Old USSR Vise Restoration

[@aitf99]

I would have painted the vise body red for the simple reason that its from the USSR. Nice job though

[@eraserstp]

It would not be authentic, in the Soviet workshops and factories red meant hazardous areas, and tools and machines usually painted in blue or green, less often yellow.

[@zvank]

eraserstp никогда не видел синих станков

[@eraserstp]

У нас в учебке например были синие. Я желтых никогда не видел вживую, но знаю что бывали такие.

[@zvank]

Про жёлтые я тож слышал ,но синие...

@@eraserstp ....then why not some tsarist colours, one of which was unfortunately.....WHITE??? Better, yellow & blue, in honour of the Ukraine, demeaned as "Little Russia".....!

[@cristian6766]

What a great restoration! Love the colour chosen, black and that orange brownish colour looks great! Love it!

[@jonathangriffin1120]

Looking at the sparks coming off, I would say that's a steel vice, well worth restoring.

[@marcuscicero9587]

smart make on rounding out the nuts on the handle you fabricated. maybe loctite or expandable drive pins to keep them seated. excellent job

[@garymucher9590]

I read some of the comments and contrary to what some say, I personally think you did a very good job. It is now usable and will do the job. And isn't that more of what it is all about. Making something useful again. Thumbs up!

[@WytoArtandCustom]

Очень классные тиски получились, лучше старые отреставрированные, чем новые китайские

[@marcuscicero9587]

real clean job. nice addition to your shop

Absolutely brilliant, your work is a great inspiration for my own videos😊👍 thank you so much

[@starflash08]

Great looking vice

[@mickytwoknives]

love the quality of your work....have subscribed on the strength of this.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Good work and video, good color, thank you!

[@kylerunyan5950]

Nicely done! Looks great! I think I would have done the same thing with replacing the handle tho. When they are tweaked that bad, you just can;t save them unless you have a forge, and even then it doesn't look right. You made it turn out REAL nice looking!

[@budthomason8890]

Good job. Thats a two thumbs up job.

[@michaelb4234]

Very cool design on that vise. I enjoyed watching your work. 👍🏻

Your restoration is like taking shower after a long walk !!

Legal seus vídeos, sou profissional de manutenção e curto demais esse conteúdo. Acho que todos nós podemos contribuir com o meio ambiente de alguma forma. Reaproveitar é uma delas, pois cada ferramenta ou máquina reaproveitada é uma que deixa de ser fabricada desnecessariamente, o meio ambiente agradece.

Now THAT'S a restoration!

Why didn't you use greese on the moving parts ?

[@heffatheanimal2200]

I nearly cried when you cut off the original handle. So much for "restoration"

[@oreocarlton3343]

Same, but he had a good reason for replacing the handle

[@darnit1944]

Maybe the handle is beyond repair.

[@heffatheanimal2200]

@@darnit1944 Just need to heat it up and hammer it straight again

[@Mycatsname]

heffatheanimal really! Where are your restoration videos? Show everyone how it’s done! Don’t bother with how you Would Have Done It..

[@markharrisllb]

I don’t think the original handle we saw was the original handle.

[@markharrisllb]

I like it, very much indeed. I am curious about not seeing you put any grease on the moving parts? Did you put it on my off camera? Or is there a reason you didn’t put it on?

[@martinbarber1782]

Amazing work!!!

[@Cradley684]

Really great job !!!

[@Cochis3]

Nice restorations brother, keep it up.

[@ВячеславШвец-ф3ы]

[@cookiesushi3837]

In normal cases, you loosen the screws in the vices. However, in Mother Russia, the screws of vices loosen you.

Nice works! I just subscribed your channel for catching up other videos. Keep on your good works! Cheers!

Me too!

[@marcuscicero9587]

looks good just wire brushed. maybe degrease and birchwood casey ultra blue. nice dark gun metal finish somewhat rust resistant.

