Hi everyone! Please let us know what you think about this video and don't forget to check out our social media :) Instagram - bit.ly/2MgQ6KY Facebook - bit.ly/2TuDNLX
Right at this moment I'm using a voice exactly like this. It's been my main vice for the past 5 or 6 years. I mostly use it to sharpen lawn mower blades but right now I've got it holding a bar so I can cut a wedge off of it. The only difference between 2, my vice has the front left corner of the top slide jaw casting where the adjustment screws are to tighten up the gib. 1 of my brothers was trying to clamp down on something that was to big. He had the jaws spread past its limits & broke it. One of these days I want to have it repaired.
As usual another great video and restoration ! i happened to grow up working with my Dad restoring and fixing all our Automobiles ourselves the center of my Dads garage was always a Steel workbench with a Antique Vise on it and he taught me how to do just about everything from sharpening Woodworking tools to pressing in and out stubborn items utilizing the freeze and heat methods the Old Man had a passion for old Volvo’s and British cars before the invent of the internet and being easy to get specialty tools and such so easy we often had to improvise or fabricate those tools for our “weird “ cars but my Dad had the determination and the drive to do it himself so we used some factory tool sets and a combination of our metric and Imperial tool sets the old British cars and Motorcycles used their Whitworth system for nuts and bolts in the early 1950s many of the cars and bikes came with a canvas roll up with a variety of Spanners and a few other tools we could find some of those at swap meets and flea Markets but it was cost prohibitive to buy a full set of Whitworth in the United States and Volvo’s were always a little ahead of the times with 4 wheel disc brakes and Mcpherson Struts so the common Coil Spring Compressors that most auto part stores had didn’t work for what we worked on i saw my Dad compress similar coils in our vise one time and he tied them compressed with a high strength wire to install them into a foreign car we had boy could he improvise ! i guess i kind of carried the tradition into my Woodworking and working on boats and marine engines
Good job. Just a tip, when fixing a crack, drill a hole past the point where it ends. That will stop it from cracking again. Also, even though some rods alloe you to weld with no preheat, its always preferred.
Hi there. The vise is FPU, Bison- Bial company. They were a Polish company and sold some vises in the US. I have one of these as well and love it. The rear sliding g dovetail is so cool. Nice job
Great restoration, it’s always amazing when you dismantle rusty nuts and bolts that the threads are so shiny and no pitting in the parts after a wire wheel cleanup 👍
I watch these vid's and I get so mad at these so called restorers. They don't have the time or intelligence to do the restoration correctly. though this wasn't one of the pricy vices when it was new but this restoration was done correctly. You took the time to find the cracks and problems, you took the time to clean it before you painted it and it looks great I would give a 150% for all of the work done. It was a pleasure watching. THANK'S
Lovely work! Had a beer watching the restoration :) Please take care with that wire brush disk and no gloves, scary stuff! Love the attention to detail on the masking side and the new gorgeous plates, making sure the anvil surface is nice and flat (thank you for not polishing it shiny!!!!! that just drives me nuts!) Love the finger oiling haha, so natural! Thank's for sharing, enjoyed watching!
I really love how you painted this vice! its better than any most restoration channels on youtube, who in my opinion put to much laquer and thick coats on. obviously this isn't a perfect restoration, because you didn't fill all the holes and dings but, thats no problem.
Well putting the angle grinder on its side like and using it as a bench grinder. That’s a good idea, learned something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas with this video.
Since I got huge selection of grinders (10) that give me all kind of ideas. I have 3 of the dewalt 9” monster angle grinders I was going to build 2”x72” belt grinder with but now I can use one of them and 7” to make bench grinders out of. New ideas and inspiration so much fun to have. Also awesome job on the vice
The make is "Fabryka Przyrządów i Uchwytów" today known as Bison Bial from Poland. I've recently done a restoration of a bigger, 120mm model. Really good vices.
I have a vise identical yours. I picked it up at about 45 years ago. If i remenber it had a label saying made in Poland. Wasn't very expensive. Mine is still in very good shape mounted to a bench. Seen a lot of hard use.
Nice work. I have the same exact vice at my garage. Must been in use for decades at my uncles workshop here in Finland. I salvaged it for my self, after my uncle died years a go. Mine has lost a few parts on it way..
I have worked on aircraft. for the last 40 or so years.. I've done quite a bit of home style machining.. and also done a bunch of firearms work... I think that the aggressive jaws that you seek as "original equipment" is not always desired.. I think you would do yourself.. and the customers of your finished overhauls, a favor.. to just leave the jaws in their worn and dull platform.. I myself.. make jaws from 6160 aluminum block.. and have good results.. you are a good mechanic.. excellent work.
