I quite like the colour myself, but there's always that one who says "not original" so I thought i would mention it in the description. Thanks for watching and Happy Easter to you.
Seeing metal objects and parts be filed, polished and sanded to reveal new looking metal surfaces is the most interesting part of these videos for me. I've been wondering... what is the hardest type of steel there is?
To get that thing off (not sure what it's called in english), you have to file a bit on the tread as it's sealed. Great video. There are somethings you could do better/different, but it's a really good start. You got yourself a subscriber :)
I spotted it in a pile of other bits at a local second hand shop, Glad i did, It is now a handy little vice. It was a lot cheaper than a new one and the quality is much better than most of the imported rubbish available today. Thanks for watching, ED
Thank you for the comment. I don't have patience all the time. Things have been known to fly across the workshop at high speed before, but I think everybody has the odd off day;)
I can understand that...usually, it's my children that are flying...oh, just kidding! I usually have them clamped in the vises tight enough to keep from moving too much! :-)
A very nice nice vice restoration,I didn't like the jaws,I thought you might have made them flush fitting,but a worthy restoration nevertheless,gets my thumbs up
I don't like the jaws either, I don't really have the right tools to machine them well enough for a flush fit. I could have tried with the grinder and file but I think my chances of getting them to meet properly would have been very slim. It still works the way it should and holds things well. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, ED
The random thoughts I had while watching: "Too bad... I don't have enough cause to use a blowtorch in my daily life." ... "I should probably never use a blowtorch ever." "Wow.. that's the brightest paint I've seen on a tool before.. 'Retinal Damage Yellow' "... I still like it, just.. I won't stare at it for too long at one time..
Good job! I wonder if you could not unscrew the bolt initially because it had expanded from the heat removing the washer. The heated end had expanded just a little too much to thread back through the body of the vice. If you had hit it with something cold you may have been able to get it out. Just a thought . . . Excellent job. I love watching vids like these.
The thread had a little bit of damage right at the end, I'm not sure of the time in the video but if you look closely at the point where I am trying to unscrew it you can see small chips falling off the thread and I didn't want to force it just in case I damaged the casting, I could have kept forcing it out but I don't have the right tap to re-thread it so figured it would be best to leave it and work around it. It had time to cool down before I tried to take it out you just cant tell this due to the editing in video. Thanks for the comment & Thank you for watching, ED
If you need to know how to do something wrong, I'm your man. (just kidding) I try my best with most situations, others say it could be better (which I agree with in some parts) but it works well for my needs. Hope your project goes well, all the best ED
It is just a cheap silverline one, I pick one up whenever I go to my local hardware shop, I think they are about £1 each. The quality is not the best, I have broke quite a few, but for the cost they are good enough for what i use them for.
Miami vice was just before my time but I have see re-runs of it and i think restoring it is beyond my skill level as it looks dreadful. Thanks for watching, ED
Looks great! my 2 cents on the color, since it was already modified with the grooves cut, it loses all "original" refurbishing value anyway. If you are using it for your own work OR it's already been modified, don't stress about the color. If you are wanting to make decent money refurbishing old tools and reselling them, try and stick with the original color unless it's already been modified as in this case. WELL DONE!
I don't really know what the original color was, I think it was a shade of really dark red, from what I could see when cleaning it anyway. Like you say once it is modified it loses all originality. I didn't really like the yellow that I used but It was a can l had left over from another job so I figured why not use it instead of buying some more and i have grown to like it so i used the last of the can on another project (anvil video)(shameless plug;) I don't restore things to sell them so i am not too bothered about originality, Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching ED
Not bad! But .... But why was to shoot a stubborn puck? The screw for fastening to the table did not even try to grease or use WD-40! And do not grease the screw running vice!
No I didn't, They would need a fair bit or material removing, and i think if I took too much off it would interfere with the jaws closing tightly. As it is they don't affect the way it holds things, it still works as it is supposed to. "character marks" is probably the right term so we will stick with that. Thanks for watching ED
I just used that to get the pin moving and then a normal punch after that, I find that a normal pin punch tends to jump around when hit and it ends up damaging the area around the pin instead of moving the pin. Maybe that's just user error. Thanks for watching ED
A centre punch will expand the pin's surface as you hit it. Then the pin gets stuck. So, you had to heat it to get it moving again. If it were really stuck you could have drilled it.
Rubio Atl 78 Some people feel better about themselves if they leave the "constructive" out of "constructive criticism". Unfortunately some people have to try to make others feel inferior to get any self worth, but that says more about them than the person they are trying to belittle. There’s another comment saying what was done wrong and why, but also that overall Ed did a good job. Ed learnt, I learnt and I’m sure many others learnt from that comment.
Well whats the point in owning a vice if you cant use it to hold a vice? I think I have 10 or 11 different vices, from a blacksmiths leg vice to this little one so I could probably make a vice totem pole and dance around it worshipping all things vice. Thanks for watching, ED
I'm not sure about a video on it, A few of them are fastened down so it would be a bit of a job to get them all stacked up. I like to reply to my comments as a lot of comments offer tips and advice, which is always good.
Absolutely brilliant, your work is a great inspiration for my own videos😊👍
Respect Man, respect. You are on the top of restoration. More is not possible. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the comment, ED
Solo faltó engrasar el vástago. Que rico trabajo de restauración 😊.
Sweet little vice
Nice job. Lovely little vice.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, ED
Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍
Nice Job!
Thanks for watching, ED
It's all good!! Sweet!! More vids on vintage vices l love it!!! Bye! Bye! Chow!!!
Good work. Love this vise
Thankyou & thanks for watching. ED
Thanks for the video ed! Great stuff and I just came across a vise identical to that one. Now I know what exactly to do to restore it. Thanks again!!
Should i have read that as "now i know what NOT to do"?
Thanks for watching, ED
Nice job Ed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Clean and serviceable, nice job...
Thanks for the comment, ED
Muy buena restauración, Felicidades. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia.
Excellent job, Ed. The color is of vice is fine. Big thumbs up. Have a nice Easter.
I quite like the colour myself, but there's always that one who says "not original" so I thought i would mention it in the description. Thanks for watching and Happy Easter to you.
Love the color. You're not gonna lose that one.
She's a vibrant one, Doesn't stop me from walking into it when it is fastened on to the bench.
Thanks for watching ED
That new color is rocking the vice something super! It pops!
I wasn't really liking it at first but it has grown on me,
Thanks for watching ED
Goodjob man. And I like your color choice!!!

