Only really one additional comment of somethings you can add to the vice to make it more useful 1. The unused large screw location on the side of the vice - That is used to fabricate a work-piece stop: Very useful with the DRO on the machine for repeatability 2. If you look under the vice again you will see several slots - They are the same width as your T-slots: You can bolt in a pair of pieces of ground toolsteel - shape a taper on the lower slide and they will be fixed in the T-slot and aligned almost perfectly with the machine bed - That allows you to make notes of the fixed vice location with the DRO so you don't have to clock the vice for every job

There are very few more satisfying things in life than restoring mechanical components and putting it all back together again! Great job 👏

Nice restoration! One thing: I didn't see any lube during assembly. IMO, every metal to metal surface should be lubed during assembly, including screws.

The older vice looks way better than today's boxy designs. It's very sleek in appearance.

9:20 the vice looks unhappy even terrified getting the filler treatment

You could have skimmed the ways and machined surfaces with your mill, it'd be faster and more accurate. That vice probably is out of square on all axes now.

I think the only reference surface on that type of vice is the removable jaws. When its mounted all he has to do is tram that surface in and lock it down.

Like jordan said, only the fixed jaw of a vice is to be taken as a reference surface. If you tram that in you are done. The only association that needs to be perfect is the angle between the vertical of the fixed jaw and the axis of the spindle which need to be parallel. Then the x axis is trammed in and that's it. No other part if the vice needs to be square to anything.

@@stathisbikos6563 In a way you're right. If the bottom of the vice was true, it's not now. So, anything else he does with it won't matter. It will be out.

@@stathisbikos6563 except if the thing is warped since he sanded the bottom and it's probably not flat anymore and when you mount non flat surface to a falt one, you'll twist it. You can't tram a warp out easily or not at all. Then he'd have to shim that bottom surface and that would ruin the contact surface area and cause other issues with stability etc... so umm...

Always makes me happy when someone tells me that they are working through all my old videos, so I figured I would let you know I am now doing the same for your channel. Great work, it’s been a fun few days.

pro tip: polished stone tiles from a store (like the 3-5cm thick ones) are usually astonishingly flat, much flatter than any piece of particle board could ever be, so those make the perfect surface for sanding something flat on a budget. (sure its not as good as a proper flat stone but still)

Kudos on this project! There are foundry employees, manufacturering personnel, industrial reps, setting up in their graves applauding the product that they manufactured a century ago that sits proudly on your milling table. Beautiful remanufacturing job.

I love how detailed oriented you are when you do your projects. Awesome job man. Love the videos.

after watching this , im going to have to restore mine !! great restore

Can’t wait to see this vice used in a new video!

Great video! Thanks for taking your time and showing how you work.

Discovered this channel pretty much right after deciding to make a custom desk, funny coincidence.

Nothing better than using a tool or machine that you have restored. Well done.

That now has to be the nicest looking vice I've ever seen! Great job and fantastic attention to detail!

This was so oddly satisfying! I love how much work you put into restoring such a beautiful and useful machine. Such a labor of love!! Great job!!

Awesome Restoration, i cant imagine the pleasure of working with the Brand New Restored Vice

One of my subscribers told me to check out this video... Glad he did! Awesome job! Thanks!

Great work

Awesome job, and also the best blue color!

Awesome video the difference is definitely in the details you put in.

Outstanding work, great video

Loved this, your content is still so top notch! Looking forward to the next ones!

I 3D printed a hand knob for when I am placing small parts in my vice rather than having to crank around the whole handle. Then I tighten it with the regular handle. The other tin I did was machine a step in the top of each jaw for holding small bars and plates.

This video is so satisfying

11:15 when a vice has a better paint job than my car.

Nice to see someone that is not using nitrile cloves all the time.

This color is beautiful!

That looks amazing!

This looks amazing! I love the shine on that!

They made beautiful vises back in the day.

It looks extremely nice! The result is very clean!

If I may suggest... more lathe work ... use the end mill to flatten stuff and make screws nice as My Mechanics does...and equally so, perfect things on the lathe. The painted parts came out nice but I think viewers like seeing stuff made new. :) But you're off to a good start. I just think you can make people like it even more.

