Thanks for the video. Any idea what this vice weighs? I have one but don't have scales to weigh it. Fabulous vice.

JUNK

WTF! Jim, Jim Mate where are you going with that rope? Jim why's the door locked? let me in, Don't end it all in a messy shed! KZbin is not worth it mate!!! Hope things get better Mate and you return soon as I'm going to miss all the swearing, Jim 🥃 👍 😊 Tony

Hi Jim. I'm writing to you from Argentina. I must tell you that I'm very sorry that you have to leave the KZbin channel because of a problem with the damn algorithm. In my country, we say this when something like this happens: What a mess, man! I discovered your channel very recently. I don't restore things to sell them or to make money with a KZbin channel. I restore things that I want, because I like them or because I need something (for example: a tool or a kerosene stove or whatever), I look for something cheap, old and of good quality. Then, if I see that it's at a good price, I buy it and restore it for my personal use. With ALL of your channels, those who are dedicated to restoring things and invest TIME, MONEY and LOVE in the restoration and in spreading what you do through KZbin (where to place the camera, how to put the lights to make it look better, the editing work, etc.), I learn A LOT (I am a musician, a pianist and I teach music to kindergarten children). My father has built four automatic wire bending machines himself (based on an Italian model which he has perfected.) The amount of tooling he has done for this is COUNTLESS and he has bought many old machine tools to do his job: a power file, a bench lathe, a bench boring machine, a milling machine, a grinding machine, a power saw, several rocker arms (he only has one now), an autogenous welder, a bench grinder, two hand lathes, an orbital sander, a heat gun, a 200 litre compressor, paint brushes, paint torches, etc. And of course, LOTS of hand tools (you name it Jim). With all that my father has taught me, what I now have at my disposal in his shop, plus the WONDERFUL work that you and all the people like you have done, I am ENORMOUSLY grateful. I'm writing this to wish you LUCK in whatever you do from now on; whether that means you're leaving KZbin for good or, at some point, you're thinking about coming back in some way that suits you financially and emotionally. So, even though I've only recently found your channel, THANK YOU, Jim, for spreading the word about what you do and for teaching us how to work.

I've never seen one of your videos before. But ironically this one was promoted to my home page and i watched it. So don't give up. I will even subscribe!! ;)

It's a sad day in the tool restoration world when this kind of thing happens. But you are right Jim, the YT algorithm is rubbish/broken - I hardly see any recommendations for my subscriptions unless I watched them in the last week. I set my account so it is not monetized, I just did YT for the enjoyment of being in the workshop, and the challenge of trying (and failing) to make a decent video, which is really, really hard! I hope your ebay accounts continue to do well, and hopefully you will get more throughput for them if you are not stopping to film some of the cleanups. All the best!

How ironic that this is the first video of yours that gets recommend to me by KZbin.

Thanks Jim I really hope it's forever, I never enjoyed your restorations or the infamous Jim Rants, good bye and good riddance.

Have web site with this.

you have just been promoted to me, im not even looking for any restoration NOR tool videos ... somehow the algo hit again huh

Was wondering why KZbin was suggesting a tool restoration video when I was discussing restoring some shovels... 🤔

Thanks Jim I really hope it's not forever I really enjoy your restorations and the infamous Jim Rants😢

As a recent subscriber I am sorry to see you go but completely understand. I do hope you will continue your restorations though and maybe a stand alone website. Enjoy the break in the meantime and good luck to you.

You’ll be missed Jim 🫡

Hire a cute little bunny of a 20 yr old girl in yoga pants to present your finished tools. Might help.. a bit..

That’s a shame. I just found this channel and it’s your last one ☹️

I still love that😂

Gutted to see you go mate. I will miss the restorations and your sense of fu**in' humour. All the best to you and your family.

DUDEZILLA!!! I TOTALLY agree 100% with ya!!! DA TUBE does A LOT of stuff that makes you go HMMMMMMMMM That smells fishy! As mission control told John Glenn, "GOD SPEED!" I am going to miss ya young Jedi!

KZbin doesn't promote. Having said that I know there are many of us that look forward to your videos and watching how you do things. Do what is best for you Jim but know you will be missed.

Thats the way to go, nice little Record. KZbin works in mysterious ways, thats for sure. You'll be missed.

Sorry to see you go Jim, but I understand the reasons......😢😢

Jimbo, if you don't make no more videos I ain't ridin' yer feckin' bus no more! Simple as that mate!

I will miss you mate 🍺🍺👍👍

Well Bye, see ya in the next one. Good job on the Record.

Nice restoration Jim. I hate to see you go because i really do enjoy your channel and i look forward to your videos.

Great video and nice restoration. Why don't you tell us what you really think. Can't wait to see your next video

How about coming back for a Halloween Challenge, J?

May be you should start a comedy channel. I know what you mean and totally understand where u coming from. I'll go watch George now 😜

Nice clean up/restoration of the Record pipe wrench. I have not seen one before either. Sorry to see you go buddy but I understand your reasons. That is the exact reason I refuse to start a channel of my own. I’m too old for the aggravation. Look after yourself and your family and keep in touch mate.

First and i guess last ,love ya man 😢

Very nice and useful walk through Mate 🔨👍😊

That's a beauty Jim, loving the colour combination! 🔨👍😊

You are the best Jim !

Great work on the vise Jim. Black definitely suits it better than red. I must admit I would have trouble selling that too. Great to see you again doing what you’re doing.

Great step by step. You made it look so easy 👏👍👌

Jim- Next to my great grandfather’s vise I think the York vises are my favorite! Fantastic restoration and upgrade! 😃👍

That turned out really nice. I love the York vises.

Beautiful restoration Jim. That classic black looks great with the silver lettering. Nicely done sir

Fantastic video the colour ok but it's not green 😂 Yes Jim fantastic video and a fantastic job Thanks for sharing your time and skill 🍺🍺👍👍👕

Nice resto Jim, I missed out on one of these a while ago and I'm kicking myself for not buying sooner. Like the silver, think red would have looked good too👍🏻

Loved the step by step commentary! That came out Fantastic! The silver was the right choice and Ya I'd have trouble letting that one go too..Someone would have to pony up a pretty penny to get it. Can't wait to see the other one! I'm not sure how you can top this one.

Nice one Jim.

Yellow goes with black well but the silver looks good all the best
