I assume, the previous owner in 1911 was of german ascendance.. "Koch" is a common surename here in Germany, translated to cook. German surenames oftes originate in professions.. Schmidt = smith, Müller = miller, Fischer = fisherman, Wolf = robber in the woods, Schneider = taylor and so on. Probably high quality items were created in this particular vise back then.. Thanks for the effort you invested and sharing it. The Result is spectacular! Greetings from aboard!
I’ll post something about them on my instagram soon. @makeeverythingshop . I noticed the vise I got came with a few that were clearly waterjet from thick plate. They seem simple to remake
Fantastic R&R on this incredible vise, CHRIS!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The stories it could tell. You have done the original owner, PROUD!🙏 Better than factory new! Bravo Bravo!👍👍
Holy smokes, I hate you and I am jealous... I have been hunting one of these for over 5 years now after seeing my first one at a local ranch estate sale. Sadly, it was NFS at that estate sale.
This would be called the universal bench vise, it’s basically a pattern makers vise I guess, but the actual labeled pattern makers vises are mounted under a bench top
Exquisite work on a beautiful work of tool maker's artwork. Gives me vise envy. IIWMI'D have painted over the owner's signature then gold highlight that for posterity, other than that I like that you fixed the original casting incongruities for more optimal work. Sort of " blueprinting" the design.
@@Coconut7403 I’ve had great luck with it but I recently got the smaller m18 bandsaw and use that much more. It was just in the truck during this resto
I too watched Mr Ruckers' video and went, ooooo! 😂 Nice acquisition and addition to your collection. That drill press vice of yours is something else, too. You got a link for that?
Awesome restoration video! You should definitely do more equipment restoration content 😊. What is the belt grinder you're using here? Do you have an affiliate link for it?
Just when i thought I've seen enough vise resto's this thing of beauty pops up on my screen! Outstanding!!
He engraved it in 1911.
For all we know, he could have been making parts for the Wright Brothers. 😎
@@wizrom3046 you’re right! I love the potential history of this thing!
You could just say you went to metric because it's superior ;)
OH YEEEEAH !

Could you share the specs of the swivel jaws to this vise. They are really rare and hard to find. Great vid, thank you!

Beautiful vise! Never seen one like that before! Too bad the video was speeded up. Hard to follow at times.

The name Koch is pronounced "cook" but not with the CH sound.
Great video lots of work but super cool much love chop chop
The vise hoarder bug is the best bug to have. That one is a beaut!!
a very respectful idea to keep the pre-owned "signature" clean & visible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
well played 😊
I thought it necessary considering I have very few tools with links back to the original owner or a real date. Let the memory live on
My only vice is a Wilton vise. Those Emmerts are very trick and pricey. Is that the patternmaker model?

Gloves while using a power wheel 😮
Is that bosch portaband any good? I am thinking about getting one.

Excellent work, and a thoughtful tribute to its original owner. Well done.
Attention to detail is what really makes a restoration worth the time. The gold paint is a nice touch. Have good days!
New subscriber here. You did a great job restoring that vice.
I’ve seen one in central Florida two years ago.
Very nice restoration and excellent narration.
2:11 Wow. That is some kind of work bench.
The old ones are by far the best!!
Why the heck are these not made anymore?
I have its big brother a 10A
Wanna sell it to me 👀👀👀 I love this style!
@@MakeEverything Naw, took me ten years to convince the guy I got off to part with it. Rare in America even rarer here in Australia.
I have this ones twin.
It’s an amazing vice!!
I can't wait to get started cleaning mine up. It needs soft jaws also, i had heard they were babbit originally. @@MakeEverything
Amazing vise 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
