Why would I WELD a vise back together? I found this Old Broken Bench Vise in a guys scrap pile. He said that’s IMPOSSIBLE to fix, I said “WATCH ME!” I just laughed as I put it in the bed of my truck and drove away, but I was really thinking "This one's gonna be good!"
I would truly appreciate it if you'd take the time and watch as I take this heap of scrap metal and return it to it's original glory as a BEAUtiful Fully Functional Bench Vise!!

  • What did you REALLY think when you FIRST saw this vise in the thumbnail?

    • I thought , this is gonna be good, I want to see just how he plans to get broken castiron welded to a point that it can withstand the pressures generated by a vise without it blowing back apart. Lol The type of rod you used , preheating it, then packing it in sand for a slow cool down was informative. Thanks.

    • I thought, Oh cool, a 524 vice 👍 We had one decades ago when I was a child. I'm pretty sure my Dad still has it. I wonder if that breakage is a weak point in the design? img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/walnut_charlie/Practical%20Machinest/Vise-2.jpg

  • Very good restoration. A humble advice to your next restoration, you must keep the piece to be welded approximately within 400 ° centigrade at all times, the sand or lime that you use must also be hot so that the cooling is smooth and even, so that tensions or critical points are not formed . Excuse my English, because I'm using the google translator. Greetings from Argentina, and again congratulations for the restoration.-

  • Every time I watch a vice restoration video, I get all pumped up to finish my bench vice restoration. Then I remember I need to buy de-greaser and some wheels for my grinder.... and self etching primer... and paint... then, I forget to buy it when I'm at Canadian Tire. Then I watch a vice video again and remember I need too buy all that stuff. Then I forget again. It's an endless cycle.

  • Probably 50 years ago I came across a big vice with 6" jaws, the front jaw was broken off about 3" down. I didn't have a big vice and really wanted to fix it. I knew I didn't have the ability to weld cast iron yet. I was talking to a friend at work and he had welded cast iron and was willing to help or do it for me. So we rig a way to clamp it so we could grind and weld. As you, we pre heated with a torch, welded it and used the torch t8 let it cool slowly, this took about about 3-3 1/2 hours to keep heat in the jaw. I didn't do as much as you, I just wanted to get the jaw back on. I've used a 4lb shop hammer when wanted to bend or beat on something. It's still serving my needs, I just don't beat as hard as I once did. You did a superb job, I would bet on your repair work against anyone I've ever seen. Especially in the looks department. Great job

  • This vid shows a few things: 1.) This vice when you picked it up was rated '5-B'---- 4 buzzards circling, and one swooping! You took on a super gutsy project here. 2.) After SHTF, and we collapse as a society, a talented welder will be more than a useful guy 3.) persistence pays off. And sometimes a rarely used tool is just what you need. Those jaws were crying for that hand impact, and you had one! Just because 'You'll not use it much' might be true, when you do need it It'll bring a smile to your face when it works. Also there are many ways to attack any problem Great job on this restore which will be working long after you have past on!

    • Thanks for watching CWI or is it JR or.... well whatever... every "certified welding instructor" I spoke with told me it wasn't worth even trying and blah blah blah blah... you missed the point of the video, I was attempting to save an old American tool, and inspire others to get out there and actually start learning a skill like welding without people thinking they have to go to school and learn from CWI's who have nothing better to do than tell everyone that they arent doing it right... case and point is that your comment did not include a single bit of constructive criticism or advise, just what I did "wrong" (plus I wasn't using the hammer to remove the slag, it was mostly being used to peen over each section of weld to relieve the potential for cracks since i'm welding cast iron here not steel.)

