Leg Vise Restoration

Restored this leg vise to mount on the tool stand I made last week for my blacksmithing setup.
It will stay outside near my coke forge, so I used rust converter on all surface to hopefully prevent rust, I'm not sure how it will hod up because I never tried rust converter before. We will see!
This leg vise must be very very old, and has been fixed by previous owners pretty much everywhere, it must have seen a lot of abuse.
I wasn't able to find any information about the maker (there is an "L" stamped on the front) but I guess it can have 100 year pretty easily.
Overall I'm very happy with how it turned out, it has been a lot of work to make it decent again but I think is totally worth it, especially because I had a great deal on it: found it on advertisement site for only 25€ !
I hope you enjoyed this video :) If so let me know with a like!
Thank you!

Hi there! You must be a core subscriber! To thank you I'm doing a little giveaway: one of my anvil keychain! Enter here: goo.gl/GsKZLs No restriction and I will cover shipping cost worldwide so be sure to join. While I have your attention I would also like to thank you a lot for all the nice comments you leave on my videos. Until last week I've replied to all of them, but lately they are starting to be too many to do so... From now on I will focus more on specific question rather than replying to everyone in chronological order. Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your comments and I read them all every day :) So thank you, for real, and please don't take it personally if I don't reply you each time from now on. Hope you understand!

[@OleksandrDiedov]

Hi! Thanks you! Keep up your great craftsmanship!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

I would rather you made more videos then answer all the comments. You put a lot of sweat equity into that vise. That was a lot of rust. Hope it serves you well.

[@Underscore23]

Joined and thew some bucks into the Patreon hat. I love seeing new life brought to old tools. Keep up the good stuff man!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man!!

[@justinevomail]

You make quality videos and the variance is nice in them. The only constant is you do good work in all of them. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

[@robinholbrook6576]

Oh MAN! I’m a 75 year old Gramma and I want to do that! It’s just so beautiful to take something and restore it! I LOVE IT! I have restored old floor lamps replacing the silk covered wires for newer. An old pie safe with rusted punched tin is now a treasure: NOT refinished but restored. Anyway, loved watching this! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@I_Eat_Lemons]

When you jumped on top of it I said "What the...?" But then I realized it was an example of the strength of it. Needless to say, you never cease to amaze.

[@Josh-kk8fd]

Thank you for not using that weird techno type music most people play on videos like this. Also great job

[@LilybetMells]

I like the fact you don't over restore, just enough to keep it honest. Great work!!!

[@haroldcoots8433]

At 7:19 when you held the vise up to the stand, I thought "surely he isn't going to weld it to the stand". Quite relieved when you put the bracket on and the bolts. Good Job.

[@daphnesullivan5535]

Am I the only one who just sits here and binge watches all of these lmao

[@charlpohlmann4237]

Absolutely unbelievable that anybody allowed a greate piece of machinary like that to rust away like it did. Well done for rescuing it.

[@mrcohen1799]

Next time no music...Just the sounds of your working is all the satisfaction we want

[@swisscheese13wyles11]

I think people should watch these videos. Because, it informs them and helps them know how to get rust off objects like this.

[@HandToolRescue]

Very nice!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you sir! :)

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

There's always got to be a critic saying: "No! Wrong! I Can't Believe This! So so SO Wrong!" Fortunately, these throwaway, off-the-cuff 'criticisms' have no bearing on the wonderful work you've done. Thank you for sharing it with us! I really like the 'trash to treasure' thing. All the best, and I'm looking forward to seeing future projects. Cheers!

[@sethbracken]

Philbert Desanex your videos that you made are pretty good

[@marcosferreras7772]

Hello, do you have some information of the Styles of this kind of vises?

[@opasworkshop8373]

Great job Gader, that Vice brought your new stand together nice!

[@michaelandersen5453]

Outstanding. The nice thing is it has history and character

[@fabiandaroca]

Every video you make in which I like, they just keep getting better....

[@kevinforth7618]

Nice work. I love seeing old things being reconditioned and put back to good use, not just used as a decoration. Well done.

[@eccentricdetectorists9754]

Wow that was alot of grinding. Shocked you didn't just sandblast... Thank you for saving a awesome tool and antique!!!

[@R3ALFUSION]

His workmanship gets better, just watch some of his newer videos

[@yoncorikami8215]

Glad to see someone who can see the better side of an old tool and bring it back much love man great work

[@user-ec8uc9gj2u]

I love how that spring looks. Aesthetic.

