His friend loves it! I had forgotten how useful a vice that size was for the type of projects I accomplish today. David’s work is that of a true craftsman and he is a great guy.
Great job David. I always like it when the numbers and lettering is highlighted, it seems to make it look that much better. Your friend should really like it. Have a good week.
Hey David I loved the restoration of the vise. It gave me helpful tips on restoring some yard lamps. I shared your video with 4 friends. Keep sending those videos!
Very nicely done David. I was surprised at first when you said 5" because I have never seen one. I have found that every vice restoration I have done they all leve the manufacturer with work that should have been done. I guess all my vises have been made on Fridays.
Nice job. I find vise restoration to be a lot of fun. Small, simple machines. Lately I have been putting a dab of anti-seize compound on the jaw threads. These threads are often difficult to move on older vises, as your video showed.
@@westhighlandsshop What got me started was a Charles Parker 272, a swivel base vise. It was given to me. As I was disassembling it to restore I was surprised to learn it was a somewhat rare swivel jaw unit. Since then, I try to buy whatever is available at a reasonable price, as restoration is my interest, not really using the vises. I've done a small Wilton, a few Craftsman units and a few of the huge Chinese swivel head vises, which I find are a lot of cheap fun. I have a Littlestown 29, a very small vise that is somewhat unique in that the front jaw is stationary, the back jaw travels on the base. I can email you a photo if you are interested.
Nice job! The paint came out great! Could you have turned the jaws upside down so the beat up side is at the bottom and the good side on the top, or do the holes not line up?
Amazon and no. The first use is good then they sit too long. They either dry out or dump paint everywhere. (Could be user error LOL). I’ve been trying to use sign painters paint but I just don’t have the steady hand! Thanks for watching.
Very nice! I like the color
Thank you. Appreciate you tuning in.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. Hope you enjoy it!
Well done! Good choice on the color. Your friend should be very happy to receive that. 👍
Thanks you. I’ve used this color on the past and I too think it looks great on a vise.
Great job David. I always like it when the numbers and lettering is highlighted, it seems to make it look that much better. Your friend should really like it. Have a good week.
Thanks Dale. He was real happy with it. Enjoy your weekend as well.
You did a great job on that vise! It is now better than new! 👍😀😎
Thanks for watching, better than new? maybe LOL.
Lookin' good! I think your friend is gonna dig it!
Thanks Magdad. He loved it.
Hey David

Thanks Sis! I'm glad you got something useful out of it, and appreciate you sharing the video!
For a user vise that thing looks awesome. Nice work David!
Thanks Bill, probably a little too much for a user uh? Appreciate you always tuning in.
Came out really good ready to go to work. Thanks Dave
Thank you
Excellent! Came out fantastic! Love the lettering!!
Thanks Big Vic. The letter casting was in really good shape on this one which makes the hi-lighting a little easier. Thanks for being here.
Came out awesome David . I really like that color! Your friend should get a lot of good use out of it. Great Job!
Thanks George, I thought the color looked great on this on too.
Good job. Looks and works better. Sometimes all a tool needs is a little (TLC) Time , Labor and Cash.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
That is sweet!!!
It moves so smooth now.
Thanks Web, yep pretty slick.

Thanks Ryan. Funny, sometimes when watching playback I'm like why did I say that? And, definitely a Friday vise! LOL.

Thanks! I'll have to try the anti-seize on the next one. What's your favorite brand of Vise?

@@Bigfoot14000 Would love to see the photos, our interest are aligned. My email is in the about me section on my channel page. Thanks!
@@westhighlandsshop Will do
Gosh that looks awesome. I’ve been looking out the driveway for two days, no sign of you yet!
LOL, I can hook you up! Just tell me what size and color, I've probably got it in stock. Thanks for watching.
Nice job! The paint came out great! Could you have turned the jaws upside down so the beat up side is at the bottom and the good side on the top, or do the holes not line up?
Can't remember but I think I tried that and they didn't line up real good, but awesome suggestion. Thanks!
where do you buy your paint pens,and are you happy with the way they hold up over time?
Amazon and no. The first use is good then they sit too long. They either dry out or dump paint everywhere. (Could be user error LOL). I’ve been trying to use sign painters paint but I just don’t have the steady hand! Thanks for watching.
@@westhighlandsshop thank you for your reply . I understand about having a steady hand myself
just curious where you're located
Hi there. I live in NC