    • In many cases they’re better quality than what you can buy new today. Or if you can it’ll cost a fortune. I gave myself a crash course education on Vise history recently when I was researching which one to buy for work. I quickly found out that antique vises are far stronger than most you can buy today. I think they’re are a few companies left that make extremely high quality cast Iron vises (Morgan?) but they mostly sell direct to professionals and other companies. I saw the price list for them and it was something like $2,000-10,000 depending on the vise. 😬 The irony is that these old Vises were so well made and lasted for such a long time that the companies who made them went out of business because they ran out of customers. Victims of their own success. 😂 You see this scenario with a lot of early American products and tools. Companies learned this lesson well which is why most goods these days are cheaply made. They don’t acknowledge publicly that it’s the reason but it’s pretty obvious since very few companies put any effort into making quality products that can last a lifetime anymore. Luxury cars are some of the worst offenders, my family’s mechanic once told me basically that looking at the engine of a BMW will bring you to one of two conclusions. 1. The engineers were completely fucking retarded. 2. They designed it to break on purpose. 🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s the world we live in now.

I'm pretty sure that this vice will last you forever and by the way it just turned out great. Kind regards from Germany.

  • Good job. When I was a trainee plant fitter, one of the excersises we had to do was to clean and prep a smashed cast iron exhaust manifold and then braze it back together. This took two days to do and a night of cooling down. We had dried sand, asbestos blankets and fire bricks which were used for the cooling down process. The following morning, after retrieving the still warm manifold, you presented it to your tormentor, sorry…. Tutor whereupon he would give it an almighty thwack onto a piece of wood on the floor. If it broke, you had failed. Most broke. Mine did not. 45 years later I’m still proud of that manifold.

  • For relatively small parts like this, a pre heat in an oven works best for me. In a pinch the kitchen oven will do. Let a part like this soak for at least two hours. After welding/brazing, put back in the pre-heated oven and turn it off. It will cool slowly over a period of several hours. Unless you pre heated the sand, that would be enough thermal shock to crack the casting. Nice fix, for all that -

    • Thank you Glenn! Ya I considered using the stove, but using the torch was faster... Not sure if i agree on needing to preheat the sand. It acts like an insulator and once the part is surrounded in it, the sand will warm up , but it just keeps the heat from escaping the repaired part too quickly, because as you know, that's what causes the cracks in cast iron repairs!

    • My Dad had an old stove in his shop and used the oven regularly to heat things he welded and brazed. It might be a bit slower than a torch but he was in no hurry, and he could do other things while getting up to temperature. He also cooled things down in the oven. And made coffee on the one top element that still worked.

I've seen where the spindle and the nut had the thread stripped or damaged beyond repair, but never where the sliding jaw broke off - quite impressive actually. 🤔 - ha ha, that bull dog is a lazy old dog, it won't move..

    • @@SalvageWorkshop I broke an old Samson vise in the same place. I think it had been cracked for quite a while, with the crack growing a little at a time until it finally let go. When I cleaned it up I found that it had been repaired (both welded and brazed) at least twice previously in the same area. I tried welding it again, but my preheat wasn't as good as yours and I didn't use the right filler, so it only lasted about a year. Yours looks like a much better repair. The second time mine broke, I decided cast iron could take a flying leap and built a new slider/jaw from scrap steel. It's not nearly as pretty as yours but it's held up great so far.

    • Bessemer patented a process that converted pig iron into steel by injecting air into the molten iron thus oxidizing silicones and carbon. It was originally developed in Japan centuries ago but never used on a large scale. It was revolutionary in the industrial processing of steel, but it had little or nothing to do with refurbishing old tools and vises...

  • Nice job on the restoration. It came out like a new vice. Good idea bluing the non-painted parts, but an alternative idea to grinding the jaws smooth is to make some "soft jaws" from sheet metal. That way, you have the best of both worlds, regular jaws and smooth jaws. I was interested to watch your video when it came up in the suggestions, as I did exactly the same repair as this on a smaller vice. However, it was't as tricky as your repair, because my vice was a lot newer and it just had a split pin to retain the spindle. I also didn't bother with the cosmetic JB Weld idea on my vice, with it being a newer vice and not an antique like your vice. You should take the vice back and show the guy you got it from. He'll never believe it's the same vice.
