Love the vice, happy Thanksgiving.

[@rustysteed8414]

Enjoyed visiting with you at GOTL. I'm glad you liked the margaritas, and thanks for helping pass them out. Look forward to seeing you again.

[@jtkilroy]

I had a great time Rusty, looking forward to occupying my seat on the trailer at the next event. Speaking of, is there a web site for the facility that shows upcoming events?

[@rustysteed8414]

@@jtkilroy Texasedtea.org is the club website. The big show next year will be October 2 & 3, 2020. We will have a small get together April 17 & 18 that you are more than welcome to attend. Margaritas and real ice cream will be served!

Thanks for this video . I have one of these universal vises, too that I bought 40 years ago at auction -- no identification tag . I noticed that Adam Booth has one too . Thanks to FernandoP81 we now have identification . I'm a brand new subscriber to your channel ...... I have some catching-up to do !

[@k.s.1871]

Gary, over at his "Old Iron Machine Works" channel has a parts washer you may really like . it's a "small" Precision Metal Works unit that he picked up used ( not really affordable new for most shops, and not exactly compact). It's heated, water-based with considerably high pressure, but seems to do an outstanding job ! Being water-base, it leaves a light dusting of oxide when the parts dry, but that knocks off with no harm . It's not for everyone, but quite an impressive unit .

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great find. Looks of good quality. Thank you

[@RaysGarage]

Hey J, Great hanging out with you at The GOTL Fest, you did a awesome job with the Shars Meteorology Hands On Exhibit! You are 100% correct about the CRC SmartWasher it works amazing! I love that vise, it's going to be a great addition to your shop!

[@jtkilroy]

I was mind blown! Having spent MANY hours in front of a parts washer, I wasn't expecting much, but boy I was wrong.

[@rfnoise]

Always enjoy your videos! Thanks.

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed the visit, vise will solve future setup!

[@markmuranyi9289]

James. The vise is a Universal Vise and Tool. I also own one. They came in different sizes but I believe ours are the larger one.

[@jtkilroy]

Thanks, I will see what kind of information I can track down on it.

[@markmuranyi9289]

@@jtkilroy James. Just google it and lots of pictures and info come up on their vices. I believe they were made in Michigan some place.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice vise, worth restoring.

[@gertskjlstrup1804]

Hi. At 19:06 just after you mentioned putting in an oiler, it looks like there allready is one broken off. take a look at it

[@georgeswindoll9138]

I love old tools, made with quality by true Craftsmen!!!!!

[@josephlovell6951]

Had A-blast hanging out with you have to go to land fast James hope to see you again

[@georgeswindoll9138]

That seems like a very well made video!!!!

[@larryshaw796]

I guess we are all surprised occasionally by things we've never seen before but this thing is wonderful and whoever invented it was a true genius. It must have been one of those necessity is the mother of invention things you know.anyway cool project thanks.

[@jtkilroy]

No doubt, it is an intricate design, for a vise.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

That will be a nice vice when it's sorted . Cheers .

[@MCEngineeringInc]

Cool vise!👍🏻

[@danmetzger5583]

Always look forward to your vids Jay! Wish I could have been at the GOTL again this year but from the vids the new place may be too big for me to get around in. I have serious mobility problems so the Bash is more my speed I think. Hoping to see ya there in 2020!!! Say hi to Christi and the kids for me.

[@jtkilroy]

Will do Dan, I hope your recovery goes well.

[@danmetzger5583]

@@jtkilroy Thanks.....it is. Loving life these days hanging with my grandkids. I am going to need a new Kilroy tee though or my life will not be complete! The old one has holes in it. Please let me know how I can purchase one. By the way....Nice Vise Dude!

[@markcostello5118]

I have the same looking vise. Mine must be older as It does not have the nice easy to read scales. The tag is missing and no name evident.

[@turbocobra]

I popped a couple ritalin pills and kicked back for some ADHD... that vise is so cool, it wouldn't take very much smooth talk to convince a fella to buy something like that. Video suggestion... when you get a chance make a dedicated video showing the history of your shop, and give us an update on the status of your plans for it

[@bcbloc02]

Sure would be cool to see those monster engines from the Spraque added to that collection!

[@bigun447]

Yes, it would. A pair of 63' bore X 12' stroke condensing engines producing 9 strokes a minute at full ahead output would be impressive. Have been to Vicksburg and seen the capstans, and remains of the paddlewheel. I built and still have a loosely modeled the Sprague, 5' long Radio Controlled working model and some barges.

[@bcbloc02]

@@bigun447 From what I have seen the engines were as of earlier this year laying in a pile down by the river. I sure hope they don't go to scrap!!!

[@jtkilroy]

@@bigun447 I would love to see that! Are you in the area? My email is at the end of the video, please feel free to contact me.

[@barrygerbracht5077]

You have to have an unbelievable amount of cruddy parts to wash to make the CRC smart washer worthwhile. Most people could throw out the dirty parts and buy new ones for less money. Anyone interested has already looked up the price, so no point in rehashing the obvious.. I think a larger ultrasonic cleaner would be more interesting and economical unless you are washing engine parts. Cool vise though.

[@jtkilroy]

A larger ultrasonic cleaner would be neat, but I have never seen any bigger than lunch box sized that weren't huge money.

[@barrygerbracht5077]

@@jtkilroy I can get a 30L unit off amazon for $725 canadian. That is a sizeable unit for about 1/5 the price of the Smartwasher, and you don't need to spend $1000 on mats and ozzyjuice to use it. I've never used one though, so I don't know how well they work.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

I’m hoping someone will tell you who made your vise. I have the exact same vise but mine only has a government tag on it. But they are very cool vices. I Enjoy your videos Gary

[@jtkilroy]

Check the post from Mark Muranyi.

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

A lot of times the hardened crusty grunge [old dried oil, coolant, ect.] saves the tool from rusting and seizing up, great vise restore!

[@evdoby]

Didn't Pierre's Garage repair a Wilton three axis vise similar to yours?

[@jtkilroy]

Correct, similar in function, but different in execution.

[@timw2407]

swarf … grunge ! … how about my favorite … snard !

[@johndebrular979]

It would be nice if the creator of the channel would put their location some place. Not necessarily their street address or even the city. Maybe something like S.E Georgia.

[@jtkilroy]

Check the about section in my channel

[@chrisbertrand4925]

I was forced to buy the other angle vise Andrew had since you like to come to other people’s states and buy up all the good vises.

[@edwardwilson990]

Hey CRC, cough up a Smart Washer for James. You won't find a more deserving soul. If you do I might consider buying one for my son's tool restoration business.

[@ypop417]

Nice Vice

[@ccrider5398]

What was that machine at the beginning of the video?

[@Tools4Machines]

Corliss Steam Engine.

[@jtkilroy]

Is that a beauty or what? I could pull up a recliner and just watch that like a Television!

[@bmlennox]

did you or your kids participate in Service over Self?

I have every year for the past ten-ish years. I work in the kitchen feeding the hundred or so folks involved.
