@@HueyLionsheart I've brought several 'Record No.0s & No.00s' from the UK, but the postage is about 4 times the cost of the item!!! ...I have 8 No.0s & only a couple of No.00s ...I have a soft spot for 'Record Vices ...also I have a No.6 on my woodworkers work bench and at the other end is my 'Record No.52 Woodworkers Work Bench Vice' ...would love to get the "Record Display Stand' one day!
@@peterstevens6555 They do tend to be good sturdy vices and I'm always on the lookout for neglected ones at affordable prices. ( I can only imagine the shipping on some of these beasties!) I more recently was gifted an unloved Record No. 110 ( I believe it is much older than the usual ones I happen across) which I also video'd a rebuild of and that looked so much different after a clean up and repaint. I do have a No.52 woodworker to do at some point and also a No.2 engineers too! Hope you get the display stand, would love to see that!👍😁
@@HueyLionsheart I do hope I get a display stand as well, have to get one from the UK ...might fly over there one day on holiday and pick one up along with a few other things regarding 'Record Vice's' !!!
Hi Huey, Great restoration. About 18 months ago a neighbour was clearing out and old garage and in the skip was a Record No 3 attached to a piece of old kitchen worktop. They said I could have it if I wanted it. It wasn't in as bad a condition as yours but was great fun bringing back to former glory. It serves me very well, and it was FREE!!! Really enjoyed this video. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw! The No.3 is a nice sized vice that if you have to buy can cost a few quid, so to get one for free is brilliant, I bet you've found it invaluable in that time. My other 2 mechanics/engineer style vices are both No.2 and although incredibly handy just not quite big enough for some of the stuff I do. And then there's the woodworkers vice I have....another Record and it's a BEAST! I'll do a clean up and overhaul on that one at a later date too. Thanks for checking it out mate. 😁👍
You’re very lucky 🍀. Narrowly averted getting your hands dirty ! 😂 Lol ,, looks a treat buddy 😊 Have a great weekend I use a Record 6 almost daily . Nothing like the feel of a good size vice.
LOL Vince...that's why I wear the gloves mate...not only does it keep my dainty little hands clean but also...you can't say for sure if they are actually mine or my talented friends! Nudge nudge wink wink. Know what I mean eh? A Number 6 would be a great vice for me too...but I'd find myself forever saying : I am not a number....I am a free man! Whenever I went anywhere near it!🤣 Thanks for checking it out mate.😁👍
Thanks Woody! Woodturning will return again....I have finished the rebuild of the CCL I aquired. I'm really rather pleased with how she turned out too and am now patiently awaiting the relevant monies to buy her a chuck.. 😁👍
Funny, I was recently thinking I should restore my old vice like yours, has a nini anvil built in too. I'm no metal worker though... Curious why the need fo the spring? Also the handle on mine is bent, any ideas how I could straighten it?
Thanks for checking it out, I'd definitely recommend at least a strip for maintenance, clean and regrease. The handle could be straightened very easily if you have access to some oxy acetylene to heat it and gently bend back to shape. Otherwise it's trial and error with a hammer and block. Worst case scenario, use a grinder to cut it off and replace with a piece of Bright Drawn Mild steel with a collar at each end. Good luck with it if you go down the path of restoration, would be great to see how you get on! 👍😁
I don’t know about the vice but your cold chisel definitely needs that mushroomed end taken off before someone gets a chunk of steel coming off and embedding itself in their face
You're absolutely right! I have absolutely used that chisel for allsorts over the years and become that used to it that just didn't realise exactly how beat up it had become. Next time I get chance to get into my shop(Not that often with my fulltime job and small family) I'll get the angle grinder on it and give that mushroom a trim and return the clean chamfers to it. 👍. Thanks for checking my video out and the valuable safety check too. It's very much appreciated. 👍😁
@@danceswithaardvarks3284 Always on the lookout for one 'just a touch' bigger. I'm very tempted to let one of the No.2's go if I find the right replacement. 👍😁
Well done. Love the blue.
Thanks Doug! The record vices were traditionally blue and with it being a favourite colour there was never anything else in the running.👍😁
Looks great
Cheers Ron, keep your eyes peeled for the latest vice for my workshop, dropping anytime soon!😁👍

Great video and job thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember stay safe and make 🍺🍺👍👍
Thanks Brian! This one was definitely worth spending the time rescuing, it's used so much in the shop now!😁👍
Nice refurbish, Huey! Sweet little vice!
Thanks Billy! A great little addition to my workshop, really pleased with the result.👍😁

Awesome restoration 👍I found my way here from Ralph Mourik channel.👍
Thanks Lenny! And it's made a fantastic addition to the workshop! Ralph's a top chap! 😀
Having a nice big vise is very handy in the shop Huey. Well done , Cheers
You can say that again...it's already earned its place and been very useful! Thanks for checking it out.😁👍
Great job Huey.
Thanks Geoff! It's a great addition to the bench already well earned it's place here.👍😁
Awesome. Looks great. I picked up a rusty no 3 a little while back. Love the vise restore vids. Cheers
Thanks!👍😁 They certainly are robust little things, this one has more than earned it's keep already. Really glad I saved it from becoming scrap.😁👍
What a fabulous job mate... It's a lovely looking thing now.
Thanks John, started off as a bit of a challenge and ended up being a great bit of kit!👍😁
You’re very lucky 🍀.

Cracking resto job 👍
Thanks for checking it out! It’s definitely earning its keep and is one of the most used tools in the shop! 👍😁
Nice one Huey but where's the wood turning videos gone?????????

@@HueyLionsheart Thanks for getting back to me! I dont have oxy acetylene, would I normal blow torch heat it enough?
@@HewAndAwe You could try but I would say probably not, it would need to be hot enough to start glowing.

Thanks Dore! 👍😁

@@HueyLionsheart no problems
Its a hard habit to break. Get help now before it goes too far ; )
LOL Mike! This was the second one I've done... The next one will be a woodworking style Record! 😁👍
@@HueyLionsheart I've restored way too many vices. Look out for a Record 52 1/2 E if you want a larger vice.

@@HueyLionsheart sounds like you need a 23 or a 75 (if you can get one at the right price).
A true Mechanic. An ommer n chisel, followed up with a big knife. It turned out rather nice i must say.
Love the intro 👍.
Thanks Ian, I didn't have to resort to big 'ommer....this time... That's in reserve for bigger game!👍😁
