph! Anytime you need to contact me for anything just email me at [e-mail] Thanks!

[@uktony1525]

What a truly useful video. Your output is always outstanding but this step by step was extra useful as each step was plainly explained. The resulting wrench was beautiful.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Tony! I am so glad you didn't find this repetitive! Thanks so much!

[@joeheilm]

Hi Scoutcrafter, it is good to hear that you are on the mend. I know you were worried about duplicate content, but the Billing Bicycle Wrench never gets old. That was a great tutorial, I am going to borrow your idea to use the quick grip to hold my belts, what a great idea. Take it easy and get well. Cheers

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Joe! LOL! I'm telling you I always wind up following your content! =) I think people are starting to catch on! =) Thanks Joe!!!!!!!!

[@frankg3072]

Well Scout that was perhaps the best tutorial you ever did. Everything was explained so it was understandable to all the viewers. I know that the more experienced restorers would find it a little long but novices like myself loved it. Like I told you once before, you’re the teacher we are the students. You are such a good hearted person doing that for that fella. God bless you and get well soon!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Frank! I am so glad you enjoyed this video... I was afraid it might be redundant to the veteran subscribers! =) Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@mrbenmall]

Sorry to hear about your kidney stones. Hope you start feeling better very soon. (David, I'm super jealous. Wish I had a Billings wrench - and a Scoutcrafter restoration. You lucky man!)

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Ben! Again- Sorry it took so long to find your channel! Looking forward to your next project! Thanks!

[@davidjordan6587]

Ben, I'm definitely lucky. I'm surprised it happened. My response to Tara's question of what I'd like for Xmas was said half-jokingly, even. She immediately got to work, as I later found out!

[@RobertoPerez-lr6hm]

Bought a Billings Bicycle Wrench after watching your video. It was identical, except for a mystery hole below the knurl wheel. The "holed Billings" apparently a later version that peened the threaded portion so it could not be easily taken apart. After a tedious vise clamping/unclamping procedure, I got the threaded portion past the knurl wheel. I filed the peen marks out and now it works as smoothly as this earlier version. I risked damaging the knurls' interior thread, but it worked great. It would be nice to see Scoutcrafter take on one of the peened version. Would he drill or not through that hole. 😂

[@HardKnocksForge]

I have lucked out three times so far with kidney stones, that I know of. Passed one that was 4.09mm this summer and a couple in the 2mm range here in the last few months. Add lemon to your water is what my Doc said. He showed me his that was a little over 6mm, and that one put him in the hospital for a couple days. Mine was actually sent to the lab for testing and it turned out to be a normal 'midwestern' calcium stone. I've heard enough horror stories that I drink lots of water and real lemonade now. Another beautifully done Billings wrench by the way, he's sure to be a happy camper for a long time.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello HKF!!! 6mm! Nice! LOL You can wear that as a badge of honor passing one that size! It's funny how many people here have also had them! It kind of makes me nervous thinking god forbid that happened on a plane! =O Thanks so much!!!!!

[@johnrazor8720]

Picked up some good tips, thanks. Hope you're doing better, stones are very painful so don't worry, we won't go into withdrawal if you have to miss a few days . Best wishes for a speedy recovery. John

Really enjoyed this video. Answered several question that I had also. You do excellent work and I enjoy every time you explain what you are doing. I am always interested in learning new skills. Preserving tools and history is an essential skill

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello David! Not to mention this hobby is so satisfying and fun! I am so glad you enjoy it! Thanks!!!!!!!

[@farmhand3724]

Glad you're recovering Scout! I was looking for a Billings wrench recently during a visit to a South Carolina flea market and passed on one that I thought was defective. The hammer head face (if that's what it is) extended about a sixteenth of an inch longer than the fixed jaw face making it appear misaligned. I'm beginning to think they were designed liked this. Your tutorial helped educate me on what to look for in buying my first restoration project wrench. Thanks!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Helo Chris! Yes! The funny thing is depending on the price and shape... For $10 we will give it a shot, but for $40 I want a pristine wrench! Meanwhile I will put 5 hours labor into the $10 wrench! LOL Go figure! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

[@birdie399]

ScoutCrafter is one of the good guys. He does things for other people without the whole world having to know about it. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Birdie! I was hoping to be able to make a video about it without being repetitive... The Billings wrenches are all so nice! Thanks very much!!!!

