This is the best restoration of a vise I have ever seen. I am 80 years old and have lived all over the world so I know of what I speak. Congratulations!
I agree with the comments recommending rust remover, but I'm glad you didn't use filler to try to remove every little dent and casting mark. It's beautiful just the way it is! Great job!
Im a third generation auto mechanic, Every time i do a restore, Even on small items it makes me feel good for many reasons, How much goes into building products and then thrown in a landfill.
Very nice work. I really liked the creation of the new jaws, and the way you trued up the surfaces for them. Nice touch was polishing the area around the jaws, gives a distinctive look.
Good job, but for many years now I have loosened the most stubborn cross pein (think that's the right spelling) screws with an old fashioned brace and bit, fitted with a cross pein driver. By securing the work piece securely you can then apply nearly your whole weight on the screw driver. Magic.
I often point this out in vice restoration videos. A block of wood with sandpaper could sand down the lettering a little. Makes the painted letters flatter and sharper.
upvote for the more difficult things others dont have to do, the jaw faces worn, jaw face supports (never seen it done your way only on a mill) and recovering the makers mark
This was extremely satisfying. I feel you could have saved some money by soaking it in HCL or vinegar for 24 hours. Probably would have cut down on the grinding and sanding. Also, some filler putty could have smoothed out the surfaces. Just some suggestions. Very enjoyable video, thank you for the upload sir.
If you heat the screw, bolt etc.then spray it with penetrant it will draw the fluid into the threads through capillary action making the fluid work better
Very nice restoration. I'm wondering: Why are you hitting the screws/screwdriver with a hammer? I guess so you can tighten them further. Is it a special kind of screw driver?
Love your video as always but one thing you could have added was rust removal process regardless be media blasting , electrolysis or evaporust even vinegar then it would have been fun... Cheers mate
Nice job only two criticisms...first, you should have polished the end of the screw and two, get rid of the silver paint on the sides...it ruins, along with the end of the screw not being polished the look of the project. If you really wanted to make it pop, file those areas painted silver down to bare metal and polish them as well. Other than that...NICE JOB!
I do like that you took the time to try to straighten out the brand stamp. A lot of restorers don't bother with that detail and it always irritates me.
Though it’s an improvement, your workmanship and metal restoration skills will improve in time. The painted lettering would look cleaner by using a liner brush, not a flat. The restoration is rough and could have been more refined with metal filler, and more careful grinding and polishing. Other than that this is a great job bringing it back to life and making those clamp jaws! Really liked this video!
No. He was right to keep some of the old battle scars. It's a tool, not a piece of jewelry. And I'm glad he painted it black, although cold bluing might have been better. Nicely done, Sir.
Great job! An easier way to hide some of those casting blemishes is to prime then use a flat color vs gloss. Not much on the colors you did chose 🤢 but hey it’s serviceable and you should get some good years of use out of it now😉 I like the handle too!
My grandmother would say "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, regardless of how soft it may feel"... but, you sure do keep trying! Good job,,,
Pretty good job done to the vice. I don't think the vice is bad quality but the casting of it sure was really bad and made it look really ugly. Just needed to use filler on all those deeper crevices then paint it up. That would have turned this project into a true Ugly Duckling ---> Swan transformation.
The work you did was exemplary but in my opinion this vise was a bad mold or perhaps the cast iron recipe the manufacturer used was inadequate. The handle was an idea all vise makers should adopt meaning "screw on caps." Handles are always bending
Love the chicken noises. Did you check those jaw faces with a file for hardness? Plunging them into water is not advisable, they can crack from thermal shock, and if they didn't get harder than a file, it's not hardenable
"Plunging them into water is not advisable" You are correct that cooling with water makes steel brittle. However, he "Quenched it in oil" You might have noticed the flames. Oil slows cooling process and hardens the metal.
You waited a long time to use that lubricant and impact driver.. lube those bolts 8 hrs before disassembly.. it might make things come apart a little easier.. You do some very quality work though...
This is the best restoration of a vise I have ever seen. I am 80 years old and have lived all over the world so I know of what I speak. Congratulations!
Thanks sir
What amazing workmanship. Making your jaws with a slitting disc, im very very impressed.
That had to be the most aggressive vice resto I've ever seen. Dude was getting himself a working vice no matter what it took I reckon.
I agree with the comments recommending rust remover, but I'm glad you didn't use filler to try to remove every little dent and casting mark. It's beautiful just the way it is! Great job!
i on the other hand think he started painting too soon. metal needed a lot more work IMO
You really did a great job! Lucky vices get its second life.
Respect for your hard work!
Well done!!! There is true art in that accomplishment
I’m greatly impressed by the professionalism you’re demonstrated in this restoration. Bravo!
Great job. The casting were in rough shape. You had a tough job but you gave it back it life.
Has a lathe!? That's impressive. The chickens tell the rest of the story
I'm astounded at how much you improved this vise from the original condition. Bravo, sir.
Also, love the chicken noises.

