    Nice job man. Enjoyed the video. Relaxing to watch. Last week I refurbished an old Wilton Bullet Vice that a customer gave me. It was her brothers who passed away at the young age of 49. I think he died like 30 years ago. But evidently he was a real craftsman who could do just about anything she’d said. I asked her for a picture of him so I could see and remember him
    When I used it. I sent her a few pics when I was done with the vise and she couldn’t believe it was the same vise. She said Dennis would’ve loved it.
    Made my day.
    Thanks again for sharing your work. Very nice job.

    I don’t know how you found such a nice core. That thing was mint compared to most old craftsman’s of that era.

    It's great to see someone biting the bullet on painting a vice white! I was thinking of doing so... not I know I won't but it's still great to have a white vice! What a great restoration!

    You are correct. The base for this series was optional and sold separately with only one lock nut. Made until about 1971.
    What is the diameter of the round base?

    Wow, wonderful job. I have to say, a white vice seems like it will be dirty the minute you bolt it to the workbench let alone use it. However your execution and explanation coupled with the music makes this one of the best vice restos I’ve seen on here. New subscriber 👍

      I really appreciate the kind words! I had missed a couple of spots with JB Weld, and after the white paint, those missed areas really show. I've been wanting to do white for a while, but doubt I'll ever do it again. Thank you for watching and commenting!

    I was going to paint my vise white as well, to go with my white tool chest. But, after seeing this, I will choose a different color. Can you tell me why you didn't file, sand or machine the jaws so that they looked better? Were you afraid you wouldn't get them perfectly flat?

    • @garageshopminnesota
      @garageshopminnesota  21 день тому

      If I recall correctly, I felt at the time it was just best to leave well enough alone. I didn't want to cause additional issues by trying to file them.

    Is there a reason you choose to use the paint and primer in one? I find when restoring old tools, using a dedicated primer and a dedicated paint helps a lot with rust prevention, at least that’s what I’ve been told. Is the paint and primer in one just as good?

    I liked everything except the body filler. I would hate to buy a vise and find out it has body filler. But that's just me and I don't think most would mind. I would recommend oil on the slide because the grease just gets my hands dirty and collects all the dirt in the shop. I just use oil now for that reason. Thanks for sharing.

      @shopdoc 2 роки тому

      I keep regular engine oil in my oil cans and use it. Nothing fancy, I put it on then wipe off the excess. I do the same with my cast iron table tops on my bandsaw and table saw.

    You probably already knew that Columbian made those vises for Sears. I was curious why you removed the jaws? I thought perhaps you werr going to re-machine serrations into those jaw faces since you went to the work of removing them. I knew you were not going to replace the jaws because that type became unavailable a few years back.
    Like others, I liked everything about you video except the choice of color. I generally opt for gray or red, but thats just me.

    Was with you until the JB Weld and the red grease everywhere, including places that didn't need it. Especially with white paint, why use red grease everywhere? I think the color is nice but those are my thoughts.

    Interesting colour choice, looks cool, at least at first glance. But let’s be honest, that’s another vice that wasn’t in need of “restoration”: some wire brushing and a lick of grease was all it needed. And painting cast iron silver? Straight up blasphemy.

    • @garageshopminnesota
      @garageshopminnesota  Рік тому +2

    White? Interesting. Everything that blows, floats, swings, crawls, spews, pours, topples, scrapes, scratches, and smokes in the shop, or on the work bench, will leave a stain, mark, and divot. Why not Craftsman Red?

    • @garageshopminnesota
