Putting in all the time and effort working like this on a vice always makes you think twice before abusing it in any way.

Keep this in mind people who are DIYers, this is an excellent way to get cheap tools. You don't have to restore them as good as he does, just clean them up and make sure they work. My uncle used to buy semi junk tools at auction and fix them up. If he couldn't make it work he had a couple of buddies who would help him. He had a shop full of tools you would think he paid thousands for. Most were only a couple hundred or less. Nice machines from the 30s, 40s, 50s, the good heavy duty stuff. Drill presses, a small lathe, band saws. None of them worked when he got them. Now he can build almost anything out of wood.

The paint was a nice touch. It looked great. At the end you were able too crank the vice all the way in and out using just your finger. The restoration was flawless. Also, your English is very good.

I just watched this for the second time at 3am. During this 17 minute video, all my troubles were gone. I think I have watched all your videos now. Please make more!

[@MichaelLivingston-me]

I've found that if I'm patient, I take these rusty, valuable items and let them soak for 1-2 weeks in automatic transmission fluid. Pour enough of it in a bucket and allow the vise (or any rusty item) to be completely immersed in ATF. After a week or two, you won't have to pound or struggle greatly to get the parts separated. Good video. Thanks for posting.

[@CR3W1SH03S]

A better recipe is 1/2 ATF and 1/2 Acetone. Works better then any rust penetrant I've seen.

Well done. Thank you for doing this restoration and showing the stages you had to go through. I wish I still had some of my father’s old tools that I would love to restore like this.

Wow, I said earlier that the air hammer/riveting tool was the coolest one but the more I watch the more I become Indecisive... I will just say your skills are amazing and the things you restore compliment your skills very well. I wish I could send you some neat things I have from my great grand parents collection of antique things. I live in the original home place that was built in 1824 along with the grounds that have been untouched in as long. So in almost 200 years the generations that have come and gone and the things we’ve amassed are amazing. We have several barns, building, and even the home full of things from centuries ago.

[@ProfRonconi]

Wow! A new Gressel vice! That's worth about 600 euros. Of course, the time and knowledge you put into this restoration are worth far more.

[@billydawson1245]

That’s one of the finest tool restorations I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@garyjones2582]

You will always get the best from M.M... He's the master... ck out his tire inflation gauge if you haven't seen it...

[@Meldium]

I have seen many restoration videos on KZbin. But one thing I have to say is that you clearly put your hands to work on this one here. IMHO The best Restoration I have ever seen. Well worth the work. These devices go for a pretty penny brand new and at this restoration point. You got your time well spent and worth the effort with the evidence to back it up as proof or Restoration. The other thing I have to say is… Your hands and skin texture says you’re young still. Means Lots of Restoration more to go in your life. Awesome is not the word I’m looking for with this video. Pristine craftsmanship is still not enough. Just keep doing what you do man. At this point you have lots to go and lots more to show us. High 5!

[@SyenPie]

Watching old things transform back to new again is like watching art being created 🛠

[@newperspective4252]

"Like" art being created, it "is" a form of art!

[@danwest298]

[@EagleMitch]

This is 100% art. If this was just for function it would be MUCH cheaper / far less time to toss it in the recycle bin and buy a new one. This guy did a better job than the factory does with these things.

[@MonthlyCramps]

@@EagleMitch I looked at the price of this vice and determined that I too would have spent the energy to restore it.

[@hulkslayer626]

That was one of the most beautiful videos I have seen! Restoring beautiful old tools speaks to my very soul!

[@jonnygeez]

I love the methodical way that you work, like you are enjoying every process, rather than just finishing them to complete the task...(Buddhists would say you are "living in the moment") really lovely to watch. I hope it provides as much satisfaction for you.

[@AfroMan187]

When industrialized society falls and we are all forced to live like Mad Max, foraging and restoring old equipment, you will be a god among men.

[@draconpost]

The irony of it all is that it will be worth restoring 40 year old equipment because the ones they made nowadays last 5 years and are not worth fixing when broken. I myself buy old used tools, not only they are cheap, but they are also better quality, and it's safer to use 20 year old tools than the ones they make nowadays.

[@pbhj]

Maybe people were expecting to be able to restore a vice for themselves? No-one who would need to restore a vice could afford all the equipment used. There's a real dichotomy between the practical skills and the complete impracticality of it all. Nonetheless for me it was an enjoyable video.
