Nice restoration; I think they are typically mounted closer to flush with the bench, right? I'm not sure -- I see several restoration videos about this but very little about how they are typically used (I realize it is a "just a vise" so it isn't rocket science, but there can be subtleties and tricks depending on the design!).

Es un snapon amigo tengo uno igual

Nice restoration. I have an old American Grinder No. 2 in the restore queue. The bench clamp is missing the wing.

Man that thing is cool!

Hello, I would like to clarify if you do custom restorations, can I ship ? How much would it cost ?

Looking at the beginning paper - it looks like you're missing a spring in the cap? Also does that wrench go in reverse? I'm struggling to see how it would switch directions?

Watched 2 videos so far, very relaxing and nice results in the end. Have you stopped making videos?

Good video !!!

Should have mirror polished everything, would have looked a thousand times better!

The copper plating was a nice touch, but how well did it adhere in the long run? I thought that to copper plate you first had to nickel plate, because copper wouldn't adhere directly to steel, cast iron, aluminum, whatever, without the intermediate plating of nickel. The copper doesn't plate the part itself, right? Instead, the copper plates the nickel plating. Or did I miss something?

Qual a solução química utilizadas ???

Thank you for this video, perfect!! Eddie

Awesome video. does anybody by any chance know the size of the bed plate disk?

👍

I bet the cast iron on that Wilton Vice wasn’t done in this country. Which is why they use a stick on placard instead of how they used to make them with the name being part of the casting. They cheaped out on their manufacturing. I watched a video of their manufacturing process and they get containers of cast iron blanks shipped to them. They do the machining and assembly in this country. So the cast iron comes from Somewhere in the pacific rim. Probably China.

Looks really good sir! You’re supposed to heat the cast iron up before welding it. Maybe next time.

Was the body originally copper? If not, what do you think it was?

Nice work. Merry X-MAS to You and Your Family.

What's that liquid Blue copperas with vinegar?

That’s a pretty cool tool , 😂

I wish i still had my Tonka toys from the 70s. That looks great.

That old grinder looks great. The handle turned out very well. I like that you leave the badges in original condition. I do the same thing in my own restorations. Nice restoration

Looks great. The screws were a great idea to reattach the covers.

Awesome restoration. That old badge looks great against the new paint and polished parts.

Thebold girl looks like new again. Nice restoration

Nice job brother. I have an older 3/8 drive Craftsman air ratchet that I have to rebuild. This video will definitely help.

Nice restoration brother. That old pipe wrench made quite a transformation.

She's a beauty! That hammerite verde green looks awesome! Nice attention to detail brother! Wow!

They turned out beautiful brother. Great choice in stain. It really looks good with the cold bluing and polished heads.

That looks great and the old skillet doesn't look to bad either 😂 must go make an egg sammich! Nice work brother

Very nice restoration brother. Looks great. I guess I'm going to have to stop passing those up when i see them and restore a few of them. Nice work

Those old saw sets are pretty cool. I have two that i inherited from my father. I also inherited all of his old Disston hand saws so they really came in handy when i restored the saws and sharpened and set the teeth.

That looks awesome! Nice work

Stunning work, great job 👍

thats an awful paint job

Beautiful job.

Nice job although when you copper plated it I expected you to chrome plate it next. Also why the gloves, do you have tattoos you are hiding?

Just a question. Why do the rust removal step when you are sandblasting after? Wouldn't sandblasting alone be the same?

Quite astonished about the copper plating. If you have normal steel and not stainless steel as it looks here, there is a galvanic couple which will eat the steel over time.

why always start with dry rust? what if put it in kerosine or something first?

I just restored my great grand daddy's axe from 1896 last year. I replaced the handle, and I finished the restoration by replacing the head last week. Looks like new.

Przepiękny jest ten bardzo stary i nie typowy klucz pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

Looking at the vise I would say that the table it is mounted on needs a little upgrade because it lags behind the vise ;-). Really enjoyed the restoration.

I think the copper plating ruins the original look of the wrench. Should have left it at the bluing stage. Other than that, nice job.

Looks like it'd even work on nuts of the human kind in a pinch!

I have one of these wrenches in very nice original condition. Wish I could post a pic here. It's a cool old ratchet wrench!
