The thing I love about these videos is that the sheer artistry in restoring the item, and fabricating missing parts is so mesmerizing that I find myself watching and loving videos like this. Before, if you were to ask me, "Would you like to watch 20 minutes of someone restoring a vice" I would have said no thanks, but having seen this I have found that it doesn't matter what is being restored, it is still completely satisfying to watch.

@ericpetersen230

11 ай бұрын

@j p I agree on technicality but not tone or spirit. Yes, technically, the finished vise is in different condition from factory. It has nickel plating on hardware that very well could have been left in the white, it is more than likely not the exact same tone of paint, and many of the original casting defects that would have been "good enough" had this gone to market from Wilton's factory. I might even go so far as to say the replacement of many likely forged components (handles) with machined equivalents would bring this from out of the realm of a pure 1:1 'restoration'. This vise was partially functional, if battered, and so an argument could also be made that this wasn't a 'restoration of function' either. HOWEVER: this vise retained almost all of it's original parts. The only parts that were replaced (aside from the jaws) were done so because they were no longer serviceable, and with great care to replicate the form of their counterparts. There is an obvious care given in this (and other content of theirs) to return the item to the original or higher quality condition. Also, this is art. These restorations take inordinate amounts of time and well over the cost of the original item (even retail), and provide no better, and in many cases worst, utility to the user. This is done for their own enjoyment first, and our edification as viewers second. Please, kindly, blow that snarky gatekeep-y 'not real restoration' bullcrap out of your overtightened rear.

Excellent work. This was a great refurb of the vice, seen so often on YT but rarely to this level. Personal preference, I like to see the original badge, label etc if its not too far gone. Gives a hint of the true age of the piece. If its completely destroyed however, recreate it, sure. But this one didnt seem too bad to be honest.
