I just pulled this vise out of my dad's basement workshop. It's been there since I was a kid on his workbench. I'm almost 60. My dad's been gone for 16 years. The vise is in excellent shape. Can't wait to get it on my bench and start using it.
Those National Dried Milk tins you have there -(under the window)- tickled me.....i remember those as a boy when mum used to feed my sister! Kind of goes with the restoration types that you do.....anyone else remember them too!?!
I love to rebuild those things. I have 2 now needing the same treatment. I take to lazy mans way out to clean. White vinegar. Its alot of fun. Tools the same. Smithing is dirty. But tools take care of is very important.
Read the description, I stated I only gave it a simple restoration to make is useable again while being able to keep the character, whether you want to call it a restoration or refurbishment etc. I don't like making old tools perfect as long as they work as intended :)
It’s good to see a man who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty,most vids have guys in gloves.

Excellent practical restoration to prepare an old vise for another lifetime of service. Good work!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Grand ol gal lives on to serve another day. Nice post vice Sir. Looks like a new penny now.
🙏 Blessed days now
Crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️

Very nice job 👍 I had a vice just like that one when I was a kid in the early 60’s
Buen trabajo de restauración, te felicito 🇵🇪
oiled bare metal is the best look for tools.
A lot of effort and good result 👍
Very nice job!
I have a similar post vice I got from my dad
Curious why you didn’t remove the spring… was the spring clamp welded?
Nice work! What did you use to get that really dark color on it. I am rebuilding the very same one.
Looks great.
Muito bom trabalho. Me diz, essa morsa torno que você usou, é a mesma do outro vídeo? 🇧🇷👍
How much is one like that worth
That is awesome
Should have the jaws machined and new jaws made fthen drilled and taped into old jaws. Then again I'm more about usability of a tool
How did you clean the inside of the nut?
For goodness sake,put some HEAT on it!
😍😍😍
this is a refurbish, not a restoration... only 2/3 of the vise was disassembled and cleaned, no repairs were preformed while doing this vice
