Got some birthday presents!

Fixed it for you ;)

She came apart very easy and is now taking a bath

Not really. The ones you see here I collected in a period of roughly a year. In that time maybe two or three others were for sale. The majority of vises for sale is a mix of Heuer Front's, English made vises and off course a lot of **** chinese pot metal ones.

Thanks. The swivel mech works fine, I just grab a wrench . Twist & turn.

Awesome thread. Never posted here, thought it was about time. York 150 I restored for the garage of my Car Club York 80 I gave to my brother York 80 I restored for another family member And from left to right: York 60 for on my service cart (will be fully restored), the York 80 mentioned...

Got it! And one picture with the rest of the family Going to restore this one and swap it for the current vise on my bench. Now the hunt for a 125 is on!

good job!

I don't use paint on the handles. These were soaked overnight in the electolysis tub. After that I cleaned them with a bronze coated wire wheel. For protection against corrosion a good scrub with some carnuba wax.

Going to look at a York 100 this weekend!

My modest collection of hammers:

cleaned, sanded, polished, done!

Awesome video showing the history of Hazet. Sorry if this has been posted already.

Used the brown anti-rust primer and the red top coat. Its been a couple of days now and the paint has dried and hardened really well.

I vouch for the steel wool and WD40 method. That box came with a nice patina. That box now has character unlike any other (over)restored boxes. Just give it a good scrubbin', afterwards some wax and a fine cork liner!

Done! Don't want to let this one go actually.. And a **** shot from the rear In other news, the 60 is taking an (electrolysis) bath right now.

Thanks. Some of the vises in this thread are gifts to family members. So they are very glad with my 'problem' ;) Today I shot the paint. Used the aerosol cans of Rustoleum Hard Hat paint. Love that! Very nice to work with and it came out nice. Hope it will hold up well.

Paint tomorrow!

Had the cork roll for a while now, but today I finally had the time to line the toolbox with it. Looks nice, now lets see how it will hold over time.

That is beyond cool. I would love to restore the **** out of that. Excuse my french.
