Blacksmith's Leg Vice & Anvil Restoration (mouting the vice + Forge Set up #2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2016
- I wanted to restore this old blacksmith's leg vice to finish the little forge set up. So, after taking it apart, I brished it and ground it with an angle grinder. Then, I did the same with my anvil. The face was a little beat up so I started with a sanding disc first, I went slow and then, to go faster, I used a grinding disc. It went a lot faster and after checking the level, I finished with the sanding disc again. As long as you go slow and carefully, nothing can go wrong ;) Just have to take your time.
I hope you like the video !

Very cool. I love that moment when the raw metal lookout from under years of paint and neglect.
Thank you Hugo. I love that too ;)
I got all chocked up at the end. Awesome!
Thank you very much ! Glad you liked it :)
building up the shop - a day to kick serious butt *** that is what I named this video. LOL great job! I agree with Dan that story made this video more meaningful.
Lol, thank you Jimi ! I hope this video will help other people to try restoring some tools, as I was inspired to do. :)
I have a vice that I may restore after the holidays. Nothing as cool as that vice you have.

It all came out great! I restored a old Wilton vise on my channel and loved doing it. The wire cup wheel was my main tool also.
Thank you Tom. Restoring old tool is always fun and give the feeling to have a brand new one without paying for it ;)
I watched you video, you did a great job on this vice !
Ready to work through another couple of life times. Great project, and useful too. Nice job.
Thank you Jim. Yes, I hope it will be passed to my son and my grandson too !

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Доброго времени суток. Подскажите , каким составом вы покрывали детали тисков 2.06 . Спасибо за интересные видео.
Good day. Tell me what composition you covered the details of the vise 2.06. Thanks for the interesting videos.
это называется Рустол. он предотвращает ржавчину металла. Большое спасибо за просмотр.
Great job on the vice, and the anvil face looked great as well. I love the exhaust fan, it looks a bit like an stove top hood?
Thank you Dan. Indeed, it is a stove top hood. I wanted to give it a try, but, I will probably change it soon. It's now too high, and not wide enough.
А что такое серое Вы разводили в ведре? Похоже на эпоксидную смолу или это специальный цемент для высоких температур?
Искренне рад, что Вы имеете свободное время на занятие любимым делом и условия! 👍
Да, это высокотемпературный цемент. Благодарю вас, я ценю это!
I finally got to watch this. So, on the vice, was that all wire wheel, or was there a sanding disc in play as well? Turned out awesome!
Thank you Paul ! First I used wire wheel to remove old paint and rust. Then, sanding disc and grinding disc to redo the vice's jaws and anvil face. It wasn't a hard work but it took time. :)
Great work. What did you use to treat the vise after stripping off the rust and crud?
Thank you ! It's an anti-rust called Rustol-Owatrol. Very good product but takes almost two days to dry... ;)
That's a beautiful vice! Man I dig your setup! What did you seal it up with?
I see you answered it below in other comments. Rustol
Yep ! Jesse Savage, Rick Barter and Rory May were kind enough to answer my question about finishes on metal in the episode 4 of the Forge Weld podcast. Very good tips in it. ;)
Nice work! But the only thing I didn’t find very right is grinding into the surface of the anvil. I got one myself and restore it as well but I only went over the top surface with a steel brush even though the surface wasnt 100% straight just to keep the hardening best as possible. Have you notice any dent after hammering or differences between spots since you grinded some more than the other?
Thanks. I didn't grind too much to keep the hardening of the face but I did'nt notice the anvil taking more dents now compared to before the restoration.
What kind of oil did you brush onto the vise pieces? I have ordered one and I'm waiting for it to be shipped. I plan on restoring it just like you did.
It's Rustoil, it protects the steel from rusting :) Good luck on your restoration!
Another great video mate! What oil did you brush on the post vice?
Thank you ! It's not really oil. It's a product called Rustol. An anti-rust oily stuff, dry in 24h-48h and last very long. :)
Thanks man. Doesn't look like it's available in South Africa.
Great job. What was the protection you put on the anvil after restoration. What a great forge room. Very jealous.... Mike
Thank you Mike. The product is called Rustol. It's an anti-rust you can use on metal, but also on wood or plastic for protection. Very useful product. Thanks for watching ;)
Beautiful! What did you use on the metal after cleanup?
McGinn's WoodShop - I know that boiled linseed oil is popular.
Thanks Jason ! It's a product called Rustol-Owatrol. It's a very good anti-rust oily stuff. Only thing is it take 24h to 48h to dry...
Linseed oil is quite popular yes, but as far as I know, it must be applied when the metal is hot. I never tried it, but next time I will.
all this information is interesting and helpful! Thanks!
Happy if I can help even a little :)
Nice job!I have the same.Is this a French vice???????????????????
Thanks. Yes it is :)
Salut je n'ai jamais compris a quoi servais la chaine autour de l enclume?
Clement Massip Bonsoir. Elle sert à absorber les vibrations et donc atténuer le bruit mais aussi à tenir une pièce de métal lorsque deux mains sont nécessaires pour la forger (marteau et étampe par exemple).
The Redsmith ok merci bien je me coucherais moins con ce soir 😅
De rien :)
tu peint sa avec du ?rustol
Exact
The Redsmith merci car je viens de restauré le même étau que toi et je savais pas quoi metre pour le protéger
Le rustol fonctionne bien si l'étau est à l'abri de la pluie et de l'humidité. A bien laisser sécher 48h, Deux couches de préférence et à renouveler chaque année.
The Redsmith oui il est dans mon garage merci continue tes merveilles ! 😀
Just FYI, it's spelled vise.
Thanks for your concern, but FYI, the spelling "vise" is only used in the USA. Outside American English, the "vise" spelling rarely appears. It is instead spelled "vice". And as I'm not living in the USA, I spell it with a C. :)
