[@astrodax2753]

That is one pretty vise! The beautiful design and the perfect restoration adding the polished parts, turned into work of art honestly

[@twinstwice22]

Think this is the first time I've seen a vice restoration where it's the back jaw that moves. Also a far better finish on the hammerite using the roller. Great job.

[@meinemechaniker]

thanks 👍

[@reigninoel]

It's certainly a less common design, but they're out there. One advantage I can see about the sliding rear jaw is that the vice won't extend into the space in front of your bench in the case of a small/cramped shop, the obvious downside is that the jaw span will always sit over the bench top instead of hanging off the front, which can make it difficult to clamp larger/more awkward workpieces.

[@russjordan243]

I’m completely in agreement about rolling or brushing on the finish. Spray is ok for smoother surfaces, but on cast pieces it’s always good to get bristles down into the texture.

[@aticuss]

Top five most beautiful vise, excellent job.

[@simonnordberg162]

I recently restored a Heuer Primus myself. Though mine is the number 3, so it's a bit smaller than your number 5. I really love the design where the front is fixed and the back moves. The bearing surprised me as I've never seen built in bearings before. I used a similar color hammerite too. Anyway, just wanted you to know that your vise has a newly restored smaller cousin here in Sweden! 😁

[@FotografieFlorianKrammel]

I love your vise video mate! Very well done. HEUER vices are so solid and they last forever if someone does such a restoration every 50 years :) I did mine the same way just two weeks ago. Mine is a HEUER FRONT, a little different construction but almost the same. Don't know if you know: The screw which is is the rear part of the vice is for adjusting the play of the two parts and as I saw in the end, yours seems to be to loose. You can adjust it by tightening that screw and it will no more tilt and will get very smooth.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks for information. 👍

Not sure about scam he dose a decent restoration, has a similar sounding name yes , but have you noticed all the cars on the road look similar, 100s of versions of the Fender Stratocaster ect not much new out there, and he doesn’t make a new one,

[@JohnSmith-wj2wd]

@@billy123174 Except car manufacturers have armies of lawyers to defend themselves against plagiarism. Something KZbin channels do not. He literally ripped off the chain silhouette from the My Mechanics logo, replicated the My Mechanics thumbnails, chose a similar looking background, and literally translated "My Mechanics" to German. If he spent all that effort on piggy backing on the succes of My Mechanics elsewhere, this would actually be a good channel I reckon, because he clearly has some knowhow on restoring things it seems. Just a shame that this is all built on the premise of acting like you're someone else. And that, I think is tasteless.

Wow, freaking beautiful mate! Makes me want to find my grandfather's old vise and restore it too. You've given me so many ideas on that subject.

You have talent. Keep up the great work. Don’t listen to all those people commenting about copying “My Mechanic.” Mimicry is a form of flattery. Just look at how Apple made the first flat-screen phone; then everybody copied Apple. Yeti Coolers came out with a root-molded cooler that was superior to all the blow-molded cooler designs. Within 3 years there were 10 other cooler brands also making root-molded coolers. The whole world is made up of copying and improving upon an idea or a style. You, sir, are an artist, a perfectionist, and that’s all that matters. Keep up the great work!
