Vice Repair and Restoration. Dawn 5SP Made in Australia.

- In this video I repair and restore a well used and abused Dawn 5 SP Vice.
Dawn vices are made in Australia. 5 Inch Standard Pattern.
I found out that this vice had a broken piece only after I took it all apart so I bought some new welding equipment and had a crack at fixing it.
This tool has so many imperfections but since it's going back to work I did not want to over-do the grinding and polishing.
However I still wanted to give it a unique look with a Chameleon / Colour shifting paint so it will look different depending on light and angle of observation.

I did mate, it's a cracker.
Your new TH-cam segment, Pimp my Vice!
I have scored a few old hand saws and tools that I'm doing
mild restos on, plus my 98 Falcon Panel van, 1968 Mercury Marquis,
extensions on house.
I don't know how I use to fit work in?
Excellent work!
Thanks for watching 👍
This turned out very nice
Thanks for watching. Glad u liked it 👍
Very flash buddy. I love the colour with the gold lettering. Surely the girls didn’t say that colour is boring.
You’re gaining a reputation of selecting new and different colour pallets for vices that actually work and make them desirable. Great work mate. 😍
Thank you my friend, your comment means a lot.Yes that colour passed the boring test. Thing is the camera takes away some of that really nice colour shift u see with the naked eye. I wasn't sold on that paint at the beginning but am really kinda falling in love with it now 😍👩🏻🔧
This kid is changing the game. I'm proud of him.

Beautiful job! Looks similar to a record vise...Nice
Thank you John. Yes there would have been a lot of British influence down under 😉👩🏻🔧
@@LittleRestorers actually Record bought the rights to use the pattern, the Dawn brothers made such a good and simple vice it attracted international rights sales and copiers. I watched a recent ownership structure try to "cheapen" the manufacturing process without product degradation, it was a failure. So many people see a simply mechanism and think 1: it's low quality 2: low tolerance 3: they are smarter and can do a better job, the Dawn Engineers vice remains and will survive their stupidity.
Color shift paint is a great choice for this one. It adds a personality you just don't get from stuff nowadays
Am glad you like it. I was a bit hesitant with that paint choice. Then I was going for a blue and purple but am happy picking the green n gold instead 😉👩🏻🔧
Good restoration ❤
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
Nicely done.👍
Thanks mate. Appreciate you checking it out 👍👩🏻🔧
She was someone's workhorse for sure but now Dawn is a real beauty! very nice repair as well.. good stuff!
Thanks Vic. Yes it looks like she had a hard life. Hopefully she'll be looked after well for the rest of it 😉👩🏻🔧
Excellent! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

Good Restorarion and Video
Thank you for watching 👍
@@LittleRestorers You are welcome
good job !!!!
Thanks for watching 😉
That's too nice to use. I have a soft spot for Dawn Vices.
Thanks for watching- I do love that vice. Kinda the right size in the workshop 😉 👍
excellent again. I love your cracked vise
Thank you for watching. Am glad you like this one also 😉👩🏻🔧
That turned out beautiful. Looks like a solid old vise. I like the chameleon paint. Great choice in color. Nice job
Thank you. Australia made Dawn. The company has been around since 1917, and you can still buy some of their products through distributors. But if you ask me, the old ones were just built differently. 😉
Yes sir. Everything old is built better than the new stuff. Here in America our products just aren't what they used to be. I'm restoring a late 1930's Craftsman 4x36 belt sander and a 1949 Craftsman tablesaw that belonged to my dad right now and they are so much more robust and better quality than my newer stuff. When they are finished my newer will be sold and i will use these.
@@ivanstiles7030 Good decision to keep the old stuff to use instead of the new ones 👍
Great job. The only thing I would say is dawn vices are red!😂
Thanks for watching. Ran out of red paint 🤣😉
love the video good tunes as well man
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍
Nice job! 👍
Thank you Magdad 👍👩🏻🔧
Fantastic job nice Resto you must get a lot of satisfaction using that vice now !
Thank you. I haven't used that one yet 😉
Nice job mate, love the colour.
Why stick to the same old when repainting if you can brighten
up your workshop, with a piece of individuality.
I have from new a Dawn 5 inch fabricated offset and recently
picked up it's 4 inch little brother and a 4 inch Joplin.
Both I will restore, jaws in both are excellent, showing little use.
I'm restoring a 6 inch Bench grinder and painted it hammertone
green, sadly, I had the paint for years and it sprayed odd,
but will still come up okay, compared to the original yellow and rust colour!
Thanks for watching. Sounds like you have a few projects going on.
Check out the other Dawn 100, I did previously. It's one of a kind 😆.

Ótimo trabalho !
Thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant job 👍 I'm sure I left a comment on this video before but I can't see it here now.
I bet those rods didn't come cheap. Love the paint job, out standing video.
Thanks for checkingit out - yeah the cast iron rods are a bit dear. That paint looks even better in real life 😉👍
Very nice! Colour is unusual, but great! Glad to see someone (apart from myself!) doing something different.👍👍 (we know where your loyalties lie with those colours! 👍)
I've got an old Dawn to do myself, in a lot worse condition than yours started out. Be Ok once I get the thing to turn! 🤣
I've restored plenty of old mechanical jacks & chassis stands, usually to original colours. If I get 2's or 3's of, then the colours change!
Not long started doing a 1/2 & 1/2. Half untouched, half restored. Difficult to do without getting carried away & doing the whole thing! 🤣🤣
A large amount of my jacks & stands are Australian, APAC (Clyde/APAC), Dawn & Joplin. Biggest thing is an APAC 5,000lb truck jack. A slow burner, that one.
Thanks for watching. Yes i tend to do things a little bit differently. Not that i want to be different but more to have my personal touch. Most of my projects are either for myself or close friends .
I appreciate you checking out the channels and enjoyed reading your comment.😊👍
Create restoration lovely colour nice job :-)
Hey Ben, thanks for checking it out. Glad u like the colour 😉👩🏻🔧
Once again you are crushing it. I'm always impressed to see you add new skills to your restorations. The paint was a cool surprise. You're always a step ahead of the game. Great job Buddy. leopard print next time? I'm sure Lemon Slice can tell you all about Things with leopard print😉🍻
Hahaha. U a funny man. Am really glad that there people out there who like what I do and their kind words and support really touches me " in a good way" .... leopard print challenge is on 🤣😉👩🏻🔧
@@LittleRestorers I hope we're still talking about vises🤣take care buddy.
Nice job, as usual. The color is very nice. How about a link to the paint manufacturer?
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately this paint is not a commercial brand. Its from an independent car paint supplier. May be search for colour shift / Chameleon paint supplies in your area 😉 👩🏻🔧
