Good evening from Auckland, New Zealand ...I have the same vice and doing it up at the moment ...whereabouts did ya get that sticker from?! ...like to purchase one myself!!!
Thanks for this video! I have one of these vices and I love it but it's all gummed up inside and the handle doesn't spin easily any more - it needs a really good clean. This has given me the confidence to tear it down and sort it out 😀 I couldn't see what lubricant you used for the moving parts, seems to be in a spray bottle. I was going to use grease when I reassemble but your lube looks much thinner, what are you using for that please?
Hi, I am glad you found my video helpful. I wouldn't use grease as all the saw dust which is abrasive would stick to it pile up on threads and you end up where you started very quickly. In the old days people used to use machine oil or multipurpose oil which the dust sticks too. Nowadays we have Teflon based lubricants and nothing sticks to Teflon. What you see me using from the bottle is Interflon Food Lube. We use it on all machinery at work for regular maintenance for years. Its tad expensive but I cant recommend the stuff enough. But for a vice any PTFE based lube would be good enough. Hope that helps.
I have a similar if not identical one, just wondering when you mounted it to your bench did you have to notch out a bit to make it fit mine has strengthening bits on it which made it tricky to mount?
Hi, there is many styles, preferences and opinions on how the vice should be mounted to the bench. And with that many advantages and disadvantages. I decided to follow Paul Sellers style except I dont have the apron on front of my bench but might be adding that in the future. Like you I have reinforcement running underneath my bench. Its a metal box section as my bench is metal with plywood worktop. I have sandwiched a piece of wood in between my vice and underside my worktop where I have made a channel to accommodate the box section and creating flat surface underneath the bench for the vice to be mounted on. The vice itself is mounted protruding off the bench, not flush so there is no need for the notch. Then I have built like a little frame round my back jaw from plywood that you can see in my video .Have a look here on Paul's blog where he talks about advantages of vice being mounted proud off the bench. Hope it helps paulsellers.com/2014/01/flush-vises/
WD40, white vinegar, bicarbonate soda to neutralise, black hammerite, hammerite paint thinner, gold paint pen, clear varnish wet dry of various grit #80 - #2500, 3 stage polishing kit and compound, copper grease, Interflon oil lube, ACF50 corrosion protection, lots and lots of elbow grease.
Just got one from a shed. Not far off the same condition tbh. You on insta or anything?. I'll show you how I get on. Just detached it from the old bench at the min. Had to work fast the house was getting handed over so I just sanded the old bench in half n took that. Never knew they were made in Sheffield either, just down the road from me, I'm from Barnsley
Nice one, I am not on insta but I now have FB page PS CRAFTY DIY. You can send me pics there I am interested. Yeah lot of tools have been made in Sheffield in the past. Record Draper Stanley Clifton etc. Have a look into visiting the Kelham Island Industrial museum you will love it there and get some inspiration. If you come right time of day you'll see the biggest steam steel rolling machine in the world in action. Its breath taking standing next to it while its alive and its only down the road from you.
I have a number 52 , a bit older though from the 1920's but it's in a sorry state at the moment ( seized sliding jaw ) but I'm just starting to give a bit of tlc it deserves 😊
Music was torture, but that was a lovely job on that restoration.
I own one of these. Unrestored but still a thing of beauty. I mentally smile every time I use it.
I love these old tools, heavy, well though through, up for the task and beautiful. Unlike the stuff we get these days.
Great job, proper restoration on a beautiful old vice
Thank you
Love the color Combination.
Thank you, I got lot of stick for that from some people but I love both of them in black.
You made a really good job of that mate, that's a vice from when we used to make stuff here in the UK not just import CRAP from China
Thank you, both vices are great and strong they will serve me well...
Better than new great job
Many thanks, much appreciated.
They don't make them like that anymore.
The quick release worked well on those old vices.
Great video mate
Wow. I've just found the same model vice and am really hoping I can get it looking as good as this
Thank you. Sure you can, take your time and pay attention to detail thats all there is to it.
Lots of hard work but it really paid off. What a great project, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated
That was masterful! Truly masterful! That’s how it’s done! I learned a lot from a little video. Thanks! Liked and Subscribed
Thank you, glad someone found it useful. Many thanks for your support as well.
Nice work 👍
Thank you
Very well done on that one :)
Thanks for reaching out
Cracking job
Cheers...
Great video. I have just bought the same vice and it needs some TLC.
For the detailing, what gold pen did you use.
Many thanks.
Thank you, I used Uniball permanent paint pen from a set PX-20
Una excelente restauración!

@@pscraftydiy Thank you very much for that 😄
In 2124, someone restoring this vice will thank you for using copperslip on the threads - always a good move !
Haha, thank you.