Excellent advice, especially about the professional survey. A professional survey can also assess boat value, which can be used for insurance purposes (plus haggling). Greg
Couple of safety tips: 1. Depending on the age of that vise, the paint you scraped and blasted may have had lead in it, in which case you would have released that dust into your air. Better to either test for the presence of it or simply use a chemical stripper. 2. Never, ever wear gloves that close to the business-end of a tool, in this case your grinder. One misstep and the glove gets caught, sucking your hand into the tool. If heat is a problem for small parts like that, either bring the tool to the work which is held steady in a vise, or being the work to the tool with a pair of pliers or other such holder.
наконец-то!!! Хоть кто-то использует обычные нормальные отвёртки. Кстати, используй для снятия ржавчины раствор лимонной кислоты в воде. 50 гр на литр.
Are you happy that we're showing you this now? You never miss much with this educational video. You never want to catch things like this too late. Never fear, I'm telling myself all this. It all depends on what I want to specialize in. 😔
Great job! Nice camera placement specially on the sand blaster :-). You obviously are more considerate than most in trying to make your viewers get the better view of the job being done. Many think the over-the-shoulder view showing lots of hairy arms blocking the work is the way to go (it's not) lol. Sub'd and watching previous vids.
i know this vise, it was manufactured in Poland, Fabryka przyrządów i uchwytów(Instrument and handle factory ) in Białystok, also it is known BISON-BIAL , it's very good quality these days, Also good job on restoration ;)
Excellent job! Love the fact that you didn't grind out all the imperfections and use body filler to make it "perfect". This is an old vice, it needed to keep its battle scars.
Great job on the restoration. One suggestion. You used oil in the spin slide parts. Then you used grease for the screw. You may want to use grease for the spin/ slide as well. It wears better, and the spin/slide action will be smoother. Just a suggestion.
Some of these people must end up with a vise collection.. I mean, how many bench vises can one person use?? Only 3 mounting ears and only 1 swivel lock. Nice job on the clean up before refinishing! What does the yellow rotating light tell you? Wow, you're going to overheat that tool feeding it at that speed!
The splines of all screws remained damaged. In some places there are notches and traces of damage that could be smoothed out. File, putty, primer, emery cloth ... But this is nitpicking. Well done job.
A first rate refurbishment,every detail finished with importance in mind,finished article like factory finish,also a good vidio and we'll made,well worth a 5☆ rating
Interesting my nickel loaded rods leave yellow finish but your rods (must be the same as you did not preheat) leave silver one. Nice to see others are welding vises as well!
I am 54 years old and STILL would almost give my left eye to just OWN a vice!! Funny I never seem to find them at auctions, yard sales or even in the scrap yards around here!! And even used crap ones on Craig's List are usually too expensive to buy because people in my area want "top dollar" for JUNK when you literally could go to Lowe's, Home Depot or even Harbor Freight and buy one new you don't have to restore and repair in order to use it!! In one Craig's List ad the guy was selling "used tools" but he was asking "brand new prices" for items that FIRST did not work, secondly was missing parts and thirdly was so beat up that for the same money you didn't have to "fix" the new tools from Home Depot or Harbor Freight as I said!! Sure his 40 year old Table saw (for example) was "nice" if you could have gotten the parts to fix it, but for the $300 asking price he wanted I ended up buying a brand new Ryobi Contractors saw to do what I needed it to do, for just $174, BUT this is what I run into all the time in my area of New York State!!!! In another case I bought a miter saw off this guy for $80 and it wasn't until I got it home I realized that the blade was completely destroyed on it, and it required a special wrench to remove it, that I never got with the tool!! When I tried to order a new wrench for it, NOBODY sold one, so I ended up scrapping the saw I paid $80 for then went out a week later and bought another brand new Ryobi miter saw to replace it!! In the end I paid $150 for the new saw and it came either everything I needed and was easy to set up and use, and I have been happy as anything with it for the past five years!! So word to the wise, sure Craig's List can "save you money" but it is seriously "buyer beware" when it comes to buying things on there!! And I will never buy any more used junk tools that need more work than what they are worth ever again.....cheaper to just start out with a new unit and love it as you own it!!
I have 6 inch like this vise. Bought used in 1973. Still in use. My vise does not have any markings. I broke back jaw off and welded back on 45 years ago.

