Mirror Mirror... Wrench Restoration

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.
