[@keithblakely9356]

Man after watching your video I went a restored a Reed 105 & painted it white & blue like you did, thanks for the video man it helped me a lot

[@Mexashop1]

Oh man thats what i like to hear! keep it up glad to help!

[@rteniere]

I am going to restore the same vise. Thanks for the video and motivation!

[@timeflysintheshop]

Nice! I like the paint colors you chose! Well done! 😁👍😁👍😁

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you 🙌

[@hallsweldingservice]

Glad I found this channel. I have a Reed 104 that was my grandfather's. Never sell it.

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! and i agree never sell it especially because it was your grandfathers, pass it on to your kids🙌 Reeds are one of my favorite vises

[@markkolmorgan7728]

Nice video, I've crossed your restorations before, sort made a mental note to check in now and then, but I caught Will Stelter's walk through of your collection the other day, and that triggered the subscribe button. You seem to be "the Man" on vise restoration and identification. Wonderful collection, by the way, I'm super jealous (in a good way, it's good to desire things that are out of reach, it promotes self growth.) Keep these videos coming we're all out here waiting with baited breath...

[@Mexashop1]

Appreciate that brother, i love vises so im constantly doing research on them and finding new ones 👍🏻

[@stevebo8055]

I love your handle cleaning techniques, I’ll use that. Thanks.

[@Mexashop1]

Thats great thank you!

[@westhighlandsshop]

Just found your channel. Cool vice, awesome looking shop.

[@Mexashop1]

Appreciate that!

[@RickRose]

Great job and excellent tips. Amazing vise collection you have there in your garage. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks for watching!

[@mm9773]

Neat trick with the tape to clean up a handle. I even have a drill stand that would allow me to mount the drill horizontally like that.

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you Glad it helped! 👍🏻

[@zachfilipek9572]

White looks sharp, good job! Lots of great tips/hacks, I spray paint into a cap and use a brush to do detail work too!!

[@Mexashop1]

Awesome bro you don't see many guys doing that, thanks ✌🤛

[@travish4276]

Looks nice! I have same vise perfect working order but has that old patina... Love the white too, that's cool. Giving me a resto idea.

[@Mexashop1]

Right on, yeah white probably not the best idea 😅👍🏻

[@ronancahill2487]

Great tip. Love your shop.

[@Mexashop1]

Glad you like it! thanks 👍🏻

[@Seavoyager45]

Nice job, thanks for the great tips!!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Cool! I remember seeing this clip on your Instagram! Nice to see you and your son working in the shop 💪✨

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks bro🤛

[@patriciamueller6892]

Looking for hobbies vise to restore going to check all the scrap yards and dumpsters Iove your movies on restoring keep them coming!!! Good day mate!!

[@Mexashop1]

Cool, thanks and good luck!

[@briansworkshop01]

Fantastic job looks great love the colours thanks for sharing and remember#stay safe and make. 🍺🍺👍👍

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@joshuasparks6563]

Great work, Brother! I just started on my old Reed No. 205 R, and the only thing I wish you had included (my main reason for watching) was the disassembly process. I've figured it all out now, but I've got my work cut out for me. A couple of deep chunks and burn-outs from the previous owner that I'll have to tig up and grind out. Also, I'm going to have to fab one new ball end for the handle, as well as weld up some spots on the jaw faces, and try to recut the knurl/surface texture. Fun Fun!! Wish me luck!

[@Mexashop1]

Good luck bro send me some pictures on my instagram🙌🙌

[@jimronchetto8592]

Another great restoration!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you brotha!

[@jeffdalton7084]

Fantastic as always! Keep the videos coming!

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks bro🤛

[@PJGalati]

Nice work! Some good tips in there. I noticed you were liberal with the grease, but no protection for the rest of the bare metal surfaces, add some furniture paste wax into your routine to keep the surface rust at bay. ; )

[@Mexashop1]

Great! I've never used paste wax ill be using that on the next vise resto,,,Thanks bro!

