1971 American Pipe Vise Restoration - Restoration Videos

[@themanfromdystopia807]

Had exactly the same pipe vice in my old workshop, although I preferred to use the chain vice as it gripped better without burring the pipe too much. Fantastic restoration, I'm sure they didn't leave the factory with such quality finishing!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks a lot

[@CreatorTips.007]

Very interesting video

[@AlMeans]

This pipe vice went from (probably) functional to a work of art and a thing of beauty. I enjoyed the restoration.

[@meinemechaniker]

I'm glad you liked it.

[@EnchantedGardenTools]

There are so many fake restoration channels out there, and I feel lucky to have discovered yours. You’ve truly shown me what genuine artistry looks like.

[@meinemechaniker]

Well come 🙏🏻

[@DemonicDragonX5]

I have consistently been growing more and more suspicious of the idea that you and My Mechanics are just the same guy... 😂

[@meinemechaniker]

:=)

[@medicbabe2ID]

Same outrageous, galactic level of mechanical knowledge and skill. "I make another"

[@gino3006]

My mechanics would never unnecessarily wear gloves😂their names are suspicious tho

[@rebeccasarson4]

Came here for this comment 😂 reckon the gloves are so people can’t compare hands 🤔

[@tbone-d2v]

I believe it’s his dad

[@tmtltn]

This guy deserves at least 1 million subs.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you, I hope in time

[@snowstrobe]

I'll never not be dazzled by the artistry of these restorations.

[@gaterunner64]

This guys work is really something else. I don't know if I want to call it high level craftsmanship or art. Every piece he does looks like it could sit in a gallery. He has ruined other DIY channels!

[@dave3156]

Always a good day when you have a new video out. Workmanship is incredible. Thanks for sharing your talents!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much Dave

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Some will say it now looks better than when new. Those people are correct. It's a piece of art, worthy to be on display at The Louvre. 👍👍👍

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@ibbobo5162]

one of your best, MM. As ever, a tribute to your skills but also to the people who designed and manufactured these excellent devices.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much

[@philipr.6090]

I know some people complain at times that your work doesn't always match everyone's concept of a "restoration," but I think it is something just as important -- perhaps what could be called a "masterwork transformation," an attempt to reach the ideal that was only approached by the original object or machine. Magnificent work.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@roo3534]

There’s so many fake restoration channels out there that I am blessed to have found yours. You’ve shown me what real artistry is.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@Rickbearcat]

He is not "restoring" anything here. He is repairing. It is misleading. Think about it. I am not at all saying that his "repairs" are bad; not in the slightest. All I am saying is that he thinks he's restoring when, in fact, that is not the case. Anytime you have or want to make a new part you lose the moniker of restoration. It is no longer original.

[@pofrof4910]

One thing I believe, some pieces were made. The rest is all doubts. The author made the piece rustier (easy for these guys make it). Did he bend some surfaces? Hammered it or applied heat to bend it easier? I don't know if he is the person doing the new pieces, he never shows his face. With so many scam videos, each day is harder to believe in really and true restorations, thanks to the scammers.

[@Nomzai]

Lol he ripped off the entire style of video, name and logo from the My Mechanics channel.

[@Rickbearcat]

@@Nomzai ...I am unsure of the age of his channel, but I would tend to agree with you if this channel is younger.

[@jimstegemeyer2808]

Great work by a master craftsman. Thanks!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks Jim

[@rembtz83]

Very detailed and very clean restauration! Great video, cut and editing, too! 👍

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@paulwalsh2458]

Nice, made in sweet home Pennsylvania. Right around the time I was too.

[@meinemechaniker]

🙏🏻thanks sir

[@doylerabjohn3435]

That came out good, I saw it was made in 1971.....one year younger than me. If only I could be restored as well as those tools. Excellent work.

[@meinemechaniker]

you are still new, best regards sir

[@johnwallace596]

I’m a ‘73 product and I said the same thing!!

[@cherry.cat.]

Admiro muchísimo tu trabajo. Y una de las cosas que más me gusta es que, a diferencia de otros restauradores, mantienes tu espacio ordenado y tus herramientas impecables. Un placer ver tus videos!

