I asked a while back whether anyone wanted to see a video restoring this old vice and there was a big response in favour of it. I really enjoyed this one and I also got chance to try out my new milling machine.

Soon to have the "Scrap Steel Challenge" :)
I can hear the theme now...
Scrap Steel Challenge,
Scrap Steel Challenge,
It's rusty and in decline,
But some of the metal is fine.
@@mdsuen hahaha good one!
I Would Love it so much!!! If he does a Scrap metal series challenge. Hes a Great maker! No matter if he uses Wood, metal, plastics lol heck any material!!! And he can make something Awesome! Not just 100% Functional but Very nice as welll and Cool. I Love his Channel so much! Lol. hes an incredible Craftsman.
Ah! I figured out why I like that your videos don’t have music (besides the fact that people often use lousy music). For me, it makes it much more like hanging out with a friend in their shop.
I've never noticed before, but YES! That makes it so incredibly soothing and enjoyable! Thank you for pointing that out :D
Absolutely. It also helps that his tone and demeanor are friendly over all. (Not sure if that's how he sounds when he's not on camera, but...{shrugs} that uncertainty only enhances the effect LOL
You don’t have to include your mistakes but you include them anyway. Love it
I appreciate this!
Agree. They are all great reminders for us all.
Was about to post this but saw yours and will just add to it.
Perfect, now I can scratch my restoration and Pask Makes itches at the same time
You got the same dandruff advertisement as me I assume? Haha
Those clamps are absolutely absurd and i love them
They really are hey! I can't get my head around the idea of such a big clamp so it makes Neil look like he's a foot tall 😄
They're not big enough, this is australia everything should be 20m tall.
@@roterex9115 in the States we tend to use lower case "c" clamps. It seems the Australian crowd prefers capital "C" clamps.
Do you have any other all caps tools?
As I write this through snickering, I feel compelled to admit how I envy these tools.
Also, Ive heard "you can never have enough clamps". Will some number of these actually prove that phrase wrong?
They look like something out of an animated cartoon!
Vice restoration videos are always a winner
In you videos, every time you say "... as best I can" it's always better than anyone else could or would bother to.
Try the channel 'my mechanics'
I am so sorry for this, but when you pulled out that clamp, all I could think was Dundee saying "That's not a clamp, here's a clamp!". :) Also helps with the Australian accent! :D
You beat me to it. Thought the same thing when he showed the clamp🤣🤣🤣
Instantly thought the same thing, glad to see this as the top comment, it would have been criminal if no one had posted it yet. 🔪
🤣🤣 so good
Yesss!
Classic 😂 however I think it is a British accent of some description
Only missing "I make a new one" ;)
Hahaha!! Great job Neil, as always!

Blondihacks is great. This Old Tony also has some good 'beginner' level tips as well as more advanced techniques.
I really enjoyed this one and I also got chance to try out my new milling machine. I was going to add checkering to the jaws but decided to see how they go without and I can always add that later on. I should also mention for anyone that doesn't know, a vice (like this one I've restored) is spelled 'vice' here in Australia and not spelled wrongly.

This old Tony "ToT" is a great and very entertaining channel to watch for milling machines, loads of information. Well done on your vice restoration looks brand new!
Very enjoyable Neil. I regularly watch LADB Restoration videos, Restorations are relaxing.
Of course VICE is the correct spelling, not the American corruption vise
If you start collecting them, they can truly become a vice.

Crocodile Pask: “You call that a clamp? This is a clamp”
Neil is the man. His work is quality, he is honest about the effort he puts into work tools for what the tool will truly be needed for and yes he makes mistakes. He's a man of craft and his talent comes from time, trial and error in new adventures and learning from it. The gift from this man and channel is letting us explore with him and see his craft. And the most important.. we get to see how he ventures into unknowns with excitement, lessons and honesty into projects like this that isn't his rhelm.
I feel like I'm sitting across the bench from him trying to figure things out and feeling good about it when I watch his content.
All the respect in the world for this man.
Thanks very much Ryan - really glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
I fully agree with you review! I like his perfectionism. The first set of jaws he made, a couple mm short on one side, would work just fine, but they would bother Neil every time he used the vise, hence he had to make a second set, even though if it wastes material (spent on the first set). As a perfectionist myself, I fully understand the feelings that must have been going through his head.
Blondihacks is a great channel! The vise looks great.
With some clever fixturing, a d-bit, and time you could make another set of jaws that are “knurled”.
For the evaporust bath you can also just stick the vise in a bag, place that in a bucket of water, keeping it out of the bag, and then add the evaporust into the bag with the vise, the water will help hold the evaporust right against the vise and it’ll prevent too much excess space around it so you’ll get full coverage😊
This may be the best tip I've ever read in the comments of a video. Genius!