[@marcuscicero9587]

nice brother. thanks for the vid. from the looks of your shop and the innumerable amount of vises I see, it appears that you've developed a business restoring vises for sale. best wishes.

[@Mexashop1]

I do some sales but mostly restored and collect👍🏻

[@jeffreycaban5107]

Some great tips in this video especially the sanding of the handle with a drill and sandpaper. I'm gonna try it on my next restoration. What grit sandpaper do you use?

[@nikonshooter71]

I gotta try that Hammered White. That looks sooooo Sharp

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you ! I definitely recommend it, i will be doing a big 8'' vise hammered white soon 👍🏻

[@tooladdict7463]

Fantastic job I love the color well done mate

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jeffrey9102]

I have the same vise, how do you remove the handle with the threads that turns? I was hoping you were gonna show that but you didn't.

[@Mexashop1]

My bad but they have a set screw on the side and just like any screw counter clock wise, Its called a split nut because it will come in two pieces, good luck! 👍🏻

[@thriftymachineandweld4190]

Looks nice! Great work!!!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@douglasgaither1346]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@peterkolovos3079]

Great job.

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ediceliorosapinto6479]

What would be the original color and period of this lathe?

[@windyhillfoundry5940]

Excellant restoration 👌. Be careful with those wore wheels on angle grinders, I ripped my hand open with those before

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks brother✌ and I will be more careful with them the wires always fly out everywhere

[@memguy38117]

Great job and video! I have a Reed 204R..one problem...the wedge bolt is missing! By any chance do you have extra parts for this vise? Can u possibly make one? Thanks

[@Mexashop1]

I dont have one bro the only way is to find another vise maybe a broken one for parts

[@alexaronow9316]

Nice work man! I have the same vice that belonged to my father that I'm getting ready to restore so thank you for the tips! You're vise collection is incredible bro, do you ever sell any of them?

[@Mexashop1]

Glad I could help! and no i only collect vises don’t really sell any 👍🏻

[@danbarrett6113]

Thank you, I have a question for you. I bought an old Reed 103 today and the handle is bent. Any idea how I can straighten it?

[@Mexashop1]

Easy, set it flat on a piece or iron heat it and hammer it straight, those reeds are one of my favorite ones 👍🏻

[@bklynpa]

Buen trabajo

[@Mexashop1]

Gracias 🙌

[@garyjones2582]

Very nice work M.S.. BTW can I lease a large Wilton from you?.. Great video.

[@Mexashop1]

🤣 Thank you!

[@johnf3668]

Nice!! This one has smooth jaws? Do you find that it affects it's grip? Thanks!

[@Mexashop1]

Not at all, its great for any light duty work, the serrated jaws leave marks on most materials even on steel

[@Chadwhansen3232]

Hey so I just bought a reed mfg vice but the base plate is gone am I fucked or can I order a new one from reed mfg

[@Mexashop1]

Oh man, i would definitely try but very little chance to find one that fits, i would just look for a beat up one for cheap and replace the plate bro,, good luck 👍

[@kevindiaz7596]

Quedó muy bonito, soy el chico que hablo contigo en instagram de Canarias

[@Mexashop1]

Good that you and Junior are wearing masks when grinding and wire brushing but you should also wear masks. Nasty stuff in that dust!

[@Mexashop1]

[@garageshopminnesota]

Looks great! I follow you on Instagram as well.

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks bro i appreciate that 👌✌

[@thecynic807]

Instead of tape. Take vaseline and put smear it on the parts you dont want paint on. Then scrape it of with that razor.

[@Mexashop1]

Thats the first time i hear about using vaseline i gotta definitely try that 👍🏻 thanks for the the tip👍🏻👍🏻

[@tomallen6073]

A file will cut that tape off super slick. Just run it along the edges.

[@Mexashop1]

Tom Allen Thanks for the tip I’ll give it a try 👍