What’s the oil and bottle you’re using? Looks handy!
New subscriber thanks for the upload man.
Thank you Very enjoyable video,
The vice was restored beautifully,
Excellent spray job 👍

Craig Monteforte Make an UA-cam channel worth watching. You have so much to tell, imagine what you could show!
Good job.

Also, even though some rods alloe you to weld with no preheat, its always preferred.
Thank you, you wrote it instead of me.
Do you leave the hole or weld it up too?
@@daspicsman weld it up to
The best vice restore on the tube! No body fillers or JB weld or over polishing of parts. Great job of a real working tool.
the best restorer is my mechanic
Beautiful job! I'm so glad you didn't find it necessary to fill every imperfection with body filler. It looks great with a few dents!! :)
Nicely done
Looks great, works great and no fancy schmancy useless mirror finishes. A true restoration
Hi there. The vise is FPU, Bison- Bial company. They were a Polish company and sold some vises in the US. I have one of these as well and love it. The rear sliding g dovetail is so cool. Nice job
Adjustable ways!
Fowler. Yes I love mine !
A most enjoyable watch. Love the restoration and your work-bench.

Fantastic job. That vise looks brand spanking new. Definitely a vise I would be proud to have on my workbench. Well Done.

Very nice restoration of a practical little vise. Nice work squaring up the jaws and slides. Beautiful paint job!
I have that exact vice. Came from dear old Grandad. Your video inspired me to do the same restoring to mine. I loved that color of blue.
Sometimes the impossible is possible. This video proved that! Great restoration. Praise Jesus
Never seen a vice like this one. Very nice restoration!
I really love how you painted this vice! its better than any most restoration channels on youtube, who in my opinion put to much laquer and thick coats on. obviously this isn't a perfect restoration, because you didn't fill all the holes and dings but, thats no problem.
That’s a really cool looking vice, bet it holds nice and solid with a nut that long. Great restoration 👍
A triangular file or hack saw can do wonders for those jaws. I didn’t like that color at first but it grew on me real quick, good choice.
Great work mate. That turned out fantastic. You’ve earned yourself another subscriber. 🇦🇺👍
A very unique design. I like the way the screw is shielded from fallout and I like the adjustable way on the dynamic jaw slider. Nice color.
Old Polish vice of Fabryka Urządzeń i Uchwytów, Bison-Bial.
Haven't seen that vice before either, however the blue you chose looks lovely on it, came out fantastic!
It's just a FPU vise from Poland.
Well putting the angle grinder on its side like and using it as a bench grinder. That’s a good idea, learned something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ideas with this video.
Since I got huge selection of grinders (10) that give me all kind of ideas. I have 3 of the dewalt 9” monster angle grinders I was going to build 2”x72” belt grinder with but now I can use one of them and 7” to make bench grinders out of. New ideas and inspiration so much fun to have. Also awesome job on the vice
I have 2 large vices. One is a swivel type. I LIKE that one more. I have used my shower stall as a paint booth,just a little water,first. Good job!

Hi - this brings me back to pops garage - definitely deserving of restoration. Well done and I subscribed!
Parabens, Campeão !! Bela Morsa, antiga e muito bonita !!!
Cool looking vise and great color choice. Excellent job

Olaf Thank you so much for your reply!
@C17H25N The make excellent tooling for lathes, I have purchased many tool posts, and holders over the last two years.
@@bostedtap8399 p89
The blue color is perfect! Nicely done.
*Nice Craftsmanship my friend. thanks for sharing!* 🗜️
Bravo, Well done, It's a pleasure to watch this work! respect from the old BG.
Excellent work friend. I like the super aggressive jaws you put on it.
I have a vise identical yours. I picked it up at about 45 years ago. If i remenber it had a label saying made in Poland. Wasn't very expensive. Mine is still in very good shape mounted to a bench. Seen a lot of hard use.
Fine job, and that blue paint really stands out good choice of color.
Good job, well done. No plastic body filler used and no extra polishing on a work tool.
Nice work. I have the same exact vice at my garage. Must been in use for decades at my uncles workshop here in Finland. I salvaged it for my self, after my uncle died years a go. Mine has lost a few parts on it way..
Very nicely done and a great colour for the vise, it should give you many years of good service.
Very nicely done.... grats on returning a piece of mechanical history to running order!

Amazing work and a beautiful vise, great work fella 👍
Nice restoration of an Awesome bench vise. I have the exact vise it is stamped “Made in Poland” on end of screw.
I like your style kid... great resto. Keep up the good work.

