One of the reasons his channel is so satisfying is rarely mentioned: excellent video technique. Other KZreadrs should take notes. What he does well: High quality camera, steady slow movements, good length of shots, appropriate cuts, good lighting, good angles and closeup use, keeping his body and arms out of the way, sparing and informative use of titles, high quality sound and levels. He also has a clean space and even his fingernails are clean. Kudos.

what i don't understand on the jaws, why the hell are they making a throughhole for the bolt instead of a bottoming one? In this case you have more surface where you could put pressure on. There should be a hole only 3-5mm deep, it's just for alignment...

@@CrazyThunderbird you're only partially right. it does reduce the surface area, but in doing so you get more pressure. the main advantage is one of detaching the jaws if they get deadlocked. you can drill out the pin accurately instead of having to grind the whole jaw down. jaws get locked frequently because of the constant pressure, the exposed metal, and the common lack of grease or sealer between the jaws and the body

​@TheJR1948 I doubt he "has no idea" as you seem to believe. A man who works with that many tools on a regular basis and displays such a high level of machining would know what the tools were made for. However, the tools he restores are gradually added to the collection in his workshop or maybe given to friends who need them if he already has one (though that's just a possibility I thought of for cases like this where he already owns the kind of tool he's restoring). So, it seems to me that he's just making them more custom to personal use while also paying homage to the original workmanship by not changing too many elements.

That old handle went a loooong way!! This is probably the best vice restoration I've seen yet.

I love when he is making the screws and filing the heads.. 2 swipes of the file and a seamless edit to show the rounded screw head.. it’s the little things, the little details that make this an awesome channel..

Seeing the parts get clean in the sandblaster is so satisfying, it must be a joy to use.

As an old machinist I love to see all the edges and drilled holes chamfered and the casting marks filed down smooth. Great work!

It is 3 kinds of people who hit the dislike button on these videos: 1) Those who are jealous of this guy for having such a huge following; 2) Those who are jealous of those with skills when they have none, and 3) Those who hate "how-to" videos with no narration. But the funny thing is, no matter if you click to like or dislike a video, it's still good for it's algorithms.

They didn't mean to, they just have really lousy aim.

An electronician, probably.

I never watched any restoration videos, until one of your videos came as suggested. Now I love your videos, you are a perfectionist. I like your focus on minute details, your mechanical craftsmanship, video editing skills, and end result always inspires and makes you go in awe of your efforts. Keep inspiring and keep up the good work. And Go Make a New One💙

Same here! And I don’t even know why it popped up but I’m glad it did!

I've recently watched many other restoration channels and not one of them even comes close to the detail and high quality of craftsmanship that you do. Also, you are much more enjoyable to watch work than any of them.

You have done a magnificent job. I envy your equipment. You have all the tools to do perfect restoration. That does not take anything away from what you have done with a very neglected and damaged vise.
