Damn dude!!! I've never seen any other restoration video where this kind of work out was shown. That is a heavy-duty vise. You have a great deal of tenacity for sure. You should be awarded a plaque for hardest working man on you tube. I subbed you.

Given the tools you had available to use on this project, you were determined, and in the end you gave this vise many more years of life. Well done.

An old tugboat i used to work on had an extremely beat up one of these exact vises in the engine room. The owner used to travel the world doing odd jobs with his little boat so no telling where he got it from.

That's a very old pre WW2 Boley vise. I have a very old Bruno Mädler catalog where these are sold as "Original Boley", with exactly this shape. I have a picture of a different Bruno Mädler catalog where they especially mention the circular groove in the jaw inserts. There is also an old auction on ricardo, so if you google: boley schraubstock 100mm ricardo, you will find it. The pictures show the exactly same shape as your vise and the special jaw insert key system. It also shows the "G Boley" stamped in in front of the front jaw inserts, at it was usually done on these very old vises. Maybe yours had the stamping, too. If it's not so old, then somebody used the Boley patterns to cast new vises, and went the full mile with the jaw inserts, but I very much doubt it.

I am so glad you didn’t take apart the handle. Excellent job!!!

That was hard work, but it’s a masterpiece! Well done JoLi! 👏🏻

Quite a fight with disassembly but well done.

Thanks for sharing your struggles. It turned out beautiful. The slides looked like they were floating on air. I echo others about some type of bath to soak instead of a sledge. My vote is no music. Beautiful Vice with many more yrs of service!👍🏼🤜

Dovetail vices are amazing until they are seized up then they are a waking nightmare....

Smooth as silk

Very nice! 👏👏

Certainly not a Gressel vice, it is a copy of a Leinen vice, there are small differences.

Poctivy kus liatiny a ocele exelentntna praca bud zdravy pozdravujem zo slovenska🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰💯%

Well, I think it might be wise to put this vice to a tank with rust remover for 24 hrs instead of trying open by "hammering". Also heating one of the part might help. Brute force can damage sliding surfaces so such approach looks risky. Other than that, restoration looks good, attention to the details and accuracy.

Big, beautiful and totally badass! Wow. 👌

Excellent!

Legen Sie beim nächsten Mal den rostigen Schraubstock oder was Sie sonst noch restaurieren in Essig und 3-5 Esslöffel Salz, lassen Sie es 24-48 Stunden einwirken und sehen Sie, wie es sich auflöst.

mine also had the same orange paint with blue underneath

For future reference cheap automatic transmission fluid works well as a penetrating oil. Heat it up and put atf on it and itll suck into the joint thats siezed and make it easier to break loose.

Hallo und danke für das Video! Konntest du inzwischen noch etwas über den Hersteller herausfinden? Ich bin nämlich auch an solch einen Schraubstock gekommen, nur kleiner (120mm Backen), aber vom Aufbau und Formgebung exakt gleich 😊

Belíssimo trabalho . Por favor , no próximo vídeo coloque uma música mais agradável ou deixe o som ambiente . Parabéns.

That vise looks like a Gressel vise.

Use some break free or wd 40 spray on the parts , even if you have to wait till the next day, rather than forcing the parts.

im sorry i only speak english i have the exact vise and dont know who made it, im thinking east german, did you find out anything about the maker

Wouldn't sandblasting be better

Wie heißt das Lied oder die Lieder die spielen?

Dat Dingen ist aus den frühen Siebzigerjahren, BAUHAUS-Hausmarke. Man munkelt, dass das damals ein grauer DDR-Export von SZ (Spannwerkzeuge Zeulenroda) war..

You missed a spot.

iyi güzel de böylesine kirli bir iş evin içinde nasıl olur

Good video. Job well done. Really annoying music.

Should have used a hydraulic jack to open jaws

What the fuck is with every single restoration channel with no talking just silence who likes that I can’t stand it I wanna watch these amazing tools be restored but just with no talking no nothing I don’t understand you people who like this

NUEVAMENTE, MUCHA HERRAMIENTA PERO CERO DE CONOCIMIENTO PARA REALIZAR UNA RESTAURACION, OJALA LO HUBIERA ENCONTRADO, PARA PODER HACER LO QUE SE DEBE LASTIMA

YOU LOST ME WITH THE SLEDGE HAMMER POUNDING ON THE VISE. DON'T YOU THINK THAT DAMAGED THE THREADS EVEN MORE? I HATE SEEING TOOLS ABUSED LIKE THIS.

Great restoration, but the music was repetitive, annoying and off putting. Had to mute it.

Die Musik nervt einfach nur.

Isso não é uma restauração é uma reforma muito ruim...