Pask Blue is the new Color of The Year 2021!
The bad thing is that I can like this video only once. Perfect job as always.
Keep watching Quinn, she is a super explainer. That makes her a great teacher. She's a darn good machinist too!
Who would have thought I could derive such pleasure by watching this for the third time?
Another great video! That gigantic clamp looked like something Wile E Coyote would have lol. I love listening to you as you explain what you are doing and why. You have a very calming aura.
I love Blonde Hacks! Awesome reference. So excited for you to get the milling machine up and running. I can only imagine the fun you'll have with it.
I am so glad to see some people refurbishing old and neglected tools back to good usable working condition again. Things last longer when people take care of them. Thanks for the video Pask
As a machinist, I agree:
1st Blondihacks is a great channel
2nd having the faces of the vise jaws square isn't terribly important. Having the opposite faces parallel is more important but even then these are jaws for a bench vise, so as long as the jaw will close nicely with no gap you're golden.
Great video!
Why would anyone gives this a dislike thumbs down? Great job Neil!
The previous owner of the vise?
That's what we've been waiting for. As for your soaking tub...
You're gonna need a bigger boat!!!
I cannot explain the sheer joy I felt hearing my favorite youtuber talk about learning from another one of my favourite youtubers!
Hopefully there will be some collaborations in future and with your mind I can only imagine you'll be an expert in no time❤
For a freebie thrown in with the workbench it is still a plenty serviceable vise after the work you put into it. The blue paint makes it look even better.
That big c-clamp looks like it’s straight out of a cartoon! Awesome work!
Just as I suspected: A restauration video by Neil? ROCKS!.
Very good to see the Mill in action for the first time!
Brutally good video, like always!!!!
Cheers!
Wow, a ep of "Pask Restores" haha, my day just startet good with this video, well done sir!!!
Oh boy, you fell for the same trap like me. Restoring tools just for satisfaction. And it feels soooo good every time I use my restored tools.
That clamp is absolutely comical, I love it!
I was expecting to see a completed carport,
but this is good too!!!
We hope that all is well.
I was waiting for the rain to stop but I'm back on to it now. :)
@@PaskMakes:
Thanks!!!
Stay well!!!
I love that you include your setbacks and fixes
“Im having fun and learning something new.” This should be the go to phrase for everyone.
Loved the utilization of fencing pliers to remove the cotter pin.
I dont know if you have watched him but This Old Tony has great educational videos on milling.
I higly recommend you to get an edge finder and a milling stop. In my opinion these are two of the most important tools to mill symmetrical or identical parts. You could also make the stop yourself, I reckon this would be a nice scrap steel challenge.
Looks great afterwards
Smart as new paint!
As far as milling goes, you fooled me… looks like you know what you’re doing.
I have absolutely no use for a milling machine, but boy do I now want one!
Who would have thought an old vice could turn out to be a thing of beauty 👍🥰
Once again a great video. Thank You for showing all the steps in your restoration. I find lots of videos that miss steps or lose footage. It also is of great help when using cleaners or chemicals / products that you explain their purpose since terminology and products vary from country to country. Also very nice that you showed how to touch after painting when you were not satisfied with the result. As always I’ve learned a lot that is applicable to other projects.
When I mounted my vise, I decided to add a wood base made from a scrap piece of oak stair tread. It seems to absorb some shock that might other wise crack the vise. Anyways, that's what I tell myself.
Really beautiful work, man! It looks fantastic! 😃
You know, I saw the other day a guy making a box for sandblasting! He used a big plastic box, put a metal sheet in it, put a glass in the lid and 2 thick gloves for the hands... Then he just bought a sandblasting pistol to use with the air compressor! I'm thinking about doing the same! 😃
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Always love seeing something old get a new lease on life. Thanks.
I second the BlondiHacks endorsement, a ton of great content on her channel.
I'm so glad you removed those weld snots and went even further and gave the poor old thing a makeover. Good viewing - thanks Pask. Mike.
Having watched a number of your videos by this point, I have to say that I'm impressed that you show your mistakes. Many RUclipss "makers" would rather pet a turd than show something they did wrong. Much like yourself, I tend to learn from things that went wrong, and to date, I've yet to repeat the same mistake. In any event, your videos have been and continue to be an inspiration. Thank you.
👍🏼 Worth watching just to see the GIANT V clamp! 😅
Thanks for the usage note on vice/vise! Will really annoy my editor...! 😅😂🤣
What a cute tiny c-clamp :D
A few years ago I made a set of copper jaws for my vice, and I had a hell of a time getting the screw holes in the right place. I envy you your milling machine.
This blue color... Absolutely magnificent!
I really love your videos with those mistakes in between. You are actually helping people like me to avoid similar ones. Respect 🙌🏼
I have to agree it turned out great and I enjoyed watching your process.
