    You hit the nail on the head. Nothing is built to last these days; indeed; I argue they are built with planned obsolescense in mind. Designed to fail within 2 years; long enough for the consumer to forget a warranty, but short enough to get the buyer back into the dealership again.
    I have a 1958 B250 tractor. It was built tough; and is still going strong today. 63 years of hard work and she's still going strong.

      I have one yard that I don't get any hassle. The owner recognized me because I was a pallbearer for his cousin. Sad, but the man let's me pick and dig around.
      The other yard I go to trys to give everyone a hassle. I make a mental list of what I would like to find and I go with a friend who is selling a load of scrap. We pull in and start slowly off loading his scrap. Anything I see that I want, i put on the trailer or in the toolbox of the truck. That yard weighs you in and out. You're paid for the amount you weigh less leaving so anything I grab is paid for. One time a guy asked me about something on the trailer leaving and I just told him that it wasn't supposed to be scrap and that someone must have put it on the trailer by mistake.
      If you don't know anyone who sells scrap to the yards, go by one and wave down a pickup truck with two or three guys in it. The pickup without a trailer and two or three guys is generally going to be a few wine-os. It's a couple of alcoholics that gather up enough junk to buy a bottle of booze.
      Tell them what you want to do and offer to pay them. They'll jump at the deal. They get some junk and let you ride with them. While inside and off loading, do what plundering you can. Since they're getting extra drinking money, they will call you often and offer to take you in. You can even make them a list and they'll do your shopping for you! Hopefully some of this will help.
      Yall Take Care and be safe, John

    The old UK tool company "Woden" had a range of cast steel engineers vices for sale in the early to mid 1900's.
    They're tough as hell, but are easy fix with a welder if you do break one because, unlike cast iron, the localised heating at the site of a weld doesn't fill the material with micro fractures.
    I used to find a vice at the local scrap metal recyclers, buy it, renovate it, use it for a few months, then find something better at the scrap yard, and the cycle started again. I must have bought, done up, and eventually sold 15 to 20 vices over 3 or 4 years ! The last one I found was a quite battered Woden "186e/8A Steel" Quick Release vice. Being an all steel body meant I just built up weld in the few badly mangled areas, and ground it back to the original shape. It's been a real gem of a tool. Since getting that I haven't found any others I wanted to replace it with.
    I still buy the occasional tatty vice to do up though. Why wouldn't I? They cost their scrap value by weight, they usually just need stripping, cleaning, de-rusting, painting, and greasing. Then once checked over and cleaned up, there's currently an alarmingly large mass of people on eBay who are willing to bid what I feel to be ridicules money for good quality classic vices !
    I'm not working at the minute, so who am I to turn down some reasonably easy pocket money ? :D

    Instead of using a brass alloy to make repairs on these vices you may want to investigate nickel-based alloys instead. I have not brazed a vice, but I have used nickel brazing filler rods on many other items made of a wide variety of ferrous metals with excellent results. Generally speaking, nickel-based alloys are stronger than brass alloys and are especially appropriate for cast iron and mild steel joinery. In addition, the nickel alloys wet better and have better thermal characteristics match to those base metals than brass alloys do. They are more expensive, however. I absolutely love well-made tools and am blessed to have some that were my grandpa's. He was a master machinist but most of his tools were auctioned off, but a few escaped the sale and are now mine until they pass to my son. It is a joy to use quality tools that have stood the test of time. They should be preserved! Thanks for what you do!

    Part of the trouble with waste is that as economies advance, materials get cheaper and mass production gets more efficient, while individual labor becomes more expensive. It used to make economic sense to repair as much as possible, and people valued things that could have lasted longer. But we’re at a point now that repairs don’t make much sense for most people, so the incentive is to make goods as cheap and replaceable as possible.

    Hi, you showed in some videos how you walk through a scrapyard. At all scrapyards I habe been they told me that they only sell to Bug companies. Do you have some recommendations near Frankfurt?

    I very much appreciate you mentioning the names of various things in german but It'd be way nicer of you if u also show us the pronunciation as well. I'm in the process of learning german and these translations are hard to find sometimes

      try leo.org for special translations; they really have compendium of huge amounts of technical terms

    It seems that vises are your vice.

    Erstklassige Arbeit, wie immer. Vielleicht ein Tip: Anstelle von WD40 benutze ich Mannol 9932...in jeder Hinsicht das bessere Mittelchen für die Arbeiten die du machst.
