I bought these two huge rusted dirty old vises about a year ago, and now I finally got around to restoring the first of the two. I was originally going to put of these into one video, but due to getting a Sandblasting Cabinet and involving Machining among other things, the restoration turned out to be so much work that the video would have gotten too long. So I'm splitting this up and only doing the first vise for this video which is now my main workshop vise. Next time you'll see the second one being restored, which is even bigger and heavier!
