Rusty Broken Gressel Vise Restoration - Restoration Videos.
Hello again after a long break. In this Project, I present you the restoration of a Gressel vise, made in Switzerland. This vise was beaten up pretty bad and the Project has been long and rough. Vise’s jaws were especially in bad shape because of aggressive working that has been done on them. There was a broken piece of the body under the one of the jaws too. I have decided to weld and reshape that. Similarly, jaw’s upper part was full of grinding marks so I needed to weld those places too. Even though anvil part of vises are made for light hammering work, I bet this vise was used as an anvil to hammer out cold pieces of steel. Because of all these bad parts, I needed to use the welder a lot in this project. I used milling machine to rough out the welded pieces and in the and I used surface grinder and hand sanded them to finish. Instead of polishing to protect from rust, I used matte stainless steel coating on parts of the vise. It created a cool look in my opinion. Like I have done before, I used hammered green paint on this vise. I didn’t paint the Gressel markings but instead polished it and left the smaller letterings on the vise unpainted and same as the body color. That way I got a plain and beautiful. Because the old jaws were so hard, it would not be easy to repair them which I decided to not use the old jaws and made new ones. Newly made jaws are my favorite part of this project. What was your favorite part of the project? Don’t forget to comment about your favorite part of it. I need to remind that I read and like every each comment. I hope you like this video. I look forward to see your comments about it, please like the video if you enjoyed it. See you in the next project, take care. I have realized I made two mistakes with the subtitles, but I came to the realization after uploading the video so I was not able to change them. First one is "hammerd paint", which should be "hammered paint". Second one is "ekin anvil workhop" which should be "ekin anvil workshop", which you can see more of on Instagram at @ekinanvil

We are getting dangerously close to My Mechanics quality, which is the highest compliment I can give.

[@vandalsgarage]

Not all of us can do restorations as thoroughly and meticulously as "My Mechanics", but this guy can. Proper job. This one earned you another sub

[@ducewags]

"For Sale, Like New, Never Used, Gressel Vice". Will ship in like new condition box it came in, maybe? Thank you for the fantastic shows, and the time to make them for everyone to enjoy.

*better than new

[@toastycarpet9873]

No low ballers I know what I have 😤

[@Mr1990hjc]

Once again perfection, I can imagine some of the "old heads" from Gressel looking at this and thinking, when did we start making these again ? Good joke for them 🤐

[@sidwallace6053]

That’s a work of art,can’t use it now, put it on your shelf or as a good heavy bookend

[@E_Proxy]

Absolutely wonderful. Those high precisions cuts and adjustments are dream material. And how smooth she runs in the end... I'm in love

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@vickirothe3761]

This is a tutorial on how to thoroughly and properly restore a vise. 👏👏👏👏👏

Ah, ein neues Video. Ich freu mich!

[@packerbacker9109]

My mechanics son is getting pretty good. Dad would be proud!

[@meinemechaniker]

👌

[@raysimon1368]

Another excellent example of a true master at work where is a gressel vise made

[@jeffr0]

my only vice is using my only vice to repair a vice nice job getting the locating pins out with a homemade puller. very ingenious.

[@mftmachining]

World-class resto......I always ask myself, who are these people that ruin a super expensive top class tool like a Gressel vise. You did an absolutely great job on this one. So good that this beauty is back in business.

[@arungaddam64]

King of restoration, unbelievable.Nice

[@dennishinkle5010]

Looks like new again fine job. Thank you.

[@subramanianiyer2731]

superb restoration job. Like from India🇮🇳.

[@frick566]

Nice, just in time to grab a cup of coffee and watch a great resto!!

[@meinemechaniker]

good afternoon, I think 1 coffee will not be enough. I suggest you make 2 coffees for 35 min. 😊

[@t0mn8r35]

Perfect. Better than new. Yours is the only channel that makes a screw interesting.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you

[@ronwalsh]

Great work. I just love refinishing vises.

An object of beauty, way more pleasant to the eyes than most modern art. Congratulations!

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you 🙏

[@tribestribes2555]

Beautiful resturation.👍 .

[@barthanes1]

Nicely done. Now all that's left is to beat it up as badly as it was originally.

