Like an old aged King asked the guy to restore his childhood vise.. and the guy restored it with honor and respect.. 🙏

I’d have left the marks around the jaws, yes I’d have fixed the chip at the jaw, and the anvil area and left the rest, when the old aged king asked me about them, I’d have said “ to remind you as you gaze at it, that you had a wonderful childhood”
probably one of the best restorations on KZread

This might be the best tool restoration video I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Wonderful job.
This is possibly the most impressive restorations I've ever seen. That thing was absolutely brutalized and it looks better than it ever did new. A work of art
It is beyond a restoration. It is improved from the original factory condition. But now it is too nice to use.

Excellent restore.The way it should be done…I would say ..upgraded !! Cool looking vice
Oh man it's been a long time since I saw a vintage Wilton. That was built back when everything had soft swoopy lines and lots of curves. Back when everything looked like an airplane lol. It's a beautiful vise, and you did a great job restoring it.
Stunning work. I recently returned home with my fathers collection of rusty anvils, vices, tongs etc. You’ve inspired me to clean them up.
One of the most satisfying restoration videos I've had the pleasure to watch. Beautifully done!
It's actually ridiculous how beautiful it looks
That old Wilton had seen some rough times but you took it back to better than factory new. Great work!!

THAT. IS. BEAUTIFUL!!!
Beautifully engineered vise. Meticulous restoration to preserve this piece of history. Thank you for sharing,
The most beautiful vice I've seen. This tool looks usually very utilitarian but this manufacturer invested in good design as well, which is rare.
This has been my favorite vise project I have seen on KZread. It is gorgeous and I love the process you did to restore it. I've watched people sand blast, use electrolysis, all sorts of things. You were successful using chemicals and hand tools. Just phenomenal!

Wow, much MUCH better than new, great work
Awsome find and work! I did a quick search and the company still exists and makes these vises after 70+ years.
As usual, vintage artwork fit for a King!
I'm in love with your bench grinder.
Thank you for posting. My neighbor gave me the same model vise. I wouldn't have known how to disassemble to clean or where to lube without your video.

You can get a Wilton for around 3-7 hundred used, and new bullet vises range drastically
This man is the Yehudi Menuhin of restoration of stuff, and how to do a YT video. My idea of an engineering masterpiece is to change the four spark plugs on my old 1990 TP Magna wagon. But, without much fear of contradiction, this is the best video I've ever seen on YT. Hands down! No 'music' or yakety yak. Dear God...thank you!!! Visually, wonderfully informative. It was also an excellent instruction lesson. Fully excellent production. It was as though I was standing next to MM while he was doing the job. The blokes in the factory that made this vice would be looking down from heaven with tears in their eyes. Thank you!
Gorgeous, it’s art.
You done a fantastic job restoring the wilton vice. Absolutely stunning

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART MY FRIEND!!!
Excellent! Its a great looking vise. I like that you painted it black also. A great color for a classic item.
Having done two Wilton bullet vise restorations, neither as good as yours, my favorite part was first that you were lucky to get a vise with the end-cap in fairly good shape. And then you were particularly meticulous in correcting it's form and sanding it smooth. The impact on the finished restoration sets off well against the re-machined jaws. Very nice indeed!

An A+ effort, perfect and thank you for lubing all interior surfaces, one thing I would have put a washer between the swivel hold down bolt on each side and the base, the tightening and loosening over time will wear the paint on the base away. Really can be proud of such a great result!
That was the utmost perfection in a restore. I was really impressed. Keep up that caliber of work.
Résultat époustouflant ! Super 👍

I have a vise identical to this one. Unrestored and I still use it almost every day. This was a high end vise back in 1949. A vise like this one today would cost $600 USD. Beautiful restoration.

I also have the same vice that is used daily at my business. If you could find one at $600 I would buy it! Wilton still sells them today, its $1750 for a 6” wide Bullet vice.
Killer! One of the best restos ever! Great job, Sir!
