Who knew that a vise could be beautiful? This one belongs in a museum!

Yeah, like the Smithsonian Museum or something. 😂

Awesome restoration. Very happy to see the welding of damage instead of bondo. I'm pretty sure Wilton did not have a stocking order for Bondo back then.... Good to see a total lack of short cuts!!

This came out better than factory finish !!

I have my father's Wilton bench vise. It's from the early 50s. Your restoration is awesome.

Can I send you my vise?

I'm not a big fan of black on certain items. But that looks pretty sharp! Never heard of that color.

Very nice work Dock... Ready for another decade or two.. I don't think I've ever seen anyone powder coat a vise before, came out beautiful... I especially like the wrinkle finish.. Take care my friend...

I know these channels are about what *can* be done and not necessarily about what *should* be done, but I would have wirebrushed the bare metal parts and given it some grease - done. Maybe smooth jaws. I’m happy about the successful screw extraction, that was good news.

I'm just glad none of the parts were buffed to a high bright finish like other channels do. The cast imperfections make this vise the only one exactly like it. I would have left them.

To be fair, black is a good, natural choice for the colour and deserves an extra point. Unfortunately we need to take 100 points away for tracing the letters 😭🙂

That came out better than new. And it's nice to see someone putting the right amount of grease in it.

That now is a work of art and even if it’s never used for it’s purpose it’ll look good on a shelf as an ornament Thanks for sharing Love and Peace from Ireland

beautiful restoration. And I appreciate the details like adding the missing letters!!!

That vise will never be used again! Not for a long time, anyway. What a beauty.

My Mechanics, Cool Again Restorations and this guy are all the same guy. I am sure of it!

Outstanding! I would use it to remember that part of the era where men worked hard for the things they had.

I might be a bit biased being a Chicago native but Bullet vices are just 🤌🤌 That subtle wrinkle paint turned out sooo clean. Never would've thought to do it like that myself!

I love how you filled in the couple of hammer blows with weld. I thought don't, because it adds character, but im glad you did. Now you can put your own mark on it! I'm glad you came up on my feed, and i had to subscribe.

Great video! The restoration of the vise is impressive and satisfying to watch. You did an excellent job of bringing the old and rusty vise back to life. The attention to detail and the careful approach you took during the restoration process is admirable. It's amazing to see how a little bit of cleaning, sanding, and painting can transform an old tool into a functional and beautiful piece again. Thank you for sharing this restoration project with us, it was both educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

Very nice restoration! You are close on the date but old Wiltons had a 5-year warranty and they would stamp the date on the key of when the warranty expired so that would mean yours was made in 1941.

looking at the seams and imperfections on the vice, quality control wasn't a priority. Great job in not only restoring, but improving on it when new!

Those seams and imperfections are a byproduct of the sand casting process. They in no way would have impacted the usefulness of the vise. What would have been of concern are voids that reduce the structural integrity of the parts. While the outcome of this refresh is visually pleasing nothing was done to actually restore the vise.
