- I found this old vise at an auction. It seems like it is too far gone to restore, but as you can see in the video it still has a little life left in it. I hope I was able to do this old boy some justice. It will be used in my garage with pride.
Thank you for watching, I hope you liked the video.

Why not sand blast everything first?
Can I buy this from you?
Third time I've watched this. I'm restoring two smaller vintage vices for the work bench I'm building. I'm done buying that stuff that breakes everytime you hit/torque or look at it. The old ones are a work of art. You did a brilliant job.
I'm redoing a Littletown No. 25 swivil anvil 3 3/4 inche jaw and a Milwaukee No. 55 swivil anvil vice 3 1/2 inch Jaw
Thanks for the vid. I loved it
Great work restoring this old brute. Excellent job polishing the slide and swivel mating surfaces. This old vise served someone for a long time and is now read to serve for another lifetime. Great when tools can be useful for generations. Excellent work!
When watching these vise restoration videos I always find it interesting where exactly the restorer will call it good enough. In this one you said "This part has been used as an anvil. It's pretty beat up. I'll try to make it look like new." I was thinking "Good Luck." Two minutes later, it looked like new. Nice Work, Sir.
Good work! I recently picked up a even rustier Athol 624 1/2 and cannot get the swivel base bolt out for nothing. Soaked for days in penetrating oil. I'm gonna get a drag link socket to hopefully break it free.
I've got that same Husky die grinder. Great tool. Doin some WORK over here. Great resto the vice looks terrific
It's not a Paramo or a Record....so the correct spelling is vise.
Great job. I like these old US vises with the rounded screw handle knob. Thank you for giving this old workshop veteran a new lease on life. Very good job on the beam. Best regards from the Intermountain West.
Great job taking that old piece of when America was great and making it beautiful again. Well done
If you soak in a strong TSP solutiog for 24 hours and rinse no paint no rust. I totally rebuilt a 1972 southbend lathe. try it, you will save tons of time in the future. Also did the same on a vise.
I've never seen the idea of using a washer with a screw driver..
Very creative...
Great job, brought the old vise back to life
Top restoration mate you would never believe it’s the same vice makes a change to see someone restore something rather than throw it away like society does today thanks for showing this all the best god bless
Thank You.
that was great. can`t believe it`s the same vice. what a state it was in.
Thank You.
It looks like a rusting piece of junk, but it was built to last. All it needed was a little love and care and it will continue to provide its service for years to come.
Athol made excellent vises, and they are definitely worth restoring and putting back into use. Great job!
Thank You. This one is being used for sure. I just need a good work bench to bolt it to.
"It will be used in my garage with pride." Deservedly so. This is a great restoration. Now this vise has many years of life left, thanks to you. BTW, there is also a town named Athol in Idaho. Thanks for the great restoration.
That "Beats the crap out of me" when people use the vise neck as an anvil. Ugh! You had to work so hard to get rid of the ignorance that "went" into that "anvil". Bless you, good man. I do realize how arduous that work is. I should have gone to college and learned how to swap out circuit boards. Much easier. HEY! It keeps us in shape! :-)
Doesn't even make a good anvil to begin with.
Nice job!
Can I suggest that using a bullet point marker, instead of a chisel point, to pick out the lettering is much easier and gives a much better result.
Priceless Restoration! Incredible,awesome job. I have to restore a similar vise left neglected 😩! I hope I can bring it back to life. Thanks 😊 for the inspiration,will try my best! Gabe from Brooklyn,NYC.
Now THAT'S a vice! Well done, Two Hands.
Thank You.
Good Restoration Done 👌
Thumbs up 👍
👏 👏
I always leave the battle scars, it's the tools history which is why I restore these tools. They're our history, they built the world we live in.

