    It is actually a jeweler's hand vise. The purpose of the hole in the tension bolt is to allow wire to be passed through it. If you notice during the cleaning process, the base, inside curve has a hole that extends all the way through the long bolt that goes into the handle. The hole that had the hanging screw on the other end of the handle was there for that purpose, not to hang the tool.

  • @duncanmcharg
    @duncanmcharg 5 років тому +343

    G'day MM, I enjoy your restorations and the level of finish you bring things to :) I thought you would like to know that the hole in the bolt does have a function. It lines up with the hole in the bottom of the clamp, where it screws into the handle, and normally the hole would go all the way down through the length of handle so that you can feed long pieces of wire into it, just having the end you want to work on sticking out past the jaws.
    This was for filing tapered pins to hold old style clocks and watches together, and it meant that you didn't have to cut the wire into short lengths, file them, and then cut it to the right size and waste wire, you could just feed a long piece of wire up through the handle, file the pin, cut it off, feed the wire through a bit more, make the next pin etc.
    The hole in the vice bolt is also handy with shaping shorter things, like a long screw, as having the end of the piece in the hole in the vice bolt means that as you file or grind the item it can't wiggle side to side, and means the jaws don't have to be tightened up so much.
    Hope you found this interesting, and keep up the good work.
    Cheers
    Duncan

    You know, I've watched quite a few of your videos and I believe this is my first time commenting. Firstly, i just wanted to say thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with us. Secondly (and most importantly to me) i really enjoy the idea of turning things people have thought useless and dead into lively useful objects again. With a little love, persistence and ingenuity you show us that just because something is broken, doesn't mean it's garbage. I'd like to think this applies to people as well. That's my take away anyways. Thanks again.

    I am 100% addicted to these videos- what a master! You do this in a way that we all wish we could. The only suggestions I would have to offer are around some of the woodworking choices you make. Try plasticizing with wood restoring fluid or filling wooden pieces with epoxy/fine sawdust and re-machining. If you need to replace the wood, perhaps try to find antique wood or old-growth wood so that the grain pattern is closer to an antique. And finally, the choice of stain you usually use is a matter of preference of course but it seems to have too much black in it, which drowns out the grain, and try tung oil for final coat! Anyway-keep going- You are awesome!

      Yes and no, of like 7 parts there he only made 3 new... Actually this is like half the parts... I can totally see your point.
