This rusty vise was a real challenge! I disassembled it with hammers, after that i restored all of the metal parts and gave them a nice new painting. I also made a new handle on the lathe! After reassembling this vise works perfectly fine again!

[@mymechanics]

Very nice video! That's a pretty cool lathe with that milling attachment you got there, I love it.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks a lot! Yeah it’s pretty smart and easy to handle! But it’s not the best for bigger parts, as the operating dimensions are limited. Thanks! ❤️

I will never get over how all of the restoration channels (TySy, My Mechanics, Mr. Patina, etc. etc.) All know each other and even seem like they're all friends, it always warms my heart when I see comments from another channel or see them send/recieve something from one another, its so sweet

Right? His hobby isn’t buying new stuff. If he just wanted a new vice he could have hopped down to the hardware store. He probably has a ton of fun restoring old stuff. He must since he has a whole channel dedicated to it.

[@misterpatina]

@James - thanks man, you got it 🙂

[@arvindsahai552]

I learned to keep my household tools clean and shiny by watching Mr. Patina and My mechanic. Thank you both.

[@johnbasil7882]

Simply a genius. I love when somebody could take the high-quality items of yesterday that have been extremely neglected and refurbish them to store quality condition they deserve it and it takes a certain type of person to do this. This is heavy patients, heavy knowledge, and simply a ton of artistic skill. Always love to watch one of these videos

[@666666yb]

А как моё мнение. Часть моментов были лишние, и один момент вообще печальный. Шлифовка части на которой будут рихтовать детали молотком... Правка старых губок, которые нужно было сделать новые. Шлифануть подвижную часть, усугубив люфты... Ну, дело хозяйское. Автору видео захотелось по своему. У меня свое понимание. Да и хз как это переведёт онлайн переводчик...

Hi🙏🙏🙏

[@pepperjack6421]

This one came out even better than I expected. The handle is wonderful, and I like how you kept the original pitting in the vise itself while making the user areas perfect again. She’s ready to go another 100 years for sure.

[@misterpatina]

Hey man, thanks a lot for your kind words!

[@ryanparrinello2272]

Gotta say, these videos, restoring tools, and making jigs are three of my favorite things. God job on the vice!

[@elfhelmp]

The algorithm recommended this video... While I'm in the process of restoring the exact same vice model!!! It will even have the same color, which I already purchased! Crazyyyyy! I'm done grinding the cast marks and I covered the rest with putty, I sanded it down to make it smooth... it's ready for painting now. But mine is in much better shape than yours. I'm speechless... Great job btw!

[@MarionJInce]

During the electrolysis process to restore woodworking hand planes, I used to use Boraxo washing powder, but I think it’s been discontinued and hard to find. It did a very good job and didn’t need an additional rust treatment. I haven’t tried baking soda. Great job!

Awesome Job!! I've gotta tell you that I've watched a good many Vise Restorations here, on KZbin, but you're the 1st one I've seen, who dressed up the Anvil part of a Vise, with a Milling Machine & get it extra nice like you did here!! Highest Compliments!! Ron Abilene, TX

[@davidens8204]

given the tools you have and the time you spend on any given project I think it is safe to say that there is not much if any thing you can not restore in a great and timely manner ... great stuff

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

As always taking an ordinary old used up piece of equipment and making it extraordinary. Two star to five star. Far greater than the vise was brand new from the factory those many years ago!

Splendid outcome! Sometimes when dealing with thick rust I’ll just build a big fire and throw the item in and let it get red-hot and cool down in the coals overnight. Helps with stuck bolts too. Just subscribed!

Incredible restoration. You are a master craftsman. Bringing good but neglected old tools back to life is wonderful to see.

[@michaelbarratt3067]

Not one rattle or squeak heard when completed. Brilliant!

[@nickadamson6053]

Great idea with the stand-off/coupling/threaded insert (called so many things) for the rear shaft collar. I was wondering how you would address that. I'll have to keep that trick in my mind if I run into that kind of issue in the future!

[@bobbydelamar606]

Yes! Fire always helps 🔥 Hammer screwdriver is a great tool sometimes for those stuck screws and bolts.

[@michaelthibault7930]

To and fro; if it moves, and there's enough friction that there's a chance of the bolt shearing, it has a better chance of coming out if you back-and-forth/worry it continually while unscrewing.

[@ToddDunning]

Your humor is terrific, it really sets you apart from the others. Ok that was my compliment-copter

[@williamgates1496]

Awesome work! The jaws need a little more TLC though... 🦈💙

[@richter1991]

I really enjoyed what you done with the slit screw in the back of the handle. The result was mind blowing! Also, WD-40 is not really that effective to lose rust bolts (better than nothing, for sure). I learned that acetone and automatic transmission oil make an excellent penetrating fluid. I also recommend that you apply it 24 prior, this allow the solution to penetrate (thanks to the low viscosity of automatic oil) and corrode the rust (thanks to acetone).

Nice job and appreciate your work 9:00 When you mill the vise to get a perfect surface, you should mill the base circle first in order to get a perfect reference base. Otherwise, even you make a perfect surface on the upper part, when you put the vise on the bench, these milled surface will be slanted.
