I just came here to see all the crazy comments about how you ruined the temper or the you made the steel brittle, or you made it too soft, etc by putting it in the fire. LOL
Haha thankfully the handle does not have a temper on, it also cooled slowly and that kinda tempers the metaal preventing brittleness. If it were the jaws it would have been another case, those were heat treated.
Fun little restoration! I've never seen a chain wrench exactly like that. That would be a useful general-purpose wrench for larger more stubborn pipe joints. Question: are you concerned at all with changing the temper of the steel by burning the paint off? Wood fires can get pretty hot...
not so much worried about the metal weakening as much as the toxins he released into the air, like lead and what ever else was in the paint, the metal can be re-tempered, can't undo the toxins
Well done!! Very good zinc platin. What is the acid plinke that you use before plating? And the last acid after the plating?Why do you use It?. Do you rinses the parts in distilled water? Thank you Good Job!
AJ I really like and enjoy your work, please don't let a few nay-sayers stop you sir

Thank you very much!
I really admire your zinc plating work. Very durable and good-looking.
Thank you very much! I love doing the zinc plating, it does give the project that brand new feel.
I went to the firepit outside and burn the wrench tools 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔧🔧🔧🔧
I use acetone to soak rags then wrap them around a handle like that then I wrap with aluminum foil and let sit for a few hours. Then I sandblast.
Absolutely stunning. Awesome job well done.
Beautiful restoration AJ good job well done

3:53 Powder coat. A wet blast system works better as it stops the coating from heating up. Or... burn it off.
Haven’t seen you do cold bluing in a while!👍 Good video!😊
Thank you very much! I should do that a little more.

The handle does not have a temper, the jaws do.
I'd be more worried about the toxins being released by everyday driving of cars than the toxins of burning the paint off the handle.
That looks like a cast iron pipe cutter great idea to burn off the paint and then Media blast the handle before you powder coat.it.
Thank you very much!
@@AJRestoration you are welcome young man 👍😎

If this is not a weapon from Mad😳
Does look like it!
El final: puede fallar 😂
meh, mesquite makes pipe wrenches taste peculiar.
👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍
Is it just me or is anybody else so OCD that when they miss a speck while sandblasting that it drives you nuts?
Haha, sorry I sometimes dont even see the missed spots.
Paint is such a nightmare to sandblast, I always burn it off as well
Works like a charm.
Nice job
Thank you very much!
Cool, it looks better than when it was originally on sale 👍
My thoughts exactly, thank you very much!
