I love a welded vise. You can smack on them and they wont break. And they can be repaired indefinitely. No blacksmith ever used a cast leg- vise.

Thanks Ron!!! All the best to you too. My name is Gader, I don't have any particular reason, just like to have Black Beard as "brand" if you know what I mean :)

I completely understand you want all your hard work to speak for your brand and business not for the person,but also you could look at it like this without you behind the scenes and in front of the camera,doing what it is that you have been doing ,the brand may have never become what it has so far and much farther in the future,because without the maker,craftsman,or artist that Gader is there would be no black beard,all the best my friend,thanks for always getting back when i reach out with a question

TheDacchio la fza 120 mm acciaio come questa viene circa 500 eur nuova

I read the description with the italian accent.

Magari voi mi sapete rispondere, principalmente che differenza passa tra una morsa da 30 euro e una da 500 ?

Sono diversi i tipi di acciaio impiegati, la precisione nella forgiatura e le tolleranze nelle lavorazioni a macchina. Usandola quotidianamente quella da 30 euro ti dura una settimana, quella da 500 dura più di te. E comunque la differenza è abissale, un po' come una panda del '92 e una bugatti.. saranno entrambe macchine ma la differenza la si vede ad occhio.

Chissà cosa si chiede un'inglese quando legge commenti del genere!😂

+Namesi If you do much work in a shop/garage a good vise is an absolute must. It holds things securely so you can work on them, it can be used for compression tasks, it can bend metals you need bent etc. Like the one in this video you can often find old vises cheap in second hand shops, junk yards, etc. For vises in reasonably good condition, you do not have to do this thorough a restoration. Just take apart clean, and lubricate. That is typically all I do.

If you do not own a vice already, you do not belong to this channel.

И легче это делать на пожаре...

Thank you?

Seems like a right of passage to do a vice, if you do will you pick an obscure one? Like a Hindustani railway vice or a late period Eskimo penguin vice.

Hah, I'd been thinking the same thing! "Maybe it would stay still if he put it in a vice!"

Irony I guess

Ai Musakino you sneaky little punner

Microsoft Pro huehue

vice is steel, not cast iron. ACCIAIO means steel in italian!

Thank you!! :) Left in there only for 3-4hr. I'm always in a rush, next time I will try longer period if I can! Not sure about rods, just the cheapest :') Didn't preheat at all! Thanks again.

I was going to ask the same questions about rod selection and preheating. I would assume 7018 rod , especially if not preheating. I hear it's good to preheat parts to be painted also, to get a stronger bond, but not so hot like for welding.

Nice job ! Ive always been fascinated by old vices since i was a kid ? It was my fathers most treasured tool in our workshop and he used his as a press A lot when working on antique automobiles and numerous machinery He grew up with many machinists and metal working family members , we always had a heavy duty vise mounted to a steel workbench in good working order ! He was very meticulous about tuning it up and keeping it Painted it actually was my grandfathers originally ( his father) i also did like the way you cross hatched the jaws by hand also

The Tokyo Craftsman ,not that old... maybe 1967,69. And the horseshoe restrainer he cut is actually supposed to have bushings and a rubber boots in behind it sealed with an O-ring to old grease, and a complete washer in its entirety made from hardened steel,and not a horseshoe cut out of standard stock.there's supposed to be a splash pan usually brass, although sometimes made of stainless, which covers the mounting box underneath it's actually set up like the master cylinder on a car,and is supposed to be packed with grease..The pads that he half-heartedly Manufactured out of standard stock will more likely not disintegrate after the first real use,,undoubtedly the the no slip skid lines he cut into the metal will spread out and look like s***... He could have ordered a set of four cut from high carbon hardened stee, manufactured by the old Blue Point company onlinel,and they would have been a lot cheaper there only$ 22 a set,and they're actually Grooved really nicely fire Hardened furnace blasted,and cool quenched in oil after,so the grooves won't spread out after the first couple of uses, and again he could have gotten the retaining washer The Grommet,and the bushing set complete with o-ring from the same company,oh and even the screw if need be,and made from hardened steel.. I would like to at least give him props on the paint job but here again in my opinion he is lapsing he should have first tacked up all the dings scratches and low spots with his Mig,and then grinded them out coming as close to the original finish in the metal as possible... We then should have applied and enamel primer spray-on and not with a brush,and then you should have allowed it to dry out in the sun for about 5 hours at least.After this he should have scuffed it and then brushed on an acrylic clear or even a urethane, and then again allow this to dry out in the sun for about 5 hours. Afterwards he should have applied to the Hammer green allowed it to dry in the same manner, because in all honesty the hammered green paint by itself will start showing ware immediately,and especially considering he added no hardener to the paint that I seen anyway, and it's not like even if there's hardener in the paint It's an adequate amount,and especially for something like a vice,and considering the paint had no acrylic,and he only brushed on a thin coat at best,and yes he could have been a little more liberal with the paint my God he had a hole Court, but probably the most worrisome thinng that he did wrong,, as it pertains to the paint job was also painting the slides,as this is a big-time no n, and especially if you're not going to add hardener to the paint,or bake the Finish...Paint on a metal to metal surface,which is constantly in motion during the use of the equipment,and especially equipment like a vise which is under pressure can only mean one thing,, wear and tear and paint disintegrating,,which means the very first time the slide is used in a real setting means it will be stripped clean,and only start the other paint around that immediate area to start pilling,which means this Vice although it's pretty to look at now well somewhat anyway ,but it will probably look like s*** once the first grease stain hits it..However it's not like it's going to matter much anyway considering the screw will wear out in about a month or so after any real use, because considering is just mounted to his work bench without the brass Greece detainer it will fill with sawdust in no time,or in his shop metal shaving which is even considering the man mounted it to his work bench,and didn't even lay down a piece of old rubber mat or anyting in the way of a gasket,and I do mean nothing to keep s*** out of the screw, it's not like the the brass filler lid is on the damn thing,why did he mounted in the first place,,,but anyway what do you expect from a vice you pick up in the scrap yard,and bring home to make yourself famous on RU-vid with... I'm not trash his job I'm just keeping it real it was an average field at Best But to be honest with you quite a mature anybody can run a drill press and a lathe that's out of date by about 50 years,it will do what it was intended to do which was fill the space on RU-vid channel,but you people need to stop calling it the best thing since sliced bread s*** like expert awesome job fabulous wonderful my God you would think you all were talking about a brain surgeon or someone building a rocket somewhere the guy painted a vice that's it,,. The job wasn't great it was average,but other than ridiculously simple it was alright.

Si y queda mas original porque le daria la textura de fundición.

Si es mas fácil, el problema es los recursos que se disponen😁😀

Hunter Nadon - He was using a manual impact driver. Each time you hit the end with a hammer it turns the screw just a little, but with a lot of force. Although it was apparently not enough.

@@nathanjohansen7169 I've had similar difficulties with plain slotted screws where the slot is worn, and I'd have done the same thing to fix it. The Allen screw replacements will fare a lot better.

juan carlos Caballero tiene agujeros para atornillarla a la mesa uno atrás y dos al frente. Yo tengo una morsa como esa.

Existe para algunos modelos un sistema giratorio, pero este modelo no lo tiene

ты видел как он изготавливал губки? Этот парень не ищет легких путей, у него инструментов валом, думаю и пескоструй тоже есть.

I would say definitely, new vises (is it vises?) are expensive, I was shocked at the cost and I'm talking Harbor Freight type stuff. Found one on Craigslist, nice and rusty.
