Bravo! Far more realistic in terms of what we normal guys have to work with in a small shop. Some of these restoration guys use milling machines and so on, fill every factory pit in the casting, and apply an automotive-quality finish. They seem to forget it is a tool, and meant to be used. Down to earth is the way to go.
I also have a “Tiny Workshop” in the one car garage. I really enjoy this channel because you don’t have all the machinist tools, milling machines, and blasting cabinets and yet you still produce AWESOME restorations. This channel gives guys like me more confidence to attempt things like this the “regular guy” tiny workshop.
what kind of air compressor do you have for your sandblasting cabinet? how much air does it put out? i want to buy a sandblasting cabinet myself, but i don’t have a strong compressor and need to figure out how moch i really need to spend on that.
Hi I have the Hyundai HY3150S. This is the absolute smallest you should get. If you have space and a better budget I’d suggest to go bigger. I use it for approximately 2 mins 30 seconds at 100psi before the pumps turns on again.
Since I have purchased a relic record 23, I've watched a few of these restoration videos for guidance and inspiration. This is the best one so far. Very nice result. Thanks for sharing
My neighbor has just gifted me a lovely big vise that has been bolted down outside for since 1970 , should be fun The way you did this one has really been an inspiration
This was a truly remarkable transformation. Great work! I'm starting to restore my Vanderman #1 vise this week. I did a little research and learned my vise was made between the late 1800s and early 1900s. I waslooking for some inspiration. I found it!
For future reference. Anytime you want to bring a large surface to a fine finish, never use your hand to back up the abrasive. Always use a block of some kind under the sheet. This insure a far flatter surface than the hand can do. It maintains flatness. The larger the block under the abrasive sheet, the better the finish will appear when done.

he makes so muts more mistakes then that. like why polis before paint. why sandblast lid paint, etc. why use bad metal bolt in handle , it mate broke long run
you can always tell when these vids aren't from the USA, the brake clean actually cleans like the stuff from 20 years ago. warm water and dawn dish soap does a better job that the brake clean that's available nowadays for us. count yourselves lucky you can still get the good stuff
Total pleasure watching you restore that, blinding job, you only get back what u put in & you put in spades, thank you for sharing my friend👍🏴🏴, love from Scotland .....
Well done sir, a damn fine job. I really enjoyed watching this video. You have transformed that rough old vice into a thing of beauty, fair play to you.
Another spectacular restoration my friend. It’s like watching an Arts conservator. Conservation and restoration of cultural heritage at it’s finest. 🛠🥇💯
Absolutely beautiful. I've just got a Record No 25 Vice of my nextdoor neighbour. It's over 41kg in weigh and about 43 years old. I would love to refurbish this vice as good as this high standard. Well done.
Look's as if it were new out the box, superb job mate, I'm addicted to restoration videos ( I do restore stuff myself but I've yet to film anything as I'm a wee bit daunted about editing, I will get into it soon though) who needs netflix when you have youtube for free???.
Carpet tape behind sand paper, copper jaws, Dragon Paint. Ill take that. Loverly work m8. Started my 84 (again) today. Had it 35 years. Did my other Record Monday.
I like your approach. I see many of these types of videos where something is restored to the point where it's almost a museum piece. This vice looks like it can be used as intended. I also like how you don't have all the tools in the world, but you use what you have.
Very nice work, thanks for the video! The first time anybody in my shop asked to use it, I'd say "sure, but don't you dare scratch my polished slide!". 😉
I may as well hand it to ya! It's a good job done without a lathe or mill . And though somebody might do bits a little different, this is a good example of working with what is available may still result in a superb bit of work. I approve of your Record Vice paint colour also ☺
Nice job, I did the same to an old vice that was chucked out from Rolls-Royce in Derby thrown in a skip, massive great thing is was. Your pedestal drill, I found mine at the end of someones drive and managed to get it before the scrap man turned up, restored it, nothing wrong with it.
Nice resto mate, exactly the same vice as mine which was handed down to me from my dad before he passed away, always think about him when im working in my garage, and you have spurred me on to restore mine as well.
That is so nice mate, I think that’s probably the nicest restoration that you have done, I think anyone would be so proud to have that adorning their bench. It’s such a shame that there are no awards for restoration of tooling etc like there are for cars, as you my friend would win concours every time. 😊
This was what I call a satisfying video. I'm currently cleaning up a vice I found in a skip ( with permission ), It appears to be stamped with 1953. I don't think mine will be as posh as yours but I'm looking forward to trying out some of your methods all the same.
Great job. Nice to see the roundel blue paint. I've now got pretty painful rheumatism in the fingers that I've been using for 25 years to grip and file small parts, as you do in his video. I have now started using hand vices whereever possible. You might want to consider restoring a couple of hand vices and saving your hands from this condition. Looking forward to your next restore.
Brilliant work mate looks great. I've recently done a record no 25 in the same rusty condition. Its a lot of work but worth it in the end ....... great solid vintage vices
@@mytinyworkshop1213 absolutely right, Record vices don’t have coloured letters and I love that you used the right blue. Called Roundel blue after the outer ring on the RAF roundel used on their planes. Great restoration and nice replacement bar.
Great job. That’s a lot of work to get it back to as new condition. If that vice didn’t have Record written on it I would have said it was a Parkinson as it’s so similar. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Agreed. Some of the vice patterns are common to several companies. Sometimes from company buyouts and sometimes, possibly, from straight pattern purchases. There's some information on the internet, but it needs a super vice nerd to compile a book.

