Coachmakers Vise ~ RESTORATION ~ A PERFECT vise for your She Shed

[@SalvageWorkshop]

What are your thoughts on larger Restoration projects with MULTIPLE videos? Do you like how smaller restorations start AND finish, all in one video? Do you dislike having to wait for the next part? Or would the complexity of MASSIVE machines offset all of that? I'm planning to start one of my larger projects soon, and wanted your opinion!

[@sethbracken]

Bigger is better, right?

[@wadestewart9891]

Smaller projects are good in one video,I think bigger ones almost always need 2 or more smaller videos so some people don't get bored, my self if I start dating a video I stay till the end its only fair to you for all your time and effort to produce said videos .so thank you for your honest hard work

[@billhenshall2380]

I enjoyed the air compressor, if your projects are that sized, multiple is better. If you’re doing vises and such one is good. Change it up and vary your content and you’ll keep us all interested. For what it’s worth.......

[@dennisbosworth3665]

Small restoration projects with one video, and more than one video for larger projects ... it's all good. I don't think you want to make one very long video as viewer life's interruptions will commonly leave your work half watched.

[@robbenge9914]

For me 20 or 30mins is great whether one project or multiple parts of one large one. The wait is always rewarded with your fine efforts. Thank you and love the weim's ,their beautiful dogs.

[@rayscrafield2106]

Your dogs and the love shown are spectacular. Thanks for all your work and for including the dogs. Love animals. All kinds.

[@stephen0106]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that he primered the whole thing. Alot of channels dont do that. And that's why I'm here

[@Bannimann2]

You really don't need to prime it if you're using self etching paint, like "Hammerite Direct To Rust" or comparable kind of products. :)

[@stephen0106]

@@Bannimann2 not the point. The point is he goes beyond. Cast iron repair.... he doesnt shy

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you Stephen! I don't cut corners on ANY of my projects! Plus whether primer is "needed" or not, doesn't matter, it smooths out minor imperfections, and makes the finished paint job much nicer!! Beautiful yet fully functional end results are what I'm ALWAYS after! Lots more of those to come!

[@FastEddy5]

Yes they do

[@paulrward]

No tool should EVER be abused and abandoned, especially one with the magic words, " MADE IN USA " on it ! Thank you for your care and dedication !

[@slackjaw703]

Love your videos! Absolutely fantastic job restoring this beautiful old vice. Love the color choices. Your pups are killer. I’ve always wanted a Weimaraner. They really need more exercise than u can give them right now. I just lost my last pup. He was a beautiful border collie/Dalmatian mix, and had the mist amazing ice blue eyes. I envy you. Hopefully I’ll be able to get another dog some day, but until then it’s great to watch yours. Thanks for sharing them, as well as your beautiful restorations!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Much appreciated John! I also really enjoy how it turned out! I wasn't sure for a short minute! Weims are the best breed, but I am a bit BIASED! lol... I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and our pups! Lots more of BOTH to come!

[@thomasthompson6799]

I'm fairly sure this is the first teal vise with gold accents I have ever seen. Should be a perfect addition to the fantasy workshop for making carriages for princesses. Excellent work!

[@woodreaux]

I just picked up a Charles Parker 674-1/2, which they advertised as a Woodworkers vise. I'm gearing up for a restoration. First challenge is getting the swivel base set screw broken free from some serious rust. Enjoyed the video.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

That is AWESOME Jim! That's an awesome vise! I've seen some of those old ads, and they DO call it a woodworking vise! Most people today wouldn't believe it if I tried to convince them of it! Good Luck with the restoration, I'd love to see it! My email is in the about section of my youtube page if you'd like to show me!

[@waynecox5138]

Wonderful. I like interesting and useful restores. Some warrant multiple videos and some are simpler.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you Wayne! I appreciate the feedback, and MANY of my larger projects will DEFINITELY be multipart videos! I just need to find a way to keep people interested!

[@waynecox5138]

One of the things I like is seeing how you approach solving different restoration issues. It would be nice to see some shots of the specialty tools that you used in the project. Perhaps laid out like the project before assembly. Often I see something useful I’ve not seen before. I would also suggest mixing in some additional projects where you build useful things.