And you are right Blondie hacks is a an excellent you tube channel to watch.
Thanks for sharing
Can I swear? I'll blank it out tho!!.... That was f*****g superb. It wasn't one of those ''perfect-no-problems-encountered'' videos. You showed the minor screw ups when making the jaws too short. You showed the part where you re-filled the metal and had to re-paint. You told us that bolts were too short and will be replaced. You mentioned you are still learning with the milling machine, but having fun along the way. This was a real video. And one I appreciate for the bloody good work at the end of the job, the honesty, and for showing the ''mistakes'' you made along the way. All the best. Dogue.
I'm so happy! This is my favorite thing, putting a new look on old things!!!
Great work and I love the blue and gray color scheme you got going!
Yet another great project... thank you for the continued inspiration and distractions... and my jaw dropped when I saw that clamp!
Used mineral oil, heat the part and dip, you will be amazed at the finish. love your work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video
'It's not perfect, but it will stop it from rusting.'
That handle has been restored to better condition that 95% of new vices. Nothing better than old steel bought back to life.
Never heard of Super glue for blackening. Love the way you compressed the spring. Great result
Tubalcain does a great series on putting the pattern on the jaws.
It's very cool to see you learning how to use a milling machine, you can make so many more things now! Just gotta learn how! Small stuff and patience, that's how you learn using new tools. I happen to... not own a milling machine, so I'll just learn from you for a while xD Very excited to see more! Oh, and great job on the vise xD
Nicely done Neil, but I thought you were going to cross-hatch the jaws on your mill. Also, I like the shout out to Quinn's channel. She does some pretty cool stuff.
Cleaning the weld splatter with the grinder turned it into a mirror! You did a cracking job on the vise Neil and going forward I'm sure we will see some pretty Stella thing's being done with your milling machine!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Nice to see such a great project again. Well done my friend 👍🏼😊
Sweet. Who knew Aussie restorations came with a play-by-play? I usually like the quiet restoration videos, but I'm gonna make an exception here.
Pask Restores! Very nice work. Love the super clamps!
I tend to push the like button as soon as I start a Pask Makes video anyway, seeing that clamp chuckled to myself as that bloody thing is very OTT but deffo' worth using any opportunity. awesome as always, thanks for sharing
Love seeing how your work has progressed from wood to steel and more, and your love of learning had added plenty of new tools to your arsenal. Quinn over at BlondieHacks is defo a good teacher as well.
On ya, Paskers. Snags and coopers on me if I ever meet ya!
Thanks very much! Snags and Coopers sounds good to me! :)
Hey Pask, nice and neat videos, what model is that súper circular saw?, thanks Man.
Excellent! Great piece of work and always good to see old tools being given a new lease of life. Cheers.
And - Another good use for fencing pliers!
Love the blue! Great to see your milling machine in action. Can't wait to see the finished car port!
Having fun and learning something new; the best way ever!
That was a great recovery.
Hard to tell now that it was once so beat up.
Great job Neal, love when something like is restored !!!.
I’d love a run through of the power tools as equipment you have and use, particularly the saws and drills.
Propper job Neil! As always your work is beautifull and I admire your level of perfectionism.
WOW! What a transformation. Looks great!
Yes, Blondihacks! Such a great channel! So stoked you've got a mill
Nice restoration. Clearly you enjoy what you do so well and that makes the videos all the better.
You never do anything wrong as long as you learn from it. Great job as always
I'm so glad you popped up in my recommendations. Great stuff.
I greatly enjoyed this. Thank you for doing this feedback project. I enjoyed watching the milling. Just goes to show I'll watch whatever project you decide to do!
Really nice restoration, the vice looks great!. so glad you did this and shared it with all of us.
Brilliant work, Neil! I love watching you work. Loving my new Scrapwood Challenge T-Shirt also!
Woke up, saw notification, watch before I even made coffee! Love you lifelong learning spirit!
Nothing beats a good quality vise. Great job 👏
Well done! I have an old vice that needs restoration, and this was a perfect guide. Thanks for sharing 🙂
You have done a wonderful job, I am constantly waiting for your videos which are a real pleasure for me.
Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Nice job, not that that is a surprise. What I find fun is that I too am wearing my "Hand Tools are Cool" Tee shirt, today.
Awesome job as always and fun to watch!
Wow! That was a transformation! Great job!
A fantastic job, you have given it a second life and it has been better than new, I really enjoyed watching the process. Best regards from Spain and happy weekend!
Neil, when I restored a similar sized dawn vice last year I took the opportunity to put a thrust bearing on the front face under the screw. Since you now have a milling machine you could make a recess for the thrust bearing and make it seat perpendicular to the handle. Welcome to the multi medium world; now get ready to start shelling out on tooling for the mill !
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!
Well done Pask. Darlington, South Carolina USA
