Leg Vise Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Restored this leg vise to mount on the tool stand I made last week for my blacksmithing setup.
It will stay outside near my coke forge, so I used rust converter on all surface to hopefully prevent rust, I'm not sure how it will hod up because I never tried rust converter before. We will see!
This leg vise must be very very old, and has been fixed by previous owners pretty much everywhere, it must have seen a lot of abuse.
I wasn't able to find any information about the maker (there is an "L" stamped on the front) but I guess it can have 100 year pretty easily.
Overall I'm very happy with how it turned out, it has been a lot of work to make it decent again but I think is totally worth it, especially because I had a great deal on it: found it on advertisement site for only 25€ !
I hope you enjoyed this video :) If so let me know with a like!
Thank you!

Hi there! You must be a core subscriber!
To thank you I'm doing a little giveaway: one of my anvil keychain!
Enter here: goo.gl/GsKZLs
No restriction and I will cover shipping cost worldwide so be sure to join.
While I have your attention I would also like to thank you a lot for all the nice comments you leave on my videos. Until last week I've replied to all of them, but lately they are starting to be too many to do so... From now on I will focus more on specific question rather than replying to everyone in chronological order. Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your comments and I read them all every day :) So thank you, for real, and please don't take it personally if I don't reply you each time from now on. Hope you understand!
Hi! Thanks you! Keep up your great craftsmanship!
I would rather you made more videos then answer all the comments. You put a lot of sweat equity into that vise. That was a lot of rust. Hope it serves you well.
Joined and thew some bucks into the Patreon hat. I love seeing new life brought to old tools. Keep up the good stuff man!
Thanks man!!
You make quality videos and the variance is nice in them. The only constant is you do good work in all of them. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Very nice!
Thank you sir! :)
There's always got to be a critic saying: "No! Wrong! I Can't Believe This! So so SO Wrong!" Fortunately, these throwaway, off-the-cuff 'criticisms' have no bearing on the wonderful work you've done. Thank you for sharing it with us! I really like the 'trash to treasure' thing. All the best, and I'm looking forward to seeing future projects.
Cheers!
Philbert Desanex your videos that you made are pretty good
Hello, do you have some information of the Styles of this kind of vises?
This's just my personal opinion, Without music is better, great video though!
Next time no music...Just the sounds of your working is all the satisfaction we want
Love how you decided to not paint this, thus showing respect for the wabi-sabi of the object ;) I keep wondering this though: some of these restaurations start with a electrolytic bath. Others, like yours, go straight for the brushes. What are the advantages of either approach ?
Thank you for not using that weird techno type music most people play on videos like this. Also great job
Awesome work man! It looked like it came out of a ship wreck to start with.
Haha! Thank you my friend :) :)
I have one that looks like it was under 100# of horse dung! As A matter of fact it was under 100+# of horse dung!!
где ты нашел старые кузнечные тиски? А в целом хорошее видео молодец!
Wow that was alot of grinding. Shocked you didn't just sandblast... Thank you for saving a awesome tool and antique!!!
His workmanship gets better, just watch some of his newer videos
Wow, excelent job !
I find a LOT of joy doing antique tool restorations. And I also do a good bit of blacksmithing and need a leg vise so I'm kind of obsessed with them right now. This was a perfect video for me and yours turned out absolutely magnificent. I think this video may have been fraudulent, you didn't use it to shave half of your leg bald with it when it was finished. But seriously that is a beautiful vise and you got awesome results with it. I'm gonna put video of my restoration of an antique machinists vise on my channel as soon as I get to work on it. I just have to wait a few more days to buy parts for my belt grinder's unused arbor.
Oh MAN! I’m a 75 year old Gramma and I want to do that! It’s just so beautiful to take something and restore it! I LOVE IT! I have restored old floor lamps replacing the silk covered wires for newer. An old pie safe with rusted punched tin is now a treasure: NOT refinished but restored. Anyway, loved watching this! 👍🏼👍🏼
Can I give you a tip? Don't use any music. Leave the sounds as they are in the video. That shit is totally ASMR. I was watching the video but I quit because the music was annoying.
Little.deathwish some people that no different such as him
I totally agree, I would much rather hear him working than music.
I also had to stop watching because of the music. Annoying as hell
just mute the video
work's sound IS the soul. All you need.
Great job Gader, that Vice brought your new stand together nice!
Outstanding. The nice thing is it has history and character
It came out beautiful bro :) I hope rust converter will work !
Me too :')
I think you should have put at least a couple more bolts in the mount!
What kind of blackener paste was that?
A rust converter I bought at my local home improvement store
black beard projects,
right, and so what kind was it
The product he's using is "AREXONS Ferox rust converter 750"
Интересно что за белый состав которым воронение сделано?!
дословно преобразователь ржавчины
Ролик класс, как раз в тему. Мне подарили почти такие тисы, я не знал что с ними делать. Теперь буду реставрировать. Спасибо за ролик!
Павел Андрющенко У меня тоже дедовскии остался, хочу тоже реставривать.
Great restoration, I have leg vise that I want to restore in two weeks, I have served as a great help, thank you very much, best regards
What is that rust converter called?
