Nicely done!! I have one gifted to me by a friend. It is functional, but needs some love for sure. I am going to clean it up much like you did. I am however lucky it looks 100% complete.
A buddy found one of these on a road trip, and required $ 40.00 to leave it. Have an Ash stump pre installed in work area. Love the burned oil finish, just what I need!
Nice job. I would be wary of that spring though. You are right about the box and screw being the high-wear parts. They are a better sign to look at than the handle when checking out an old post vice. That spring is going to put a lot of unnecessary and pointless wear on both the screw and box. Most of those old vices have little to nothing acting as a spring, and they work fine. I have used mine for 30 years with a spring that did nothing. Have fun, Blacksmithing is a most enjoyable craft.
Looks good. I bought a new Kanca 6". Much easier and it is welded. Im not a fan of wedges that might come loose during use. I prefer bolted and welded joints. If you do any smithing at all the vise is a crucial tool. Forge On!
If you new in the game of smithing I'd recommend watching John from Black Bear Forge. Need more Aussies in the game. I appreciate you. Keep up the great content!!!
Cheers mate, I actually have been following him for some time now. We've been working on the house for a bit but I'll be posting some new content very soon.
Thanks for posting this video as i need to replace the mounting bracket and was not looking forward to the amount of forge welding that was ahead for this project i still have some work forging the part that goes around the leg and spring I'm using 12mm x 40mm steel I'll still have some forging as I'm looking too make the split mounting bracket
Hey John, nice project and result! I have an exact same leg vice in my shop here in tbe Netherlands, exact duplicate. The only makers mark I found was a small anchor and "Amsterdam" stamped next to it. Do you know more about the origins of your vice?
Hey, Thanks I've got no idea of the origins of mine. I'm from Australia and bought it off a fella who had plans to restore it but never got there. I can't find any markings on mine but would be keen to know if anyone could identify it.

That vice and stand turned out beautifully

Awesome and you are right mine is missing that as well. I do not have the equipment yet to work the metal that I need to yet.

Very Good…!! best restoration
Muy bueno,👌👍👍,pero yo pondría un pié macizo,el peso extra es muy necesario en un tornillo de banco.
Nice work. I subbed you.
sacrée belle restauration !
L'outil était déjà magnifique, et tu a réussi a le sublimer d'avantage, merci pour la vidéo =]
John is my cousin his really good at this type of stuff

@@johnkeysyt If I ever find anything I can let you know. Enjoy your nicely restored vice!
Find it frustrating not seeing if you re- treated the spring after annealing it with the torch to bend
Каким маслом после обжига обработали?
Hey, Boiled linseed oil.
Did you have to add weight to the stand?
Also how long is the leg that goes to the ground, the one I have is missing most of leg.
Not yet, but I reckon will be filling the box with concrete shortly.
The leg from the bottom of the rectangular bit is 340mm to the ground or approx 13 1/2 inches.
Thank you very much for the information about the length of the leg , I will try to weld a bit of steel onto it .
What is the angle on that spring I can't seem to get mine to the right angle
Hey, It's 15 degrees for mine. It's at 5 1/2 post vice.
Ok thanks I'm pretty sure that is what size mine is I haven't worked on mine after my failed attempt to fix a new spring
All you did was clean the rust off, Why do you need to clean the rust off?
