Great stuff Sal - love it.
Next step might be some hot rod-style scroll work engraving.  ;) ;D
Cheers for sharing, Justin

I'm thinking maybe a blaze orange powder coat - I could always find it.

I knew i was going to get competition. So far I have Justin with the engraving and Jimmer with the powder coating.
You guys just gave me a great idea, How about we have a competition on whoever can make Alan's handle look the best.
You're out Lee, Dominick you can participate twice ;D.

You guys got way too much time on your hands, but a very fun challenge none the less  ;)
Sweet polishing job... it's dual purpose, now you can get the broccoli out of your teeth while you're working on reels  ;D

I dont own this wrench, but one of my other interests is pimping quality knives; so please dont get me started "pimping tools".  Im going to let you kids play around, just dont get too carried away I just might have to create (that's what artist do) something to put you guys in detention  :o :o.
