@@charliesmadug I’m restoring a similar model. Once you put any solvent or cleaner on that plate you lose an irreplaceable label. DONT TOUCH THAT TOP FACE! Doesn’t need restoring
After all that you kept the old wood jaws? I would have left the original paint, it appeared to be in serviceable shape. The label also, even if you can't see, it at least you know it is there. Both real paint and a cool label are FAR more important than an oily set of dinged-up, replaceable wood jaws, that will slip and make the vise subpar.
Great work. It’s most likely a model from the 40s, 50s or early 60s. Models from the 20s and 30s had the RD (registered design) number on the face plate, according to someone else on TH-cam. I suppose you should have saved the label, but meh - these vices are very popular, but not really collectible: people buy them to use them. And anybody who is serious about collecting them would only look for unrestored ones, anyway. It just hurts me that Record thought this specific blue would be a good colour for their brand. It’s ghastly. I’ve been looking for one for a while now, and I’m planning to remove the paint and just wax it or find another good way to protect it from rust. But well done, anyway.
Bit late to the party but if you know someone with access to Bookers you can buy white vinegar for about £3.5 for 5L instead of those tesco bottles. Chinese supermarkets also sell it in large volumes. Second where did you get the paint. I have the same vise to restore.
Funny you should say this, nearly done with a new video and actually bought some from bookers for it. The paint is from paragon paints UK. It's roundel blue semi gloss enamel paint, I think it's brilliant, it's not the cheapest stuff but well worth it in my opinion.
Agree with everyone (except ,maybe, for Richard Frankland opinion) on a good restoration but shame about the label. OK, it's not on show, but that's not the point, is it? As for the wooden jaws, in my opinion you did the right thing in reusing them although as Richard points out oil may not have been a good choice for finish. The wood looked nice and old and appears to be hardwood so does it really need anything on it? Non-the-less you've gained a subscriber today.
OK job on the restoration. I'm amazed that in the UK, they package BLO and other chemicals in beverage style plastic bottles. State side, some child would assume it's a beverage and drink it. The lawyers would have a field day with that.
Dude. Most of the bottles of such stuff I buy in the uk have childproof tops like medicent bottles. With BLO it's a pain because after use they become glued down. Took me ages to reopen mine again.
If a child can get to a container with harmful liquid and drink it, you’ve already made a few other grave mistakes. The shape of the bottle may be a small factor in this, but rule number 1 would be to put it away safely. Similarly, if you keep your cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink thinking “oh, it’ll be alright, they don’t look like juice”, you might be in for a surprise. Alcohol comes in beverage style bottles as well, lawyers don’t seem to have field days with those.
And that right there tells you everything you need to know about the good ol' USA - If it looks edible/drinkable then stick it down your throat without thinking ! Dude, nitric acid looks just like lemonade, bubbles and all, and if a *stupid* child finds a ten gallon bottle of it then the packaging won't matter because they'll assume they got really lucky and found ten gallons of lemonade. Teach your kids to THINK, ffs !
Enjoyed the video, finished article looks the business. My opinion only... but the tag that everyone has their knickers in a knot about is under the bench when the vice is mounted so you cannot see it anyway. Its a workshop tool not a trophy. I would not have re used the old timber pads, they're disposable items. Surely time for new ones if you're going to all that trouble. And I wouldn't put linseed oil on them either as that can transfer to whatever you put in the vice and reduces friction - something you want in a vice.

Oh my gosh why in the world did you ruin that label?? When it is so easy to remove and save. And if you didn't know how you could look it up on TH-cam. And if you didn't want to then you're not a true lover of things that are vintage. I had to quit watching after that.
I thought he had a reproduction one on hand, but had me and others all over the world thinking there for one moment ...looking at ya from Auckland, New Zealand ...
Great video, would have tried to keep the old label on the inspection plate but brilliant restoration.
should have saved old id tag but over all came out looking real nice
Really good, I’m a woodworker, just my thoughts the jaws should be untreated, non oiled soft pine, so won’t damage other woods you are working with
THE TAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Handsome looking vise. Thank you for not using unnecessary background music.
Great watching , I really learnt something , I restorate my old wooden vice myself . just by watching , GREAT STUFF.
Lovely, glad you kept it blue👍🏼
Very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. 👍🇦🇺
Great work. Attention to detail. Top job.
A very sympathetic restoration in the correct colour not too shiny great job .... information for George Pretnick ...children in the UK can read !!!
Everything was fine, but destroyed the identification plate and this spoils the impression.
Agreed. Couldn't believe it when it was just obliterated 😢😢

Fantastic job looks great thanks for sharing and love the colour. 🍺🍺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank goodness it had the important feature of a Dust Exclusion Plate
Filmed in the correct style of doing the work. Thanks much! (Americans tend to be "mouthy".)
Would love to preserve the id tag if its mine..overall great job
beautiful restoration buddy 👍
Wish you had shown the trickiest part of the reassembly - winding that darned coiled watch spring. Devilish business!
Hi bro 👋👋👋very good restoration carpenter vise 👍👍👍and video cool 🤝🤝🤝
Another good restoration buddy.
Hi,
I see the paint you used on the vice comes in different forms do you use gloss or semi gloss or satin!
Great job you did 👍
Many thanks

Quedó lista para trabajar, felicitaciones por el buen trabajo 🇵🇪
Fantastic restoration!
Very nice but you neglected the most important thing - the label
Thank you

@@worseforwearrestoration924 many thanks. Will look for paint.
Nice job, but bro’, the tag.....
Lost a lot of value $ wise, I would have tried to keep the old label on the inspection plate and give it a couple of clear coats!!
What was that green goo that removed the paint?
Hey mate, it was Paint stripper, the specific brand I used in this video was nitro mors. Hope this helps 👍
Shouldn’t have gotten ridden of that old label.

Losing the tag makes my butthole twitches.... But great restoration anyway...

Really disappointed to see you grind away the ID tag. Thumbs down. Unsubscribed.
Absolutely agree
