Pro-painter tip: especially when working from rattle-cans, the next coat should always be applied BEFORE the last coat has completely dried for the best bonding between coats...this effectively makes one stronger, thicker coat instead of layers of paint. Paint should appear dry to the eye before the next coat. It is still wet and accepting of the bond of the newly-sprayed layer. Cheers.

If they miss the window you are talking about the paint could alligator. Shooting a coat too late will cause problems. I was shooting an old tool box. Primer went on no problem. Shot a coat of paint and let it dry over night thinking that was the thing to do. Shot another coat and instantly alligatored. Chalked it up to contamination on the surface. Prepped it again afte repeating this with same issues I decided to read the can. If you do not apply another coat within 2 hours then you have to wait 48 hours. So not only does it increase the bond but also avoids other issues. Your point is crucial with rattle cans. When gassing off it forces its way through .

Interesting comments regarding your commentary. I generally prefer no commentary and was a bit disappointed at the beginning but soon changed my mind totally. I was very pleased to hear you explain what you were doing and why you were doing it. And without extraneous waffle, too. I'm not likely to restore anything like that but I'm glad I know something of what to do. Just in case. And the vice (as we spell it over here) turned out beautifully. You have every reason to be proud of what you've done and pleased with the result. Now I'm off to check out your other vids. Cheers!

Beautiful refurbishment! With the wood jaws, you could have sand cast brass jaws from old plumbing fittings or cartridge cases rather than machine away your expensive brass barstock. I'm set up for casting, not machining, so my mind went that way as soon as I saw your wooden forms. And, an adjustable box wrench will grab that bottom bolt very efficiently. I'm restoring a Parker #435, and the adjustable box wrench has been super handy.

Beautiful job! Great, informative video. I have the same vise, found it at a flea market years ago. Fortunately mine wasn’t as badly abused-just took it apart, degreased it, wirewheeled all the old paint off, masked and painted it with Rustoleum, then greased and reassembled it. I didn’t have to mess with the soft jaws. It’s given me great service ever since. It’s a beast!

I just restored this same vise. Mine had a couple of broken parts that I repaired with silicon bronze brazing rod and a tig torch. I used a thrust bearing behind the screw handle which helps it operate a little smoother. It's a great old vise, well worth the effort. Great job on your vise.

I am sure it is nearing 75 to 100 years old. Erie Tool Works Erie Pa Superior No 44 with 4" jaws I beat the hell out of it and still do. I put one small chip in the steel jaw. Still it works great.

It has been a year since you posted the video so you likely won't see this. You made life SO much harder on yourself. You have a mill, you used it to rough the jaws, why didn't you use the mill to clean up the vise jaw locating surfaces themselves??? Starting from a good surface rather than a hand ground surface would have been so much faster and better in the end. To square the faces, a block of wood between the ram and base but under the jaws would have torqued the vise into alignment and mill the jaws square to themselves. I have an old Parker about twice the size of yours and one of the origional jaws was welded in. It was not worth the trouble to take it off just to reinstall it with pins. I simply squared as I said here and it has worked perfectly ever since.

Great restoration, I do a lot of vise resto's. I had a Chase Parker like that missing the Jaws, luckily not welded up like yours. I took mine put the whole vise on the mill and milled the angle off. As it's wasn't going to be a restoration it was going to be a usable Vise and made steel and copper Jaws for it. Then we use tapered pins to put them on.
