I was searching for some new projects, when my friend 'my mechanics' called me and said, that he has an old 'Gressel' Vise for me. So i drove to his shop, took the vise, drank a cold one and drove back to Frankfurt to restore it. This beast was super stuck, i was glad that 'my mechanics' gave me his pressing tool to disassemble this vise. After removing all of the rust off the vise, i gave it a nearly matching colour dark grey. The crank was in a very good condition, so i just sandblasted and cold blued it. The dove was just smoothened, since i didnt want to destroy the fitment. Same thing with the jaws - everything was built to fit, so I just refurbished the fitment. I hope you guys enjoy my work, please consider subscribing :-)

Hmm... I'm sorry, I changed my mind about the gift. Could you please send it back to me? 😉
Haha, I’ll bring it back and you get some cold beers! 🍻 thanks man!
Haha, just kidding 😉 good job
Great friendship.
nice game
The great godfather of restoration is here !
True facts about My Mechanics:
1) He, being a machinery whisperer, has a voice no human being can hear - what we heard in the intro is the accurate rendition of his voice if we could hear him.
2) My Mechanics' tears can be used as cold bluing liquid - they are hard to get though. The only occasion to collect them is when My Mechanics realise he left some sharp edges on his work.
3) Even though My Mechanics lives in Switzerland, his house is located on the beach near the ocean.
4) My Mechanics can turn tap water into a powerful degreaser with sheer power of will, but he rarely does it, as he doesn't want to show off.
So what your saying is my mechanic is. Chuck Norris.
My mechanics can close a revolving door
MyMechanics can cold blue aluminum, he just hasn’t had the chance to do it yet.
My Mechanics can UN-make a new one if he so chooses - he just chooses NOT to.
Well Said!! 5) "There can be Only One" and a chosen protege.
"A protégé may have two mentors at the same time-as long at those relationships do not conflict or compete with each other. However, a protégé can have no more than two mentors over their lifetime." ~¿@
Wonderful!
It seems to me that My Mechanics and Mr. Patina have a different restoration philosophy: Mr. Patina is for "I want to turn back time and have this object exactly as made by the original manufacturer", while My Mechanics is for "I want this object as the original producer should have made it, if he was professional enough".
I admire both of them.
Haha, thats a pretty cool, and very true comment! Thanks Ermanno!
I love how the my mechanics intro has him carefully taking the sharp edges off something, haha. So true to character.
Haha, yes you could identify him just by watching the first 3 seconds of filing 😄
@@misterpatina the perfection is absolute in my mechanics... Nothing to add! But you’re the closest to him, in my opinion!
All the friendships on restoration TH-cam make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Nice intro and awesome work bro 😎👍🏻🍻
Haha, thanks man! 🍻
I'm beginning to think that Gressel is the last word in quality vises. Seriously, these vises take severe beatings and still come out looking brand new once restored, even with severe damage. I want a Gressel Vise.
A Wilton Bullet Vice is also a nice choice in vice's.
Somedays I forgot I've already liked your videos and try it twice, or three times in a row.
It is always a pleasure to see you bring back to life a neglected and forgotten tool.A very fine job.
Thanks! 🙂
That's marvelous and the conversation at the beginning was very interesting!
Sweet vise! I'm sure My Mechanics will quack his approval.
Haha, thanks Ray!
Definitely my next vise will be Gressel !
I watched restoration by you and My Mechanic, and oh boy even rust can't fight vs Gressel !!!
My first love was Swiss Tools PB second is Gressel !
Real quality
A gift! A video from Mister Patina. Wonderful restoration, sir.
Haha, thanks, iam glad you enjoyed!
To paint raised lettering quicker and easier, use a piece of cloth, grip it tightly between your fingers so it makes a small round ball, wet it with paint, squeegee the excess and then use the cloth as a stamp. Works marvelously fast and as long as you are careful there is less danger of smearing paint.
Thanks for the hint! 🙂
for oddly shaped areas like on the vise, you can also use an eraser in the same way to apply paint. The benefit is it won't wrap around the raised lettering at all.
I love seeing old warhorse vises being given love and attention! Great job!
Thanks 🙂
Wolf whistling your vise.
Great work man!
You can plug holes for painting with Aluminum foil. Awesome restoration!!!!
Everything is happy in Switzerland: the people, the cows, and I’m sure your new vise as well - happy vise, happy life! 😉
Yep
Love these crossovers!
Hey Mace, iam glad you like it!
Great collaboration here! I loved the collaboration with Dr. Beer as well! Clever use of reflection and refraction in the video to highlight the Mister Patina logo too!
I was expecting it to say “all done! Wonderful project!”after you brushed off the Swiss weed.
Excellent!
Thanks James!
Just first seconds I thought about Gressel of My Mechanics))) I was right! Good cooperation!
Thanks Viktor!
Another fine restoration and another fine video! As always, I love your attention to detail. No wonder My Mechanics wants it back!
Hey Linda, thanks! He never will get it back…pssssssshhh 😄
Hello mister Patina beautiful vise beautiful restoration good job well done
"Hammering under pressure"... This sounds like my boss' management style. :)
Haha, didn’t think about that 😄
Love the subtle humor.
I enjoyed this vise restoration more then many others I've seen
Thanks Peter, iam glad you enjoyed!
Fascinating to watch a craftsman at work...
Thanks Peter, iam glad you enjoyed! 🙂
I highly recommend getting an angle grinder with a cup wheel to remove most of any rust or scale on old equipment.. such a time saving device
Needless to say! Amazing and inspiring job! You're beatyful!
Thanks Jan!
Love the restoration & the collaboration with My Mechanics. Hope to see more
Maria, iam glad you enjoyed! You definitely will! 🙂
Fantastic Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandfather was a tool and die maker in his prime. I’m sure if he were alive today to see your posts he’d be beaming with joy at the care you take breathing New life into forgotten tools.
Hey man, thanks for your words! I really appreciate!
I watch a lot of restoration videos and I love how you, My Mechanics, Dr. Beer and Tysy Tube are so supportive of each other 😍
Thanks!
As I've said before, your workmanship is first class and it is a joy watching you restore items that would generally be described as junk
Your line on the OCD screw setting nailed your subscribe. I would have done the same.
super job wie man von dir schon gewohnt ist.
Your attention to detail and quality of workmanship measure well even against my mechanics. That is really the highest compliment I can give. Thanks.
Hey Eben, thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate.
Yes. The multiverse of restorations is coming to life
I like especially the final colour of the vice.
Awesssome ,I'm glad that there are still people like that who care about precision and beauty, I thought we were disappearing, I have no words to express my admiration, BRAVO keep up the good work, we are not disappearing! Respect from old BG. p.sss. Please tell me what solutions to use to remove the rust please!!???
💙 the colabs and great restore Mr P.!
Thanks my friend!
it’s a huge Pleasure to meet the great my mechanics
Yay! Great result. Keep 'em coming. Quack Quack.
I totally will! 🙂
Make more films on vintage vises restored they very relaxing to watch very soothing can't wait to see more of them....
Watching this and reading the comments has given me a cheesy grin on my face and a heart full of the warm fuzzies!! So nice!! And well done!! You guys rock!! 🥰💫
Scoutcrafter would be proud of you-he always reminds us to never be stingy with the 50:50!
Sandblasting. ..filing...and edge smoothing. All my favorite things to watch.
AWESOME job sir!!!
This guy must be making Gressel vises
... good one, stay safe and have a great week..
How'd you watch it so quickly?!
@@commentsboardreferee7434 ...i've never watched a bad one...lol..a lot better than just saying ''first''
Haha, thanks Bob! 🙂
Super Nice mr Patina 👍
Thanks!
Beautiful restoration, great job! It's always a pleasure to see how much love and passion you put in your videos! Thank you for your inspiration bro!
Great work, love that my mechanics helps other restorers! That sure is a nice vice, looks amazing!
When the hand filing looks like a fine machine finish... 👌😩 Mama mia, so nice.
You can’t learn being a machine. You’ll be born as one. 😄
Always a pleasure to see your videos, sir. Looking forward to seeing your next project. Until then, be safe, sir.
You too, B! 🙂
You and My Mechanics are basically same. But you are also funny.
Excellent work saving the old vise for another lifetime of service.
Thanks Thomas!
Great work... But had to skip ahead a bit because it's late and I'm sleepy. 😌
Mister, great job buddy!
acetone and transmission fluid are also a better penetrating oil than WD-40. Nice to see you use that!
Great job! Don’t forget to bolt it to the workbench.
Thanks man! :-)
Otra estupenda restauración de tornillo de banco atascado 'Gressel', respetos desde Venezuela.👍🤜🔥🤛💯👍
I appreciate that Mr. P finds a way to work his humor into these videos without having to say a word
Thanks man, iam glad you’re enjoying my work 🙂
PLANE ENOUGH? I'm going to level with you. Your command of English puns is pretty good,.
Makes me want to go back into machining.
Muy buena restauración, Felicidades. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia
What a gift! Wonderful job, like always Mr P. ❤️
Hey Bro, thanks a lot! 🙂
Greetings from St. Petersburg! - II

