Hey there.The metal of the handle bends before the vise is broken.In this model you cant remove the handle.(To remove it I had to cut it).I didnot want to change the handle.Onthis channel I restore tools for my main restoration channel.I want them to be usable.( not for just aesthetics).Maybe I should have tried to straighten it a little on the vise.❤️❤️
That was a fair restoration, I appreciate the effort. These old things need to be maintained and restored. They simply don’t make a lot of these things as good nowadays unless you spend big $$$$. And even then they aren’t all that good. Your skills and tools will improve so stay with it.
Thank you very much. I was also pleased with the result. Older productions are of better quality. Newer productions are a bit more disposable. That's why I'm glad I was able to save this piece.💕
Tip… use the correct tools. I.e. The screwdriver should’ve been very snug in the screw head and the full width of the slot. Anything that’s smaller will always try to rise out of the slot and cause damage to the head.
It was a good restoration. Its a tool and it just needed cleaned and put back into working order. It is a way better vise than most of the crap out there nowadays. Only thing i would suggest is grease or anti-seize on all the threads. It will make it easier for your grandson to restore again.
As always…. a great vice restoration! I have but one question: Why not throw it into the Evaporator Rust before dis-assembly and then again once fully disassembled? Great work though…nicely executed.
I hadn't thought of throwing it into the evaporator rust. Thank you very much for the advice. I will try it next time. I am glad to see you here. Thank you very much.🤩
a nice vice worth restoring, and not beeing negative here just wondering. Why you didnt just put all of it in a tub with diesel or something like that to get rid of all the muck, or why not blasted it from the start? it would have saved you alot of work and saved that toothbrush that to be fair isnt made for this kind of work. from my point of view you made it harder then it had to be to clean that vice and im just wondering why. and as someone who also paints both small and bigger objects with a airbrush i would recommend either a different sized needle and noozle for better coverage so you dont have to go back and forth with the gun as much. im guessing you are using a 0,3mm needle so i would try to find a 0,5mm needle and nozzle now i know ive sounded negative and thats not my intention, my intention is to give you "food for thought" so later on you make it easier on yourself. i think the vice came out nice with all that elbowgreace you put in.
Thanks for taking your time and writing this comment.The chemicals I use are much stronger than diesel.(the vise is too old.That is why the grease didnot come off easily.).I also have bigger paintbrushes.Bigger ones spray more paint.I wanted a very thin layer of paint. (To prevent the paint from chipping off when the vise is hit.).You guessed the needle size right :).I thinned the paint for 0.3 needle.(2K auto paint).Thanks for watching. ❤️❤️
LEAD TEST THE PAINT You put yourself at risk of lead poisoning, you risk contaminating the local environment. Lead test kits are cheap. Your health is priceless. Two thumbs down for that omission. Remember this... Some inexperienced person may view your videos as tutorials. You place other people at risk by not making sure they know that painted items need to be lead tested first. 👎👎
Thank you very much for the advice. Don't worry, I am doing the tests and taking precautions. But I promise to pay more attention. Thank you very much.❤️