Yes.
Yep
Time well spent. GREAT WORK OF ART !!!
Well there you go. Good for another 50 years.
Frankly I do give a vise!! Should be in a glass box in a museum that says look do not touch!
What I like best (besides the beautiful restoration work) is that it was made in the U.S.A.
Great work and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for producing and posting it.
I just got those hammers from harbor freight. One of the heads was inside down lmfao. But for 5 bucks 5 hammers... Awesome find. Doing the same thing with a Columbia/Cleveland D45. The metal is in great shape. I see yours was also. I love old shit and making it look new again. It's true what they say, "they just don't make em like they used to".
I bought those hammers a while back and haven't regretted it. They've been a great addition to the arsenal.
I just would like to mention to anyone who is not aware. As you see THR using WD-40, note that it is used as a lubricant/solvent to free rusted fasteners and to lube a ball hone (see the 1929 compressor video). Do NOT rely on WD-40 as a long term lubricant. Use oil for long term. (Oil for fast moving mechanisms, grease for slow moving). WD-40 is great for "now" applications, but it will dry up and gum up if you let it age. Just to let you know. You can also use it to remove stickers. Like bumper stickers and the goo left behind. Test the surface it is on. Glass, no worry. I have no recollection of WD-40 "melting" plastics but, just to be safe, test the material where the sticker is adhered to, to make sure it will not damage it.
jlucasound It’s also NOT a penetrating oil, it doesn’t creep like a penetrating oil needs to.
Very nice job! You did a great job on the beam, I sure didn't think you'd get it that smooth.
Thank You. It took a while to do.
@@TwoHandsRestorations I dozed off, then woke thinking, "what did I miss?! Oh...he's still filing the beam." Hard work pays off. Nice job.
I'm glad you didn't overdo the restoration. Taking away its scars is like deleting some of its history.
Well that’s me subscribed! It’s fantastic to see someone willing to put in some real work to get themselves a top vice. Too few people are willing to do the preparation in you did, and it’s that that separates the top restorers from the also rans. A great restoration and video, thank you.
Thanks for the good words. It's not easy and I am doing the best I can with my level of skill and knowledge. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼. It’s inspiring me to restore my Athol 623.
You use to be able to pick up old vises and various kinds of tools that were all rusted up for a song just about, now they was crazy money and you still have to do all the restoration on them. Had a guy had three old vices one of which was beyond anything I wanted to do to it and the other two needed serious restoration, not just a clean up and repaint, serious restoration. He want four hundred bucks for them and I told him even restored they weren't worth that, so he asked me what I'd give him for them I told him I'd give him twenty-five a piece for the two and the third one he could keep. He got all bent out of shape and I walked away.
Then late in the day he was gonna have to load them up and haul them back and he started reconsidering my offer. Hell, I can build one for twenty to fifty bucks. I just like doing the restorations.
Everyone thinks there stuff is made of gold. I have 2 more vises. One isn't restorable and the other, a Rock Island, is in the wings waiting to be restored.
Heat always tends to eventually make some rusty things come undone. Propane torches do work for a lot of stuck bolts. Especially when you heat it cool it heat it cool it a couple of times usually does the trick. Maybe more?
Great job. I have a 623 1/2 to do this weekend.
Thank you
very good job...thanks for sharing
That's a very nice vise restoration.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
This was amazing to watch. And I love love love the color choice
looks awesome! I like the dark green and white, striking
I knew just hitting stuff angrily with a hammer really worked! You showed that bottom screw who was boss! 🤣
Finally! Someone who appreciates my technique. :)
Finally u got some dirt on your hands 😁
Wow its a great idea with the washer!
very good job !!
Excellent work! I love the color. Awesome job!
Thank You.
Great restoration man! Love the colour!
Thank You.
@@TwoHandsRestorations I love the video. Question. Do you still have this vise? Also, did it have the star of David on it with the letter "N" in the middle?
Top job👍👌friend uk
Excelente trabajo felicidades
You painted that lettering like a real Athol.
That was a great restoration! Thanks for sharing!
Looks great. I don't live that far from Athol Massachusetts
Thank You
Good job...brother.
Thank You.
At 9:36 into it, he rubbed in a beautiful Doberman Pinscher. ;-)
Incredible work, I love it !

You did good.

