HUGE German Goliath 150mm Vise Restoration - Protect tools

[@andrewmiller8182]

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! 🍻

[@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

[@chrismills5110]

Superb, many thanks for this video!

[@NTRprojects]

Many thanks for this comment chris!!

[@SirEdroK]

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

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you ECo

[@Primusaur]

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

[@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!

[@qwerrweterterhrhry]

Birds chirping in the background was a nice touch))

[@darylw.schreiner2296]

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

[@falcaossf1965]

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

[@NTRprojects]

Yes they are!

[@FernandoCostaPereira-bf8qj]

Beautiful to see!... Now look for a glass dome and take it to the museum of contemporary fine arts to be seen and admired for centuries to come.

[@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

[@gromit1996]

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

[@misterpatina]

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

[@NTRprojects]

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

[@misterpatina]

❤️

[@kristyskirt9015]

The stunning blue with chrome look and bluing very snazzy. Very good job.👏

[@gerry4b]

Very well done. Too many restorers turn working tools into knickknacks. Here we see a tool preserved and made a showpiece! 👍👍

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@-Deena.]

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

[@NTRprojects]

Oh yes indeed he is loved

[@Shooter4547]

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

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much Scott!

[@ibbobo5162]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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 🍻👍

[@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!!

[@chandarussell]

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

[@NTRprojects]

[@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.

[@Cradley684]

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

[@kyfho47]

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

[@hippotek1]

Den würden wir uns auch zu Hause hinstellen. Sehr schön! Tolles ruhiges Video...so macht das SPASS!

[@NTRprojects]

Vielen Dank Jörg

[@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!

[@DrMrSmooth]

Good restore :)

[@inkenhafner7187]

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

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@chrishemke3233]

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

[@markglessner2886]

I support that you did a sane and sensible restoration.

[@carlmcgee1623]

Worth more than several bars of platinum. Excellant work !

[@Anmobgoccult20]

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

[@budmartin8297]

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

[@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!

[@rlm98253]

[@NTRprojects]

Yes a very helpful showpiece in my workshop

[@nevillesmith9795]

It turned out great. Like the new blue colour. Well done👌🏼

[@-Deena.]

Excellent! Subscribed 🧡 @1:47 I asked on a very popular resto channel why the restored vice jaws weren't hardened as I had expected and the answer made a lot of sense. They are kept soft so that they deform and not the work piece, so that you don't mark your work. Apparently jaws are 'consumables' as they are designed to get damaged and be replaced 🧡

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you for the information and your subscription. I use soft click on Jaws for this kind of stuff. Since I can't buy those specific primary Jaws anymore I can't use them as consumables :)

[@-Deena.]

@@NTRprojects Believe me I know nada! Ahh so that's why you had the Jaws made in two parts. Clever 😊 Love the channel and the toast drink reviews! Thank you 🧡

[@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.

[@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

[@ls901]

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

[@tombarlow6176]

Beautiful restoration of the vice keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉

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:))

[@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!

[@thomasthompson6799]

Wow that was great work to restore the old vise and make it ready for another lifetime of service. I appreciate all of the hand work like filing when you did not have the right machines and I like the blue paint. Sorry the beer was not to your liking but I am sure you will try again. I hope you will find more old tools to restore too. Excellent work!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much!

[@crescentmoon610]

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

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!! 🫡👏👏

[@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.

[@henriknordeng]

Fantastic work Sir. I always wanted to polish like you did and have it red metallic just to see how it looks.

[@NTRprojects]

Hey Henrik your not the first one to suggest a red one, but metallic is one more step. But I like the idea... Guess not a lot of people would understand it 😅

[@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

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

[@mattg6262]

It's a beautiful tool. Very nice work.

[@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.

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

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much Cecil! I work in an environment where efficiency is always first priority and I use the time on my projects to make quality the very first priority. That takes time but is very important to me

[@prithvirajkshirsagar9535]

Good job, I like sandblasting and your painting. Keep it up.

[@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 . 👊👍👍👍👍☝️