Thank you. My workshop is half of a 1 car garage. I like showing what a normal person can do. I’m no expert so if I can restore so can everyone else
My work shop is so small I have to go outside just to change my mind

Thank you very much. I’m glad this video has helped.
Kids, birds, sirens. I like the sounds of British sirens. Great work you do.
The good old vice - Must be the single most "restored" item in restoration history. Good work.
Exactly my thought.
Nice to see someone use the proper colour, Roundel Blue. That's how it would've left the Sheffield factory. Nice job👍🏼
That quick release gave me goose bumps
Behind every vise restoration video is a different beat up vise helping out.
Absolutely
Great point!

idk if its really that important in this case as its not a machinist vice

Great restoration! It would appear that you are a man with many vices.
New that’s a great idea using copper for the jaws 👏👏👏👏👏👍
The best restoration I have seen 👏🔧👏🔩👏
All the effort proved worthwhile. Great video tutorial, thank you.
Total pleasure watching you restore that, blinding job, you only get back what u put in & you put in spades, thank you for sharing my friend👍🏴🏴, love from Scotland .....
Thank you very much for understanding mow much work goes into these projects.
Absolutely the best vise restoration video ever.
Wow, thank you

very good job, without fancy machines. pure and nice hobby workshop. great restoration, thnx
Thank you. I like to show what can be done with easily attainable tools.

The quick release makes this a great vice!
you are paying attention to details so your restoration is so nice , well done

So pleased you left the cast surfaces painted, and not filled and sanded. Nice work.
Gorgeous result. That thing is so pretty now, I'd be tempted to put it on my coffee table for decoration ;)
Beautiful job, unusual to see a quick release om this type of vice.
Wow. Super nice. Like the color. Thanks for the project. It's appreciated.
Thank you
As a woman, I never thought I would say this about a vice...but it is quite ...beautiful.
What does your gender have to do with appreciating a lovely piece of machinery?
Thank you.
Very nice restoration of a old vice
Fabulous work my brother 👏
Nice work ! An excellent save of an older vise.
Carpet tape behind sand paper, copper jaws, Dragon Paint. Ill take that. Loverly work m8. Started my 84 (again) today. Had it 35 years. Did my other Record Monday.
Had to watch this badass vise again!!! Wowza. 💯💯💯😍😍👌
Just like new. Very nice job. It will last forever.
Thank you. It sure will last.
The quick release is something I can't believe all vice's don't have.
I like your approach. I see many of these types of videos where something is restored to the point where it's almost a museum piece. This vice looks like it can be used as intended. I also like how you don't have all the tools in the world, but you use what you have.
I thought my Vice restorations were overkill, dude, you have a sandblasting cabinet, I'm not jealous at all. Superb job.
jimmie wilkes wow! beautiful restoration ! enjoyed vidio very much !
Thank you on very much

You are not only number 1.
YOU ARE NUMBER ONE AND TWO AND THREE!!!
Only then come all the others, 4, 5, 6, and so on...
That transformation was a work of art... Brilliant and well done.
travail magnifique, et dire que ce superbe étau partait à la poubelle...c'est aussi ça l'écologie !! bravo à vous
By far the best restored vice...great job!
Thank you

you have successfully restored 👍
The carpet tape to bolster the sand paper is clutch. Thanks for sharing that one.
your welcome. Thank for watching.
I liked your presentation style, interesting just to have the work with no voice over or music, very watchable......great job on the restoration.
Thank you. Glad you liked it
I agree no dam blaring guitar.
1 absolutely outstanding restoration well done indeed
Awesome job my friend thank you for sharing!!
Thank you
Very nice - too nice to go back to work
Beautiful workmanship
You do an obsessively good job and I enjoy every second. Bravo 👏

It's really good I can't call this walrus a tool, that's a gem 💎. Congratulations on your work.
Great job. I've never seen a vise with the level on the bottom to disengage the screw. And thank you for not coloring in the lettering on the device.
Very nice. I haven't been into vice restoring but you have gotten me interested. I have a little cheap on I might try first. Thanks
Thank you. Glad I could be a good influence
Careful. Its addictive : )
Hey MTW... another super restoration. Don't you just love these old British vises? Great work, very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport.
I absolutely love them. Thank you
Cracking job as always and great colour choice 😎👍
Thank you
Excellent job. Looks great!
Using the gunsmith style screwdrivers would really help with slot head screws. Superb find, well done
Top notch job! Love the video quality, I can almost see every grain of rust!
Thank you very much. Even I can’t watch it in full quality. I’ll eventually get 4K to enjoy my own videos.
Really fantastic craftsmanship
Keep up the great work.👍
What a nice job! Congrats!
Really top notch job! Beautiful...
Thank you
A lot of work went into this project, but it was worth it. Great restoration, MTW!!.
Thank you. It sure was a lot of work. But well worth it.
Very inspiring restoration!
Very nice work.. beautiful color...

Thank you. Funny you should saw that, I just purchased a small rusty hand vice. Perhaps I will film a restoration.
great idea... I'm ordering some for myself
Very nicely done.
Not sure how much the mirror finish helps the functionality, but it sure looks pretty. Excellent restoration. Thanks for the video
It only makes is pretty

Nice job. What a great vice
Thank you
Really nice job. I would have a hard time using it now in fear of getting all scratched up... Thumbs Up!
Glad you like it