I like your videos, but the music was louder than your voice in some parts of ths, like when you were talking about refinishing the machine screws.

loved the choice of music. great restoration

That turned out sharp! That paint/filler job is crazy.

I really love your restoration, really wonderful job 👍

Really nice work!

An outstanding job with deepest attention for details. 👏👏👏 It looks more like a miracle than a restoration! 😮

I enjoy watching all your videos. congratulations

Thanks, that turned out great!

Beautiful work my man, I would have been fine with way less lol I got a good tip once: try to swap the bearing plate (16:13) out for a needle thrust bearing. That way the screw will go much easier and smoother.

Very nice work!

sooooo satisfying to watch)

Looks like a old palmgren vise. Nice job

That was amazingly satisfying. Subscribed :)

Awesome restoration!

So amazing and satisfying video. I love it

Good job, well done ! Greetings from Bavaria (Germany)

I actually subscribed before you finished. Love your attention to detail. Thanks mate. 🇦🇺👍

Great restoration my friend,great job and color,keep up the good work !!!!

great job great looking vise

Wow! Great video. Huge variety of angles, great close-ups and well edited. That's a lot of work. Cool vise, too.

Beautiful Restoration!!!!!!!!

Recently 'discovered' your channel. Great content and skilled restauration. Besides that, also the editing and quality of the video is very high. You deserve much more subscribers! Won't take long before your channel takes a flight... 💪👍

I really wish I had some of your skills..good job!

Amazing work here! Looking forward for more :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Great work there. Well done!

What a nice work 🙏🏾

beautiful work

Nice job on the vise!!!!

Love that restoration. That old clamp is a sexy bit of kit for the shop. So much better than something from Harbor Freight!

Damn that looks smooth! Like a 60s sports car. Nice work, did you do any measurements afterwards? Would be interesting to know what the geometry is like after removing all the rust

Great job! Very inspiring. I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and i love your videos. One thing that can be improved is the different sound level between moments when you talk and moments of music. I always need to play with the volume :) Keep up!

congrats on finding the hardest way to refinish it

Great job taking it to an automotive finish. I didn’t for my vise restoration (see it on my channel) and mine took forever so I can’t imagine how much footage isn’t in this video. Taking tape off is satisfying!

Fantastic result!! Great work this is the 4th video in a row on your channel, great content 👍🏻

Very nice result, we have exactly the same one in our videos 🤩

Beautiful restoration (also the Bridgeport). Subscribed, looking forward to more!

Very nice job...you are a craftsman

you're really good at this keep it up man

Nice vise!

Awesome work!

You did an EXCELLENT job!! The only one thing I would have done in addition is to repair the chips on the Vise Jaws by welding and then dressing them. Other than that - it's spectacular!

Beautiful job mate. Well done.😀

Fantastic restoration! Thanks for sharing

Amazing restoration, it's a different kind of restoration video and i like it, subscribed!

Nice restoration mate!

Found your channel last weekend and watched a whole bunch of your videos since then. Your awesome. Love the channel.

New to your channel. Really enjoyed this video. I’m starting the binge process on your older videos. 😂

nice job well done mate

Quality work 👍

Absolutely brilliant, your work is a great inspiration for my own videos😊👍

Another outstanding restoration! You definitely posses the right ingredients for this stuff, patience & persistence. A few things, not criticisms, more quality of life suggestions. Get yourself a brass hammer for persuading things together. A small set of rifling files make life much easier for the intricate & limited access finishing jobs. Make yourself a speed handle for the vice. Once again, great job! :)

Nice Job!

Nice job. I did one of these a few months ago as well. Love the baby blue, it really pops! You may have done this and just not shown it but a bit of light oil on the sliding faces would be a good idea to help with the smoothness of operation, prevention of wear and prevention of future rusting. As for the body filler that a few people are ripping you for I don't really see an issue. Bridgeport milling machine castings are full of the stuff if you get a bad one. (sorry not seen your restoration on that yet.) Anyway good job, keep the videos coming you just got another subscriber. 👍👍👍

Beautiful work, man. That thing is swanky, now.
