This has to be one of the best restorations in terms of how absolutely destroyed the beginning piece-work was. Wow.

WOW! Never in my life have I seen such an abused tool ! Yet you have made it both functional & pleasing to the eye. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! When I saw that vise I thought it was way past the point of 'no return' ... but you stuck with it so all credit to you. Great result. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Southport.

Excellent restoration. This "throw-away- world we are living in has got to stop. It all started with the BIC pen.

Yes, man. This is the correct work that depends on mastery, sophistication and focus. Otherwise, it is better to leave it.👏👏🙋‍♂️

That one has had a hard life. Amazing reconstruction 👍

Amazing job! Now that was a true restoration. Thank you for saving this tool. It has many more years of useful life thanks to you.

That turned out much better than I thought possible. Great job. 👍👍👍

Bravo. Seriously, bringing that one back is impressive.

Looks like either high school kids or apprentices learnt their drilling techniques on it. I guess it got to the point where it was more hole than vice, so they chucked it out. Amazing job, Mate, that was just little more than a lump of scrap metal when you started.

I love this restoration! I am in the process of restoring some of my gramps engineering tools that I was lucky enough to inherit and a nippy vice is one of them. I struggled so hard separating the jaw from the threaded bar, in the end I heated it up until it almost glowed which done the trick, it was a last resort as I was petrified of bending the bar! Mine too has the makers mark on the jaw as well. Great work all the best Ryan

I really enjoyed this restoration I think it is the contrast between the starting state and the final restored condition. Thanks.

Inspirational. Lovely restoration of a dead vice.

I couldn't quite tell from the thumbnail, once I got a good look at the damage I was sure parts of this were write-offs but man was I wrong! Brilliant job, you went more than the extra mile and truly brought this back from the brink... we say that a lot in restorations but sooo true here!

Very nice work !! Great job filling in all those drill hole's you would never know they were there !! Alot of time and patience paid off good sir !! Looks great love that 🔨 blue paint !! From totally trashed to totally useable !! Very nice work !! 👍👍👍

Holy Toledo, what a difference! Nicely done.

Brilliant restoration. Just the job for your pillar drill. Really looking forward to the next project 🙂

What have you and every other Restoration video person on KZread have against securing your tools/work to the table to prevent it from moving? Incredibly dangerous! Love the videos, hate the disregard for safety.

Thomas Van Driel I don’t think I’m overly unsafe, quite often I will have a different set up when I’m taking shots compared to when I’m actually carrying out the bulk of the work, clamps etc can get in the way of the shot! It does annoy me when my vice moves around but I haven’t decided where I want it to live yet...

WOW! Super!

This wasnt a "Restoration" it was a Revival!! That thing was Dead!!!! Lol was the previous owner a Blind and trying to drill a record amount of holes in a vise? Lol Beautiful Job!

Good job. And what wire did you use for welding this vise? Is it made from cast iron?

Nice job. Someone really abused that thing for an extended period. If you ever get jammed up on screw pitches, length, etc.; you can get some threaded rod and make the caps yourself. Or, simply fill them in with weld and tap them to a more convenient thread pitch for your part of the world. I like how you tried to keep it original. Considering the shape it was in; quite difficult. Nevertheless, very nice restore on a difficult subject matter.

Can I just ask, please would you secure your vise to the bench? Watching you file down with a loose vise made me think you’re wasting time because you can’t get a full stroke on the material. Otherwise, great restoration.

Good job mash'Allah

Really GOOD job! I wonder who was the original "Artist" with the drillpress?

WOW man! That was a lot of divots you had to fix. Was it cold in your shop? It looked a little Nippy in there.

In the words of Mr Pete, "Bubba at his best" Bubba must have been the previous owner of this tattered vice.

_i have several questions about your workflow_ - *why are both the grinder motor* (for polishing and brushing) *and the vice not mounted to the table* - why didnt you make the top surfaces of the small vice (not the sliding surfaces) flat too?

Did you consider a light skim with a milling machine just to tidy up the bed of the vice? Draw filing might have helped too.

Would it not have been easier to just make new top plates for the jaws?

There speed holes!

Very nicely done sir. Above and beyond the call of duty that one. Its criminal how some people treat their drill press vices. in good condition those Nippy vices are fetching around a hundred quid on ebay. Has Hammerite blue changed colour?

"Cast iron" can refer to different things. In a machine tool, what you're often looking at is cast _ductile_ iron(aka. black iron), not the metal used for old cast iron cookware(aka. grey iron).

¿Swiss vise or swiss cheese? Thanks for the video.

To my knowledge Murray Son ltd made Nippy vice's and not Record,i own a Nippy myself and it clearly has Murray Son ltd stamped into the jaws,Murray Son ltd might have made castings for Record at some point but i don't think they were ever bought out by Record like Woden and Parkinson were,also Whitworth thread is the worlds first national standard thread, BSW (British Standard Whitworth) so in the UK we still have a fair bit of Whitworth knocking about on old equiptment, you can still buy it, you just need to know where to get it thats all.

haemhorrhoidian cheers for the info, I did a bit of research before and found a site stating that record distributed the vices and had a lot to do with the company in the later days, just presumed they’d bought them out. This one had Jones and shipman jaws on it, but that vice was a different design casting, I’m thinking this one came from a college or something and they chopped and changed parts from different vices over the years. I have loads of spare BSW fixings laying around but for the life of me I couldn’t find any cheese head screws for sale! If you have a link to where I could get some I’d really appreciate it, would love to put the proper screws in it rather than the UNC cap heads I used

Now i did some digging about and there happens to be a ton of sellers on Ebay who stock BSW,there's one particular seller who has 1/4" x 1 1/2" BSW BZP Cheese heads in stock :-) just copy and past the size into Ebay ;-) chips as cheap too,i'll probably stick them in my watch list for spares so's to speak.
