360° PanaVise Restoration - Made In USA 1956

[@Joker_68]

Wow! That vise was manufactured in a neighboring town of mine called South Gate, here in the great state of California. That is so awesome.

[@RestoreIt]

I knew it was the USA and I knew it was in Cali, but I didn't know that! Cheers, Joker!

[@Gilly14]

Wow indeed! I grew up 3 miles from there in the city of Downey. Just knowing that something manufactured in the city of South Gate is now all the way in the UK is awesome.

[@autobot513]

Never knew there was such a thing as a PanaVise. Very impressive restoration. Well done!

[@RestoreIt]

Neither did I until I came across one. I knew i had to have one, super handy! Oh, and thank you!

[@tinman7551]

I’ve always wanted one of these vices 😊

[@RestoreIt]

They are such handy things! I think I'll get good use out of this one.

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

I love your small restorations sir, well done i must say. 🔥👍🔥

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you, Lion! Much appreciated.

@@RestoreIt My favorite is that YALE LIFT TRUCK. That restoration is a "how-to" for restoring anything. 😎

[@MASI_forging]

What a great transformation 👍👍

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks!

[@michaelskinner896]

Nicely reworked! That vise was made the same year I was born, haha. And for the life of me, I don't understand why I haven't purchased one yet!

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you, MIchael! I couldn't recommend one enough! Definitely get one, new or old, they're still going to this day!

I'd never known of these, but then in one day, you restore this one, and Pask Makes builds one from scratch! 😅😂

Love the restoration video! And your bmw build!

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks Buffalo, glad you're enjoying it!

[@garymucher4082]

Very nice refurbishing project. And while not one piece was powder coated, the finish looks very proper for that vice... Thumbs Up!

[@RestoreIt]

Cheers, Gary! I am now powder coating behind the scenes and have been for a while. A few coming projects will be powder coated. Can't wait to share!

[@datsunruss]

Nice job - think i would have went with Nylon for the soft jaws though..

[@RestoreIt]

I think that's what the originals were, so you're right!

[@KH102695]

I had one of those years ago, incredibly useful tool. South Gate at one time had many aerospace and other large manufacturing factories in Los Angeles County. Great restoration!! That hammered green paint is awesome.

[@RestoreIt]

Good to know! I think I'll get a lot of use out of this one in the years to come. I love that it was made in California, very cool. Thanks a lot, KH! I also absolutely love the hammered paint, it looks so nice.

[@DrMJJr]

Steven, I DO miss these old type videos…you’re STILL a goddamned magician!!!🔥🔥

[@RestoreIt]

Many thanks as always Micheal! And don't worry! Lots more of these to come once the Touring is finished!

[@andli461]

That would make a great vise for a Jewler, or someone who works on small stuff and needs flexibility in their vise! Great job!

Very neat soldering vice

I think this is the first YT video with sandblasting that the gloves in the tank aren't about to totally crumble apart, nice restoration!

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks Steev! If I didn't have pro gloves, this pressure cabinet would literally blast a hole in my hand/finger, its crazy compared to my old one... Very fast though :D

[@digitalradiohacker]

You're fixing to end up on one of those 1hr "work fails" videos if you wear that flappy shirt in front of the wire wheel. Coveralls man!

Very true! I'll be careful!

Cant go wrong with green Hammerschlag Lack on tools like this. Looks great. I also like that you did not removed the casting traces

I like those tables, and the prices aren’t bad either. The basics one is $309.99. Btw I have nothing to do with company in any way shape or form.

[@RestoreIt]

I was shocked at the quality, they're so good!

[@iteerrex8166]

@@RestoreIt The quality has to be great to carry 355 pounds. And usually when they add a little bit of technology into something, suddenly the price goes quadruple, but these guys are not ripping people off.

That vice would have been super useful for restoring that vice.

[@RestoreIt]

Haha, very true!

Thanks for the support Pazzy! It would be called sand blasting, if I were using sand, but I'm not :D

[@pazzy4501]

@RestoreIt Any time mate, it's called "sand blasting" in general, regardless of the media you are using, you do have a good one indeed, BTW where is your work shop in the UK?!! keep on 👍🏻

[@tattooedredheadx]

I would have gone with HDPE jaws but you do you. PTFE can sometime be "too" soft.

[@RestoreIt]

I've not heard of that stuff before, I'll look into it, cheers!

[@misterdeedeedee]

also slippery i would imagine since ptfe = teflon

[@tattooedredheadx]

@@RestoreIt HDPE is commonly known as “cutting board material”. 😅

[@Stefan_Van_pellicom]

I bought one of these as a young boy around 1977, and still use it today one a weekly basis … Mine hase the vacuum base though. You did a beautiful job on this bit of kit, but I don’t like the color. These tools are supposed to be grey. 💁🏻‍♂️

[@RestoreIt]

Oh wow! They really do last a lifetime! I was going to go grey, but this one was green and I've seen quite a few of the first ones in this colour. Maybe it was a UK only thing, I'm not sure.

No, they were white. They came in three different types.

[@jimleon7894]

I prefer narration overASMR

[@RestoreIt]

Thanks for the feedback, Jim!

[@thewatcher6794]

It's not called Shot Blasting, it's called Sand Blasting because the material originally used was sand and over the years they have developed other materials (media) that can be used for harder or softer surfaces and for different techniques

[@BuffaloBillsSon]

Second!

[@bone0944]

The finished restoration looks very nice and deserves praise. However some of the engineering practices you use leave a lot to desire. Using any rotating power tool must be done with safety in mind. Standing so close with a loose rag in you hand to a spinning buffer, wire wheel, or bench grinder is asking for an accident to happen. Grease the threads on the rod not into the captive nut to avoid hydraulicing. Always prime and undercoat before using top coat when painting. Hope these few pieces of advice help.

[@liamfoxy]

What are the chances?! PaskMakes just uploaded a vid where he recreated one of these because he couldn't find one to buy used. (Brilliant watch btw, would highly recommend checking him out). I never knew this type of vice existed, and now I've seen 2 vids on it in a week

[@RestoreIt]

Strange how that happens isn't it. I've seen his vid. Very, very cool. Cheers!

[@patertuus8]

11:43 Considering how slippery PTFE is, why would you use that as vice jaws? Do you mean HDPE?

[@alkharee1st]

Well.. compared to My Mechanic channel... you only use some hand tools... no lathe etc. But, the result is awesome.

[@RestoreIt]

I'm in between lathes at the moment, which is why I improvised one, but I will have a new one soon! Thanks for the feedback!

[@kevinnathanson6876]

Stream of consciousness comment: NEVER stand close to a rotating buffer, (or a rotating anything-else for that matter) with a rag in your hands. Things can go VERY badly in just an instant! OK, back to watching....

[@RestoreIt]

Haha, cheers, Kevin. Wise words.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]