[@bhopale1]

Gosh, how many times I've watched still wants to watch again.

[@kathylecluyse7820]

Wow. It takes an expert eye to see the beautiful, functional tool hiding in a heap of rust - and expert hands to restore that heap of rust to the beautiful tool like you did!

[@alikoulani5446]

youtube knows what i like more than i do

[@andrewdavis6917]

This has become one of my favorite channels, the projects are all very fun to see. The production of the content is superb, thanks for doing things so tastefully without bizarre distractions. Hi from TX

[@hwm0077]

I enjoy seeing these kind of videos, I love it when old items are restored and used again!!

[@paulbrady701]

Great job and the music excellent choice, another tool saved from yesteryear. A pleasure to watch and listen. Thank you.👍🏻

[@me-cq7wv]

Always learn good things from your videos. Thing that can make life easier when restoring old stuff. Thanks

[@booper343]

A lot of hard work with a beautiful result

[@GeoffreyCroker]

Awesome work man! It looked like it came out of a ship wreck to start with.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! Thank you my friend :) :)

[@garyronan5568]

I have one that looks like it was under 100# of horse dung! As A matter of fact it was under 100+# of horse dung!!

[@themarblers4399]

What a beauty! Old and beautiful meets the new. Awesome!

[@ToastTheThird]

These vids seem like the perfect comfy vids to watch on a rainy day. Maybe it's the music choice, maybe it's the anticipation of seeing the finished product, I dunno but I like it. Consider me a subscriber.

[@barbarascagliarini6180]

Ottimo risultato tra il video precedente e quest' ultimo ! Gran bel lavoro !

[@Knallbart]

This is ridiculously satisfying to watch. I like the calm and not over the top music you have in the background, too 😊😊

[@TC-bq5ri]

Too many thumbs down with no explanation! Should be a law that there should be a reason for thumbs down on KZbin! Great Job Sir! That vise looks AWSOME!

[@shit85head]

While watching the tear down and rust removal I was thinking this things not worth saving but then you made it look beautiful and that stand works great for it.

[@randyporter3491]

Every time I watch one of these, I laugh my butt off at the fast hammer hits. I guess I have a warped sense of humor, but I love that in every video. I would like to simply hear the sounds of the shop and not some filler music. It’s not needed, the video is great as it is.

[@YuraKvadrat132]

Excellent restoration. Good grip. Powerful.

[@archbishop8719]

I love watching your restoration projects. I think you are playing on our "millennial" instant gratification! Thanks man!

[@bluedragon0123]

I appreciate the addition of the music in this video.

[@ladyj2552]

Love the video! No music, just sounds of the tools being used.

[@foxdevilswild4641]

[@shedmanx3640]

Beautiful job. I love seeing these old blacksmith vice getting a new lease on life. They occasionally come up for sale here in Australia but are usually expensive and in much worse condition than yours was. Great job. Thanks 🙏.

[@mray1255]

Great work. Thanks for putting in all the hidden time editing the videos. And thanks for keeping the tools restored, but not made flawless new.

[@domenicofabiotoscano4008]

A saperlo prima che fossi italiano ti avrei seguito sin da subito!! Complimenti per ogni lavoro di "ristrutturazione" che hai eseguito, esemplare!!

[@rockofagesusa7942]

You really have a good eye because I would have walked right past that piece, it sure was a rough piece but now it’s alive and ready to be used. Great job !!

[@dsloop3907]

You don't need music in your videos. Your work is great without music.

[@02161962ANDRE]

Мужик, ты просто молодец!!!! Привет из России. Всегда приятно реставрировать старые вещи, особенно из металла! БРАВО !!!!

[@dwightschrute4560]

I have a leg vice someone gave me. Thankfully this answered all my questions about getting it in working condition.

[@jonathanmiddleton5261]

Man that’s fantastic. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@sethbracken]

That black finish from the rust converter looks really good.

[@CowboybubPercussion]

[@darichards1]

I have my fathers old one, it came from a Railway siding shed that was being pulled down, remember seeing my dad straighten a motorcycle frame with it after an accident, bit bigger than the one shown here, but you've given me a hunger to restore it now it too rusted out in an old garden shed that had a leak !

[@desertmulehunter]

Man I love that vise and you did a great job on the restoration!

[@garyriegelsberger4208]

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to create the video and posting it.