[@jerrymartin7034]

Dude, you’re amazing. You inspired me to recover my Granddad’s stuff to put in my shop as a tribute.

[@zakmburg3581]

Master piece, like every time

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@davidrobinson7667]

Master Craftsmanship 🙂

[@HannuPulli]

That must be some serious grip with those jaws! Truly quality workmanship here.

[@jackmehoff5433]

I really enjoy your attention to detail. It is inspiring to watch you fix these old items up.

[@HotelPapa100]

Collecting vintage mechanical devices can be a vice. But this is a vise.

[@b-wak]

I like how you keep improving. You did a better job here than the Wilton bullet vice. This is a better restoration, better tools, better editing, better lighting - overall, just a better video. Subscribed.

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you so much

[@elickes]

Oh, a fresh Cobbler G video to start my weekend? Yes, please. Toe plates always make shoes look better. That brass style is my favorite. Another well done job, sir!

[@SachsVDE]

Always pleased to watch "Gressel" Vice Restoration..!!👌🌟

[@meinemechaniker]

🙏🏻

[@datsunruss]

One word - fantastic.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@RestorationVideo]

*_Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕_*

[@toxofoz6233]

It is nice to finally see someone who uses the correct arc welder for cast iron. So many try to use mig and tig and they end up melting the cast

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks sir

[@jamesfield5346]

Just like always... beautiful work

[@altairdesouza9368]

First time I whatch a retific process in an restoration process, congratulations!

[@douglasgaither1346]

I really liked that you left the large GRESSEL letters unpainted. I haven't seen that before and it looks outstanding. Great job!

[@vschmidt1406]

Die Arbeiten werden immer besser und besser. Top!

[@meinemechaniker]

Danke

[@meinemechanikerperspektive]

[@mehpekmezci]

No word again! Welcome to your new life old vise. Lucky old vise.

[@meinemechaniker]

🙏🏻 thanks dude

[@RustyBoyCrafts]

The best vise restoration I've ever seen, god bless your hands. 🙏🙏

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you, my friend, aren't you being unfair to my wilton and heuer vice restorations? 😅😅

[@RustyBoyCrafts]

@@meinemechaniker This project is too good to be unfair to them sir ;)

[@churlepatakha]

Only a perfectionist could restore it to this extent. Bravo!!!

[@Dani_-ec4is]

Yes, good work - precise 👍🏻.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

A spectacular restoration.

[@terrynicholls2975]

Another fine piece of work.

[@SAPetrovich]

Шикарная реставрация! Как и все предыдущие Ваши работы!

Benzer içerikle video üreten, takip ettiğim yabancı kanallar var. Onlara 9 sana 10 yıldız, gerçekten başarılı. Sabrını, tekniklerini ve el becerini tebrik ederim. Azaltmadan devam.

[@ranjeetmunjal2006]

Excellent job. 👍

[@Sh300i]

Great job Abé 👌

[@CentralKyBees]

This dude is amazing. Been sitting in the house all day with covid and came up on these vids. New fav youtuber. Dudes a perfectionist!

[@meinemechaniker]

thanks dude. i hope you will recover your health as soon as possible.

[@kh23797]

Also COVID-struck, but this video of _immaculate_ work has taken my mind off the symptoms for a few minutes. To say I'm envious of the skills and workshop kit on display is an understatement. Subscribed, obviously!

[@shedmanx3640]

You are a true craftsman. Your work is always the epitome of perfection.

[@herkleslie4561]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL JOB

[@multipurposechannel385]

This is a piece of art!!! Never see stuff like that!!! Woooooowwww!👍💪

[@dave3156]

What a pleasant surprise today to see you released a new video. Very enjoyable watching you restore something that looks better than new!!!! Great work as usual!!!!

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you for the comment. it satisfies me to create enjoyable times for people.

[@Vikingwerk]

I’m imagining someone who worked for Gressel watching this and thinking “Man, we don’t make them that nice in the factory!”

[@meinemechaniker]

😅🤗

[@MaxHardcoreSLOVAKIA]

it would be great if you restored the big English vice RECORD No.84, or other , in the future. Record vise has a great Quick Release function . and it would be great to make Prismatic and Standard brass or copper vise jaws. that would be a perfect video.

