In this video i'm restoring a very big old rusty wrench.
Last time I visited my friend I noticed this huge rusty wrench. Its size faszinated me from the first look and that's why I decided to restore it. It's for sure the easiest project I did on this channel so far, but I really enjoyed doing something „smaller“.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Love all the videos from this publisher! Technical question: does polishing metal to a mirror surface inhibit rusting more than non-polished metal?
@Gargoyle112
@Gargoyle112 4 жыл бұрын
Yes. As the surface is more even and "closed", moisture can't set in the little cracks and craters that were the before and so it won't start to rust as easy as on an unpolished surface.

@@Gargoyle112 Another way of saying the same thing is there is less surface area exposed when it is polished. Under high magnification the old rough surface would look like a moonscape. Lots of places for moisture/oxygen to sit. Polished, much less exposed and also allows more rapid water evaporation. Your answer is simpler and easier to grasp. ;-)

There is something incredibly satisfying about watching a skilled craftsman turn a rusted piece of functional industrial history into a work of art. Drop-forging, the industrial process by which this wrench was originally created is by far the best means of creating a strong and durable tool. Compared to casting or machining, it allows the natural grain structure of the metal to be exploited. It reduces susceptibility to fatigue and stress. It is more economical with materials, yielding less scrap. But it also leaves a relatively rough surface. Given the expected use of the tool in question, it would have been uneconomical to sand, smooth, and polish the original forging. "Restoration" is therefore not strictly accurate. Transformation would perhaps be a better word.

But it would be rusty again in very short time, sand blasted metal rusts fast :P I just love how he goes above and beyond with everything, removing production marks and stuff. Allthough some people hate that because you're changing it, I love seeing it as long as it's not for an extremely rare piece with historical value. The only reason it wasn't done by the manufacturer in the first place, is that they made the item to make money and keep margins high... If they could do that while still making their items as perfect as this, they would, so why not see how beautifull it's possible to make really simple items :)

А этим ключом и до реставрации похоже не работал никто. Да и где сейчас такие гайки найти? Последний раз видел подобные гайки для крепления больших штампов и пресс-форм на горьковском автозаводе. Как сувенир использовать - повесить на стенку, над верстаком. У меня так висит огромная "дедовская" двуручная пила.

This man right here is an inspiration on how he sees life and i wish more people could open their eye's to see what he does. What I mean is when someone sees an old tool or something that is roughed up and has seen better days, their first reaction is just throw it away and I'll just buy a new one. But with "My Machanics" when he sees an older iteam that people don't won't, instead of throwing it away he fights to give it a new life and purpose. He appericates the history of each iteam and instead of letting it just rot away or get lost in time, he restores it so it can give back more and preserves it for the future. Just because something is old or roughed up doesn't mean it's not useful or can't be fixed and this man proves that. The history behind these iteams are so great and in depth that just people seeing these from that time period can bring back positive memories or emotions. To me that's simply amazing because giving those people a chance to reminise about their past and open their heart to memories, there's honestly nothing better in life. I wish more people could see life the way this man does. No matter how rough or ugly something may seem to look or be doesn't take away from it's purpose or how beautiful it can become if given the right treatment and time to fix it. The reason I say I wish more people thought like him is simply because we apply those thoughts into daily life. If we see something that is older, roughed up or not perfect we tend to either stay away from it or not want it. To where if we took the time to fix it or simply just never gave up on it then think of how much everyone could do or accomplish in life. If we had the same motivation then we wouldn't throw away so much and could actually help protect this earth from our waste and trash. Just cause something seems worthless to you doesn't mean it doesn't still have a purpose or doesn't mean it doesn't have rich history behind it. We need to preserve things like that and teach the next generation to do the same so that way they can see the beauty's in life without being so judgmental first. Its just cool seeing someone with a passion that want's to preserve all that.
