Vintage Record 84 Vice / Vise Restoration - Copper Jaw and Mirror Finish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2020
- In this video I will be restoring a vintage record 84 vice. When I saw this vice I knew it was my job to give it a new lease of life.
Since I have so many different vices I decided to make this one a bit special. Seeing that it didn’t come with jaws I took the opportunity to make soft copper jaws. In addition I decided to go agains what I usually do and polish as many parts as possible. After many hours of sanding by hand I was rather pleased with the outcome. I understand the perfectly polished parts will eventually get damaged but that’s just part of the fun (using it). The final part for this restoration was paint. After some searching I managed to find the correct paint code for record tools and a company that sells the paint. Now that I have the correct record paint I will be restoring all my vices properly.
I hope you like the video and share your thoughts in the comments section.

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.
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
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.
@@lesbaty8919 LOL!!
Behind every vise restoration video is a different beat up vise helping out.
Absolutely
Great point!
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.
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.
idk if its really that important in this case as its not a machinist vice
@@woundedmonk1884 ; It all depends on what you want the finished product to look like. If you are content with it, then that is all there is to it. Have great day and stay safe.
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
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!
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
Nice to see someone use the proper colour, Roundel Blue. That's how it would've left the Sheffield factory. Nice job👍🏼
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
Thank you very much. I’m glad this video has helped.
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!". 😉
Thanks. Nobody touches my vices.
Another spectacular restoration my friend. It’s like watching an Arts conservator. Conservation and restoration of cultural heritage at it’s finest. 🛠🥇💯
Thank you very much
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.
The good old vice - Must be the single most "restored" item in restoration history. Good work.
Exactly my thought.
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.
Kids, birds, sirens. I like the sounds of British sirens. Great work you do.
The quick release makes this a great vice!
I thought my Vice restorations were overkill, dude, you have a sandblasting cabinet, I'm not jealous at all. Superb job.
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. 😊
Thank you very much.
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.
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???.
Great job, love the color and copper jaws.
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.
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.
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.
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 ☺
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.
Great restoration! It would appear that you are a man with many vices.
The carpet tape to bolster the sand paper is clutch. Thanks for sharing that one.
your welcome. Thank for watching.
sonama-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep you do good work, even at super fast forward. So good in fact I'd be afeared to use it. Put er in a museum.
Thanks
Great Vid. I wish I could do that, but I'd have all kinds of parts left over 😁
Just try, you might surprise yourself like I do every week. A vice without a quick release is even simpler.
Hey, left over parts is just proof that you can make it better than the factory!
That transformation was a work of art... Brilliant and well done.
.....better than new!
Thank you
Totally agree!!
The best restoration I have seen 👏🔧👏🔩👏
You do an obsessively good job and I enjoy every second. Bravo 👏
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.
you are paying attention to details so your restoration is so nice , well done
I can just imaging the wife shouting out the window “have you seen the kitchen roll love?”
“Errr no dear” 🤫
The quick release is something I can't believe all vice's don't have.
Absolutely the best vise restoration video ever.
Wow, thank you
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.
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
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.
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
That quick release gave me goose bumps
Awesome job my friend thank you for sharing!!
Thank you
Cracking job as always and great colour choice 😎👍
Thank you
Nice work ! An excellent save of an older vise.
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.
Really cool project. You've inspired me to try restoring my own tools. (not as easy as it looks) Love the channel.
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 🇦🇺
Thank you. It sure is similar.
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.
Beautiful job, unusual to see a quick release om this type of vice.
Thank you very much, I was just given one of these, and your video was very helpful!
Gorgeous result. That thing is so pretty now, I'd be tempted to put it on my coffee table for decoration ;)
So pleased you left the cast surfaces painted, and not filled and sanded. Nice work.
All the effort proved worthwhile. Great video tutorial, thank you.
Love this restoration. Great job
By far the best restored vice...great job!
Thank you
I notice other RUclips restoration channels are afraid of welding on screen. There is no need for the fear. The brightest color a screen can reproduce is white. All viewers are completely safe looking at a *recorded* welding arch. Looking at one in real life-that is the danger.
This restoration was awesome, over the top!
Thank you.
I don’t weld on camera because the flashing images can cause a seizure with people who are sensitive to flashing lights.
Fair enough. I had considered that too, but didn’t think the flashing was enough to do that. But I could be wrong. Great job!
You must consider the bright welding light going thru your camera lens and focuses on the inside of the camera and maybe hurt or burn your camera's insides????
That vise came out beautiful, like a work of art. I enjoyed this video.
So cool... So utterly freaking cool!
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
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
Thank you. Congrats on doing your vice.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 cheers mate I like the copper jaws idea you did
Beautiful work! A word of caution: the copper and steel are dissimilar metals and will set up a galvanic cell. Watch for corrosion!
Could the development of the galvanic cell be prevented by placing a buffer between the steel jaws and the copper?
If so, what would you recommend?
Plastic/nylon?
Rubber?
Wood? (What kind?)
Zink.
You can limit the galvanic action simply by using a paper or thin plastic barrier between the two dissimilar metals. Even oil or grease will work, but checking on the connection between the two should be part of regular maintenance. Anti seize should be used on the threads as well.
I bet you lot are fun at party’s
I thought that when i saw it. Perhaps wood could be used for jaws. Not as hard or precise as copper, but replaceable and softer on the pieces there.
I have a very similar vice i have found and intend to get back working so this was excellent to watch.
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
Outstanding job "Thats the way to restore it" :) Steve UK
Work of art.
Had to watch this badass vise again!!! Wowza. 💯💯💯😍😍👌
travail magnifique, et dire que ce superbe étau partait à la poubelle...c'est aussi ça l'écologie !! bravo à vous
It's really good I can't call this walrus a tool, that's a gem 💎. Congratulations on your work.
New that’s a great idea using copper for the jaws 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Wow! That was amazing.
Thank you
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.
Really top notch job! Beautiful...
Thank you
That is a really cool vise. Excellent job. 👍 Need to paint those raised letters/numbers. Love those soft copper jaws.
Thank you. I don’t like painting raised letters on 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.
@@mytinyworkshop1213 IMO don't paint the letters.

Very nice job. Patience pays off.
Thank you. It sure does
Beautiful work, I would almost be nervous about using it👍
Thanks, me too
Wow! Impressive resto!
She is a beauty!
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.
Work of art! Not sure if I would ever use it !
Very nice! I haven't seen one with the release on it like that, cool!
Very nice work! I like the way that turned out.
Thank you