[@meinemechaniker]

You are sensitive and meticulous enough to see some details. Thank you.

[@anthonydtobias]

So, One thing I really like about your channel is that it's genuine... I see a lot of restoration videos where the person clearly made the piece they are restoring way worse just to make a video. It's very cheesy to me. Please don't ever do that! I'd rather not see a video and wait a while than see a bunch of videos that were clearly staged just to make a video. Don't ever change!!! Love your channel.... My interest is woodworking videos but your channel is really wonderful to watch!

[@meinemechaniker]

I have paid attention to what you said for 5 years and in my 40 projects. By the way, it is a pleasure to see people like you who know what they want.

[@samuelfellows6923]

What you are referring to are the “fraudsters” who only want us to watch the adverts in their video and not what they are committing fraud with 😠, this restorer is genuine 🤗

[@rons8900]

The work and pride of a Renaissance Guild craftsman shows in every restoration you do.

[@meinemechaniker]

[@gaterunner64]

I agree. This is more than just high level craftsmanship, this guy is an artist. He has directly influenced me with his eye for detail.

[@vrod665]

Thanks for the new video! Awesome job as always. Until now I have never yelled at a KZbin workshop video. When you were cleaning up the jaws, I started saying “you better not blue them. They better get plated.!” Thankfully all is well - the jaws are plated and my blood pressure is down.

[@meinemechaniker]

It's nice to be of the same opinion as you.

[@haroldcraver9697]

Itd nice to have all the tools to do that not cost affective but great work and its a nice show pice great video

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks sir

[@dreadfultwerp]

I was so excited to get on KZbin and see a new video from you! I love how your stuff is so shiny you have to blur your reflection in it. Amazing job! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much

[@aoinatafanboy84]

Yeah, I was concerned at first and thought it was for fear of being demonetized because he was squeezing them in the vice. It took me longer than it needed to realize it was the reflection.

[@andreskruusimae6136]

WOAU! This was like magic! Absolutely amazing work!!!

When I first discovered Meine Mechanicher's channel, I tought it was another channel of My Mechanics. I'm glad these are from different people as both channels shows great craftmanchip and talent in restauration.

[@JamesNichols1]

​@@LelianWeatherwax, me too, I totally assumed he had two channels!

Lovely work, as usual. Man, after you bought that beautiful vintage car you just forgot us, yours long term fans.

I'm not him, I guess there was confusion. And as for that car. I think he got into trouble.

[@ElcioThenorio]

Yes, I messed up! Sorry for that. But you too are great, the perfectionism of you both (besides the similar name) confused me. Congratulations from Minas Gerais and do not disappear, as he did. : )

[@BB_Chaptsick]

There was so much the do with that vice. That must’ve taken an incredible amount of time to restore. But, you cease to surprise. Beautiful job. I briefly thought there would be a problem when you started hammering on the heated casting to re-round the base. But, everything worked out. See you on the next project.

[@meinemechaniker]

thanks. This product is cast steel. so you don't need to worry. I'm glad you liked it.

[@kyleallen22]

Have to stop calling yourself a mechanic and start callijg yourself a necromancer the way you bring these things back to life. P.s. the red looks absolutely amazing

[@meinemechaniker]

Iphone 😅There is a lot of grain but. Thanks Bruce

[@electrickal1]

Nice finish, but why did you pop a bolt into the hook side of the pipe vice? When I was an apprentice electrician we used to cut threads onto steel conduit and screw it together (I hear the young ones gasping, oh no hard work!!) and that hook end was always free to hook and unhook to hold and release the pipes.

[@meinemechaniker]

What you describe makes sense for a quick move. but when I do it it makes sense for slow motion. In short, both are correct.

[@iwb316]

And having the two holes was so you could have either left or right hand opening.

[@electrickal1]

I'm not sure you understand, the hook is on one side of the vise and will either facilitate the use of the hook or will just lock the head in place. It cannot be changed for left or right handed use.@@iwb316

[@John_in_da_UP]

Even the very first photo shows there's no bolt next to the hook and one is never needed.

Going to drive somebody nuts trying to use it that way​!
