So look man... I have to say, that in the last month since I've found restoration videos, It's been crystal clear that *My Mechanics* is the absolute Gold Standard for camera work, attention to detail, holding each part to the camera, taking care when disassembling and reassembling, filing to get rid of casting marks, and the way the entire process is edited (in video) and put together... But then here you are, with a mind boggling 6.25K subscribers? I say that, because there has to be upwards of 100 channels on TH-cam doing restorations. And _NO ONE, has even come close to taking as much care, and showing precise attention to detail, filing, sanding, and so on,_ (meaning in comparison to My Mechanics) - *Aside from YOU!* You're the ONLY one that's I've come across that is that good, and that I sat and watched the entire video from the moment I clicked on it, and thought 'yeah, I finally found another channel doing it right'. Don't get me wrong, there are some other channels that do 'good' work, but no one files and sands the castings on Vices, and misc restorations, many don't sandblast, most don't use primer for some odd reason, and no one takes that extra second or two with every single part, showing it to the camera, rotating it, pointing out flaws or what's going to be fixed, and putting that info on screen, really taking time with how the video is put together along with what you actually accomplish with your hands on the restorations; so that it can be properly appreciated. I can honestly say, after I got through this video, and went to subscribe, I was shocked you didn't have 900k to 1.1m subscribers; your work is THAT good. You've gained a subscriber for life, and I turned on "ALL" notifications. Superbly well done! And I haven't checked how many videos you have posted yet on your channel, but you can count on me binging on your content until I watch them all lol! :) Cheers, -H.B.
I really like the little Shop King vises. Imagine, a shop tool with actually artistic style! While the quality of today's tools (most of them, anyway) can't be assailed, there's simply no visual presence to them. I love that you took the time to freshen this one up.
Great to see someone doing justice to old work tools, I just found an old Craftsman that looks like it was never used just put off in a corner to rust Im going to do this to it
I inadvertently found your channel and stopped to watch because I had the same experience as you regarding this vise. Awhile back, approximately two weeks ago, I saw one like this with all the original parts. I really liked the retro design and general beauty of the tool. I purchased it with the intent of restoring it as you did. I just received it last week. Your work on this piece was exceptional and you should be proud of the end result. A functional work of art that can be used for another 60-70 years and beyond. As for all the negative comments, just disregard them. First off it’s your tool to do with as you wish. Second I agree that you have brought this vise to what the original designer envisioned on the drawing board. Finally, throughout history tool owners have modified their tools to suit their needs and taste. For someone to criticize you as they did has disrespected you and your extraordinary effort to provide them with entertainment and inspiration. If they didn’t care for it just move on. Congrats on the great work and thanks for the inspiration. You earned another subscriber. Take care and keep the projects coming.
There are only three possibilities: you don't know nothing about restorations or you are his grandpa. Encouraging scammers like this one is not a good thing for the society.
Fantastic restoration job. I restore old mechanical workshop items, so I know just how many hours this type of project takes to do, and how sore your fingers get after all the filing and sanding. The attention to detail is commendable...you even polish the heads of hidden screws you’ll never see again! Really nice job. Thanks for taking the time to video it all and post it here. This is so much better viewing than watching tv. Cheers!
The thing I love about this is reusing pretty much everything. A lot of restorers throw out parts that are bent and make new parts to replace the old bent parts. A lovely restoration.
Amazing! Very envious of the talents put into this restoration, and the videos clear explanation of the process! Highlights the throw away generation that sadly seems the normal now............
I recently filed the surface of the anvil on a vintage Eclipse vice I restored back to flat so I can feel your pain with all that filing! Whew! This one is very beautiful! Well worth the labor I'd say.
Very nice job. I have a C 0 Wilton that I have disassembled and am ready to restore.Theseare greatvises and well worth the effort. I have refreshed a C1 and have used it for many years.
Absolutely correct. Even his hand gestures follow Mr My Mechanic's. Mind you, there's no fault in following that kind of detail and commitment to excellence.
Though some steps may seem unnecessary it just goes to show professionals have standards and will put in the extra steps to achieve perfection. Good job chap, ya got yourself a real gem.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME RESTORATION!!! I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Shop King! That’s a dope name for a channel 😂. I’ve never seen a vise like this before. You did a great job. Its so amazing to watch this come back to life.
This turned out amazing! I really liked the touch of painting over the lettering with white paint to make it stand out. Your attention to detail is outstanding!
What a thing of beauty you have created from a dirty old piece of workshop equipment. The downside is that you need to put it in a display cabinet now, because if you used it for the purpose it was intended, it would soon be an old scruffy vice again. ;-)

Très joli! Par contre,moi j'aurai strié les mors! Lisses comme ça,la pièce risque de glisser!!!
Human Being one channel I reccomend which also has good camera shots is ‘Rescue & Restore’ 👍

They knew how to design things in the 1950s
That's a job well done
Colour matched grease. Now, that's dedication to perfection. Fantastic video and thanks for sharing. Ten out of ten.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
@@PegasusProjects It was a joy to watch and utterly absorbing. Thanks again and I look forward to watching your next challenge.
This is very very nice restoration that i seen before complete details good job sir!
Thank you very much!
Great to see someone doing justice to old work tools, I just found an old Craftsman that looks like it was never used just put off in a corner to rust Im going to do this to it
How’d that restoration go?
@@PegasusProjects The old rusted vice looks new thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice work.
Excellent attention to detail! Thanks for the upload.
Thank you!
Always good to see something from the past restored, but not even just that, it's to be used again and not just sat aside. Awesome job.
Thank you!
You make it look so easy, but that is a LOT of work. Enjoyed watching it. Great stuff!
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
One hell of an awesome job with the sanding and the rasps! 💯👍
Thank you William