[@WrenB111]

Made in Athol Massachusetts, aka "Tool town". Athol and much of Connecticut and Massachusetts used to be an industrial powerhouse. Now, nothing. All service sector or fast food jobs. We sold our souls to China for cheap stuff. Thanks for bringing this old tool back to life

[@glennmoreland6457]

It's outrageous isn't it... Here in the UK we had Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow areas...all Industrial giants back in't day... 🇬🇧😕

[@Makete100]

On a really big project I wouldn't mind 3, 4 or more videos. I you loose the way the project got to where it is we can always watch the one before. I like the way you are editing the vids and the time laps are usually funny and fun to watch. Small projects, if there is a lot of detail could be one or more videos. Right now I'm kind cooped up in the house so I have to say, can't get enough. Thanks for all you do to entertain us.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I appreciate your feedback on that! My worry is that series videos tend to get less and less views as the project progresses, and my hope it to find a way to change that! I have some MASSIVE projects planned, and they will definitely be at least 4 part videos! Way too much work for them to be anything less! I appreciate you watching & commenting, so it works out great for both of us!

[@graemecorpe7973]

Wonderful restoration. Fantastic colour ...... Rarely do I watch these from start to finish ....... I did watch the entire video with great interest. Thank you ☺️

[@AnthonyCurreri]

A little tip on opening cans with metal lids. The small hole in each tab is for a screwdriver. Put the screwdriver in the small hole and pry back with it. It will lift the tab right up!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Good Tip! I don't open many metal buckets, they are becoming less and less common! Now I know for next time!

[@Blaze_1961]

That's not a tip....It's a how to.

[@DaleDix]

@@Blaze_1961 a better way to take off the lid is a tip. A how to would be when it hasn't been achieved.

[@davidzamora4423]

I started watching your videos just this week. I find them very interesting. I used to work where they sand blasting pistons. That was my job. I do miss it sometimes.

[@rickymccafferty7840]

Heck yeah! My heart stopped when I saw this video. I recently inherited a Reed Coach Makers Vise in excellent condition. Still has the original paint! The jaws are not chipped or damaged. The only problem is the handle is bent. I’d like to slap some sense into whoever did that. Great vid! Glad to see more of these vises out there!

[@shellyskye527]

This is a beautiful piece of work. In fact, the vice is so beautiful I’d probably hesitate to use it!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you Shelly! I have been having the same EXACT thought about this one!

[@Madshadowgolem]

Machinists vice, the little anvil bit on the back is usually how to tell. Pattern makers vice is a woodworking vice. Also woodworking vices have wood on the jaws or are mostly made of wood. Metal will mark or damage wood too easily for most applications and you generally want to clamp a larger area of wood to reduce marking and improve holding. All that being said, very nice restore!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

You should look at some old vise ads from the turn of century! There are / were SO many different types of vises, and I'm sorry to say but your generalizations are may be true to a degree, but not regarding ALL vises especially from the time period this vise was made! All that being said, thanks!

[@Madshadowgolem]

@@SalvageWorkshop I'll encourage you to Google Pattern Makers Vise and show images. They are awesome vises and great examples and engineering. But... they are all designed for wood lined jaws. And what makes a Vise a pattern making vise traditionally is partly that the jaws can pivot to hold non-parallel work. You will find the term abused in advertising as they were considered the best of the best at the time they were used and so those trying to sell to the under-educated would use the term as a sales point. Much like "hand made" and "made by hand" take a beating in modern times. Don't even get me started on "Genuine Leather" (the charlitans). Anyway, patterns would be made out of wood initially since it was easy to shape but it would be important that the surface remain undamaged as any mark would transfer to the casting.

[@alluchterhand746]

Love it all! It’s satisfying on the reveal of the letter and number markings from our advantage so we know you dig it as well. Keep up the great work.

[@marty01957]

Great job, Matt! Nice looking vice! Love seeing the doggies! They are so happy!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thanks Martin! Weims are always happy and want to be RIGHT there!

