HUGE German Goliath 150mm Vise Restoration - Protect tools

In this video I again protect tools that didnt age the way they deserved. This time I restore an old and huge german goliath vise. The antique tool is a Goliath 150 and was preowned by a hobby blacksmith.
I got it for 20€ on eBay. I need the vise restoration for future projects.
Mid restoration I realized, that the vise was never the very best quality, the cast was very inaccurat and it probably wasnt post-processed after casting.
Thats why I decided, that I have to make this vise extra special. It needed as much attention as possible. The whole process took me a approx. a week. But I had to wait for some parts for much more time.
So I'm happy the project is done and the video is ready. I hope you enjoy my content.

A beautiful finished item. I have restored many engineers vices over the years, but never to this standard. Unless, like yours, the tool is to be used as a display item I have never seen the need to remove casting marks, use filler to get a really smooth finish or polish any parts. It is a working tool and these usually lead a hard life and receive quite a battering over the years. I usually clean off the rust, make sure that the sliding parts are in good condition and then slap on a coat of Hammerite paint to finish. I mostly use a Record No.2 vice that I bought second-hand and restored 55 years ago and it still serves me well.

[@NTRprojects]

As I mention in the video, there is totally no need to do this kind of finish. But if I want to highlight the design from this era without compromising on function.. I think its a legit approach :) Thank you for your kind comment

[@TheAnto7A]

The restorations channel is focusing on perfection, this is for entertainment and standard on KZbin is increasing day by day... everything’s started with my mechanics, mr patina and other crazy perfectionist... and this channel is at this level... and it works because quality over quantity is the mission!

[@dumpsterfire6351]

Def remove casting marks…and finish the way you enjoy. Cheers! 🍻

[@misterpatina]

You sir, did a very nice job! Keep it up!

[@NTRprojects]

Coming from you, it means a lot to me. Thank you!!!

[@misterpatina]

❤️

[@saskia4139]

I love the color and I love your work! I am just a woman, relaxing by watching your videos. And knitting by watching. Ich mag das Blau total, es ist der Hammer! Ich kann mich bei den Videos total entspannen und stricken. Danke!

[@afrayedknott1701]

Very well done! The plates you had made were a nice touch. Maybe leave your subtitles up just a bit longer for us older folks. Great job!

[@NTRprojects]

Ok thanks for the feedback! I try to leave longer subs a little longer

[@patjohnson3100]

Wonderful restoration. This vice looks too beautiful to use. Color is great. When your girlfriend sees how nice this vise looks, she will be proud that her baking plan was part of a very successful project. Regards from the USA.

[@xxCashMan12xx]

From 9gag, you did a great job! Love the look. You gave me an idea for a restoration I'm doing. Thanks!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you James, but you made me quite curious about your project. What are you working on and what Gabe you an idea?

[@xxCashMan12xx]

@@NTRprojects I'm working on restoring an '81 Honda CX500C motorcycle. The idea you gave me was for painting the plastic pieces on the bike but also not being afraid the be rough with it and alter it if it's gonna look better. Like you did when you filed down the sides of the clamps to make them even.

[@darylw.schreiner2296]

Very impressive! The fact that you did it with out expensive equipment is amazing.

[@qwerrweterterhrhry]

Birds chirping in the background was a nice touch))

[@MagikarpBeast]

You seem very knowledgable and relatively well equipped already, so that workshop will probably come along sooner than you think.

[@joannaatkins822]

Not bad at all, you did an excellent job polishing the steel. I'll be honest, many people have a real issue getting a good finish but you nailed it!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Joanna. I learned a lot lately about polishing, so I hop future vids show even better results

[@curtiscraven9220]

This made me so happy. Reminded me of my Dad. Eye water came. Thank you from Virginia.

[@rlm98253]

Greetings from Whidbey Island, Washington State, USA. Another not terrible restoration. Actually, it was a great restoration. The color is perfect and it is set off by the highly polished surfaces and the blued surfaces. Well done, sir. You've earned a new subscriber.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you for your kind feedback. Greetings back to Washington from Germany

[@gromit1996]

Beauty color. It's like restoring a vise is the rite of passage for the KZbin restorer. :)

[@user-od9pj3vq8y]

19 min video with no ads! You are literally jesus!

[@itcouldbewill]

me restoring my tools: oh i'll just brush the rust off, oil it a bit this man: full disassembly, scratch removal, new parts manufactured, everything re-aligned, AND a paint job beautiful ultramarine color by the way, puts me at ease seeing someone do every step of this perfectly. a true restoration master.

[@NTRprojects]

:D:D:D Thanks Will. Just found this comment

[@lorenzlaubach3505]

Nicht schlecht

[@NTRprojects]

So solls sein

[@inkenhafner7187]

Beautiful. And I bet it's smiling at you every time you enter your workshop.

[@lottavernix]

I am a big fan of this format with no music keep up the good work sir.

[@humancattoy7767]

You are just showing a new shop mate that it's good to look and feel better than new.

