Fantastic, I am fortunate to have all three of the Record vices that are still in great condition with the original paint. It so good to see someone take the time to restore a great vintage tool like this. BRAVO FOR YOU!
I have a 52 1/2 left at the house I've moved to, so apart from being great to watch in its own right, this has been beyond helpful in giving me insights into how to restore it. Thank you, and wish me luck!
Very satisfying to watch, a good form of therapy. A labour of love. Some good tips in there too (carpet tape, holding small parts with tweezers/pliers)
Hi sir. I just found one of these in a pawn shop today. The guy had it for a while and couldn't get rid of it. He let me have it for $40 us. I'm really happy with it. I think I'm going to follow your lead and restore it. It is totally functional.
Thank you very much sir. This is now the new look for my record vices. The casting is too beautiful to cover. And there is no paint to chip or scratch like my no 5 vice.
Ah! That takes me back. Around 10 years ago I finally completed a laminated Paul Sellers work bench and wanted a couple of vices for it. Ebay to the rescue. I did a partial restoration on both (I'm not an engineer or a metalworker) got them cleaned out, working smoothly etc, then a quick re-paint. You've got a much better finish than I did on the bare matal parts, but now I have discovered the power of the wire wheel. These things are so well built and have amazing holding power
I have almost finished restoring a similar age 52 1/2 and was just about to paint it with Paragon roundel blue enamel paint. Now I'm having second thoughts. Nice job.
That is amazing. I'm so glad you didn't paint it. A tool in the raw! I detest slotted screws. I invariably strip them trying to get them out. I had to look up methylated spirits. In my world it's denatured alcohol! Nicely done. A lot of cleaning and care went in to that. Awesome!
Ha! Excellent! I'm part way through restoring a Woden vice that's virtually the same as this. It was sadly in a far worse state and I had to spend a week soaking in it vinegar solution overnight, wire brushing it then putting it back in the vinegar, just to remove enough rust to be able to move the thread and dismantle it. The spring and castellated nut had rusted right through, but I managed to get replacement from "Viceman". The handle is too rusty to restore fully, so it will just have to remain functional, rather than fine. The quick release blade was rivetted rather than screwed, so I had to drill that out. Just have to tap a new thread in it, then I can paint and reassemble it. I'm going to use blue Hammerite, to keep out any more rust and to hide the severe pitting. Great video !
Well Done!! Highly functioning Quality Tool now. Liked the way you left the metal natural and just put clear on it. Always impressed with what can be done with so little. Thanks for sharing this.
I like that plain lacquer finish for that vintage look real classy. I understand the merits of using a soft wood that you don't have any issues changing for the jaws, but as hardwoods go that are pretty easy to come by, look good and are VERY hard I recommend some good old red oak.
I worked in a school shop for fifteen years and maintained these - four to each bench, 9 benches. They were very good and still are. It’s a great job but the original blue Paint job really identifies Record products.
Nice to watch, thanks for posting that. I found the same vice about 40 years ago in a second hand shop for NZ$25 and did more or less the same thing. Its been on my work bench ever since and its probably my most used tool, built to last!! The lacquer looks great. Wondered if you were aware the main slider bars are threaded into the front face of the vice? They aren't much fun to get out but it makes the work on the face plate a bit easier, if you ever do another one!! Cheers from NZ
just setting up for a evening working on a record 89 vice (looks very similar). nice job............but i will be going for a slightly brighter paintjob!
I moved into a house a month ago and 1 of these was left down by the garage. Gunna have a go at getting it working again. Must of been outside a long time and is heavily rusted and seems siezed up but I'm gunna try. This video will help so much. Good job.
May I suggest you use slightly thicker wooden blocks and counter sink the screws deeper into the block. They will leave a lovely dent in every piece of wood you clamp otherwise.
