Excellent innovative way to compress spring. Well done.

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments! ☺️🙏

Well, believe it or not, I was just given one of these vices! Yeah, rusty, but solid. Your video will be the bible I follow to get this back up and running. Ps, this vice I have was once used by George Daniels, the God of watch making! I shall clean it up and cherish it.

[@RustisGold]

Nice!! Good luck with your restoration! 😊👍 I was also lucky, a friend of mine gave me this vice! It belonged to his father who used to be a mechanic. 😊

[@qivarebil2149]

I have one myself, and was wondering how to get the nut out of there. Now I know, thanks to You! 🤩👍

[@RustisGold]

I am glad my video helped you! 😊👍

Ficou muito boa sua reforma, simples e direta para uma ferramenta que foi e vai continuar sendo usada, como a minha... Outras reformas que vi dessa morsa parecia que eram itens de colecionador e ia ficar exposta em um museu. Um abraço do Brasil

[@RustisGold]

Muito obrigado por seus comentários! Estou feliz que você gostou! Saudações da Grécia! 🇬🇷😊👍

Love this restoration! When I was a child, if I was ever in the garage with my dad, I would play with his for hours. Turning this way than that way over and over. His has round balls on it. But the same otherwise, as far as I can tell!

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments! Glad you liked it and glad it brought back nice memories of your childhood... 😊👍👍

[@nathanthunderstorm7740]

First like then the video. Lucky to be the first one. Great as usual on trust. 😁

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much!!!! That was fast!!! 😄👍👍

I have exactly this model vise. In exactly that same kind of rusty mess, rescued from the back of my Father-in-law's leaky old shed. I've been persevering with it for years, but now I HAVE TO do this to it. Which specific blue paint did you use?

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments, sorry for the late reply... I just used an ordinary, but good quality, spray paint for metal surfaces. Before that as you saw I applied a metal primer... 😊👍

[@mikeboyd1961]

Paragon Coach enamel is a very nice paint. The correct colour for Record tools is BS381C 110 Roundel Blue. As in the RAF Roundel blue colour. In practise Record used all sorts of other colours. I’ve heard which ever was cheapest at the time was used. I hand paint starting with a zinc phosphate primer. Two coats of enamel. I rub down between each coat and finish with a heavy duty polyurethane lacquer which I spray on. Hope that helps.

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for the info! 😊👍

[@surfgreen34]

Could you give me please the references of the paints used, the blue and the silver for the letters (ral number ?) I have an Irwin Record n°3 which looks very similar. Very good job ! Thank you very much

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments. Unfortunately I don't have the Ral Numbers... I didn't keep a record. My mistake... Sorry

[@franciscovillarroel7558]

Que acero es ?? Sera buena calidad? Por que tengo el mismo lo compre hoy

[@RustisGold]

I don't know what steel it is... It is good quality. Very good vise

[@restorecreate]

Very nice job mate,where did you find this vice ...? the trick with the spring and the wire I had never thought of...well done Mike !

[@RustisGold]

Thanks bro! A friend of mine gave it to me. It belonged to his father who was a mechanic. It's huge and heavy! The trick with the spring and the wire I saw it on KZbin! I didn't have the proper tool for this job so I did a little research! 😊👍

[@soulis1000]

Time for a new video my friend!

[@RustisGold]

I know my friend... I had no time... I had to deal with some serious issues with my mother's health... I have started a new project. I hope I'll finish it by September.

Nice job there... Love the wire on the spring thing.. but on putting it back together, I would of given it a light smear of grease, on the thread & runners.. it would move in and out smooth as glass.. 😉👍

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments! Glad you liked it. Believe me, I put grease in all parts of the vise. I just didn't want the video to be long and boring... 😊👍

[@maplebones]

@@RustisGold It was long and boring.

[@RustisGold]

@@maplebones oh well... Can't make everyone happy...

[@426superbee4]

That not in bad shape. he hee what mine looks like. Just throw some oil on its moving parts and cover it up ~ it will out last me 😆

[@RustisGold]

😄😄👍👍👍

[@absolute___zero]

no electrolysis this time?

[@RustisGold]

No...not this time! 😊👍

[@kenparnell4297]

This was more a clean and repaint rather than a full blown restoration. Kudos on using primer and paint for the repaint but you lost serious points for not removing all the old paint prior to repainting. Yeah, yeah, people think it doesn't matter, those people are fools, it matters greatly. I'll give you a good effort but that's it really. Granted bad restoration is better than no restoration.

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments! The paint which was not removed was in areas of the vise that I didn't think it was worth spending time to remove. Anyways I am happy about the outcome. 2 years after the restoration and it still looks great! 😊👍
