I have the 200A with wood handle and went over it too but didn't detail it like yours. Since my shop is cramped it is nice to have wood handle for more clearance.
@@nostalgiamaker1561 Video was complete but well edited. It covered every step of the process, while cutting down each portion leaving just enough to document without being repetitive. Narration described what we were viewing and added details that the video couldn’t show. You showed the removal of the dog and spring. Most other videos didn’t show it’s removal or showed a vise that didn’t have one. Things I was introduced to for the first time: • Evaporust • Gluing sandpaper to glass for backing • I’ve wouldn’t have thought about bluing
I just installed a new vice on my workbench. They really haven't changed much in the past hundred years except that modern vices generally toe in slightly. I'm told this is intended to give a more even clamping pressure as the jaws flex a little.
Exactly, for this vise I planed a slight angle on the wooden jaws to create that “toe in” effect. That’s when I fixed that little gap at the end of the video.
Amazing job! If the wobbling vise irritates me, imagine how you feel. The only thing I’d do different is inset the vise and cork lining to sit effectively flush with the apron, so you can use the whole face of the apron to stabilize longer pieces, like you would on a roubo bench.
Thank you and I agree. That’s why I made a larger face vise on the other side, check it out if you like - th-cam.com/video/kZd4aVDg9t0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WRM2hVWw03vc-ja6

Just bought a Craftsman 10R-2a vise and watched several restoration videos to get some ideas. This was the best by far. Great job!
@@david101ky Thank you, high praise. Curious, what made my video more informative?

I would literally watch paint dry if you would do the voiceover for it
