Rusty old Woden vice restored

Watch today as we restore a rusty old Woden bench vice.

I’ve competed this for a friend of mine, she recently moved into a new house and this little rusty gem was sat in the garage, I persuaded her to let me have it and I got to work restoring it.
Woden is a British made vice, they stopped being made in the early 70’s so this vice is upwards of 50 years old!

Hi Stu, Thanks for taking the old lawnmower of Mr Phil Whitley, he has just told me you have relieved him of it and is moving on to the Holbrook lathe, that Ive been giving him some stick about next week. Just subbed, Del.

[@stusrestohut858]

Hi! You’re welcome! I’m hoping to get it restored for the channel pretty soon, I want to try and cut my grass with it this year. Fingers crossed, I’m sure you’ll see it soon enough on here. Thanks for the sub! Stu.

Great work! I have one and I am restoring it. I will go paint of green too and I hope that it is same yours. Congratulations!

[@stusrestohut858]

Thank you! You’ll have to send some pics over when you’ve done it. Find me on Facebook and let me know how it’s going! The green is absolutely stunning, it’s Vauxhall Rio Verde for your information.

[@peterbeley3067]

Stu your camera is vibrating I think you should mount it elsewhere than it is now

[@stusrestohut858]

Thank you for the comments, yes it is, I’ve been looking for another solution, I can’t seem to stop the vibration in some scenes unfortunately.

[@janettavculek9308]

It could have used a little more grinding around the jaws and top to get more of the pitting out. Nice job.

[@stusrestohut858]

Thanks for the comments! As always there’s only so far you can go with a restoration before it’s brand new and also budget constraints from the customer too!

[@landcruiserde]

Very good job but welding the broken part would be better ....

[@stusrestohut858]

Thank you! I would have liked to have welded it but I just don’t have the facility currently to weld cast, hopefully in the future I will be able to.

[@انسان-ق6ح]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stusrestohut858]

Thank you!

[@Peter-976]

File in one direction only.

[@stusrestohut858]

Thanks for the comment, I have to disagree, I file in different directions so I can see where I’ve been and how much metal I’m taking off.

[@Barney_617]

You spelt "wooden" wrong! 😅🙄 Cracking job mate, nice little vice that.

[@stusrestohut858]

😂😂😂😂 brilliant!!

[@TheDrumminjay]

Epoxy to hold metal together?

[@stusrestohut858]

Yeah, it’s been absolutely fine. In an ideal world I would have welded it but the person I did it for doesn’t use it for heavy work so the repair I did will be good for years to come.

[@TheDrumminjay]

@@stusrestohut858 well, I suppose if it's holding up then 'ell yea. Good work though, and thanks for the vid

[@sergeyfedorenko1433]

Почистил, покрасил, залакировал, отполировал тиски не значит восстановил. Губки изношены, не сходятся, смысл делать воронение и потом ещё несколько раз маслом смазывать тем более ручку. Красиво? - да. Восстановил? - нет.

[@stusrestohut858]

I guess we all have different versions of what we call restored. My preference is to make them look great, so good paint, no rust but leave the patina otherwise you’re wiping away the history of the product. Thanks for the comments.

[@feri-ys1480]

Bolehkah saya diberi alat ini,saya tidak mampu untuk membelinya..🙏