Acabei de me inscrever e amei sua restauração, digna de grandes restauradores, PERFECT!
That was a nice restoration! Great attention to detail!
That dual dove tail design is brilliant!
Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration.
Well I thought I would never say this about a vise, being a woman, but it is... quite beautiful. Nice job!
Your video is very interesting. I hope to see more Restoration videos from you.
i know this vise, it was manufactured in Poland, Fabryka przyrządów i uchwytów(Instrument and handle factory

Well done , I like the blue color it looks like a very nice vise you don't see many that use gibs , very cool. thanks
Parts into the blasting box... I'm high frequency deaf now 🤯🤯🤯
and my dog jumped into the grave... Wow!
I wish the screws in my vice came out that easy, One had the head shear off and the other is so rusted that it has distroyed 3 impact driver bits.
I have the same problem and I am going to drill it and make new threads for larger screws.
If that happens try heating up the bolt to help break the rust, and then try extracting it with a left hand drill bit.
If the top of a screw is destroyed, you can cut a groove in it and then use a regular flat head screw driver and WD 40 to loosen it and unscrew it.
Super, j'ai le même en mauve, je vais pouvoir le refaire aussi 👍
Turned out to be a good looking vice I like how u keep the small dents I do the same.
Good analogy. I have done 2 so far.Good tool for fixing things.
cant get enough of vices !! great job !
Great job amazing restoration, loved it!
That was a nice job, nice to see someone use oil on bare metal. Keep up the good work.
Love the Hammersmith Blue paint, its the colour I am using for tool restoration
Unusual vice that opens away from you.
A Gressel is like that! ua-cam.com/video/U2jNeObHnZY/v-deo.html
Its good when you painting ,cover threads vith a screw 😉✌️🇨🇿 nice job 👍
Superb restoration and video quality!
Very beautiful work and tool also very nice for working
Great job👍 Thanks for sharing.
Great job. If you kept the old jaws you can file down the rest of the checkering and use them as a set of smooth jaws.
I love that vice. Beautiful.
Nice restoration job on the Polish FPU (FABRYKA PRZYRZADOW UCHWYTOW) Bison-Biel swivel vise. I think they originally came out in the 1950's.
Great restoration 👍
The splines of all screws remained damaged.
In some places there are notches and traces of damage that could be smoothed out. File, putty, primer, emery cloth ...
But this is nitpicking. Well done job.
Muito bacana amigo
very nice friend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A first rate refurbishment,every detail finished with importance in mind,finished article like factory finish,also a good vidio and we'll made,well worth a 5☆ rating
Nice work. Nice color. Love it.
Old Polish vice
Greate job man 👌
Fantastic work!
This is so good. Am i the only one that has a weird thing for old vices? Theyre like cocaine but less illegal
Very unique rear opening vise good job.
Dam fine job.. handle was perfect 👌
Very nice work, nice vise.
You guys do great, let's create together, see you next time
Nice work. You can make a small painting booth out of carton (about one cubic meter) with a suction on top. It would make your life much easier.
Interesting my nickel loaded rods leave yellow finish but your rods (must be the same as you did not preheat) leave silver one. Nice to see others are welding vises as well!
I am 54 years old and STILL would almost give my left eye to just OWN a vice!! Funny I never seem to find them at auctions, yard sales or even in the scrap yards around here!! And even used crap ones on Craig's List are usually too expensive to buy because people in my area want "top dollar" for JUNK when you literally could go to Lowe's, Home Depot or even Harbor Freight and buy one new you don't have to restore and repair in order to use it!! In one Craig's List ad the guy was selling "used tools" but he was asking "brand new prices" for items that FIRST did not work, secondly was missing parts and thirdly was so beat up that for the same money you didn't have to "fix" the new tools from Home Depot or Harbor Freight as I said!! Sure his 40 year old Table saw (for example) was "nice" if you could have gotten the parts to fix it, but for the $300 asking price he wanted I ended up buying a brand new Ryobi Contractors saw to do what I needed it to do, for just $174, BUT this is what I run into all the time in my area of New York State!!!! In another case I bought a miter saw off this guy for $80 and it wasn't until I got it home I realized that the blade was completely destroyed on it, and it required a special wrench to remove it, that I never got with the tool!! When I tried to order a new wrench for it, NOBODY sold one, so I ended up scrapping the saw I paid $80 for then went out a week later and bought another brand new Ryobi miter saw to replace it!!

And I will never buy any more used junk tools that need more work than what they are worth ever again.....cheaper to just start out with a new unit and love it as you own it!!
There are good new vises out there that won't cost your left eye! ...maybe a toe, but not an eye! 😉
Very nice. Great color
I have 6 inch like this vise. Bought used in 1973. Still in use. My vise does not have any markings. I broke back jaw off and welded back on 45 years ago.
Great restoration. I bet you can't buy any vice today that's half as good as these old vices
I like that tension adjustable gib on the dovetail track.
Wonderful work! Well done!