Where do I buy it? Great job on the restoration.
Nice recovery. Your set up is really coming along. Were the jaws still parallel to each other after all these years?
Thank you my friend! They close up pretty nicely but as you open they get less and less parallel :')
Молодец Спасибо за видео😊😉
Nice job man :)
Skech Art award
What kind of coating you used to protect it? Great work! Beautyfull piece of tool!
Thanks! I've used rust converter and grease on thread and moving parts :)
Now that got a grip on things(Cheers)✨🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺✨🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃
Drilling a hole at the end of a fracture reduces the stress at that point and much reduces the chances of it comming back, if it does come back give it a try.
Thanks!
Is that why old cast iron bells with cracks have screws in the crack?
Absolutely brilliant, your work is a great inspiration for my own videos😊👍
When you jumped on top of it I said "What the...?" But then I realized it was an example of the strength of it. Needless to say, you never cease to amaze.
Could you make a protective cover for it?
Like to protect it from water?
Black Beard Projects yes, if you're leaving it outside
Very nice.... Now please make another knife!
Nice resto! I would like very much to know what kind of "rust converter" you used in this video... 🤔 at 5:50 ...Anybody??
It's a general purpose rust converter I bought at my local home improvement store. Should be pretty easy to find :)
It was very good , you know what year is this tool ?
Thanks! No I don't, but it might have 100year pretty easily :')
Nice work but i also quit because of the music - it is annoying...
What music is this?
Eae alguém português?
Eae
Brasileiro eu.
Brasileira
Brasil varonil
Little know Italian secret, that “rust converter” is just Alfredo sauce.
Посмотрел твой видос - я тебе свои покажу, хочешь? А то пыль протер, покрасил и вся реставрация. У меня спиженая Советами в Европе после войны тиски. Вот там такой видос получится - весь Ютуб ахренеет
Fajnie ze pokazałeś jak odnowiłeś swoje kowadło ja również sobie takie kupiłem i wiem już po twoim filmie jak je odnowić
Unlock the secret. If, after stripping with this circle, to rub the metal with sandpaper, then it turns out that the rust is simply licked and not removed from the metal. Extremely disgusting way to strip metal
Too many thumbs down with no explanation! Should be a law that there should be a reason for thumbs down on TH-cam! Great Job Sir! That vise looks AWSOME!
I have a great leg vice i picked up at a yard sale.... it needs a spring..but i really love your stand you mounted it too...
Exactly what is a leg vise?
Neponset River what he is fixing is a leg vice
But what makes a leg vise a leg vise?
Neponset River the leg 🤪🤪
@@neponsetriver Wikipedia says: "One common variety of face vise is the leg vise, which has a long extension down to the floor, with a provision to adjust the spacing of the bottom of the leg, to keep the clamping surfaces of the jaws approximately parallel, even though the work to be clamped may be of various thicknesses."
I love vintage tools I subscribed you.
What is the red grease that you used? solidol or lithol?
Turned out great, it's a shame the vise was that beat up.
Where did you find it? Haha very interesting
Read video description :) Thank you!
Black Beard Projects . Great thanks to you.
Very nice! I'm looking at one as I write this 👊👊
Buenos días, de qué país eres??? Saludos Cristian de Argentina
Excelente amigo...te felicito...me encanta ver videos de restauración y este está genial...
Dlaczego podczas czyszczenia nie użyłeś piaskarki ? Byłoby szybciej i dokładniej.
the restoration was impeccable! very good! but this song was annoying !!! do not leave such a loud and repetitive music in the background is boring!
What about rust removing liquid from the beginning!!!??
Rust converter I bought at my local home improvement store
Ordinarily, I'd be upset as I really don't care for black oxide finishes on leg vises, however that one it works on. Now, having said that, the stand you made is great except you used a tire rim for the base. Bro? Everything looks great then you cut that corner? Really? You couldn't roll a nice flat piece into a round then welded it up, painted then poured some concrete? Honestly, all the great stuff people do then trash the whole thing with some horrible short cut.
Lovely video! would of preferred black steel bolts instead of gay bright steel. This IS a Blacksmith vice, not a modern hardware shop item. Would of also liked to see some edge grinding to get the shitty edges back to nice looking. there is still enough OLD look to keep the vintage patina as well as neatening it up more. JUST ideas, no criticism here mate, lovely job.
Вы только посмотрите на это - КОВАННАЯ СТАЛЬ! Где только удалось раздобыть такую древность?
You produce nice videos. Your craftsmanship is also nice but please please use any kind of rust remover like WD40 before hammering. I'm begging you please use one of them, I can't watch the disassembly part of your restoration videos, the hammering stage. :)
How is leg vise better then standard bench vise? I can see you can take it outside to work with.. Aside from that, whats its purpose?
You may not have the time answer this. First of all...again, another job by a craftsman in my opinion!! Are you self taught in the welding, machining, and other skills you use or did you apprentice under another craftsman? Thank you. Keep up the great work.
У кого-нибудь есть идеи по поводу РУЧНЫХ тисков (официальное название этого агрегата) таких размеров???
