GREAT VIDEO JUST DONE ONE AND YES THEY ARE A BEAST BUT CANT BE BEAT FOR QUALITY VERY NICE JOB .. GOOD TO SEE HE INCLUDED SLIGHT MISTAKES TO WARN OTHERS 10/10 E.A.C
I have found, this past year that after scraping off the worst of the crud, immersing the components is a solution of caustic soda, kept at a simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour, very effectively gets rid of all grease and paint. Sounds like a bit of a faff but it saves time down the line. Just take care using Caustic Soda [Lye] as it rips off skin just as efficiently. Where lettering is reasonably raised, I've found that going over the tops with a fine flat file, really defines the logos and letters nicely, giving a nice crisp painted finish
Just bought one of these at a car boot for 20 quid and looking forward to getting stuck in to restoring it. It is a well used item but functionally really sound. Like yours, the letters in the casting are not great but an hour or so with a die grinder will tidy them up a bit. Not going to allow myself to start, till I have finished my Record #36.... it got a bit side lined, so this gives me a good incentive to tidy up the last few snags on that one. Thanks for the video. I'm sure it will help avoid some head scratching on my part. These are really heavy and, at my age, the less I have to lift and turn it, the better. To get it back to the car, I bought a shopping trolley for a couple of quid, took the bag off, just leaving the frame and strapped it to that. By the time I got it to the car, it was trashed ...It died in a worthy cause ! ;
Nice job! I think my Granny used one of those for holding her firewood when she was crosscutting it with her Bushman saw. Yours makes exactly the same noise as hers did. Like acoustic time travel! 😊
Nice job! I’ve got two of these, proper beast of a vice! Thought you might be interested to know that yours is one of the earlier ones, they had a different tab to hold the slider on the later ones, it’s bolted in both sides to hold the half nut steadier, less side to side movement in the jaw.
Excellent. Nice to see a restoration of a vice that is to continue it's working life rather than being buffed to such a shine that you would be scared to use it. With an MG, you are definitely going to need it.
Man it's nice to have a big one in the shop. I just finished a big Reed Coachmaker which was quite old and well used as well. It opens up at least as far as this one you've got. Now I've got to source a quality stand for it.
@@MG-Driver nice. Yeah it if you are restoring constantly I couldn't imagine not having a big one readily available for regular use. Mine is going to have to fit on a dedicated stand in the corner. Need to have a stand made as I don't weld.
Good restoration on a quality quick release engineers vice. I had to laugh when you mentioned your trellise could handle a half ton. I immediately imagined all the climbing plants that could be loaded on such a trellise. 🤣😂. I’m sure the word you really wanted was ‘’Trestle.’’
Great job, magnificent vice! How does that compare dimensionly with a Record No.25? "Bulb-shaped" handle is similar to pre-1960 records. Jaw mountings is similar to the steel records.
Poor planning ... "I have to buy a new bench as it (the Vise) bends my current one." Shame on you. Fabulous Vise, excellent video, thank you. 99.8/100%
Why not? Parts get hot and I can lose skin on the wire wheel and grinding disk. Gloves while grinding have saved me numerous times. Is it because they could get caught up in the wheel?

Thanks for that, I have a Victorian era one of these that I have started restoring and am grateful to see how the half-nut tensioning works.

Took mine apart today, glad I have a video to refer to just incase. Well done pal.
It's a vise vise vise vise world!! You know you have a priceless masterpiece there!!!
Excellent. Nice to see a restoration of a vice that is to continue it's working life rather than being buffed to such a shine that you would be scared to use it. With an MG, you are definitely going to need it.
What a monster of a vise! Great job
You deserve to own that gem!
You reconditioned the vice some seem compelled to polish the hell out of tools to each their own very nice restore
Good job. I like that they designed it for easy jaw replacement. Big bolts from the back and not Phillips head screws from the face of the jaws.

I've now mounted mine on my workbench although it really sticks out. It's very tall as well as wide and long

Ha ha indeed 🤦♂️
Good job! That’s one great classic vise. I Like the quick-release mechanism.
Little research and I found out that Parkinson invented this and it was copied all over the world
Thats so beautiful.
Done exactly the same resto on a Model F no 7 vice but I painted mine in the original red.
Excelente trabajo, estoy haciendo lo mismo, pues tengo una igual en Argentina. Muchas gracias por las "clases". Saludos cordiales.
Un lujo esa restauracion!!!!! Una herramienta util y hermosa
I have the no 8 ,model f , hadn’t realised quite how old it was 😎 proper heavy vice, still has its original paint , red lead I think
Never heard of Parkinsons before today, now I've seen two rebuilds on the same day, the other was a quick release woodworking vise
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns 🎆 👏🇧🇷
damn that's a lovely vice!!!!!!!
Excelente trabajo !!!
Very good job! 👍. (You need a bigger work table)
Good job!
Very nice. It's been years since I'm searching for a quick-release vice here in my country, no success so far.
And at 9:49 I just shit my pants and my cat left the room so fast it almost traveled back in time. Volume warning! (Nice Restore)
I just kicked my wife in the ass and jumped behind the sofa!
lol...this comment is so funny.
What is the production period?
Great job, magnificent vice! How does that compare dimensionly with a Record No.25? "Bulb-shaped" handle is similar to pre-1960 records. Jaw mountings is similar to the steel records.
Record copied the quick release , and then later Parkinson’s copied / licensed elements of records designs
@@Mark-xl8gg I wonder if Parkinsons patented the buttressed thread. Is it as big as a Record no.28 ?
Thanks for the vid, it help a lot with mine. Thankyou.
참 잘 하셨읍니다
Thank you for not making it look too tarty. Hate that.
dam, what a monster.
Great work! (Audio set to mute.)
Ebay is full of replacement cords for grinders. You need one now, not next week; do yourself a favor and order one today.
What kind of motor you got there at 11:29?
It’s my R500 Duratec for my 68 MGB GT
Poor planning ... "I have to buy a new bench as it (the Vise) bends my current one." Shame on you. Fabulous Vise, excellent video, thank you. 99.8/100%
It was a good excuse to build a steel framed bigger bench 😉
looks neglected, not abused
You missed a spot.
Great job! check out our restorations too! Thanks!
Don’t wear gloves with a bench grinder!
Why not? Parts get hot and I can lose skin on the wire wheel and grinding disk. Gloves while grinding have saved me numerous times. Is it because they could get caught up in the wheel?
MG-Driver it is exactly that
Great video but you mumbled so much I had to leave. Too bad. It looked like a great project.
Volume warning for lettering, ruined the mood/enjoyment of watching.
Not perfect restauration. But lets say it is somehow OK
Perfect by name, not restoration
Holy fuck! You lost me with the load as fuck machine gun effects. I had ear buds in and had to crank it up to hear your mumbling than that!
HAHA.... can't even spell vise.
In the UK it's spelled VICE 🙂
@@MG-Driver Question then, squire.. in the UK what does the word 'vice' mean?
