Rare Vice Restoration

#vise #vice #restorationvideos #restoration#asmrnotalking
In this restoration video I will restore ,Stewart Handy Worker vise drill grinder restoration, After donating the searing iron from a previous restoration video I did, to the local Museum they were really impressed with the quality of workmanship when I spotted this vise and asked if I could restore it, they jumped at the chance and helped me load into the car I figured out it was missing some parts after searching around we found most the parts that we needed for restoring it I expect most Farmers that bought this would have used anything that was handy for a stand , on that basis of that I went through museums storage barn and found a stand that looked interesting admittedly it's more decorative then functional but it is for display for Museum it was interesting during the research figuring out what it is and where it came from so it's a Stewart handy worker
sold by Farmers trading company on mail order catalogue
Made in the 1920s
the combination of stand and anvil is too heavy for me to lift together
the vice has been turned back to the museum now. And found another missing part for the vice the drill plate
I did have two offers to buy it .
hope you enjoy watching this video cheers Richard restorations
help fund the next project for the museum koji.to/k/6AxN

With a huge share of restorations now fake, it is so enjoyable to see an actual restoration! And, one very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

[@richardrestorations]

thanks Bryce for the encouragement

[@XSR_RUGGER]

I have one of these but it's missing a few parts. I found it at an antique shop in Kansas and something drew me to it lol. I was a poor college student but I snatched it up. I need to get the gears, shafts, and redo the vice face plates but this is the best video I've found on it. I was excited to see it. Thank you for the journey.

Like it, you did a perfect restoration.

Nice restore, I have the exact same Stewart HandyWorker vise but no handle. Now i can create the correct handle for the drill/grinder. Thank you sir 🙂

[@richardrestorations]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad my video could help you create the correct handle for your drill/grinder. Keep up the great work!

That tool is beautiful enough to display in your sitting room - well done! And the stand looks great too. The museum must be very pleased. Thanks. Tom (from France).

[@richardrestorations]

Thank you very much!

[@Itkovan]

Well done on the restoration. Since it's now a museum-piece, it is just as well to leave in some dings and nicks to show that it was actually used.

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks i do like to leave as much history as i can

[@jamesfield5346]

Yes the restoration of the big pipe wrench would be cool

[@richardrestorations]

very complete and useful tool , i want one ! Thank you 😅

[@richardrestorations]

Glad you like it!

[@finder1957]

As a very young boy my folks immigrated to CHCH in the early 60s. I remember that almost everything had several uses. Ie. a washing machine with heater in bottom was cleaned and used for bottle sterilization. A car had a water heater for tea and a hot box to keep meals warm. We returned to Canada after 3 years 😢but even today I tell those stories to friends and families. Your multi tool here is yet another example of the industrious minded folk who built your wonderful nation. One question. Do you work for or contracted with the museum you mention in this video?

[@richardrestorations]

Hi thanks for your question, the restoration jobs I've been giving to the museum are totally free they have an enormous stockpile of stuff that needs to be restored and it works out for my benefit and their benefit, if I get a couple of hundred thousand views for each video on KZbin that pays for the restoration I pay for all the materials paint and spend a week to do every restoration at no cost to the museum i have 4 more unusual and weird restorations I'll be doing for them Cheers Richard

[@Susied7]

What a nifty tool to have on a farm or even at the house. Great job.

[@richardrestorations]

thanks for watching😀

[@sheep1ewe]

Awesome! I would totaly love to wisit the museum if i could!

Thanks Robert I appreciate the encouragement

[@davidaschneider3838]

I have one the same I purchased for $.50 cents when I was about 12 years old, You are missing a vice part that would exchange with the anvil bed, it would allow you toclamp a piece of wood to be drilled. I also have the both pipe vice pieces. mine has not been restored and is in excellent shape. Thanks for the great video.

[@richardrestorations]

Hi David I found the missing plate and the anvil spike at the Museum, thanks for watching

[@493913507]

pipe wrenches always come in handy,hell yes restore it...

thanks I will put it on the list

Please restore the rusty wrench. I think it is awesome to see tools restored and then used.

[@lancedriscoll8447]

Any idea of who made these I have it's identical twin minus the interesting attachments but the vise is identical

[@richardrestorations]

At 28:11 is the sales brochure with who made it Cheers Richard

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Called a Stewart’s Handy Worker. All the razzmatazz but none of the functionality. The first multi-tool perhaps. Have one too, with all accessories. Lovely to look at but a terd to use!

[@Michael-ul8bv]

Very nice restoration, However that beauty should be in a shop and used not just an ornament.

The price of $16 caught my eye. Along with how you did a great job. Thanks

Awesome! Thank you!

[@don1031]

A terrific and unusual piece and very nicely done! Just came across you channel. Now a subscriber and will enjoy catching up and keeping up. As to the pipe wrench idea, my first thought was concentrate on more unusual things.

[@richardrestorations]

Welcome aboard! i agree with you, unusual things are the go

[@YuriNGolfeto]

2k subscribes congratulations :) maybe you could restore the wrench without power tools as a challenge

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks for the idea! thanks for help to get to 2k cheers Richard

Yes you should restore the old Stinson wrench.

Fantastic restoration! Keep it up! What is the type of wrench called that you used to break free the bolts on the stand at about 21:19? I've never seen one of those.

[@richardrestorations]

hi russell i have had that one and a smaller one kicking around my toolbox for years I vaguely remember buying the set

[@spiceykiwi]

I think your asking about the Slip Wrench ?

[@EFNIR]

23:37 "there is the husbands" 🤣🤣

[@TheLoxxxton]

Whoah! Slow down with the recommendations! I had to rewind and pause to see the can of 'breakaway' I'm guessing USA?

[@richardrestorations]

Thanks for your feed back cheers Richard 😀

[@rebeccajones8921]

Yes it needs to be restored it deserves it lol

[@bernardlelorrain]

nice to have keep the "used tool" finish, grandpa have to stay grandpa and not a paper pin up ! for the pipe wrench it's not necessary to touch it, the aspect stay in oil industry's standart... 😂 at least if you want to clean it let's it outside during an Saharian sand desert storm and it'll be perfect ! 🤗🤗

Thanks for the tips! Bernard

[@look4truth480]

yup restore the wrench

@10:46 - i don't complain on other folks videos when they build, craft, renovate or repair. if i disapprove i simply tell myself i would do it slightly different. yet, if someone refurbishes an old gasoline chainsaw and then doesn't show it cutting a log i am for sure disappointed. 🔧