[@NTRprojects]

I use it whenever I'm in the workshop, but I take great care of it, because I also really like how it turned out

[@markglessner2886]

I support that you did a sane and sensible restoration.

[@williamlott7612]

I drank a lot of Peroni during my US Navy career. Not the best beer I’ve ever had but drinkable and cheap, two important things for a young sailor. Beautiful job on the vise. Darlington, South Carolina USA

[@NTRprojects]

I think that's not an unusual rating scale for a beer 🍻👍

[@Shooter4547]

I’ve watched practically every Vise resto on YT . . . this one is at the top. Very nice. 👍

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much Scott!

[@jettech1041]

Beautiful job! Love the color and polished parts! You took the ugly out of her with an awesome spa treatment! 💎👌🦾

[@NTRprojects]

I always say: "We need more spas for vices and other tools" Thank you!

[@nickblakemore3643]

MAN THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING. THE COMBINATION OF THE NIGHT BLUE PAINT, BLUED STEEL AND POLISHED STEEL IS BEAUTIFUL. IMAGINE RETURNING THIS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL BLACKSMITH YOU MENTIONED. THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WOULD BE PRICELESS. GREAT JOB BRO.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much nick. Really appreciate your enthusiasm. Im really happy too

[@falcaossf1965]

Very nice and professional. Restored pieces are hard to put back in use, they get better than new ones.

[@NTRprojects]

Yes they are!

[@Pleiades1432]

I'm a simple man - I see sandblasting, I upvote!

[@gabocinematic2612]

Came from the land of virgins, I like the silent vibe its calming.

[@SirEdroK]

I never thought I’d say a tool was beautiful…. But this one truly is!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you ECo

[@expatmoose]

Homeless spider 4.47 minutes🤣🤣🤣 Gute Arbeit 👏🏻 klasse

[@NTRprojects]

That's the downside of the job. I do make a lot of spideys homeless.

[@JayHutchG]

Brilliant! I cringed when you decided on blue finish, but that cobalt blue turned out great. A new life for old quality tools is something we can all be proud of. They will outlive us for sure.

[@Anmobgoccult20]

Well done, without words, for such precise work and craftsmanship, the great German quality, one can only bow down, respect from old BG.

[@zoiders]

Its nice to see a genuinely old vice and not the ones you see on other "restoration" channels that are covered in bright orange surface rust because they buried it in the garden with some salt 2 weeks ago after ordering it from Amazon.

[@NTRprojects]

I think it belonged to a blacksmith once

[@0leGio]

9gag army love! let's get this talented man to at least 1000 subscribers! *APES TOGETHER STRONG*

[@robertcolfack26]

One of the nicest restoration I have ever seen it looks too nice to use now it's a work of art.....

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much robert, I hope you like my new restoration as well. Best regards

[@faQall]

I had no idea I like restorations until now. Good job 👍🏻

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Unbelievable! If I had not watched I wouldn't believe it's the same vice. Love that color too. It looks great in your new shop. Thanks for saving that good old piece, something of that quality deserves to be rescued and made to look better than it ever did. Fine work doc!!

[@cecilgore495]

Wish I could sit down an have a beer with you and discuss your work. Have a great day.

[@mattg6262]

Gotta say, that is some impressive commitment to the hand file. I could not spend hours doing it.

[@NTRprojects]

Really appreciated thank you Matt

[@robbenge9914]

Good on you for doing a lovely restoration despite not having a workshop, you will get to having a workshop as you seem passionate about your work. We all start somewhere. Greetings from Perth, West Australia.

[@carlmcgee1623]

Worth more than several bars of platinum. Excellant work !

[@-Deena.]

I cried at the end😢...awww. Happy vise is now loved! 🧡

[@NTRprojects]

Oh yes indeed he is loved

[@kyfho47]

After having seen the vise in use in later videos, it was nice to come back to see it restoration. Nice work!

[@marcuscicero9587]

no cracks. man you got a top shelf piece of equipment there. I got a big old Reed from a buddy of mine a year ago when his pa passed away and he was cleaning his dad's house to sell it. Cleaned it up real good and had to make a new handle. Knew his dad and now have something real nice to remember him with.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you for sharing Marcus. Sounds lovely what you did!

[@peterdreyer3025]

Watching all the way from South Africa. Thanks 9gag! Great job bro. Keep up the good work.

[@NTRprojects]

Niceeeeeeee. Greetings from Germany

[@noodlztheory]

Hey shot me too, from 9gag, and South Africa......

[@chrishemke3233]

Well done. Think I would have gone with hammer tone paint, but my last big vice was exactly that blue! Nice job.

[@rachmadanirachmadani1548]

Brand new life for it...excellent job..👍

[@NTRprojects]

Yes and it is very helpful to finally work with a vise. I like it very much

[@karencary3312]

Great job and awesome to look at.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Karen.

[@larrygeorge3599]

That's a good look nice job

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Larry

[@michaelszabo3071]

I thought I was the only person in the world that had a one clawed hammer 😂. My brother 💪. Great job as always good sir. Love all of your content!! 🫡👏👏

[@budmartin8297]

I love the blue color and the paint job is great.

