Thanks for checking out my video. I bought this vise with 4 others for around $30. I think it was worth it. Let me know what you think! Have a great day! If you haven’t seen this Snap-on Jack restoration vid, check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q1CgM-kWm2w.htmlsi=w_zvDs2veh01Cuax Blessings! 👍
wow you are silly :D Love the different sounds when sandblasting. Came back here from the Traveloader, and I am greatful to see someone restoring real stuff and not things that were deliberately messed up and rusted and such. Great work, beautiful video, thanks for sharing, Kev!
Finally, a guy who understands primer before paint always. I tend to apply two coats of primer before I paint but that's me. One grey and one red, I alternate which one goes on first depending on the color I use.. Good job!
The before and after couldn't be more different! Absolutely superb job! I'm glad you saved that from being just another scrapped piece of metal. It's beautiful now!! Thanks for posting this.
Beautifully done. That must be pretty rewarding to have that in your workshop, knowing where the vice came from and the condition it is now in. Very cool. See you on your next project, sir.
The parts are heated to bring the temperature of the part up before hitting it with welding. Welding produces a lot of heat and we want to prevent cracking due to a sudden change in temp. Same for the cooling process, a slow cool down to help prevent the casting from cracking.
Wow! Superb job I must say! You could make a living restoring this stuff! Harbor Freight may appeal to some if you need a tool in a quick pinch, but they just don’t make ‘em like these old “Made in the USA” beast! Great job! By the way… that Snap On floor jack you restored is super nice!!
Looking at the color after hot bluing and it doesn’t look as dark as I normally see after doing this. I’m not familiar enough but could this be a sign that it wasn’t hot enough before placing it in the oil?
Top Marks, as always..! When your sand blasting revealed the set screw, I was like D'uh...super X-Ray spectacles for rust have made removing the brass bushing much easier🤣 lesson learned for all of us...thanks for that. But, I have question: would it be smart, or even possible for that matter, to harden and temper after your welding repairs and after returning the handle to normal..? Would that make the vice/handle too brittle, or is it even worth the effort..? If possible, please let me know, or if anyone else has advice/comments on that idea, please let me know as well...thanks.
I’ve watched our European friends use a mixture of automatic transmission fluid and acetone to break bolts and screws loose. Have you had any experience with this? I myself, have just begun restoring things for fun and nostalgia.
Fine restoration! At 9:52, where did you get a mill type chuck like that and who makes it? I also saw you using it on a hand held drill. That is the coolest thing since sliced bread and I must have one!!🖖Never mind where to get one, I went up to your description and found it! I will have one in a few days! I have never seen such an animal,,,,,ever!
I use a Sony A6000 for most of the filming. Some of the close up shots are filmed on a Canon hf g30. Then Canon camera is the only one with an external mic and it is a Rode Video Mic Pro. You can find some info in my description as well. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
Nice job. What is that attachement you used for the brass and the screw polishing you did? On the drill press and on the hand drill. I need one of those... Thanks!
I normally love your videos, but to be honest I think this one seemed a bit rushed, you are usually one of the very few who seem to avoid using power tools, but in this one half of the work was done with power tools. Restoration is a delicate job and should only use power tools if it's absolutely necessary, your sandblasting was uneven and spotty in certain places. Slow Down and take your time, I would rather watch an hour long restoration video without power tools than a 20 minute video with them. Take some cues from Odd Tinkering he takes his time and gets a amazing result and I think with a little patience you can be as good if not better
