- Bought this Vise quite cheap at a local auction but knew nothing about it at the time other than it was in solid condition, no cracks or bends anywhere etc. Turns out it is an old Peter Wright 5 1/2" Leg Vise estimated to be made around the 1890's. Decided to give this a simple restoration to make it function properly again but also to maintain its character and patina. I originally was going to paint it but decided against it as I think the Boiled linseed oil works well in showing it off. Thanks for watching!
It’s good to see a man who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty,most vids have guys in gloves.
oiled bare metal is the best look for tools.
Very nice job!
I have a similar post vice I got from my dad
Curious why you didn’t remove the spring… was the spring clamp welded?
I just pulled this vise out of my dad's basement workshop. It's been there since I was a kid on his workbench. I'm almost 60. My dad's been gone for 16 years. The vise is in excellent shape. Can't wait to get it on my bench and start using it.
I love to rebuild those things. I have 2 now needing the same treatment. I take to lazy mans way out to clean. White vinegar. Its alot of fun. Tools the same. Smithing is dirty. But tools take care of is very important.
Should have the jaws machined and new jaws made fthen drilled and taped into old jaws. Then again I'm more about usability of a tool
Grand ol gal lives on to serve another day. Nice post vice Sir. Looks like a new penny now.
🙏 Blessed days now
Crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️
For goodness sake,put some HEAT on it!
Buen trabajo de restauración, te felicito 🇵🇪
How much is one like that worth
Excellent practical restoration to prepare an old vise for another lifetime of service. Good work!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Those National Dried Milk tins you have there -(under the window)- tickled me.....i remember those as a boy when mum used to feed my sister!
Kind of goes with the restoration types that you do.....anyone else remember them too!?!
Very nice job 👍 I had a vice just like that one when I was a kid in the early 60’s
Muito bom trabalho. Me diz, essa morsa torno que você usou, é a mesma do outro vídeo? 🇧🇷👍
Looks great.
How did you clean the inside of the nut?
A lot of effort and good result 👍
That is awesome
😍😍😍
this is a refurbish, not a restoration... only 2/3 of the vise was disassembled and cleaned, no repairs were preformed while doing this vice
Read the description, I stated I only gave it a simple restoration to make is useable again while being able to keep the character, whether you want to call it a restoration or refurbishment etc. I don't like making old tools perfect as long as they work as intended :)
