Rusty Record no 5 Vice Restoration

[@Ceruleansins55]

I just warched this while in the doctor's waiting room. With the volume up. Thank you SO much for the bit at 4:25 , earned me some looks. Great video!

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Ahah ahah that made my day, I’m proper laughing. Glad you liked it.

[@rivolinho]

Great video. My late father was a fitter and mechanic in the 60s/70s and when a factory he worked in closed, he brought his Record No5 vice home with him. Its working well but looking worse for wear. I'm going to give it the treatment in his honour.

[@stevewoodward7850]

Going to do the same with my Great Uncle Earnests vice too.

[@kaicheese]

Just finished restoring my Granfather's vice using this video. Thanks so much!

[@roomtempredbull172]

I came down here to read the comments about him holding a Record vise inside of another Record vise but since no one else commented about it I guess I will. Great Video!

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you for you comment. Put a smile on my face

[@thomasthompson6799]

Excellent attention to detail without being obsessive and making this great old vise too pretty to use. Ready for another lifetime of service. Great job!

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you.

That’s my aim, I don’t have the fancy stuff but that isn’t an excuse not to try.

[@GeorgeWMays]

I really, really like watching other people work. :-) Nice job. I like that color. Thanks for sharing.

I bought my Record number 5 new decades ago, i keep all my tools clean and well oiled. It's interesting to see whats inside it via your good video. Yours came up really well, good job. Tony, Australia.

A Sheffield made Record no.5, very nice indeed. Used to live in Sheffield and worked across the road from Record, the floor of the office shook from the forging hammers 😁.

Yes sir, only the best. Thanks for sharing your experience, I love hearing stories like this.

[@garymucher9590]

Very nice restoration job. Every shop has to have a vice... Thumbs Up!

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. I agree, every step does need a vice, and some shops need more than one. I currently have 6 vices and another 3 that need restoring. One of which will be on the channel when I get round to it.

Jesus, that's just a simple clean and repaint. Great job, I'm a fan of two primers and one paint but that's me. Good job.

I’ve just come into procession of the exact same record vice from a very generous friend in a pretty similar condition. I saw your video before I got it and now I’m planning on the same restoration. Can you send me the tools and products you used? That would be really really helpful. Also, anything to look out for or be careful of would also be great. Hopefully you read this message. Your video inspired me to do the restoration in the first place!! 😃

1st Congrats on doing a sterling job. I got my old Record No 6 today from a school workshop sale. It is not as bad a condition as yours but a resto after many years of working is not a bad idea I think. The paint on mine is almost gone in any ways. btw: I hope you have more resto projects coming in the future. Awesome work sir.

[@randallsears1253]

Beautiful restoration! You have inspired me to fix up my old vise. Oddly, I never realized how lovely these vises look after restoration. By the way, who makes that spring retraction tool? It looks quite handy.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

The tool doesn’t have a brand name. It’s just a valve spring compressor. Saves a lot of pain pulling that spring back by hand.

[@beaker2000]

That is a beauty!

[@TheUlrikkaul]

Well done! Now you need to do a Peddinghaus vise. That's my favotite.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

[@martianmanhunter7925]

Can you please list all the products used in the restoration of the vise it's certainly helps me a lot and others as well.

[@boastyy]

Great job mate and attention to detail. Have you thought of using electrolysis for removing the rust. I have got some old tools with rust and am going to try it with battery charger and baking soda , seems to remove more rust than the white vinegar and more cost effective.Thanks for the upload subscribed!

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

I will try it one day.

[@nickyork8901]

I used the Hammerite rust remover gel (citric acid based), it's effective but relatively kind to the user and environment. Didn't need much as you can paint it on just where you need it. There is a great guy on E bay who sells Record refurb kits for the vice jaws and other bits, including paint.

[@homer009x]

Nice restore, some comments: 1- the cotter pin retaining the spring should be a solid pin instead, must have gotten replaced at some point 2- why did you round off the jaws like that? the vice is meant to have sharp square jaws 3- the white lettering is not the originals, but a nice touch if you like that sort of thing.

[@opcentre]

Nextdoor neighbours just thrown out a No 5 , watched your video and now I have a gleaming No5 but black as I didn't have any blue .

[@jim-zb2kb]

Awsome! But personally i wouldn't have rounded over the jaws so much as sometimes you just need to use the corners.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Glad you liked it.

[@gearjammer4779]

I soaked a logging chain, 2 hammers, some rusty pliers, and a wire brush in white vinegar for 1 week. I’d never done it before. When I removed everything the chain was fine, the pliers were fine, both hammers had tiny splits in the head, and the wires on the brush had completely dissolved leaving only the handle. I never realized vinegar was that powerful. 🤷‍♂️

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

It’s surprising how strong this stuff is. I’ve lost things before. I only leave soak for up to 2 days now. And I keep an eye on thin metal.

[@hpevans9041]

Hello, I really enjoyed the excellent restoration. Could you tell me why you soaked the vice in vinegar for two days? Thanks

[@michael7324]

Vinegar removes rust. I do it all the time when I do tool restores. My wife is not happy about it but oh well...

[@swartpeter5995]

Straight forward no fussing , well done job man! What kind of blue paint did you use may I ask?

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you very much. I used Hammerite smooth blue paint.

[@swartpeter5995]

Cheers mate and take care, may God bless you

[@laughinghyena001]

OUTSTANDING!

[@nmhbrooklands]

Liked and Subbed! That is a great restoration. I have 3 to do and I hope they come out as good as this. I was debating on putting white on the lettering as that is not standard but it looks really good and I'll accept it as an improvement. Good colour match on the blue as well, did you use BS381C 110 Roundel Blue? Consider putting some rubber washers on each end of the tommy bar to stop the clang (and finger pinching!). What size bolt thread did you use for the vice jaws?

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thank you. I used Hammerite smooth blue. Is the colour code you mentioned the original record blue. I have a number 6 that needs restoring and I want it to be an even purer Restoration. As for the bolts, I took the original to a hardware supplier and they matched the thread. I’m not sure exactly what size.

[@nmhbrooklands]

Yes, Roundel Blue or BS381C 110 is the exact colour for Record vices and G clamps. www.paragonpaints.co.uk/BS381C-110-Roundel-Blue-Record-Vice-Blue.html

[@naveedkhan328]

What tool are you using ro hammer and remove the screw at 2’28” ? Great demonstration. Thanks.

[@robgit]

Great to watch - I’m half way through restoration what colour blue paint did you use and what size screws for jaws/ where to buy?

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Hi. The paint is Hammerite blue. As for the screw size I took my original screws to a hardware supplier and they matched the threads.

[@g.n.6471]

Is there a rebuild kit available for this vice? I’m rebuilding my dads and it has a bent spring.

[@tyik]

The problem with my vise is the jaws could not fully open. I could not find anything in KZbin. Is it likely that the pin inserted into the threaded rod was broken? Mine is not a Record brand. Will they be in similar construction? Thank you for your help.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Hi, it’s a valve spring compressor. I found this at a boot sale and immediately knew I could use it on vices. Check out eBay, there are many different types.

Hey - a couple of questions. I have a No 7 but can't find new jaw inserts (and the ones on the vise are pretty shattered) any ideas as Irwin doesn't make the No7 any more (worst case is I make my own). Secondly - what are the jaw insert screw threads and finally - how does the stopper on the lever attach? My lever is a bit bent and I wonder if the caps screw off. Thx Mike

[@c.p3425]

Look on ebay UK, someone is making the jaws for most vices but they`re not cheap. The caps do not unscrew they were formed after inserted, you can get these new (copies) using screw on nuts each end, also expensive.