These vids seem like the perfect comfy vids to watch on a rainy day. Maybe it's the music choice, maybe it's the anticipation of seeing the finished product, I dunno but I like it. Consider me a subscriber.
Wouldn't all these restorations be SO MUCH EASIER if people start off with a good sandblasting instead of wasting all the time and energy to take a wire wheel, or chemicals, to it?
No music. The standard sound of work is soothing enough. Why didn't you electrolysis the piece first to help loosen the rust, then add converter, then paint? If it's going to be outside I'd want the 'full monty' as it were.
I think your slacking off some my friend. That could have been cleaned up better around the handle. Also watched another video of yours that had no end. It just stopped. Getting old? To much taco bell?
So now it's been a while. How does a rust converter hold? I wanted to use it myself, but it's too late for my old coal forge. It is already painted :S But I still have to think about the anvil, paint is out of the question.
Bella...ne ho una praticamente uguale.
I watch these videos only for ASMR but usually others use battery water baking soda thing to get of rust why didn't he used that technique and used the brush thing instead can anyone help me understand that ??
Awesome video. Found a huge one in a barn on a property I purchased and think I’m gonna restore it.
I like it when restored tools are polished and painted. But I also like the more "natural"/raw approach you used here with just rust converter and grease. How has the finish held up over the past year?
Awesome done bro! 😉💪🏽
It's great to see metal workers appreciate one another. Good stuff fellas
While i hoped for some other use of the 'thing' from the previous video, this is a very nice restoration of a nice tool.
This is the only restoration videos Ive seen so far by you that sucked. Very little was done to make it look new.
Охуенно полезное приспособление, лол. Как стеклянный молоток
How would you do this sort of restoration on a water pump attached to pipes underground? The pump is gorgeous but old, and I can't take it off the pipes...
At 7:19 when you held the vise up to the stand, I thought "surely he isn't going to weld it to the stand". Quite relieved when you put the bracket on and the bolts. Good Job.
9:10 Are you from Czech Republic ?
He is from Italy
He is from Norway
Gosh, how many times I've watched still wants to watch again.
That's what you use it for - snapping off bits of wood? Seriously, would like to see this in practice. There has to be a reason for such thin jaws.
Anyone else notice the bolt just disappear at around 50 seconds? I know it must’ve been edited but still, I don’t know how many times I rewinded it to see where it went 😂
That's a nice little leg vice. It actually has a spring in it! Not many of them still do unless they're currently being used. Mine has 6.5" jaws and is probably 120lbs or so. It's an older one and I know since it had an old style nut area with the coiled and sautered steel. It has no markings that I know of either. If I ever take the paint off that I put on it I will have to see. We for it for $50 at a scrap yard!
Ottimo risultato tra il video precedente e quest' ultimo ! Gran bel lavoro !
Try using the Mini-Ductor Venom tool to remove rusty hard to remove bolts. It heats the bolt up and within a minute or less the bolt is easy to remove
Muy buen trabajo te felicito y me gusto la base. Tengo unas dudas que producto es ese blanco que pasas y despues el otro . Muchas gracias
Every time I watch one of these, I laugh my butt off at the fast hammer hits. I guess I have a warped sense of humor, but I love that in every video. I would like to simply hear the sounds of the shop and not some filler music. It’s not needed, the video is great as it is.
Great job man... Stool transformation good idea... I'll copy your idea Thxxxx for the inspiration dude... as always
Great video. Thought for sure you would paint it, looks much better how you did it.
ottimo lavoro!
Grazie carissimo :)

Ciao, sono molto curioso. Ma sei Italiano vero?
Comunque ti faccio i complimenti per tutti i tuoi video
I also like that rust converter stuff. The brand I use looks similar, but is a little more liquid. Works great! I hope do find it in a Spray form to get a more even coat.
Dude. You would be amazed at what a can of penetrating oil will do. Soak the whole thing with it. It works wonders.
Hey mate for suture reference just dump the whole thing in a vat of molasses broken down 50:50 with water for a week, saves all the scrubbing.
Sangat menyenangkan melihat video anda 🙏👍👌👌
It looks like the rust remover is like OSPHO(brand). It’s phosphoric acid. Converts iron oxide(rust) into iron phosphate. OSPHO can be found at most hardware stores.
What mains outlet is that at the beginning of the video? That's a new one to me. Offset parallel blades, most unusual.
Excellent Job...very good stand it's a pleasure to watch your videos...keep it up!!!
As a mechanic it frustrates me to no end to see someone use the open end of a wrench when there is room for the closed ring end. But nice vice.
Recently got myself a post vise, it wasn't as bad as this, but I fixed it up within 3 hours
the bright lights from welding may cause damage to the light sensitive camera equipment, be very careful.
In Russia you will not find such tools, all in scrap metal passed. It's good that you're doing this.
Interesting vice. I haven't seen one with a welded on spring before. Most have the spring inserted under the mounting collar.
Not as cinematographic, but electrolysis would have taken everything off without grinding and no rust converter needed.
Why don't have a bead or sand blasting cabinet? Dude come on. The right tool for the right job.