Hl,
you doing a very good job.
It would be nice if you describe your funds used.
For example, the powder with which you degrease its.
Thank you for your help. Keep it up! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Phenomenal 👍🏼
Dear Mr two hands vise restoration. I as one was really disappointed in your restoration of the old vise, and of the old compressor electric motor, I'm not complaining of your work, per se. I think you are doing great work! BUT, I am sure that I saw wires in that motor where the insulation was gone, the enamel insulation, you did such good work on the compressor and motor housing, I was impressed, then I saw you naglect the very bad wiring, you flat scared me! It hardly cost very much at all to get those small motors rewound. And I'm pretty sure I saw you install a ground wire in the motor, good! As to the vise on the other hand forgot about the vise jaws, they needed to be taken off and cleaned in back of them, an please do not use any kind of grinder on the jaws, anywhere on the jaws, just a wire brush in your hand. Great videos by the way. I had to laugh though, when you speeded up the video it looked like you had the worst kind of shakes. Lol. Michael said that bye for now my friend.
Great restoration. Is there a reason why you didn't remove and clean the vise jaw faces?
I couldn't figure out how they came off. There are no screws like normal vises have. I thought maybe they were pressed on from the side but I didn't want to beat it up trying to remove them.
I'm back. "Hey! Quiet back there! The "Movie" is about to start!" This is going to be good. (These tools are one of my "vises"). Wha, Wha, Wha, Whaaaa!! (Muted trumpet).
mr. hands that was awesome. Can we get more electrolysis and acid baths in future videos?
I have in my home, but not yet on restoration..
your background wall of bricks is moving with the wind....LOL
Hey, My Mechanic...😊
That crappy, flaking paint job at the beginning of the video is exactly why you don't put rattlecan paint on vises. If you insist on painting your vise, use implement enamel with a hardener. I rarely paint my vises, even my expensive
Would like to be able to clean Rusty old metal and do etching on plexiglass
I have same vice😁😁
How did you know to paint it green? Is that original factory color?
How do you decide what to grind only and what to sandblast and grind?
What kind of angle grinder disk is that?
Dude. Flapwheel.
Молодец :)
Дружище! В чем он молодец? Все тяп-ляп, сил много, толку мало! Зачем брался - непонятно. Этими тисками и-нет завален.
Посмотри как люди другие делают, любо-дорого посмотреть. А тут.... халтура
Thank You
I'm guessing that every foundry in the country must have made vices and claw hammers, just to have catalog items, I suppose.
Boa 👏👏👏👍👍🇧🇷
I want a sand blasting cab but only have 6.9 scfm from my Makita compressor. Was thinking of trying a set up from HF. Advice from anyone?
The unit I use is a Harbor Freight blaster.
What size compressor to run it?
@@Im_Still_LightSpeedLayne I have an 80 gallon.
Jesus Christmas
Taking that much material off the slide is how you get a loose dynamic jaw thats out of square. Bad practice for nothing but aesthetics.
It is an older vice with a lot of wear and tear. I removed a slight amount of material from the top and very little from the sides so I didn't feel I compromised it too much. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Подошву тоже чистить надо*
حلو
Thanks
Are you keeping that one for your projects?
Yes. This is my only good vise. I'll get it bolted down and I'll put it to good use. I picked up another for restoration, a "Rock Island" vise that is in almost as bad of shape. I actually have another, a real small one, but it doesn't do the job.
Is "vise" the genuine American spelling? I did not know this: if it is, then it would probably be the older spelling- it does happen that American English sometimes preserves the older form and even usage of a word. I am always drawn to these trivia for some nerdy reason, gawd help me!
❤️❤️❤️🌹
1:20 Dude....enough with the washer and punch, go down to Harbor Freight and get yourself a set of large, cheap screwdrivers ffs!
Buy an impact screwdriver. They are cheap and work great for stuff like this
....he was using a screw driver. The washer was actually a really clever way of getting enough torque to move that rusted screw. Smh.
Did you test the paint for lead?
Just tested the lead for paint.

Why didn't you redo the jaws?
The were attached in a way I couldn't figure out. They may have been pressed on. There were no screws or bolts holding them on. I have limited abilities in my garage and I worry about going too far. If I removed them could I re-attach them?
I want air tools.