[@nakamakai5553]

Against the flow - the dogs at the end were a hit. Your command voice and control of the play were excellent. If more of us trained our dogs to behave like this, there would be more happy dogs and humans. Well done.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you my friend!

[@mftmachining]

U turned this into a real beauty.....top.job, man

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you my friend! I completely agree!

[@IR-nq4qv]

You're getting better with the videos, good job young man. I wasn't sure on the paint but when it was finished it looked new and pretty much period correct, a job well done. Word of advice, the holes in the tabs on the solvent bucket lid are there for a reason, use a flat top screw driver, just place the tip of the screwdriver in the hole, screwdriver against the lip and bend the tabs back, you close it the same way to seal it without bending up the lid.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you! All I can do is learn as I go! I wasn't too sure on the color at first either, but once it was finished, I LOVED it! I didn't know that about the buckets, I dont know the last time I opened a new metal bucket! Now I know for next time, thank you!

[@IR-nq4qv]

No worries, we all learned from someone else, knowledge and education is a shared thing. Cheers

[@brianmcguire5005]

Awesome man! And I think the multiply part series are great. When you did the air compressor I think I was waiting for the next one. I’m sure many others were also. As long as you mix the larger projects in with some smaller projects I bet it would go over great!! How has the shop been since you reorganized it?

[@brianmcguire5005]

Also real quick, you being a fellow tool hoarder/ collector lol, I am looking for a Stanley no. 2 bench plane. Just a complete one. Rust and condition can vary. I’d like to restore it. But if you could keep an eye out for me I’d appreciate it. I would pay you for it obviously but if you happen to come across one for a good deal. Thanks!!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@brianmcguire5005 I have a TON of planes, and MOST need restoration, but the way the channel is going, I'm not sure if I will restore one as a video or not, but I'll NEVER do them all on the channel. I would be happy to see what I have. I also know of another place that I'm trying to get back into that has like another 15-20 old planes just rotting away! I plan to get them ALL! I'll let you know what I find!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@brianmcguire5005 I appreciate that! I agree big projects mixed in with smaller ones is the plan, but I will say that the big ones take their toll on me, because It's just me! So it's nice to do a few smaller ones after finishing larger projects! So far the shop has been great, but I never FULLY got it finished. Plus (as always) I brought in more machines (you'll see), and so It can a bit tight, but I'm used to it!

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

Your work on tool restoration and your knowledge about their origins and use is a valuable asset. I was wondering if you have thought about finding sponsors in your community who would support a “tool museum” that could serve as an education and learning center for kids who might want to enter the trades, go into fields like engineering or design, or simply offer to the public an interesting view and perspective into the past. Great job as always.

Another winner. When I found you, you were building a trap door in a deck #3, so I went back to watch all the others first. I was impressed with your attention to detail and the perfection of your work. Yes you are a good carpenter so let's subscribe and watch him build some more. Yell you rebuild a bulldog and take him for a walk. Next you're restoring a vice for your wife's sewing room. The problem was, what is a carpenter doing calling his site something else, now I think I know. Question, how far did you and bulldog walk that first time. Agin your work is superb, enjoy watching.

Enjoyed the "restoration" right up to the point you tied to make it more aesthetically pleasing then how it would have been originally as a general rule i only repair peices tht have broke and dont change any casting defects unless absolutely necessary

Fair enough! Everyone has their preferences! Ya know, I have heard that from MANY people over the years, but If you really think about it, the way it was "originally" was fairly unfinished... Now the reason for that was because these were tools that were NOT designed to be overly beautiful as much as they were designed to do a specific job, and the work it would have taken to clean up EVERY casting was just not worth it! When I clean up the casting imperfections on an old tool like this, my goal is to make it the BEST example of that old tool out there today! Maybe It'll even get someone who may not have been interested in saving old tools to take interest, who knows! I totally understand leaving things as original as possible! I have thousands upon thousands of pounds of cast iron machinery that is completely original, and I also like it that way, but sometimes I enjoy bringing out the beauty that always COULD have been!

I actually agree on this one... not sure what the plan will be!