Great detail. Was nervous about removing the quick release portion on mine as couldn't find any videos showing in good enough detail how to remove and put back this portion. Am happy to give it a go now and get my vice working smoothly 👍👍👍
Very very nice, I think I'll try using clear lacquer after seeing your results, I've got a very similar vice I'm about to try and restore. I like the clear easy to follow video without being distracted by unnecessary music, thank you for a great video.
My fiance got me a work bench for free with a record 52 on it (the slightly smaller version of this) very nice vice and it only needs some tlc to look nice but i love that vice
I very much like this restoration. Just one slight niggle. This is a woodworking vice, and the soft jaws which you have bolted to the cast iron faces from the inside, WILL damage any pieces which the bolt heads touch as the vice is closed. The sacrificial faces should be lightly held to the cast iron jaws by a short wood screw going through the cast iron faces and about 1/4"to 3/8" (6-10 mm) into the wood. Then, when the vice is attached to the bench, the wooden jaws should be planed down to be level with the top of the bench.
Hi there. I bought the same vice recently but it’s missing the piece at 10:19 and I wondered if it’s possible to buy it? I can’t find it on the internet and I’m worried I won’t be able to get the vice to work without it. I believe it pushes the jaw open when loosening the lever. Would really appreciate it if you would reply, thanks
A great and thorough job. Can you tell me please what liquids you used in the rust removal and paint stripping? I have an identical model which I’m just about to strip. Great vid. Gives me confidence now I have this as a reference guide!
I do like the vintage industrial look, it's a nice touch. I picked up a 52 1/2 A for £25 on gumtree, and am going to restore it and fix into my workbench. It's currently painted in some thick gloopey silver paint (lots of cured drip marks over it) so I thought I'd give it a treat and restore it back to it's original colour. Now I've got some clear lacquer for the bare metal parts of the vice, but was going to spray the front and rear jaws with a Jenolite spray. I've bought the cobalt blue, but not sure if it's going to turn out too dark. I'll try a bit on some paper tonight and let it dry. Can anyone recommend a spray paint that is close enough to the roundel blue? Hammerite, Ronseal, and a host of others do various shades of hard wearing blue spray paints. Thanks for the video it's clearly showed me the process for stripping mine down. I couldn't find much info online about the "A" variant of the 52 1/2 so I'm not sure if it's a rarer model.
I found out the 52 1/2 A is an older 1930's variation. I ended up returning the Jenolite cobalt blue and forked out more money for the Paragon Roundel Blue semi gloss. I've cleaned up the vice and sprayed some parts with clear Jenolite lacquer, and the paintable parts with bodyshop primer in preparation for the Paragon enamel. I'm actually already sad that I've started the process of painting it. A couple of days after electrolysis, there was a bit of flash rust covering parts of the face, which gave it a real sense of character. Wish I'd just sprayed the whole thing with the clear lacquer. Would have saved about £30 and let's be honest, my 1930 vice that's been treated like crap is not going to look great even with gold leaf.
Now....I have just spent 10 years of luck on one day.... I manage to find 20 of these in a junkyard.... Selected and picked thirteen of them and had spent almost 200 usd on 211 kgs of cast iron monsters. All of them are the 1960s version. Thinking of coming back for the remaining 7 that was left behind because of missing parts and minor damage and at the time of purchase I ran out of cash for them anyways...so wish me luck friends in both restoring and selling them back. Im keeping 2 units for myself.
It's all very pretty but what's the point? If there are worn components then I do see the benefit. Entertainment I guess, I enjoyed it anyway! I have same vice, old- I just keep it clean and lubricated.
The wooden parts can be made much wider than the metal jaws, and can be higher too. It means they can be used to hold, for instance, drawer sides well to the sides of the parallels to cut dovetails. No need for a moxon vice. And no chance of ruining a saw on the steel jaws.
Amazing video sir, respect. (I've got one to do myself, and will be following this guide) Just 3 questions if I may? What was the lacquer and what does it do? What lubricant did you use at the end? And... did you not want to repaint it? If you did, what would you have used, hammerite?