WUNDERBAR! Fantastic resto on that beautiful Gressel vice. My Mechanics would be proud. Cheers!
Thanks man! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful!! I don't know how in the world you don't have a million subs by now...keep up the videos and I'll keep watching them! Thanks
It seems you picked up that vise really early in the morning! You had to get up at the quack of dawn!
Very nice. Love the color (wait, the not-color? 🤔). And when I saw the close up of the press tool I thought, "I bet MM made that" 😅
I miss something like this lately....
lol....😂😂😢
Really really good production and great work!
Thanks Paul!

Thanks Anto!
Really cool featuring video! Mr Patina and MyMechanics - my favorite restoration TH-camrs.
Sehr schön! Ihr beide seid ein super Team!
Danke!
Wonderful restoration. I like that you used the right amount of grease where it was needed. So many restorers don't. I can't imagine what they are going to look like several years from now! Your vice will be humming along just fine! Great job.
Awesome restoration bud!! My favorite channel👍
Thanks man!
👍A pleasure to see you at work! 😊😊😊
I thought the Swiss were more famous for their chocolate than their weed.
I thought was more of a Jamaican thing 😁.
Great restoration comme toujours 😎
When I saw the spindle heading towards the lathe, for some reason I thought there was going to be some "This Old Tony" humour .... :) :)
Es passt einfach alles…. Deine handwerklichen Fähigkeiten, deine Liebe zum Detail (Schlitzschrauben ausgerichtet) und deine Kameraführung finde ich ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Es macht einfach Spaß, dir zuzuschauen.
Liebe Grüße und mach weiter so!
NICE WORK !!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