Nice working vice restoration. I don't know anything about restoring, a consistent tripod and editing cuts would help a lot.
Хорошая проделана работа, да и тискам вторая жизнь подарена. Приятно смотреть когда человек восстанавливает старый инструмент с душой. Удачи Вам.
That's a monster of a vice! Awesome job. Call it the Hulk, it's big and green... lol
Very nice job! The new jaws are excellent.
Nice work. Beautiful handle!
Very nice restore. Good for another 50 +years.
Fantastic job thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Holy smokes Batman! That was very satisfying to watch! Big badass vise. 😎👍
Absolutely beautiful restore. Amazing.
Thanks
Very nice restoration of the vice

Хорошо работа.отличное рестоврация плод до востоновлении натписей.
At first I was pissed but then realized this is the most of what can be done to an old junk. Great job!
It’s not though
Very nice no-bullshit restauration.
Couple recommendations. Metal Bondo and Evaporust.
Yes, the Evaporust would have made his work look better for longer.
Oh, please no bondo! It’s a tool, not a showpiece!
This was a rough project to start with, great job!
Good job, but for many years now I have loosened the most stubborn cross pein (think that's the right spelling) screws with an old fashioned brace and bit, fitted with a cross pein driver. By securing the work piece securely you can then apply nearly your whole weight on the screw driver. Magic.
Oops forgot. Good to apply torque first in the tightening direction. Won't go anywhere but seem to help break the rust. LOL
A really good job! That would make any steel worker proud!
I'm looking for a 100 pd. Steel vise with 6 to 8 in. Jaws!!!!!!!
very good video thanks for taking the time to show it

@jusb1066...
What were the "makers marks"...?
"WORK MR"...
Or some Shyte like that...

lot a work man. gorgeous results. thanks
Turned out better then I thought it would. Good job.
thanks
Wow!!!!
Very nice work, You brought it back to life!
Wonderful job. Congratulations and good luck.
That was one beat up vice. Great job!
What you need is some Evapo-rust.
@Wayne CokeOr even some vinegar.
Excellent restoration
Very nice restoration. I'm wondering: Why are you hitting the screws/screwdriver with a hammer? I guess so you can tighten them further. Is it a special kind of screw driver?
It's an impact driver.
@@Mentorcase Ahhh, very interesting. Thanks. Now I know that I definitely need one too. :)
Ottimo lavoro complimenti
I would recommend to try using rustoleum rust dissolver it comes in multiple forms I personally use the spray bottle one
That was a lot of work. It showed on the good results.
Love your video as always but one thing you could have added was rust removal process regardless be media blasting , electrolysis or evaporust even vinegar then it would have been fun... Cheers mate
хорошая работа. ты настоящий мастер
Brilliant craftsmanship!👍🏻😊
Seriously I could watch your vids all day. Small side note did anyone else hear what sounded like zombie hordes during the time lapse parts lol.
Danger Close - he lives next to a main road: traffic sounds at high speed playback
Verry good ☺😊👍👍
On Myth-Busters, they proved that you CAN actually polish a turd. Looks like you proved it too! Well done.

This is a bad ass vice. Good work!
Marvelous restoration; thank you!
i have never seen such a rough casting on something great job
Some of that might be pitting from that rust
@@jarrettdoesstuff2318 yea some but not all
I do like that you took the time to try to straighten out the brand stamp. A lot of restorers don't bother with that detail and it always irritates me.
Thanks comment
Outstanding work
I dislike these angle grinder channels but fair comment to you, you worked hard to polish that turd.
I won’t be an a** hole and “suggest” anything. Do it the way you want, you do an amazing job! Great resto!
Beautiful job while keeping the original look intact.
Very Nice Work!!
I like the idea of leaving the upper part of the jaws unpainted. That area gets abused in use, so the paint never stays anyway.
You need to get a sand blaster.
First time I’ve seen an impact driver used for assembly. 🤔
Michael B needs to make sure whoever takes apart in the future has a hell of a time getting those screws loose
If they were only for disassembly they would only operate counterclockwise :p
With the weight of the vice and the weight it’s capable of holding I’d make sure those screws were going nowhere.
Really great job.
Some rubber washers might keep the handle from clanging and pinching fingers.
master skill restoration
Good job on restoring it to working condition. Did you really pay $100 for that thing? What currency you talking about?
Yes 100 usd.
very good work
That was one of the most abused vises that I've seen.. lots of work to get it looking decent again.. good job...
Mr.NVC very good restoration 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Incredible.Nice.

I think you've done the best you could've done here with one truly shockingly bad quality vice..
Pretty good job done to the vice. I don't think the vice is bad quality but the casting of it sure was really bad and made it look really ugly. Just needed to use filler on all those deeper crevices then paint it up. That would have turned this project into a true Ugly Duckling ---> Swan transformation.
next video, please show some chickens!
Chickens in a vice... 👍

Sabır isteyen, güzel bir çalışmaydı dostum. Tebrikler.
Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also

Great restoration! With all that rust, I was tempted to dunk it in acid.
hi! perfect work.
where are you from?
Anh ơi làm nguội bằng nước sẽ cứng hơn bằng dầu mà anh
Bằng dầu ok hơn chứ. Bạn thử xem cách làm cứng dao thử
Very nice
Good job.👍👍👍
Just GREAT!
Почему не показано восстановление резьбы на шпильке?
Looks good...but if you could disassemble that housing by hand it wasn’t dead locked
Not bad. I was surprised you didn't body fill in the heavy pits and scratches like you do sometimes. But it is what it is...
let it show it for what it is, ugly but strong
Great job. View with pleasure
