Nice work!

Excelent job. Those things are indeed meant to last more than a lifetime.. Cheers!

I have Servex press in my home workshop don’t use it a lot but when I don’t it is awesome. When we used to make stuff Aussie quality.

Awesome restoration John and I like the yellow. I restored a Wade hydraulic press, made in Australia, and it was dark blue when I got it but guess what colour I painted it? Yellow😂. Cheers, Stuart. Canberra.

Great practical restoration. How could I not subscribe. Subbed here!

Very nice job, it had some problems but you sorted them out and it will now last for years.🇦🇺

Great video mate. You’ve done a ripper job!

Nice restoration job John. I have a Servex 30tn press, a baby brother to yours and it was good to see the ram stripped down. Fortunately mine still has the original red paintwork and is in great condition considering its age. In my hobby shop, I use it quite a lot for all sorts of jobs; it’s such a versatile piece of gear. I’m sure you will find lots of jobs to use yours on to. Before the modern Enerpac presses, I think Servex were the Rolls Royce of Australian presses.

Hey, John! Good to see another project post (Gordon, your erstwhile neighbour). As for the lack of music - I prefer it. Music, especially the *wrong* music, is distracting.

Good job, very interesting mill as well….pap is a hard worker. Thanx for the video..

awsome,guy,s enjoyed this much

😮. That's awesome to see a piece of history. Awesome

Nicely done!! I have one gifted to me by a friend. It is functional, but needs some love for sure. I am going to clean it up much like you did. I am however lucky it looks 100% complete.

Nice job .

Damn that’s cool, this is how you restore a tool, good job😊

Find it frustrating not seeing if you re- treated the spring after annealing it with the torch to bend

Looks good. I bought a new Kanca 6". Much easier and it is welded. Im not a fan of wedges that might come loose during use. I prefer bolted and welded joints. If you do any smithing at all the vise is a crucial tool. Forge On!

Nice work. I subbed you.

muy buen trabajo gracias por compartir, me dio muchas ideas saludos

Muy bueno,👌👍👍,pero yo pondría un pié macizo,el peso extra es muy necesario en un tornillo de banco.

Каким маслом после обжига обработали?

All you did was clean the rust off, Why do you need to clean the rust off?

Thanks for posting this video as i need to replace the mounting bracket and was not looking forward to the amount of forge welding that was ahead for this project i still have some work forging the part that goes around the leg and spring I'm using 12mm x 40mm steel I'll still have some forging as I'm looking too make the split mounting bracket

Just found your videos. Good stuff! Looking forward to more and hope it works out well for you!

Did you have to add weight to the stand? Also how long is the leg that goes to the ground, the one I have is missing most of leg.

Hey John, nice project and result! I have an exact same leg vice in my shop here in tbe Netherlands, exact duplicate. The only makers mark I found was a small anchor and "Amsterdam" stamped next to it. Do you know more about the origins of your vice?

A buddy found one of these on a road trip, and required $ 40.00 to leave it. Have an Ash stump pre installed in work area. Love the burned oil finish, just what I need!

Awesome

Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work sir. Keep Making. God bless.

Awesome and you are right mine is missing that as well. I do not have the equipment yet to work the metal that I need to yet.

What is the angle on that spring I can't seem to get mine to the right angle

That vice and stand turned out beautifully

Your old man is a Legend

If you new in the game of smithing I'd recommend watching John from Black Bear Forge. Need more Aussies in the game. I appreciate you. Keep up the great content!!!

this is sick!

Great Job!

sangat bagus rakitanya bosd,,, sukses selalu seperjuangan di kayu 😊👍👍❤🙏🙏

Nice Train the land looks a lot like here in east coast Canada.Hope to visit Australia some time in the future leigh

sacrée belle restauration ! L'outil était déjà magnifique, et tu a réussi a le sublimer d'avantage, merci pour la vidéo =]

Nice job. I would be wary of that spring though. You are right about the box and screw being the high-wear parts. They are a better sign to look at than the handle when checking out an old post vice. That spring is going to put a lot of unnecessary and pointless wear on both the screw and box. Most of those old vices have little to nothing acting as a spring, and they work fine. I have used mine for 30 years with a spring that did nothing. Have fun, Blacksmithing is a most enjoyable craft.

A work of art 🇦🇺👌🏅

John is my cousin his really good at this type of stuff

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Very Good…!! best restoration

Well done, John! The family engineering gene certainly shows! (Gordon, ex-#650)

Interesting video, John. I've seen the mill, but not in action. You and Alan might become viral RUclipsrs if you keep this up! lol (Your former neighbour from #650, Gordon)

Great video clip of the saw mill process. Thank you.😀

Ripper video! How do you choose which saw to use?

Nice job John!
