Lovely job ! After disassembly and scraping off the worst of the crud, I have found the best way to degrease and remove paint, is to simmer it in a Caustic Soda bath for an hour or so before hitting it with a pressure washer. Then into the electrolysis tank. As opposed to wire brushes grinding discs, flap discs and the like, this method takes it back to clean bare metal without removing the metal itself, and you can then make an informed decision on how much you wish to clean up .... conservation vs. restoration. Some like 'em shiny some prefer to leave old casting flashes etc untouched for posterity. Either way I would never take a power tool to bearing surfaces and ways. All that would do is increase slop or backlash into the vice.
It's Beautiful!! Love the green hammered paint. It's what I am going to use on my vise. But I did like the look of the polished vise just before you did body fill and painted it as well! Well done sir!
Hi Stu, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, you should post a video of your restoration on your channel😊👍 we've a new rare vice video coming out soon😊watch this space👍😊
Now that's how you do a restoration...... I see these other videos where they have that casting flash all over the place and don't take the time to remove it. They just paint over it and call it good. Thanks for showing how it SHOULD ALWAYS be done.
Now that came out really nice. You displayed your craftsmanship and attention to detail in this project. Enjoyed the video and please keep them coming in. Texas is watching.
Howdy Paul, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I've loads of vintage and interesting tools lined up for this year👍😊
Ben said this was you 1st vice restoration, wow, you have skilled hands, flexible imagination with your power tools setups & acres of patience. Is made a conscious decision to Sub when you started rubbing back the Hammerite for 2nd coat, who does that, you did! Keep the uploads coming, & again ‘Brilliant’ restoration.
Hi Stephen, thank you for your kind comment, it's great to have you on board, I'm so glad you liked the video and there are lots of great projects scheduled for this year👍😊
Beautiful restoration. This vise looks pristine - too beautiful to use. Extra points are due for the great job in removing rusted damaged screws. This can be tedious, difficult work, but you made it look easy. Thanks for saving this rare old vise.
Hi Pat, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I'm certainly glad to have had the opportunity to restore this lovely bit of tool history👍😊
Looks fantastic 👌 great restoration and the end result is perfect. I picked up a tip off Blackbeard projects when you have stubborn bolt like that with the head already removed, he flattened each side with the dremel and then used a small wrench on it.
Just found this video, I didn’t know VONO made vices, or that Duport (Dudley Port founderies) owned them. VONO were famous for making beds! I have learned something today!

Hi RESTORATION OF SCRAP METAL, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, keep up the great work on your channel and congratulations on reaching 1000 subs😊👍
I recently used the very same Hammerite Hammered Dark Green on my own Record Vice restoration. Best colour in my opinion. Nice job you did, but I would leave casting marks rather than try and smooth them out, they are original.
Hi mę mÿ bikë ń ì, thank you so much for your great comment, the green really is a great colour and it looked great on your Dad's vice😊👍keep up the great work on your channel👍😊
Привет, большое спасибо за ваш добрый комментарий, я очень рад, что вам понравилось видео. Мое следующее видео про тиски - старые тиски Советского Союза, которые могут вам понравиться. Продолжайте в том же духе на своем канале, надеюсь, однажды вам повезет👍😊
Hi 357magdad, thank you so much for your kind comment, it means a great deal😊I really look forward to watching the video when you do get the chance to use it👍😊
If you intend to paint steel, don't polish it. Paint sticks best to the sand-blasted surface you originally had. Remember, ALWAYS apply primer to a sand-blasted surface no more than 1hr since blasting, steel will visibly start to rust in that time.
Dark Green Hammerite is one of my favourite finishes, I did a garden bench in that colour several years ago and it still looks fresh! I didn't bother to sand it back and coat again though, I think you went a bit mad there! Great video and project, thanks for sharing, all the best

Hi Little Restorers, thank you so much for your kind comment, those screws sure can be a pain😫keep up the great work on your channel, loving Uncle Jim's hat stand👍😊
Absolutely beautiful job and enjoyed watching it. Can I ask a question please. Why do you polish the Vise and then fill it. Wouldn't it be easier the other way around .many Thanks
Hi Martin, thank you so much for your comment, I'm really glad you liked the video. The reason for polishing with the wire wheel before filling was to ensure that the surface was clean and gave a good key for the filler. If I filled and then buffed the piece there was also a good chance of bringing off some of the filler I had put in. The filler was there only to fill the minor imperfections left after all the other processes had been completed, as you will have seen, only a small amount of filler remained after sanding it back👍😊
I’m working on restoring a Parker (bent handle) now. You have inspired me to do a better job than my past restorations. Just a beautiful job and enjoyable to watch!
Looks really good !! but would have looked better, if you prime sprayed & sanded and topcoated with same color metallic spray paint, also would have saved a lot of time.
It's neat to see the before and after and you did an excellent job with the restoration. It would almost be nice just to do a cleaning - a rejuvenation of it and leave the war scars and the time earned patina. Nice, nice job thou.
Your final result is a testament to the effort you put in. But the vise would have been perfectly usable with a quicky "dissassemble, wire brush everything, reassemble with grease". TBH, it would have been usable with no work at all, or possibly just some lubrication.
Not to disparage your work; lord knows I couldn't do ANY of what you've done (except maybe paint something), but those new jaws don't look quite right. Do they meet flush when the vise is closed?
Hi Dave, thank you for your great comment, I've just re-watched the video and I see why you ask the question, I think it must have been the angle that I filmed the last few shots, in reality jaws married up a treat👍😊
My only complaint would be I really wish you'd learn about primer. I always use two coats of primer one white the other red then paint. Other than that good job. AND no, as a matter of fact two coats of paint isn't the same thing.
Hi Ken, thank you for your comment, I take on board what your saying, unfortunately the manufacturer of Hammerite, the paint in use, advocates that it is applied straight to bare metal with no need for a primer.
Actually a good job, but sandblasting a thread and machining functional surfaces with a simple belt sander does not really work. However, this does not matter with this simple vise.
Hi A Kobayashi, thank you for your comment, it's always good to hear different views on the subject of restoration, I personally like the letters to be highlighted but I totally see where your coming from😊👍
