Very informative! Mr. Jones is quite the vintage tool collector and aficianado. The restoration of these old classic work horse vices was a joy to behold. Nothing quite so satisfying as working in a well appointed shop surrounded by well-maintained tools.
I have a Morgan 10A vise that i just recently purchased and would like to restore. The dog was stuck in the down position, but I got it freed. My question is how did you get the dog handle out so i can remove the dog and file the opening so it moves freely?

Yes, Hank is a great guy and woodworker!
Awesome. Thank you for sharing this restoration!
Thanks for watching
Great video on antique vices... Hank is quite the collector!
Yep. He does good!
It’s nice to see history brought back to life I wonder how many children used them in school
I like seeing old tools put back to work. Thanks!
Hank's shop looks like home to me. Nice vises, too
Yep Hank has a great shop! And it was very generous of him to donate the vises!
What is the purpose of the dog
It allows you to clamp a board on top of the vise & bench yet leaves the face of the board open for work. Thanks!

I used a lubricant (WD-40) to free it up. It may be bent or the threads may be damaged. Just keep at it - good luck. Thanks for watching!
