Wow indeed! I grew up 3 miles from there in the city of Downey. Just knowing that something manufactured in the city of South Gate is now all the way in the UK is awesome.
I had one of those years ago, incredibly useful tool. South Gate at one time had many aerospace and other large manufacturing factories in Los Angeles County. Great restoration!! That hammered green paint is awesome.
Good to know! I think I'll get a lot of use out of this one in the years to come. I love that it was made in California, very cool. Thanks a lot, KH! I also absolutely love the hammered paint, it looks so nice.
Thanks Steev! If I didn't have pro gloves, this pressure cabinet would literally blast a hole in my hand/finger, its crazy compared to my old one... Very fast though :D
😄 Its called "sand blasting", I will support you because you are english, I really like the uk, good people in majority, specially north people, not all of them ofcourse, dispite the sedition taking place now across the whole country, well done and keep up the good work 👍🏻
@RestoreIt Any time mate, it's called "sand blasting" in general, regardless of the media you are using, you do have a good one indeed, BTW where is your work shop in the UK?!! keep on 👍🏻
@@RestoreIt The quality has to be great to carry 355 pounds. And usually when they add a little bit of technology into something, suddenly the price goes quadruple, but these guys are not ripping people off.
What are the chances?! PaskMakes just uploaded a vid where he recreated one of these because he couldn't find one to buy used. (Brilliant watch btw, would highly recommend checking him out). I never knew this type of vice existed, and now I've seen 2 vids on it in a week
I bought one of these as a young boy around 1977, and still use it today one a weekly basis … Mine hase the vacuum base though. You did a beautiful job on this bit of kit, but I don’t like the color. These tools are supposed to be grey. 💁🏻♂️
Oh wow! They really do last a lifetime! I was going to go grey, but this one was green and I've seen quite a few of the first ones in this colour. Maybe it was a UK only thing, I'm not sure.
The finished restoration looks very nice and deserves praise. However some of the engineering practices you use leave a lot to desire. Using any rotating power tool must be done with safety in mind. Standing so close with a loose rag in you hand to a spinning buffer, wire wheel, or bench grinder is asking for an accident to happen. Grease the threads on the rod not into the captive nut to avoid hydraulicing. Always prime and undercoat before using top coat when painting. Hope these few pieces of advice help.
It's not called Shot Blasting, it's called Sand Blasting because the material originally used was sand and over the years they have developed other materials (media) that can be used for harder or softer surfaces and for different techniques
Stream of consciousness comment: NEVER stand close to a rotating buffer, (or a rotating anything-else for that matter) with a rag in your hands. Things can go VERY badly in just an instant! OK, back to watching....
I stumbled into _THAT_ lathe video, no warning, no caption, no title, nothing, on a random meme site a couple years ago. What a horror. That building will never be clean.
Those telescopic tables are the most idiotic things as a computer table I can think. Work standing? Come on... seriously? What's next? Squating tables?

Wow! That vise was manufactured in a neighboring town of mine called South Gate, here in the great state of California. That is so awesome.
I knew it was the USA and I knew it was in Cali, but I didn't know that! Cheers, Joker!

Never knew there was such a thing as a PanaVise. Very impressive restoration. Well done!
Neither did I until I came across one. I knew i had to have one, super handy! Oh, and thank you!
mostly because they were made of cast zinc and tended to break
I love your small restorations sir, well done i must say. 🔥👍🔥
Thank you, Lion! Much appreciated.
@@RestoreIt My favorite is that YALE LIFT TRUCK. That restoration is a "how-to" for restoring anything. 😎
Nicely reworked! That vise was made the same year I was born, haha. And for the life of me, I don't understand why I haven't purchased one yet!
Thank you, MIchael! I couldn't recommend one enough! Definitely get one, new or old, they're still going to this day!
Always fun to watch you work👍
Thank you, John!
Very nice refurbishing project. And while not one piece was powder coated, the finish looks very proper for that vice... Thumbs Up!
Cheers, Gary! I am now powder coating behind the scenes and have been for a while. A few coming projects will be powder coated. Can't wait to share!
Love the restoration video! And your bmw build!
Thanks Buffalo, glad you're enjoying it!
I’ve always wanted one of these vices 😊
They are such handy things! I think I'll get good use out of this one.
Bravo le résultat est impeccable et la peinture superbe 👍🤩
Thank you!!

