We found this blacksmithing leg vise in an estate auction a few days ago. This vise is an Indian Chief 50lb model made by Columbus Forge and Iron Company. I expected to have to make repairs and do a restoration but I was pleasantly surprised to see it only needed to be cleaned up! I wire wheeled all the rust away, cleaned it up and applied some linseed oil and it looks fantastic. Now all it needs is a stand! - Навчання та стиль

I love to clean and restore Blacksmith tool. Ive reworked blowers. Build stands for blowers. Make tools. Im working on a forge now. Im using an old welding table for that. I need a top cut to finish it. Its a joy to do it. I dont know if ill ever get to work on my anvil or not.. but building and designing this has been a joy!!!
Thank you your video help me rebuild my leg vice.
Nice job, glad it was only a cleanup! Still satisfying to watch.
Thanks!
This is the kind of maintenance a true craftsman does for his/her tools, the kind that usually doesn't get done. Nice work.
Nice tear down and clean up. Beautiful restoration.
Thanks a lot!
Great restoration of the old vise making it ready to return to service.
Just picked up a 60# Indian Chief in California that needs cleanup. I can see the bones are great. This vid was perfect for tear down, clean up and protection
Nice clean up. That vice embodies the pure essence of a useful tool. I hope to find one soon.
I've found two in the last couple years so there out there. Thanks for watching!
I watched your boys make the anvil and were shocked when I saw how young they were. You've taught them well sir. Not many youngins will want to learn how to do work like that.
I have a leg vise like yours, only mine is just a bit smaller. I took mine apart last year and cleaned it as you did. My dad bought it at an estate sale with a bunch of hammers and an anvil also a lot of tongs and so forth.
They are both handy in the shop, I am very proud! Auction hopping is addictive, you can get some really neat stuff that way. Thanks for watching!
I have a post code made by iron City. Remember we were at war when these were made so costs were cut.
Beautiful
Thanks!
The lack of a fine finish was typical of utilitarian objects even up into the 1960's. Someone recently brought out a new, 1960's pickup(as in bought, driven home, used once or twice and parked in the garage), and one thing everyone noted was the lack of attention to finish quality. There was a lot of overspray everywhere, and things were functional, but not much more, coming out of the factory. A fine finish doesn't pay for the buyer of manufacturer, so long as the item does the job, and does it well.
Очень хорошая работа проделана, уважение таким людям как Вы. А вот у нас в России такого инструмента не найдёшь, я себе хочу такие найти, но всё четно. А у Вас видимо инструмент есть. Приятно смотреть когда человек душу вкладывает в инструмент когда его восстанавливает. Удачи Вам.
Have the same vice I restored. Had no idea the make. Mine had a “3” instead of the “2” yours had on the mounting plate. All other identification markings had been obliterated.
Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
😁😁😁😁
I have a similar post vise, maybe a bit bigger, no name or logo to be found. I inherited mine from my dad who was a farmer -- I remember playing in his workshop as a kid, and that vise was a central feature. No idea where/when he got it, but I'm 70 years old and would bet the vise is quite a bit older, maybe over 100. I use it regularly and love the massive feel and power.
Cool!
Please let me know if there is a way to tell the age, as I just got one myself.
refurbishing that I don't know
Other than a little cleaning and lubrication
What I mean to say is !
That vice was built right !
A long time ago !
How and what can you do about that :)
Your right, I expected it to need some help but it's really in good condition for its age. Thanks for watching 😊
Next car swap meet comes up im picking one of these up.
