Be curious and explore diverse interests every day your alive.... Everyone dies in the end. Find the awe and wonder of it all in every step you take and don't worry or try to be like everyone else for most people waste there whole lives doing exactly that and in the end find that they never lived at all. No one really wants to be normal its just a trap that most fall into and get stuck in forever. Great video hats off to its maker... Sure wish I had a mill and a sandblaster I constantly have need of them maybe someday I will find the room for them...

      Putting in all the time and effort working like this on a vice always makes you think twice before abusing it in any way. Over the years, It is bound to pick up a few dings and scratches , that cannot be helped. If I do need to 'take things to the extreme' or weld in the vice, I have an old 'beater of a vice that soaks up all the abuse and, if I really need do do some heavy hammer work, I have a 120kg blacksmiths leg vice.
      An excellent restoration and a well thought out video !

    Truly the work of a craftsman. Everything was done to perfection. No shortcuts were taken. There was the benefit of having a lathe and a mill handy. ;-) Greasing everything well during reassembly - including pins, screws, locking collars and inner surfaces - will keep the rust away for years to come, just like the visible surfaces. The paint was a nice touch. It looked great. At the end you were able too crank the vice all the way in and out using just your finger. The restoration was flawless. Also, your English is very good.

    Keep this in mind people who are DIYers, this is an excellent way to get cheap tools. You don't have to restore them as good as he does, just clean them up and make sure they work. My uncle used to buy semi junk tools at auction and fix them up. If he couldn't make it work he had a couple of buddies who would help him. He had a shop full of tools you would think he paid thousands for. Most were only a couple hundred or less. Nice machines from the 30s, 40s, 50s, the good heavy duty stuff. Drill presses, a small lathe, band saws. None of them worked when he got them.
    Now he can build almost anything out of wood.

    I have seen many restoration videos on RUclips. But one thing I have to say is that you clearly put your hands to work on this one here.
    IMHO The best Restoration I have ever seen.
    Well worth the work. These devices go for a pretty penny brand new and at this restoration point. You got your time well spent and worth the effort with the evidence to back it up as proof or Restoration.
    The other thing I have to say is… Your hands and skin texture says you’re young still. Means Lots of Restoration more to go in your life. Awesome is not the word I’m looking for with this video. Pristine craftsmanship is still not enough.
    Just keep doing what you do man. At this point you have lots to go and lots more to show us.
