Very Rusty Huge Vise - Perfect Restoration

This vise is an heirloom from my subscriber's craftsman father. It was waiting to be restored for 20 years in a warehouse and he asked me to restore it. It was very rusty, dirty, and rotten. The vise jaws were rotten and all the pins were stuck. This is my first time encountering the "YUNG" brand,
I searched about the company but couldn't find anything, rumor has it it's a Chinese brand, I think the nice vise is pretty solid and heavy. I made the new smooth jaws from 2344 steel,
I painted it with sweet blue paint and added nice touches of brass because brass adds an authentic air.
I restored a meaningful memory to my subscriber...
I hope you like my work and my video.

I like this video for a few reasons! 1. It's really a rusty piece. Not just left in the garden mud for a week. 2. You don't have all the fancy equipment. You use logical and practical things to get the job done. 3. It looked like it was hard work! Well done sir!

[@unkjason]

My man. You did 1000% better than I could or would even attempt. That being said. If you're going to say it's a perfect restoration. You should see either my mechanics, or mister patina.

[@PeacemakerT1]

Nicely done :) To help with TIG welding make sure you get correct gas flow and in case of "bubbling" when welding mild steel try and use stainless steel filler rod (helps with dropping temperature if mild steel overheats what causing "bubbling"). I'm usually wrapping cable around my hand once so it doesn't pull my hand down so I can keep more consistent weld and proper support for your hand helps a lot. Check if you got HF setting on your machine as I think you have "contact" set up so you starting and right away sticking your tungsten onto the job. Those vise are made out of cast iron which should be welded with proper electrodes or MIG (as 2nd option) since welds done with TIG are prone to crack really fast. Also for your own safety ditch gloves when working on lathe, please. Basic safety rule got "no gloves or loose sleeves" policy while working with these machines.

Anyone who can take on a challenge like that...I must subscribe to. "Repurposing" today is King. The sense of pride in seeing (and using) that tool is priceless. Don't allow the doubters below keep you from bringing back life into a forgotten utilitarian piece like that. I took on a miniature vise like that many years ago, and it was so precious to me that I had it mounted onto a nice chunk of black walnut for my desk. It never ceases to bring a smile to my face. Great work !!!

When using electrolysis, try not to use salt. It breaks NaCl bond of salt and form toxic chlorine gas. Baking Soda will work as well with no poison gas.

[@joshy.4241]

Great Job. To improve your TIG welding, hold your TIG torch more perpendicular to your work - think 90 degrees with 20 degrees of tilt or so. The torch heats the material and the rod is to "fill" the void the heat creates.

[@mariotenbroeck2933]

Hey you did a really good job 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@mikehutchison9589]

Beautiful job.

[@stearman456]

Nice job. Referencing the 14 minute mark, you’ll get much better threads and you’re tool will last much longer if after every turn forward you reverse your tap about half to two thirds of a turn to clear your chips. And always use a lubricant. Margarine or even water if that’s all you have but turning threads dry and not clearing your tap is asking for a broken tap stuck in your hole.

Electrolysis didnt really seem to do much - might be worth using baking soda in future. Probs wouldve been a good shout to wire brush all the loose crap off it first, looks like thats mostly the loose debris floating to the surface. Im also fairly surely TIG isnt supposed to spark like that... but you did a good job with what seemed to be a fairly low/mass production vice. Also tap with 2 hands, 1 hand is how you break it and spend an afternoon swearing at it. Speaking from experience here 😂

The only part I didn't like was Rusty Boy using filler. It's a tool not a Rolls Royce! Oh and stop using gloves around spinning lathes you could lose arm or a hand if your glove gets caught while the lathe is spining! We don't wanna see you get hurt so be safe bro!

[@nicodemus7784]

Great job on the restoration; and a workshop filled with some excellent tools. It’s always a pleasure to watch something that’s so damaged being brought back to life and almost new. However, if it was me, I think I would have thrown the old vise out and bought a new one. Not one for having patience. But the point is it was an incredible restoration, and very entertaining to watch. Good video.

I enjoyed your video. Restoring the vice to a usable state is an effort. I disagree with the viewers who called it a pig. Perhaps they have never used a vice for it's intended purpose.

Хорошая работа, отличное оснащение мастерской. По самому видео могу сказать, что на мой взгляд немного затянуто вступление: нет никакого смысла показывать ржавые детали несколько минут, 30-40 секунд вполне достаточно, тем более что и процесс разборки показан довольно подробно и в финале довольно много кадров сравнения что было и что стало. По самой проделанной работе возник вопрос: после фрезеровки площадка наковальни, заходящая на губку тисков выглядит совсем не эстетично, Это так и задумывалось или не было времени/желания придавать плавные линии этой части? Ещё небольшое замечание по шпаклёвке, проделана большая работа, столько сил вложено и в итоге мы имеем хороший результат, но почему нельзя было зашпаклевать всю поверхность гладко под один уровень? Только этот момень не даёт поставить работе отличную оценку, ограничивая её как просто хорошо.
