Mmm ... Excellent! One of the few channels where the master has a developed aesthetic sense and understands the beauty of old iron and respects it. I watched the video with pleasure. Thank!
Beautiful work ... exceptional! The spring was well done. On a side note, the grease gun almost stole the show for me. What a fine addition to any workshop.
Absolutely superb, how I’d love one of those!! It’s unimaginable how many of those would have gone in the scrap bin. Lovely restoration, fantastic seeing the spring built from scratch. 😊😊😊
From the style I would guess that this is a Peter Wright vice. Excellent tools. And, all the important bits were in pretty good shape. Good screws are as scarce as hen's teeth to find for a replacement. Lovely job.
Should heat up the iron before you oil it, hotter than you can touch and enough heat to make the oil smoke a bit, opens the pores of the metal so the oil seasons the iron, just like seasoning a cast iron skillet. Other than that, did a really nice job, like the added mobility with the wheels!!! Looks great also!
That is a very, very old vise from England and in excellent shape given it is at least 150 years old and probably much older. The box is the give away and also quite interesting. Not only are the threads in the box built-up (coiled and brazed in), but the very fancy turning on the end indicates this was an expensive vise when new. Also the pivot has extra metal to provide more stability. There are very few forge welding lines indicating extra refining that most commodity vises did not receive. Yes. Quite a premium vise. Definitely conserve it and do not abuse it. No arc welding on the vise! This is not rare, but it is unique history. Danish oil is great in dry indoors. Do not leave it exposed outside. The vise will definitely rapidly rust, especially now that you have wire brushed off its previous minimal protection. Even though not authentic, strongly advise some modern coatings because they withstand the abuse and can be removed when needed. For the past month, I am stripping and Evaporust derusting a 165 old leg vise a friend wire brushed in 1977. He coated it with Danish oil. I bought it from him 6 years later and stored it in a dry basement for 15 years. It was great. But then the basement humidity went out of control. The vise rusted under the coating. A month ago, I got tired of looking at it and remembering its glory. (Its taken a month because Evaporust is expensive and I am using a time consuming cost effective method and I don't have time because I have to work many hours. Just 3 biggest pieces to go.)
I have one like this but the legs are not fancy down to the pivot point. The jaws are 5inchs wide and everything else is identical. I have the spring but no bar so will have to make one. Great videos.
Excellent restoration. Is this vise at least 100 years old? Just about anyone else would have fled from this project once they realized what they had to do to replace the missing spring. Thank you for your determination to stick with this project and give this great old vise many more years of useful life. Respect from the USA
Put some steel plate under the leg (maybe with a hole to fit the ring there) so it can actually transfer force into the wood. That's the idea behind that leg there.
Great job on bringing this back to life, these old blacksmith vises are beautiful tools and are very handy for jobs normal bench vises cant do. I restored one last year and it was also missing the spring and the fasening plate, did you use spring steel or mild steel for the missing part ? Mild steel can be used as long as it's got a bit of thickness to it like yours did. Get yourself a small anvil and make a half decent forge, it will open a whole new world of opportunity for you.
I used mild steel. From my research the important part was getting the steel to the right temp to remove Impurities and change the structure. I’d love an anvil.
Not that I advocate failing to recycle but I saw that massacres come out and all I could think was man unmessed with vintage steel is such a pretty shade of grey lol. Gotta go to work but I'll watch the rest of this when I get back :)
Nice work so far as you went, but I'm not liking the Danish oil on metal. It would do better on the wood. Frankly I think this needed paint or powder coat.That thin coat of oil won't last on there long, then it will begin to rust again. gubr78 is correct about doing the leg for transfer of force... in theory at least. How much it will really help, I don't know. Interesting way to forge... but from what I could tell in the vid, it appeared you were working too cold most of the time. When you want to normalize (yes that's how we spell it here) a box of dry sand will do the trick. air can be tricky, so letting it cool in sand or we often use something we call vermiculite.
The danish oil is an experiment. As for the forging I began too cold. And over time I learnt how to increase the temperature. I was forging for 7 hours I only showed a couple minutes.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 so would you say the danish oil was a win or a fail? I don't see that it makes much never mind. Yeah, I know these things get edited down, but we can only go by what we can see.
Superb, I’ve just acquired the exact same model of leg vice. I’m missing the wedge and washer. I would be greatful if you could let me know the dimensions of the washer. I like you love to find and restore old items specifically tooling. Liked and subscribed. UK viewer
Great job MTW, very well done Sir! I thought your first attempt at forging went very well given you have only rudimentary tools for that type of work - excellent improvisation! You'll be popular with your neighbours if you upgrade to a full-blown anvil! Tee hee! First class result, as usual. Greetings from Southport. PS... if your homemade Danish oil works, will you share the recipe ?
Nice mate. I’d be interested to know how that danish oil works out too. Mind you, could of sold the fence paint on Facebook and funded the whole project. That stuffs like rocking horse shit these days.

Thankyou for not trying to turn this into a museum show piece with every dimple and divot sanded and ground smooth.
Very nice work restoring the old vise, making a spring and building the stand. Excellent!
Thank you
Excellent job on the old vice. Nice color on the wooden platform. Can not wait for your next video. Thanks for sharing.

Like the work you did on the vise, really enjoyed the section on the making of the stand.
I am inspired. I have one coming my way soon.
Oh lovely. I’m gland the video has inspired you. I suggest not to use the coating I used in the video. It will rust again if left outside.
Great excellent job and nice craftsmanship God bless and take care!
Thank you very much.
Nicely done!
What a beautiful vise.
Love the hand jackhammer!
It’s so cool, I love it.

I had one of those but mine was I super condition. nice job
Wonderful renovation! Subscribed!

Thanks for the info. I did presume it must have been a more expensive one due to the design.
Hi mate good comment curious why you coulsnt vice something and weld it while in the vice? It would heat up ?

good restoration

Not sure why leadscrew autocorrect to massacres lol
Why did you stop hammering?
Bravo!
Will the Danish oil need more than one application? Great restoration.
I have applied a total of 2 light coats.
Why the wing nuts? Do you intend to take it apart often?
I simply like the look of it.
what material is used in sandblasting?
Hi, I use crushed glass.

What type of steel did you make the spring from?
It was a cheap piece of mild steel. It’s still going strong after a few years.
Thanks. Good to know that it doesn't have to be spring steel.
The important part was the final heat treatment, from what I remember I heated the whole part till it was no longer magnetic then let it air cool.
Suggestion: Make 3 studs under the feet so it always stands stable.
Thank you. I was also thinking about that

loved the fact that you didn't paint it.
You might find that your Vise works better if you put a steel plate below the foot of the vise.
Parabéns muito bom

Is that meant to be an outside vice?
Yes, it will be kept outside.

but you didn't countersink / anchor the toe of the vise.

Looks good, however, if I am honest not a fan of the wing nuts on the stand!

Very well done, but get yourself an anvil!
It’s on my list of wants. They aren’t cheap.