[@M_to_the_T]

Sehr sehr geil... Man sieht hier gut, dass ein Exzenterschleifer nur bedingt geeignet ist, weil er immer runde Kanten hinterlässt. Spielt hier aber technisch keine Geige und das Ergebnis ist richtig gut 👍 Besonders mag ich das Spachteln der Oberfläche.

[@NTRprojects]

Hey M T. super das es dir so gefällt. Gute Einwand zum Exzenterschleifer!

[@shawnataylor7998]

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks again Shawna. I'm glad you liked it and watched two vids in a row 😊

[@rlm98253]

Exceptionally well done, sir.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you kindly!

[@ls901]

Beautiful result. I'd have chosen a bloodish red to paint it.

[@michelledaavettila470]

Simply amazing! Thank you, for preserving the restoration process for us to enjoy!

[@iraqisonic9920]

A new joint in the channel from Iraq and I love your work

[@ibbobo5162]

what a wonderful tool - fantastic restoration - a tribute the workers who designed, made and used these items.

[@NoHobbes]

Gorgeous, who knew I could loveba vice so much??

[@suitov]

I hope the previous owner saw this. Imagine a tool you used for years getting this much loving attention. I'd be very happy!

[@LadyLeigh]

I hope you have your workshop by now. I am watching your videos out of order but love them so much I wanted to start at the beginning! I hope you bought your girlfriend a new baking tray! Fantastic job and a real work of art!

[@gaynorjackson8857]

I loved the colour and the detail to restoring is unbelievable from a none starter to a stunner I'd say definitely a keeper

[@NTRprojects]

Hey Gaynor, I didn't know that you haven't seen this one yet. Very nice of you to crawl through the channel 😊

[@anmolxlnc]

Watching you from 9gag all the way from India, restoration nicely done.

[@NTRprojects]

Namaste and greetings to India. I lived there once (for two month:))

[@jimbolt5170]

Well done. Better than new.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Jim!!!

[@nightwalker5278]

Stunning... Very impressive.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you, I hope you like my other restorations too. Have a great day

[@zekecorder8226]

The Blue Gloss is a great color. The polishing is great, too. Luckily those acme threads on the main screw were intact. I just had to restore an arbor that had acme threads, right and left hand. Great difficulty finding nuts, but I found them. Restoration is great fun!! I enjoy your videos.

[@venkatanarasimhamkadambari242]

Yes of course, Omen and Best of luck Dear. For your Brilliant Workmanship, You need a Beautiful and Organized Workshop and Tools and, Please put up such pictures.

[@Cradley684]

The jewel in the crown on your workbench brilliant job, have a nice day !!!.

[@NTRprojects]

You really did a NTR marathon. Thank you so much Brian

[@chandarussell]

What a beautiful sapphire blue you chose. One of my favourite colours. Job well done on the piece.

[@NTRprojects]

Seven

[@contractkilla6587]

You do beautiful work hands down I've never seen a vice that I could see my face in it But when you think about it real hard nobody would want to see my ugly face in there Vice unless I owed them money. I just finished my vice I'm waiting for the paint to dry it don't look anything like yours But it works it's clean and I'm going to take care of it and I believe it will last me the rest of my lifetime . Number to Vice made in England. I never really understood why people would take time to do this until mine recently broke and I started searching for a new old Vice and the prices were ridiculous so I decided to fix the one I had . 👊👍👍👍👍☝️

[@TheMattGilbert]

Amazing outcome!

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks Matt!

[@tombarlow6176]

Great work new life for the old vice🎉🎉

[@johnlabree6286]

Amazing work.

[@janicegreen4724]

Another great job. I LOVE the color, my favorite after dark purple :)

[@NTRprojects]

If I ever need a suiting vice for the kitchenaid I make it purple 👋😁

[@crescentmoon610]

That is a quality restoration. I too give inanimate objects a spirit, helps you take care of them better.

That’ll last another 50 years no problem. 👏🏼

Purdy! Good for another 50 years.

[@patriciamueller6892]

Ugly vises are different but they tell a story has character and can restore them... Vises are timeless!!! Bye bye shipmate!!!!

[@NTRprojects]

I agree Patricia

[@Bluewater1976]

From 9gag, very nice, gonna keep watching!

[@Clean_White_Sock]

I don't think I've ever watched a vice restoration but you made it very enjoyable. Well done. Love the color combination you chose as well.

[@NTRprojects]

I'm honored, that my vise restoration was the first one

[@andrepienaar6459]

Beautiful colour!

[@NTRprojects]

Yes I love it too

Thanks Terry. Have a look at my other projects

[@nickpedley3502]

Now you will either be too scared to use the vice for fear of destroying all your hard work or you’ll feel you have to clean and polish it after every use. Excellent restoration !

[@NTRprojects]

I use it every time I'm in the workshop, but I always take great care of it. I just love this vise

[@mattg6262]

It's a beautiful tool. Very nice work.