[@MrRafterPL]

5:16 is this a price visible? 11 rubels

[@marcuscicero9587]

still got a corded electric drill I see. still got my Milwaukee 1/2" magnum. good for driving large screws into wood all day. mostly use battery operated drills, but for continued heavy stuff no substitute for a corded drill

[@dokmetasonur]

Do you think that is it wise to buy 1976 ussr vise? Is it made of cast steel or cast iron?

[@instrumentfixer35yearsexp90]

Restoring Soviet workmanship from the 'good old days'.

[@robertsnell2834]

Very nice restoration. Did you grease everything before you reassembled it???

[@ashleyzanelli7825]

What did you dip the gripping parts in

Well done

[@victorpapaavp]

Did you wear the old camo and gas mask on purpose? Loved the video!

[@jrrestorations8278]

Penetrating lube for easier disassembly and heavy grease for reassembly. Other than that, it was a nice restoration.

[@thomaswilson5195]

Very nice

[@Buzzman-ou4bo]

Why didn’t you put grease on all the moving parts and threads

[@garyjones7198]

Grease is rationed out in Mother Russia and he already used his share.. lol...

[@shortbusoperations8513]

So when can I come by and use our vice?

[@laebdangrs4274]

nice work friend

[@Muran001]

What's kind of an orange and large screwdriver which was hit by hammer? Very well restored vise ;)

[@MrFlashx1]

El Muranos it's called an impact screwdriver, they work very well and it is worth having one.

Now you have a nice vise you can use!

When things were made intended to last...

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Neat vise! Though not a restoration, you certainly "refurbished" this one well. Might I suggest not painting machined steel parts... leave that for the cast materials. Instead, polish and oil soak, or clean and make smooth, then dunk in some bluing agent. Paint will just chip right off of that spindle and throat washer. Either way, don't pay attention to the critics who don't or won't offer reasonable alternatives to your process. Thanks for the video!

5:10 цена - 11р. Не так дёшево, если получаешь ок. 120-140 р/мес.

Вполне не дорогой, доступный инструмент. Сейчас тиски примерно того же класса стоят в районе 200-250$ при средней зп 500$.

[@alexeyminkov2366]

При таком соотношении, если и покупать, то только для зарабатывания на них зарплаты. "Для души" же, почти наверняка - из тугих и неизбежных объятий жабы - не спастись.

Признавайся у какого русского деда утащил?)

[@JDLarge]

Nice vise!!! A full wipe down with an alcohol based solvent (even vodka would have worked 😉) then a primer and sand before paint... grease to keep it moving and it add rustproofing but why, why, why did you cut that handle? You removed a big piece of its history... You could have straightened it.

0:15 ??? Intresting maneuver. :D

[@Mycatsname]

You did another brilliant job and people get upset because you changed out the crappy handle. They either need to get a life or show everyone how they would do on their channels!

[@Mycatsname]

The actual definition. re·store (rĭ-stôr′) tr.v. re·stored, re·stor·ing, re·stores 1. To bring back into existence or use; reestablish: restore law and order. 2. To bring back to an original or normal condition: Koss has restored the vice to top condition and revived a top notch tool that he could actually use. What your talking about is the total opposite. A broken tool made a bit shiny and a bit roughed up to “look” old and never used, a useless piece of metal. I prefer that people reuse or repurpose what ever they can, it’s a shame that so much of our history is being thrown out, collecting dust on someone’s shelf or locked up in a museum that no one can use. We should protect our history and use the items in museums to educate people, but this is just a common vice! A ruined and useless piece of metal until he restored it to a fully functioning tool. It’s totally ridiculous that he gets hammered for doing that. How many videos have you done like this? I would like to see what the right way or the proper way or the way it’s supposed to be done, according to armchair critics like you! Oh wait, they don’t upload anything, restore something, fix anything or even offer advice, practical advice.

[@Ricopolico]

Note to all vise-owner-wannabes: never buy a vise with a handle which looks like a pretzel. PS - File mating surfaces dead flat rather than round them over with a flap wheel. PPS - If jaws can be cut with a hacksaw, it's time to think about hardening them.
