Like an old aged King asked the guy to restore his childhood vise.. and the guy restored it with honor and respect.. 🙏

probably one of the best restorations on KZfaq

This is possibly the most impressive restorations I've ever seen. That thing was absolutely brutalized and it looks better than it ever did new. A work of art

This might be the best tool restoration video I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Wonderful job.

It is beyond a restoration. It is improved from the original factory condition. But now it is too nice to use.

That old Wilton had seen some rough times but you took it back to better than factory new. Great work!!

Beautifully engineered vise. Meticulous restoration to preserve this piece of history. Thank you for sharing,

It's actually ridiculous how beautiful it looks

Oh man it's been a long time since I saw a vintage Wilton. That was built back when everything had soft swoopy lines and lots of curves. Back when everything looked like an airplane lol. It's a beautiful vise, and you did a great job restoring it.

The most beautiful vice I've seen. This tool looks usually very utilitarian but this manufacturer invested in good design as well, which is rare.

Stunning work. I recently returned home with my fathers collection of rusty anvils, vices, tongs etc. You’ve inspired me to clean them up.

Have not seen a vise restoration as good as this and is now 2022. SUPREME WORK SICK MASTER MECHANIKER !!!

This has been my favorite vise project I have seen on KZfaq. It is gorgeous and I love the process you did to restore it. I've watched people sand blast, use electrolysis, all sorts of things. You were successful using chemicals and hand tools. Just phenomenal!

One of the most satisfying restoration videos I've had the pleasure to watch. Beautifully done!

Giving 'My Mechanics' a run for his money. Excellent work.

Thank you for posting. My neighbor gave me the same model vise. I wouldn't have known how to disassemble to clean or where to lube without your video.

I know this was from two years ago, but wow! What a beautiful restoration! My Grandfather had one just like that in his workshop on his farm in Mississippi. Fantastic work!

This is no longer a tool but a work of art

*inserts “Dayum” gif - That’s an amazing restoration.

Better than new! Fantastic!!!

''ABSOLUTELY AWESOME'' That's the most beautiful 70 year old antique I ever seen !!!! I tip my hat to you ''Sir''.....

Better than it was brand new..!! This thing is incredible. Seriously never seen a restoration better than this in my life. Just absolute perfection!

My grandfather has one of these It was his fathers We still use it like it’s brand new

What a gorgeous transformation

Awsome find and work! I did a quick search and the company still exists and makes these vises after 70+ years.

I want to display that on my coffee table. Masterful work.

This is *madness* . I'm thrilled.

That was superbly done! Too beautiful,to actually use!

100% Better than Original !👌👌👌

My father had a Wilton in his workshop, its rests now in my own shop. I wish it looked this good! A beautiful restoration. Well done Sir

Holy shit! Watched the whole thing! Amazing work!!!!

Hard to believe that is the same vise as you started out with. You done an amazing job on it. It is better than new after all you done.

And the final restoration is beyond words... Just utterly gorgeous! You sir are an artist! 👩‍🎨

This vice probably looks better now than it did when it was new. Splendid restoration.

Attention to details and the will for perfection makes the whole story 💪🤩🤩🤩

Résultat époustouflant ! Super 👍

It's one of the best restorations I've seen, if not the best. The vise came out looking better than it did when it left the factory!

Wow! Just an excellent restoration. Learned a lot watching your techniques. Thanks!

THAT. IS. BEAUTIFUL!!!

OUTSTANDING JOB thanks for sharing

You done a fantastic job restoring the wilton vice. Absolutely stunning

Incredibly well done. Quality vice very much improved from the factory. True show piece! Detailed craftsmanship!

Extreme Detailing. That's Great ! 👍

I'm in love with your bench grinder.

You sir, are a true Artist. Absolute beauty in your work. I use Wilton Vises everyday and never in my life did I picture it as a true work of art. You ROCK...

Now that’s what you call a restoration,nothing left untouched. Fantastic.

Magnificent restoration...far better than new with all the casting ridges removed.

Excellente restoration sir❤️👍💯🙏💪

As usual, vintage artwork fit for a King!

There is a lot of art on this. Thats why there is room for everyone on yt for restaurations. I can never get enough! Great content !

Restored so well that it's ready to go into a museum! Nice work!

The polish pops with that black paint same with the USA dunlop u da vice man love all your vice restos excellent

I’ve commented on this before, but it’s just pure artwork! Imagine the hours that went into this?

Amazing workmanship. Museum quality attention to detail. You are as much an artist as a machinist.

