Nice job man. Enjoyed the video. Relaxing to watch. Last week I refurbished an old Wilton Bullet Vice that a customer gave me. It was her brothers who passed away at the young age of 49. I think he died like 30 years ago. But evidently he was a real craftsman who could do just about anything she’d said. I asked her for a picture of him so I could see and remember him When I used it. I sent her a few pics when I was done with the vise and she couldn’t believe it was the same vise. She said Dennis would’ve loved it. Made my day. Thanks again for sharing your work. Very nice job.
It's great to see someone biting the bullet on painting a vice white! I was thinking of doing so... not I know I won't but it's still great to have a white vice! What a great restoration!
@@garageshopminnesota PERO... era la original de aquella época. Creo que estaba en bastante buen estado, una limpieza y quizá un ligero pulido hubiera sido suficiente.
Wow, wonderful job. I have to say, a white vice seems like it will be dirty the minute you bolt it to the workbench let alone use it. However your execution and explanation coupled with the music makes this one of the best vice restos I’ve seen on here. New subscriber 👍
I really appreciate the kind words! I had missed a couple of spots with JB Weld, and after the white paint, those missed areas really show. I've been wanting to do white for a while, but doubt I'll ever do it again. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love that vise, I've Never seen one like that, great restoration, I see you love the old Sears and Craftsman tools as much as I, and yes, I have a lot of Tekton also. Just subbed!!!!!
@@garageshopminnesota did they expand or did you have to ping them from behind...I have a craftsman Toolbox I have been wanting to restore..but taking the badge off and putting it back on like it should be has me puzzled as I am not sure what rivets to use..thanks!!
Is there a reason you choose to use the paint and primer in one? I find when restoring old tools, using a dedicated primer and a dedicated paint helps a lot with rust prevention, at least that’s what I’ve been told. Is the paint and primer in one just as good?
I liked everything except the body filler. I would hate to buy a vise and find out it has body filler. But that's just me and I don't think most would mind. I would recommend oil on the slide because the grease just gets my hands dirty and collects all the dirt in the shop. I just use oil now for that reason. Thanks for sharing.
I keep regular engine oil in my oil cans and use it. Nothing fancy, I put it on then wipe off the excess. I do the same with my cast iron table tops on my bandsaw and table saw.
Very nice. I have a Craftsman vise that belonged to my father in law. I would like to restore it for my son so he can have grandpa's vise. Did you have the badge restored? If so where did you have it done? Just subbed. Thanks
You probably already knew that Columbian made those vises for Sears. I was curious why you removed the jaws? I thought perhaps you werr going to re-machine serrations into those jaw faces since you went to the work of removing them. I knew you were not going to replace the jaws because that type became unavailable a few years back. Like others, I liked everything about you video except the choice of color. I generally opt for gray or red, but thats just me.
Was with you until the JB Weld and the red grease everywhere, including places that didn't need it. Especially with white paint, why use red grease everywhere? I think the color is nice but those are my thoughts.
Interesting colour choice, looks cool, at least at first glance. But let’s be honest, that’s another vice that wasn’t in need of “restoration”: some wire brushing and a lick of grease was all it needed. And painting cast iron silver? Straight up blasphemy.
Thank you for watching! The white was definitely something different, and I like silver, so I just went with it. Yeah, I could have left the vise as is, but I enjoy the process of cleaning up tools. Thanks again!
White? Interesting. Everything that blows, floats, swings, crawls, spews, pours, topples, scrapes, scratches, and smokes in the shop, or on the work bench, will leave a stain, mark, and divot. Why not Craftsman Red?
I've done red before so I wanted to try something a little unconventional. Yeah, it will definitely show everything, but I just wanted to do something a bit different.

Thanks again for sharing your work. Very nice job.
Excellent restoration, multiple coats of paint and primer, good clean up and repair. All in all a damn fine job.
Thank you!!

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! Much appreciated!
Magnífica restauración. Yo, hubiera conservado la etiqueta metálica original de "Craftsman".
Thank you for watching! The original label wasn't in the greatest condition.

Estupendo trabajo, muchas felicidades y gracias por compartir.
Thank you for watching!
Stunning word, great inspiration to redo one I have kicking about 👍
Luxo
Great job. What a well made vise!

That's got some nice beefy jaws and they're firmly mounted, looks like a good design.
Really enjoyed the transformation...great job...excellent photo's...excellent...
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Looks fantastic! I love the idea of a white vice, and the Craftsman logo just makes the whole thing. Awesome
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the video!

That was a great video! The vise seems like a good design and now it looks awesome!
Very solid vise. Thank you for watching!
Very nice! The white vice looks very elite!
Glad you liked. Thank you!
Nice job, Jeremy!
Thank you!
That's an amazing vise! I'm keeping an eye out for something similar. Love the resto job!
Thank you for watching!

Thank you and I appreciate you watching. Yes, I love my Craftsman grinders and all my Tekton tools!
Great job man, I really appreciate It.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you for watching!! Nice meeting you and greetings from USA!!
Great work. Where did you get the new Craftsman badge?
Thank you for watching! I ordered it from a guy I know who recreates labels.
Gute Arbeit von einem guten Mann!👍😁🍀Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Danke mein Freund
Looks great. I like the color choice. I also do some tool restorations as a hobby and I'm wondering where you had the Craftsman log recreated.
Thank you for watching! There is a guy I know of who made a new label for me.
Good job and thank you for the entertaining video... Stay Safe...captjack
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
excellent! I like the white....what type rivets did you use for the new badge? good stuff!
The rivets were just the original ones on the vise. Thank you for watching!
@@garageshopminnesota did they expand or did you have to ping them from behind...I have a craftsman Toolbox I have been wanting to restore..but taking the badge off and putting it back on like it should be has me puzzled as I am not sure what rivets to use..thanks!!
The holes are a tight tolerance, so just tapping them in and they stay in just fine.
Superb 😂
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful
Thank you for watching!
Well done.👍
Thank you!
Turend out nice. What degrees do you use?
I use Purple Power degreaser. Thank you for watching!

I've had good results with the 2x Rust-Oleum, so really the only reason I use it. Thank you for watching!
@@garageshopminnesota thanks I’ll give it a try, I already use rust-oleum but it will save me a little time.

Here I press the new follow-up button, I liked your deal with the widget to be restored but excuse me did not stop in color
Thank you for watching!

There is a guy I know that prints out all kinds of labels. He can do them as a sticker or print on metal. I appreciate you watching!!

A white vise is always something I wanted to try. I realize it's definitely not for everyone. Thank you for watching!

I appreciate you watching and commenting. I like the Red N Tacky grease, and probably tend to use too much. Haha!