[@baronmeduse]

Lucky really, it could have been even more rusty. Beyond even dégrippant to make it move. Amazing job.

[@cameltanker1286]

Purdy! Good for another 50 years.

[@meinemechaniker]

👌

[@kingoftrading75]

You did an absolutely great job on this one.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you mate

[@Paulo-PCP73]

It's so satisfying to see a job so well done. Congratulations.

[@yunusemredemir6107]

4:57 Çiğ köfte tepsisi çok ayrı bir hava katmış sjsjs 😅 Emeğine sağlık, gerçekten muazzam işçilik. Daha fazla video bekliyorum.

[@Ambidexter143]

That vise had been thoroughly beat up. You made it look like new. Excellent work.

[@nickjanssens]

Truly a first class mechanical engineer, be proud be very proud.

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you so much

[@andreacimolin7371]

...davvero bravissimo! Il migliore!

[@rexeady4325]

I think I’ve seen you restore a Gressel vice before, but a joy to watch another one. Brilliant engineering as usual, great job!

[@oguzhankoca836]

I think 'my mechanics' did it like 2 or 3 years ago.

[@radhaknl]

Awesome work you are always JEM your work

[@jimvinson3792]

Awesome, what a great job! Superb Craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing!

[@joeshomeshop]

Finally, someone that seems to know how to properly weld cast iron, though I hope the hard facing holds up over time. Awesome job on the new jaws, too! You clearly know your way around a lathe, mill, and surface grinder. 🔥🔥🔥

[@meinemechaniker]

thank you so much sir

[@georgeholland8736]

Once again, perfection! That vice is a work of art!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you

[@ismailhakkalpsolak5264]

This is a long awaited piece. Nice work, godspeed.

[@wadesaxton6079]

Nice to see proper pre-heating of casting prior to welding. 👍🏻👍🏻. Good knowledge and skills.

[@asw19B100]

Is the vise cast steel that you could repair w/o brazing or using nickel rod? 3000 more questions to follow..

[@user-qj5bl2vp2q]

Hochwertige Arbeit geleistet, ich habe das Video auf einen Atemzug gesehen, ich mag Ihren Perfektionisten wirklich. Ein riesiges Hallo aus Russland.

[@r.g.sidler9767]

Если вы хотите посмотреть оригинальное видео, вы можете найти его у создателя "my mechanics". "Мои механики" ничего из этого не делали сами!

[@joint831]

Perfect restoration!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks

[@terrystover7365]

What an excellent piece of work. You are a master.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you

[@billwendt9571]

Of all vice restoration videos on KZbin, you are the FIRST PERSON to do EVERYTHING RIGHT! Thank you for your welding skills, grinding skills, attention to detail, lathe and milling skills. Thank you hours of sanding, paint preparation and for using Hammerite paint. I'm so impressed because you are THE ONLY REAL PROFESSIONAL on-line doing fantastic work. Again, Thank You!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much mr. Wendt 🙏🏻

[@PSP2000MAN]

Nah this looks like turd soup compared to the original “my mechanics” build but that’s what you get with a ripoff.

[@KevinCall]

Outstanding job!

[@meinemechaniker]

Thanks Kevin

[@distressor6770]

Absolutely amazing talent

[@rajaronnie5049]

Very nice.. good looking

[@JHK98219]

Truly awesome work

[@eiv-gaming]

I went into this video thinking "This looks simple". I'm man enough to admit I was wrong. Wish you had more videos, only so many times I can binge them. Have an awesome day brother!

[@meinemechaniker]

😊🙏

[@eyeballairvent1248]

Das ist bestimmt schon die dritte Schraubstockrestaurierung, die ich mir hier angeschaut habe. Es war nicht die letzte.

[@balatriste761]

I've been watching your very first videos lately, and today watched this amazing new one. I invite everyone to do the same thing and see the stunning evolution. In everything!!! The skills, the tools, the production... congratulations, sir. Your work is on the top.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@raafiqabrahams5170]

You are an artist my friend, 35 minutes well spent

[@airnashville3883]

All I know to say is Bravo sir!