Nice tear down, clean up and fix. Beautiful restoration.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos Michael!
It looks better than a new one ..You do a great job at filing, sanding and polishing the bolts and parts that stay bare metal
Thank you! Those pieces definitely take patience
Came out on my birthday. Thanks for the enjoyable present!
I recently filed the surface of the anvil on a vintage Eclipse vice I restored back to flat so I can feel your pain with all that filing! Whew! This one is very beautiful! Well worth the labor I'd say.
I didn't think I would like all of the polished surfaces, but it came out fantastic!
I have 4 smaller vices and I really want a shop king for the retro look. Nice resto
Great work and nicely entertaining. Thanks for the time and video. Take care.
YES!!! primer first then a nice coat of paint, good job ! very clean
Don Richard Umaña no other way to do it. Thank you!
@@PegasusProjects you are very welcome sir!
Very nice job. I have a C 0 Wilton that I have disassembled and am ready to restore.Theseare greatvises and well worth the effort. I have refreshed a C1 and have used it for many years.
Thank you. They are great vises. There are very few in my area, but I always keep an eye out for them when I travel.
Awesome work
Just the purtiest little thang. Well worth the effort and will be a pleasure for the rest of your life.
One of my favorite tools in my shop.
Super restoration cool job😷
Thank you!
Somebody has been watching My Mechanics.
He is the brother of ´´my mechanics´´
@@mschnee8536 Makes sense; they even have the same accent.
I noticed that... Similar steps
Absolutely correct. Even his hand gestures follow Mr My Mechanic's. Mind you, there's no fault in following that kind of detail and commitment to excellence.
But he forgot the repair and restore part and went directly to shiny paint! 😂😂😂
Though some steps may seem unnecessary it just goes to show professionals have standards and will put in the extra steps to achieve perfection. Good job chap, ya got yourself a real gem.
Thank you
Absolutely brilliant, your work is a great inspiration for my own videos😊👍 thank you so much
Very nice restoration. I've redone a couple ShopKing as well. It's nice to take something old and making it nice again. Great job!
I really liked this restoration work!
You sir have turned that into a piece of art! Bravo!
Thank you.
I really like that you take the time to file off the cast marks. Makes for a much better end product.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful vise. Outstanding restoration. This was obviously a labor of love. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME RESTORATION!!! I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

Very nice looking vice! Looking forward to watching your other restorations!

Wow! You put a lot of effort into that project! Great results!
Thank you my friend!
Phenomenal restoration!!
I love it when the restorers on channels like this don't just restore, but improve. Great work, man.
Thank you sir!
Nice work.
a work of art! well done
Time to get a new drill press, that thing is wobbly! Nice job on this. I love that you brought it back. Very cool.
You’re telling me! I went and found a “new” Delta press from the 40s. Going to be a project in the future. But it’s being used now.
Its good to see a true artist at work ! The attention to detail is amazing ! Well done
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for subscribing!

You are an artist! What a beautiful job.
Thank you for the kind words!
Outstanding job, sir. Unless I missed something; I think you restored it without spending a great deal of money. My compliments.
Thank you! It was under $30 in materials I believe.
Nice Restoration

Incredible restoration and great attention to detail!
Shop King! That’s a dope name for a channel 😂. I’ve never seen a vise like this before. You did a great job. Its so amazing to watch this come back to life.
That is a good channel name idea!
Awesome job!!!
Another nice restoration with great attention to detail! Vises are my vice!
Thank you! Good to hear I’m not alone!
This turned out amazing! I really liked the touch of painting over the lettering with white paint to make it stand out. Your attention to detail is outstanding!
Thank you! The letters on these older castings are too cool to not make them stand out. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@PegasusProjects I cheated on mine and used a painters pad.
Awesome work again. You cant go wrong with a Wilton Vice they are definitely one of the better made. Ones around
Thank you. No you can’t they are good reliable equipment
Some SICK hours. Some SICK work.
Brilliant restoration, a lot of hard work went in to this!
Thank you!
Excellent resto. Great job.
Thank you!
Great job on the restoration. Looks like a brand new vise. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
We have this same exact vice and the color is intact it’s more of an Orange ish red.. I didn’t realize it was from the 1950’s! That’s cool.
This is the first time I see such an amazing restoration. You have done a great job!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Just found you. I love the attention to detail, especially cleaning up the seams, and molding marks. Love your job. New sub here
Good work great result 👍
Beautiful lines on this vise.
Great job as usual
Thank you!
Excellent job !!!
Thank you
Amazing restore
Thank you
What a thing of beauty you have created from a dirty old piece of workshop equipment. The downside is that you need to put it in a display cabinet now, because if you used it for the purpose it was intended, it would soon be an old scruffy vice again. ;-)
That turned out great.
Thank you!
Beautiful vice, own one myself. Art Deco styling.
Oddly satisfying watching the whole process, I have spent many a night refurbishing something old "just because " . Great job bro!
mario zermeno Thank you!
You are a very skilled person awesome work
Thank you
Beautiful work!!
Thank you.
That's a cool little vise. Nice job on the restoration.👍
Thank you
Lovely restoration, well done.
Thank you
I bet you don’t want to see any sandpaper for awhile lol!! Great job on the restoration!!!
Great stuff!!! I have the same vice on my garage bench.
Thank you. It’s a good little vise.
Finally I see someone repair cast iron correctly
Excellent brazing
Beautiful job....
Great job!!
Thank you!
Well done, sir!
Great job!
Thank you!
Very nice very professional
Damn! Had me smiling at "hardware store was closed so I made myself a cotter-pin". LOL, loved it
