  • 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!

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!
