Broken Small Vise Restoration

In this video I will be restoring a small broken jewellers / Watchmakers Vise. And to accompany it I will make a custom stand. This restoration started. In the summer of 2019. As I was rummaging through old tools at a boot sale I stumbled across this vice. Even though I had never welded I still bought it for £2 with the intention of learning. Since then I have welded a couple of times however this was by far the most challenging. I began this restoration by removing the bolt that was used to “fix” the vice. I attempted to remove the bolt with the impact screwdriver. This clearly didn’t work. I then enlisted the help of the grinder. After a quick clean I soaked the parts in Evapo Rust over night. The next morning I cleaned all the parts and started preparing the surface for welding. In order to keep the parts levelled I clamped them together and placed the clamp in a vice. I then proceeded to heat the whole vice evenly in order to prevent cracking. Since I was welding cast iron I had to use nickel rods. At first the welding was rather challenging, however after many mistakes I managed to achieve a satisfactory result. Immediately after welding I covered the vice with sand to cool it down slowly (this should prevent cracking). After a few hours I removed the vice and began to grind all the excess material away. I then filled all the imperfection and sanded the parts before painting. Now that the vice was complete I began making a stand. I used a block of what I presume is mahogany. After many hours of chiselling I applied 2 coats of varnish to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Finally after reassembly I screwed the vice to the stand and the project was complete.