[@PDX53]

Another excellent restoration! The instructional portion is an added bonus and I'm sure it'll help others who are just starting to restore things. I've been lucky to have never experienced a kidney stone but understand they're extremely painful so I'm glad you're on the mend. If you want to watch a hilarious video about kidney stones search '2018 - just the stone'. It's a nine minute segment of a much longer comedy performance by Bill Engvall and hopefully it'll make you laugh.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Helo Al! I will! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!!!!!

[@artsietopology]

Another great restoration. Thanks for all the explanation because I'm one of your new viewers. One really cringes when you see a tool that's been hammered. A few months ago one of the home improvement shows on television had an electrician putting in an extra outlet and he was hammering nails on with the side of his lineman's pliers. Ouch. - Kathie

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Kathie! There is an old saying that says "Tools are meant to be used" and people took that as saying "Do whatever you have to just get the job done" some things are more accepted then others to me... However I don't turn wrenches for a living so I have the option to take an extra 5 minutes to get the right tool... People on the job usually are rushed for one reason or another... For people like us who love tools it's so hard to watch! LOL Thanks Kathie!!!!!!

[@not2fast4u2c]

I could carry that in my pocket everyday !!!...Thank you for showing all the brushes and buffer compounds you use to make it so nice

[@ScoutCrafter]

I'm so glad you found the video useful! Those Billings are a must have! A 100 year old wrench that still is great! Thanks so much!!!!

I enjoyed the how to! Careful - you're going to start getting more mail than Santa! (you'll have to hire some elves) Luckily I've never had kidney stones, but I hear that little stone feels more like one of the heads off of Mt Rushmore when you're trying to pass it!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello 357MD! You know I always thought the pain was at the end where it comes out, the real pain is in the back just below the rib cage! Like a muscle cramp that doesn't go away! No joke! LOL Thanks N!

[@drstrangefart]

MAAAAAAN I've had small kidney stones on top of a UTI before. I have a pretty good idea how much of an ordeal that was. Sending up a prayer for a speedy recovery. On a brighter note, those Billings wrenches are SOOOO satisfying to restore.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Allan! Oh man a UTI with a Stone is a whole different mess! I bet you were on a bunch of meds then! You are so right about the Billings wrenches, when they are done it's very satisfying!!!

[@drstrangefart]

Long story short, I was at a bad hospital that missed diagnosing the UTI the first time. It was 2 weeks old then and it went for 2 more weeks. I ended up with nothing more than a basic antibiotic and mild pain meds. It took about a week before I could get up and walk around again.

[@ScoutCrafter]

@@drstrangefart OMG! They told me at the hospital that you don't play with infections during a KS attack! They took a urine sample right then and there! Glad your over that!!!!

[@drstrangefart]

That had to have been back in 2010. I went in and they took a sample and did imaging then said it was small kidney stones and sent me home. It kept getting worse so I went back two weeks later. The doctor I saw then said they found and documented bacteria on the first sample and didn't bother to mention it or prescribe antibiotics. I can't really articulate my thoughts on the subject without an abundance of profanities.

Beautiful restoration of that Billings wrench!! We even got to see the Dake prove its worth again!! Great instructional video also. I hope your doing well after your kidney stone episode. I know how painful they are!! I had one a few years back and wound up in the hospital also. When it started to pass on it's own, it was so painful I just wanted to die. I never want to experience that again. Since you're a vegetarian, you need to watch out for foods that are high in oxalic acid (if that's the type of stone you had). Lots of water and try to add some lemon juice to the water. Not too much or it'll wear away the enamel on your teeth over time. It's always something that'll get ya!! Take care and be well. It was a wonderful thing you did for David.

BTW, you do use a saw blade to clean the compound off the buffing wheel, right? (I thought I saw that in one of your recent videos).

Hello NN! Yes, as long as you don't load up the wheel with too much compound you won't have a problem! Especially since we usually always use the same type compound. (Black) I hardly ever have to clean the wheel... Thanks NN!!!!!!!