I love you video so much you guys are amazing
Thank you & Thanks for watching
Good work pal. You took a piece of scrap iron and turned it into a functional and good looking tool. :-)
I spotted it in a pile of other bits at a local second hand shop, Glad i did, It is now a handy little vice. It was a lot cheaper than a new one and the quality is much better than most of the imported rubbish available today.
Thanks for watching, ED
Fantastic work
Thank you
Nice job, but did you put any grease on that vise before assembly?
Nice Job! Thanks for not wearing rubber gloves! Cheers...
Whats wrong with rubber gloves?
Thanks for watching, ED
Baby's breathe!!! Baby vise!!!!
nice work! turned out beautifully. I think I admire your patience, as much as your talent! :-)
Thank you for the comment. I don't have patience all the time. Things have been known to fly across the workshop at high speed before, but I think everybody has the odd off day;)
I can understand that...usually, it's my children that are flying...oh, just kidding! I usually have them clamped in the vises tight enough to keep from moving too much! :-)
Indeed, very nice color.
Was wondering, would you not wish to add some grease to the internal screw maybe?
I did grease it after i had finished filming, I just didn't do it in the video,
Thanks for watching, ED

Here and there a little bit of grease and oil is still better .. for the rest a nice restoration

No the complete opposite. I learned from your video therefore I will follow your instructions.

Vise?
The choice of Neon caution tape yellow, was subjectively, a terrible choice. Otherwise, a nice restoration for a 10 year old table vice.
1908?
I liked the blue handle pick you used, what make is it?
It is just a cheap silverline one, I pick one up whenever I go to my local hardware shop, I think they are about £1 each.
The quality is not the best, I have broke quite a few, but for the cost they are good enough for what i use them for.
Ed Makes Stuff thank you Ed, love your work.
why don't you soak the parts in a solvent prior to doing anything to it?
I didn't have anything at the time, I have some now which i will use on my next resto job,
Thanks for watching. ED
i read the title as "Miami Vice restoration" i cant be the only one.

Ahh, the channel for people with fingernails the same colour as mine
I do clean them occasionally. People shout at me if i don't,
Thanks for watching ED
Anybody else cringing during that pin removal?
ME!
Not bad! But ....
But why was to shoot a stubborn puck? The screw for fastening to the table did not even try to grease or use WD-40! And do not grease the screw running vice!
Did you ever fix the jaw faces or did you just calk it up to 'character marks'?

"character marks" is probably the right term so we will stick with that.
Thanks for watching ED
Mini vise? That's doesn't look that small...(sees first of video where it's in your hands)...oh, that is small. Nice work!
It is actually a giant vice and i have got really big hands, Thanks for watching ED
dude why didn't you lube it up when you finished
I did it after I filmed it, I just didn't do it in video.
Thanks for watching
That sounds wrong in so many levels and in so many fucking ways LMAO
Isabella Noske. Why? I made sure I put some on the vice aswell ;)
Your turning me on >/////> Quit it Ed LOOL
Punching out pin with... center punch? o_O
I just used that to get the pin moving and then a normal punch after that, I find that a normal pin punch tends to jump around when hit and it ends up damaging the area around the pin instead of moving the pin. Maybe that's just user error. Thanks for watching ED

Roll pin punch solves debate, loved the video and end result. Great job.
Night Saber it is always a ass hole talking shit and in this case is u let this guy do what hi wants 👍🏽

Using a vice on a vice. That's vice.

Dude you should make a video on that. Thats fucking hilarious. Also, your the first creator of the video I comment on to reply to. Thanks bro.

mini, funny
Do not touch bare metal parts with greasy fingers before painting, the paint will not stick well on greasy spots.
Не смазал, скрипят.
Please use protection gloves.
I do for certain jobs, I don't like to wear them when using the grinder as that could be a bit dangerous
Thanks for watching, ED
Im not feeling this.
Ah well, I cant please everybody.