Truly a joy to behold, better than new!

Wow, beautiful restoration. We would call this a FLO piece (For Looks Only)

👍 You have done a Magnificent Job! Taking Tools to Another Level! AMERICA This is What INDUSTRIAL ARTS is All ABOUT! & MUCH MORE!

This was the greatest thing I have ever watched on KZfaq, thank you for taking the time to make this.

Nice to"hear" you finally switched to a sharp file.

Beautiful vise and beautiful job.

Gorgeous restoration in the same vein as My Mechanics, thorough and skilled workmanship. Would love to have a vice like that!

I love the way you made the new anvil out of weld! Stunning!

Gorgeous, it’s art.

Wow, much MUCH better than new, great work

An A+ effort, perfect and thank you for lubing all interior surfaces, one thing I would have put a washer between the swivel hold down bolt on each side and the base, the tightening and loosening over time will wear the paint on the base away. Really can be proud of such a great result!

That's the most complete recovery I've ever seen.

I think they look better than when they were first made.

Better than new, definitely!

A beautiful job. I pays to go the extra mile. Thank you for your work. Really enjoyed watching!

This was an amazing restoration! I really appreciate you removing the sharp edges and casting seams, and polishing the bare metal parts! Brilliant!

Labor of love! Museum piece now!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART MY FRIEND!!!

I love those old Wilton Bullets. You did a great job restoring it. Thanks !

I have a vise identical to this one. Unrestored and I still use it almost every day. This was a high end vise back in 1949. A vise like this one today would cost $600 USD. Beautiful restoration.

good job dude . professional . Patience . enjoyable . May the God give you the strength 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Craftmanship at its best..

Congratulations. This is one of the best restorations I have ever seen.

Having done two Wilton bullet vise restorations, neither as good as yours, my favorite part was first that you were lucky to get a vise with the end-cap in fairly good shape. And then you were particularly meticulous in correcting it's form and sanding it smooth. The impact on the finished restoration sets off well against the re-machined jaws. Very nice indeed!

Very very nice work..This is excellent Restoration...far better then ORIGINAL.....amazing..

Man alive...sure is a thing of beauty!😍 Very well done!👍🏼

BEST TABLE VISE RESTORATION EVER FANTASTIC AMAZING INCREDIBLE DETAIL YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK BUD AND I'M SURE YOU KEPT THAT TABLE VISE AND I ALSO LIKE THE STYLE OF THE BULLET TABLE VISE AND THE 2 SWIVEL TIGHTENERS....BETTER THEN BRAND NEW.....

Excellent! Its a great looking vise. I like that you painted it black also. A great color for a classic item.

Excellent Restoration!😊😊

Perfect restoration. Keep it up 👍

Você é incrível. Não te escapa nem um detalhe. Sou sua fã. As peças que você restaura deve ficar mais bonita do que na época que foram fabricadas. Suas ferramentas também são Top. Parabéns. Curto muito seu canal. Sou de Juiz de fora - Minas Gerais- Brasil.

Nice to find someone else on the same league of my mechanics!

Bravo, well done!

Great job...Better than new!

Now this is a restoration. It looks like it came out of the factory. I love that you used Hammerite paint. It gives that hammer finish look. Excellent work.

PIĘKNIE ODRESTAUROWANE IMADŁO . BRAVO !

Wilton tool manufacturing had their factory on Wrightwood Ave right next to the L tracks in Chicago. Of course, the building has long been demolished and housing built at the site. Restoration was top notch. Kudos.

a +++++ restoration thank you for sharing .

Теперь ими пользоваться нельзя-покорябаешь!Красава!

Perfect job sir. I'm so glad guys like you are still exist in this planet. Please keep up the awesome job you do sir and thanks for sharing it with us.

This vise belongs in a museum.

This man is the Yehudi Menuhin of restoration of stuff, and how to do a YT video. My idea of an engineering masterpiece is to change the four spark plugs on my old 1990 TP Magna wagon. But, without much fear of contradiction, this is the best video I've ever seen on YT. Hands down! No 'music' or yakety yak. Dear God...thank you!!! Visually, wonderfully informative. It was also an excellent instruction lesson. Fully excellent production. It was as though I was standing next to MM while he was doing the job. The blokes in the factory that made this vice would be looking down from heaven with tears in their eyes. Thank you!

No rough edges survived. Respect the patience in the tediousness of this restoration .

The tools are always in better condition once you have restored them compared to when they were sold new. Amazing attention to detail. Mark

One word: Outstanding!
