    This is an antique Mark Mfg. pipe vise from the 1930's. I bought this vise at a yard sale for $5, it needed rust removal, cleaning and some repairs. At Greenridge Metal Works we repair and restore vintage tools as well as custom builds and one off machining. This project required degreasing, cleaning and some new parts to be machined. Now this vise is ready for use again!

    Thats awesome! Only thing is most of us plain joe's don't have a machine shop to make new parts like that.. Do another video with the existing parts restored.

    You do see a lot of these pipe vices for sale on eBay & possibly other websites, I don't have one myself it's not something that interests me as such, But i do have a collection of Engineer's vices & Woodworking vices made by Record Made In England & Marples England & Keen England etc, I don't restore my vices i just take most of them apart & clean them up a bit & grease & oil them.

    I think I saw a young man doing the disassembly at the beginning, your son? I also noticed a blue version of this vise installed on the workbench. Beautiful work restoring this tool to better-than-new.

    Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration. I have one just like that but it was by Rock Island Mfg. Co.

    I tossed my granddads old Ridge model in the dishwasher. That stripped it good.

    Were you forced to make the nuts & bolts (unique size/shape?) Or did you just want to? Either way, it's badass.

      Square head bolts are available but I'm impatient and didn't want to wait on shipping. Also, you have to buy them in bulk.

    Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly be more impressed than I was with your bench grinder video I see this one.

    Nice work! The modern world has largely become a throwaway society. After only a few short years things are considered obsolete and just piled into a landfill. It sure is nice to watch someone who can see beyond the rust and raggedness and return something to its former glory. Good for you!

      I love using old tools! Don't listen to those who say old tools are made of inferior steel and new tools are better designed. Spending gobs of money on high end tools just makes some people feel important.

    I just recently got one of these old vises for free, wondering why on the latch side there is an empty hole, are you supposed to put a bolt through to keep it latched after you have your pipe inserted?
