Coachmakers Vise ~ RESTORATION ~ A PERFECT vise for your She Shed

  • This is a 99 year old COACH-MAKERS Vice! It bears the name Athol, but was REALLY made by Starrett! What people call these vises have changed over time. You may call this as a carriage makers vise, a pattern makers vice, a sheet metal vise, or even a wood working vise.
    A coach maker or carriage maker was a trade where the maker would build or repair horse drawn carriages. Through the evolution of time and of the trades coach makers changed to coach smiths and largely worked on building and repairing railroad coaches, carts and the like. These people had skills in woodworking and also blacksmithing, as it took the ability to work with both wood & iron to accomplish much of the things these craftsmen dealt with! These were VERY skilled people of their time! They have almost been completely forgotten about mainly because their trade name was too specific to early means of transportation!
    Coachmakers vises have smooth faced jaws that are usually much taller and thinner than typical bench vises. That provides for more access to your work piece clamped into the vise. It's a great vise for filing or working with taller materials. These vises also open much wider than comparable mechanics vises allowing you to work on larger work pieces.
    The smooth jaws are also relatively "non marring" and don't leave marks in your work piece like a typical mechanics bench vise will, making it great when working with soft metals like copper, brass, or even wood and plastics, or you just plain dont want something marked up!
    These vises were largely made by company's like Reed, Prentiss or Athol, such as this one, but one thing's for sure, NONE of these vises are still in production today.
    These vises are getting harder & harder to find for many reasons. I'm willing to bet that these vices are / were VERY easy to abuse, and since they have tall thin jaws and they open so large, it would be EASY to use this vise improperly, and break it! That on top pf the fact that MUCH less of these vises were made, and they stopped making them many many decades ago are just a few of my opinions on why many people have never even heard of one!
    Laroy Starrett, one of America’s tool pioneers was the founder, along with other associates, of the Athol Machine Company in 1868. During his time with the company Starrett developed a line of vises and other mechanics tools. He left the company due to patent disputes in 1875. Those disputes prompted Starrett to sue the Athol Manufacturing Co., he won, leaving him with enough capital to buy Athol in 1905.
    Athol Machine Co. changed its name to Athol Machine and Foundry in December 1920. Therefore Athol vises bearing the name “Athol Machine Co” are pre 1921 and those labeled “Athol M&FCo” are post 1920.
    Therefore any Athol vise manufactured after 1905 is a Starrett vise whether it bears the Starrett brand name or not.
    The L.S. Starrett company is still in operation today making incredible high quality machinist tools & precision measurement tools.
    I found this vise buried in a locked cabinet in an old Blacksmith / Fabrication shop. I was digging through a bunch of old tools, and at the very bottom of the pile completely covered in black soot / oil & grease was this Athol / Starrett 413 1/2X Coach Makers vise from post 1921, just waiting to be discovered again!!
    I truly appreciate that you've taken the time to watch as I bring back the bygone era of THIS Coachmakers Vise!

    What are your thoughts on larger Restoration projects with MULTIPLE videos? Do you like how smaller restorations start AND finish, all in one video? Do you dislike having to wait for the next part? Or would the complexity of MASSIVE machines offset all of that? I'm planning to start one of my larger projects soon, and wanted your opinion!

    Your work on tool restoration and your knowledge about their origins and use is a valuable asset. I was wondering if you have thought about finding sponsors in your community who would support a “tool museum” that could serve as an education and learning center for kids who might want to enter the trades, go into fields like engineering or design, or simply offer to the public an interesting view and perspective into the past.

    Machinists vice, the little anvil bit on the back is usually how to tell. Pattern makers vice is a woodworking vice. Also woodworking vices have wood on the jaws or are mostly made of wood. Metal will mark or damage wood too easily for most applications and you generally want to clamp a larger area of wood to reduce marking and improve holding.
    All that being said, very nice restore!

