Vintage Columbia Wood Vise [Restoration]

This old tool restoration is a Columbia 10 inch wood vise. I've wanted this style of wood vise for a while because it give me the ability to clamp larger pieces of wood on the bench. In this video I disassemble, clean, polish, paint, reassemble, and install the vise on my bench. Vise History. In 1921, the Columbian hardware company changed their name to Columbian Vise & Manufacturing Co. about 1927. Columbian was acquired by Warren Tool Corp. in 1965 Warren was sold to Wilton Corp.

Once again an excellent job .

Excellent work as always. Enjoy watching you work. Thank you. :)

[@vintagemachineworks]

Many thanks!

Great looking vice, and really useful. Not seen that sort of handle before. I wonder if it might have been better not to paint the dog, but to polish it like you did the handle? Love the colour - it always seems just right for a vice. Thanks for posting this - really enjoyed it.

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks for watching, and you are right about the dog. If you look close in the last clip the paint has been stripped off the dog so it works better.

[@jt9498]

Good stuff, man. I like the way you work. You get the job done! Thanks for doin' what you do.

[@vintagemachineworks]

I enjoyed this refurbishment. Blue is my favorite color, but a blue Columbian vise? lol.

[@vintagemachineworks]

LOL.. yes It should have been gray but I wanted it to match the other vise on my bench. I do have a Record I will do sometime soon.Thanks for watching.

[@puffyd58]

Excellent video. I picked up a vintage Columbia vice almost exactly like yours. Still trying to decide how much to do to it before I mount it on the bench. I love the look of it as is, and the handle and screw work fine. But you've given me some things to think about. Thanks.

[@vintagemachineworks]

These are great vises. Thanks for watching

[@MichaelPierceall]

Great vice. I owned one - a different model, 3 CD, but with a speed handle like yours. No need for a quick release mechanism.

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks for watching

[@danieltaylor7944]

Really nice job all the way around. Excellent camera work, too!
(Now if you would do a vid on rehanging the weights on a cuckoo clock, I would be happy.... )

[@vintagemachineworks]

I have never worked on a Cuckoo Cuckoo clock, but i did have to hang the weights on a grandfather clock once, but sorry didn't video it...LOL... Thanks for watching.

[@danieltaylor7944]

@@vintagemachineworks I just picked up an old Columbian vice (model 6CD) to resell and have included a link to your video in my description. Hopefully, you'll get some views from it. Daniel

@@danieltaylor7944 Thank you

[@catblue6393]

Very nice! Sometimes I wish you had better lighting at your work bench so we could see objects a bit better. Maybe a simple emergency light. Also, I like your unpretentious videos. 👍🏻

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks for watching... I am working on getting better camera equipment

[@tylerpreston6695]

I have this exact vise currently any idea how to find the date it was made?

[@vintagemachineworks]

Not sure there is a way to date exactly but it is pre 1965.. Thanks for watching