Hi, thanks for watching. The lacquer was just normal lacquer in a can. I used it to seal the metal since I wanted a metallic finish. If I were to do this today I would use danish or boiled linseed oil. The lubricant was multipurpose ep2 grease. And as for the paint I just restored my record no 1 vice using Paragon BS381C 110 Roundel Blue (this is the original record colour) (only 1 person sells this on eBay Uk.). I have used smooth blue Hammerite in the past but I quickly got tired looking at it. I just picked up a record 84 today, I will be restoring that sometime this year and I’ll be using that paint also. it’s well worth the expense.
Yeah, I like the finish!! Is that linseed oil applied to the timber? I used a natural metal finish on my Soviet mini-vice and have recently used clear coating over rust for a preserved patinated look on s couple of very early vices.... Check the videos!!
Hi, that was a parts cleaner. You can find them on eBay. To be honest I haven’t used it for many months. A bucket and a brush will so the same thing. The liquid is a degreaser. No need to apologise, we all have to start somewhere.
What is the reason for the parts washer cleaning in the beginning? Was it greasy or something? I like the sanding strip tip. I will keep that in mind as I probably would've just used a wire wheel but that would get a much finer finish on select parts. I assume that was some kind of grease you smeared on everything to protect from rust. Seems like it might be a bit messy. Just sayin. Wax better? Very nice job. Really like the clear.
That's a nice job, may l ask what editing software you use, and what camera/ phone you prefer as l am thinking of embarking on a similar youtube journey, thanks
Hi. I currently edit on a 2018 iPad 9.5”. My software is LumaFusion. Up until recently i have been filming with an iPhone 6. I basically started with what I had. My new camera is the iPhone 11 Pro Max. This is the first video I have filmed in 4K. Editing 4K on the iPad is a bit tedious but I managed. I’m currently trying to justify investing in a new MacBook Pro. But a good one is nearly £3k. My advise is use what you have and invest what you can whenever you can. Good luck on your journey.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 While a MacBook Pro is a really nice machine, I suggest buying a much more powerful desktop for much less money to edit videos. You can get a really decent editing desktop for around 1000-1500 bucks. I've watched all of your content and it is getting better with every video. Assuming you will continue this, I'd say invest in a editing work horse, not a shiny laptop :) Throw in 500 bucks for a really nice 4k monitor and you still save a ton. There is a community on reddit that can help you build a pc, aptly named /r/buildapc.
I’ve just restored a 52 1/2 A. It was in really bad shape, completely seized. I’ve got it almost up and running, however I can’t get the quick release to work. It’s as if there isn’t enough travel in the spring, any ideas? Great video btw, cheers!
I have a 52 1/2 E that I bought for £20 and is in the same sort of condition as yours started off, by the way very nice job in restoring it. But have you or anyone else have any idea what the E stands for because it looks exactly the same.
Nice job, I particularly like the trick with the carpet tape !!!

Beautiful restoration

We used to have those vises on the workshop benches when I trained as a joiner.
Learned a lot thanks so much for sharing your process of restoration
Excellent video. What a great tool this is.
Clear lacquer was a great choice. Still looks old, just properly cared for. Great job.
Thank you very much sir. This is now the new look for my record vices. The casting is too beautiful to cover. And there is no paint to chip or scratch like my no 5 vice.

This is a woodworking vice, and the soft jaws which you have bolted to the cast iron faces from the inside, WILL damage any pieces which the bolt heads touch as the vice is closed.

Thanks for the tip
Or thicker wooden soft jaws to allow a deeper counter setting of the screws. That allows me to have a sturdier jaws to face of the vice connection.
Oh hell yeah!
A person who knows how to use a file correctly.
I’ve had one in my garage for decades. Brand new but needs a little care. Thx.

Because untreated soft pine won’t damage any hard woods you are working with, the jaws are sacrificial
