Vintage Record 84 Vice / Vise Restoration - Copper Jaw and Mirror Finish

[@markglessner2886]

Bravo! Far more realistic in terms of what we normal guys have to work with in a small shop. Some of these restoration guys use milling machines and so on, fill every factory pit in the casting, and apply an automotive-quality finish. They seem to forget it is a tool, and meant to be used. Down to earth is the way to go.

[@fuuzzee]

I also have a “Tiny Workshop” in the one car garage. I really enjoy this channel because you don’t have all the machinist tools, milling machines, and blasting cabinets and yet you still produce AWESOME restorations. This channel gives guys like me more confidence to attempt things like this the “regular guy” tiny workshop.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. My workshop is half of a 1 car garage. I like showing what a normal person can do. I’m no expert so if I can restore so can everyone else

[@lesbaty8919]

My work shop is so small I have to go outside just to change my mind

[@damschu23]

what kind of air compressor do you have for your sandblasting cabinet? how much air does it put out? i want to buy a sandblasting cabinet myself, but i don’t have a strong compressor and need to figure out how moch i really need to spend on that.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Hi I have the Hyundai HY3150S. This is the absolute smallest you should get. If you have space and a better budget I’d suggest to go bigger. I use it for approximately 2 mins 30 seconds at 100psi before the pumps turns on again.

My neighbor has just gifted me a lovely big vise that has been bolted down outside for since 1970 , should be fun The way you did this one has really been an inspiration

[@jaysmachone]

This was a truly remarkable transformation. Great work! I'm starting to restore my Vanderman #1 vise this week. I did a little research and learned my vise was made between the late 1800s and early 1900s. I waslooking for some inspiration. I found it!

[@Bekjeris21]

Since I have purchased a relic record 23, I've watched a few of these restoration videos for guidance and inspiration. This is the best one so far. Very nice result. Thanks for sharing

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you very much. I’m glad this video has helped.

[@BestUserNameUK]

Nice to see someone use the proper colour, Roundel Blue. That's how it would've left the Sheffield factory. Nice job👍🏼

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

For future reference. Anytime you want to bring a large surface to a fine finish, never use your hand to back up the abrasive. Always use a block of some kind under the sheet. This insure a far flatter surface than the hand can do. It maintains flatness. The larger the block under the abrasive sheet, the better the finish will appear when done.

[@woundedmonk1884]

idk if its really that important in this case as its not a machinist vice

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

@@woundedmonk1884 ; It all depends on what you want the finished product to look like. If you are content with it, then that is all there is to it. Have great day and stay safe.

he makes so muts more mistakes then that. like why polis before paint. why sandblast lid paint, etc. why use bad metal bolt in handle , it mate broke long run

Absolutely beautiful. I've just got a Record No 25 Vice of my nextdoor neighbour. It's over 41kg in weigh and about 43 years old. I would love to refurbish this vice as good as this high standard. Well done.

All the effort proved worthwhile. Great video tutorial, thank you.

[@bigjohn3435]

you can always tell when these vids aren't from the USA, the brake clean actually cleans like the stuff from 20 years ago. warm water and dawn dish soap does a better job that the brake clean that's available nowadays for us. count yourselves lucky you can still get the good stuff

[@benalter7316]

very good job, without fancy machines. pure and nice hobby workshop. great restoration, thnx

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. I like to show what can be done with easily attainable tools.

[@yeahchband]

I like your approach. I see many of these types of videos where something is restored to the point where it's almost a museum piece. This vice looks like it can be used as intended. I also like how you don't have all the tools in the world, but you use what you have.

[@toddfryman6178]

Awesome job my friend thank you for sharing!!

you are paying attention to details so your restoration is so nice , well done

Well done sir, a damn fine job. I really enjoyed watching this video. You have transformed that rough old vice into a thing of beauty, fair play to you.

[@toxofoz6233]

[@wokohedgehogs]

That is so nice mate, I think that’s probably the nicest restoration that you have done, I think anyone would be so proud to have that adorning their bench. It’s such a shame that there are no awards for restoration of tooling etc like there are for cars, as you my friend would win concours every time. 😊

I may as well hand it to ya! It's a good job done without a lathe or mill . And though somebody might do bits a little different, this is a good example of working with what is available may still result in a superb bit of work. I approve of your Record Vice paint colour also ☺

Nice resto mate, exactly the same vice as mine which was handed down to me from my dad before he passed away, always think about him when im working in my garage, and you have spurred me on to restore mine as well.

Great job. Nice to see the roundel blue paint. I've now got pretty painful rheumatism in the fingers that I've been using for 25 years to grip and file small parts, as you do in his video. I have now started using hand vices whereever possible. You might want to consider restoring a couple of hand vices and saving your hands from this condition. Looking forward to your next restore.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. Funny you should saw that, I just purchased a small rusty hand vice. Perhaps I will film a restoration.

Nice job, I did the same to an old vice that was chucked out from Rolls-Royce in Derby thrown in a skip, massive great thing is was. Your pedestal drill, I found mine at the end of someones drive and managed to get it before the scrap man turned up, restored it, nothing wrong with it.

That is a really cool vise. Excellent job. 👍 Need to paint those raised letters/numbers. Love those soft copper jaws.

@@mytinyworkshop1213 absolutely right, Record vices don’t have coloured letters and I love that you used the right blue. Called Roundel blue after the outer ring on the RAF roundel used on their planes. Great restoration and nice replacement bar.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. It sure is similar.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Agreed. Some of the vice patterns are common to several companies. Sometimes from company buyouts and sometimes, possibly, from straight pattern purchases. There's some information on the internet, but it needs a super vice nerd to compile a book.