      @@SalvageWorkshop I'll encourage you to Google Pattern Makers Vise and show images. They are awesome vises and great examples and engineering. But... they are all designed for wood lined jaws. And what makes a Vise a pattern making vise traditionally is partly that the jaws can pivot to hold non-parallel work.
      You will find the term abused in advertising as they were considered the best of the best at the time they were used and so those trying to sell to the under-educated would use the term as a sales point. Much like "hand made" and "made by hand" take a beating in modern times. Don't even get me started on "Genuine Leather" (the charlitans).
      Anyway, patterns would be made out of wood initially since it was easy to shape but it would be important that the surface remain undamaged as any mark would transfer to the casting.

    First, use the correct size of sanding disk. Something smaller would have saved you on filling gouges.
    Second: Never paint the top of the jaws on a vise. Though you have a very nice anvil, it won't always be handy. If there is no paint, the tops can be used.
    Third: What happened to the "She-shed?"

    You screwed up a good vise. It's too pretty to use now. lol. As far as the projects I like them all. Even the long ones. It gives me something to look forward too. Kinda like a cabin build. You just cant do it in one day. Your videos are great. I look forward to every one.

    I will not bore you with my opinion on colour choise; The thing is now protected against the elements and will not give rust/dirt stains to everything it touches.
    Please- do make some restorations that are multiple episodes! I love to dive into interesting series- if they are well marked to find the follow up episodes, that is..

    There are so many different types and designs for vices!!! It's AMAZING how people can take an idea and re shape it to be able to do a really specific job. I love that vice but I'm not 100% sold on the paint job........ which isn't really a problem as it's not my vice lol. I am 100% in love with your dog's and I wish mine were as well behaved, but one of mine was raised around a LOT of cats and has so many cat traits it's unreal........ including coughing up fake fur balls!!!! Seriously confused dogs LOL

    • @SalvageWorkshop
      @SalvageWorkshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree Glen! I love seeing different innovations of simple things like a vise! Regarding the paint job, I wasn't sure at first either, but it looks SHARP! Now my shop will start looking like I scattered a bag of skittles everywhere! It's taken a LOT of work & love to get our Weims so well behaved, but they have a natural desire to please their owners, which makes getting them to obey MUCH easier! That's crazy about your Catdog! Never seen a dog act that way!

    Considering he may not know the year the vise was cast, he should have used paint remover/stripper to remove the paint before wirebrushing it. The paint could be lead based.

    On a really big project I wouldn't mind 3, 4 or more videos. I you loose the way the project got to where it is we can always watch the one before. I like the way you are editing the vids and the time laps are usually funny and fun to watch. Small projects, if there is a lot of detail could be one or more videos. Right now I'm kind cooped up in the house so I have to say, can't get enough. Thanks for all you do to entertain us.

    • @SalvageWorkshop
      @SalvageWorkshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I appreciate your feedback on that! My worry is that series videos tend to get less and less views as the project progresses, and my hope it to find a way to change that! I have some MASSIVE projects planned, and they will definitely be at least 4 part videos! Way too much work for them to be anything less! I appreciate you watching & commenting, so it works out great for both of us!

    Sometimes you seem to have a hard time pushing a pin through. I I believe this is due to the fact that you don't take into consideration that that might not be a pain but a dowel. Adele is conical shaped one end is bigger than the other you can spot this because the small end will have a rounded tip.

  • @timjohnson6864
    @timjohnson6864 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Enjoyed the "restoration" right up to the point you tied to make it more aesthetically pleasing then how it would have been originally as a general rule i only repair peices tht have broke and dont change any casting defects unless absolutely necessary

    • @SalvageWorkshop
      @SalvageWorkshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Fair enough! Everyone has their preferences! Ya know, I have heard that from MANY people over the years, but If you really think about it, the way it was "originally" was fairly unfinished... Now the reason for that was because these were tools that were NOT designed to be overly beautiful as much as they were designed to do a specific job, and the work it would have taken to clean up EVERY casting was just not worth it! When I clean up the casting imperfections on an old tool like this, my goal is to make it the BEST example of that old tool out there today! Maybe It'll even get someone who may not have been interested in saving old tools to take interest, who knows! I totally understand leaving things as original as possible! I have thousands upon thousands of pounds of cast iron machinery that is completely original, and I also like it that way, but sometimes I enjoy bringing out the beauty that always COULD have been!