Steven, I DO miss these old type videos…you’re STILL a goddamned magician!!!🔥🔥
Many thanks as always Micheal! And don't worry! Lots more of these to come once the Touring is finished!
Cant go wrong with green Hammerschlag Lack on tools like this. Looks great. I also like that you did not removed the casting traces
Excelente trabajo, como siempre 👏👏
Thank you!
Nice job - think i would have went with Nylon for the soft jaws though..
I think that's what the originals were, so you're right!
What a great transformation 👍👍
Thanks!
I think this is the first YT video with sandblasting that the gloves in the tank aren't about to totally crumble apart, nice restoration!
Thanks Steev! If I didn't have pro gloves, this pressure cabinet would literally blast a hole in my hand/finger, its crazy compared to my old one... Very fast though :D
Very neat soldering vice
Exactly what I plan to use it for :D
That would make a great vise for a Jewler, or someone who works on small stuff and needs flexibility in their vise! Great job!
Definitely! I plan to use it for soldering and anything that a gentle touch. Cheers, Pyro!
Ideal for model making 👍
Absolutely!
literally all it's good for
I'd never known of these, but then in one day, you restore this one, and Pask Makes builds one from scratch! 😅😂
I just saw that video! Very cool!
Very good!
I'm from Americana SP Brasil.
Thank you as always!
Nice job..👍
Cheers!
Very cool
Cheers!
Great job 👍
Thank you as always!
Nice job, I have the exact same vice.
Great little vice. Cheers!
Sensacional gostei de mais valeu amigo 👍👏
😄 Its called "sand blasting", I will support you because you are english, I really like the uk, good people in majority, specially north people, not all of them ofcourse, dispite the sedition taking place now across the whole country, well done and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks for the support Pazzy! It would be called sand blasting, if I were using sand, but I'm not :D
@RestoreIt Any time mate, it's called "sand blasting" in general, regardless of the media you are using, you do have a good one indeed, BTW where is your work shop in the UK?!! keep on 👍🏻
Better than new! BTW, what does the V 3 on the screw mean?
Thanks Watchyn!! And I'm not sure come to think of it...
“In between lathes” sounds like a serious and unpleasant thing to catch.
I hope you recover ASAP. 😊😅
Oh, I have a terrible case of it :D Cheers!
@@RestoreIt 💊💉
Hope I never get it! Brrrrr…
@@RestoreIt Any “vaccine” planed and in place in the near future?
You're fixing to end up on one of those 1hr "work fails" videos if you wear that flappy shirt in front of the wire wheel.
Coveralls man!
Very true! I'll be careful!
I would have gone with HDPE jaws but you do you. PTFE can sometime be "too" soft.
I've not heard of that stuff before, I'll look into it, cheers!
also slippery i would imagine since ptfe = teflon
@@RestoreIt HDPE is commonly known as “cutting board material”. 😅
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
That vice would have been super useful for restoring that vice.
Haha, very true!
I like those tables, and the prices aren’t bad either. The basics one is $309.99.
Btw I have nothing to do with company in any way shape or form.
I was shocked at the quality, they're so good!
@@RestoreIt The quality has to be great to carry 355 pounds. And usually when they add a little bit of technology into something, suddenly the price goes quadruple, but these guys are not ripping people off.
11:43 Considering how slippery PTFE is, why would you use that as vice jaws? Do you mean HDPE?
فنان بصراحة
بس اتمنى انك تاخذ نظافة المكان في الاعتبار وبتكون افضل واحد في العمل هذا
Thank you! The workshop does need a good clean, yes! :D
My pannavise looks like that but it’s only 5 years old
Crazy that they are still going to today!
@@RestoreIt yeah! I use mine all the time
A beauty🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏
Thanks, Roger!
My original jaws were black. Weren’t yours?
No, they were white. They came in three different types.
What are the chances?! PaskMakes just uploaded a vid where he recreated one of these because he couldn't find one to buy used. (Brilliant watch btw, would highly recommend checking him out). I never knew this type of vice existed, and now I've seen 2 vids on it in a week
Strange how that happens isn't it. I've seen his vid. Very, very cool. Cheers!

Oh wow! They really do last a lifetime! I was going to go grey, but this one was green and I've seen quite a few of the first ones in this colour. Maybe it was a UK only thing, I'm not sure.
Well.. compared to My Mechanic channel... you only use some hand tools... no lathe etc. But, the result is awesome.
I'm in between lathes at the moment, which is why I improvised one, but I will have a new one soon! Thanks for the feedback!
The finished restoration looks very nice and deserves praise. However some of the engineering practices you use leave a lot to desire. Using any rotating power tool must be done with safety in mind.

I prefer narration overASMR
