He made it like brandy new. Some people would let that nice old vice hit the scrap pile.

That's a neat vise and fine refinishing job. Looks to be foreign but this guy has to be made aware of Evaporust for future projects. It does an awesome job when used correctly and can be had for $22USD. My shop is never without it.

Sand/media blaster are really nice to have but they sure do make a mess.

They don't make them like they used to.

People pay big bucks for these restored ancient vices. They even collect them.

Throw out the WD-40. If he’d hit it with Kroil. It would have opened. And a crescent wrench? If he has a mill to make a tool, he would have sockets and ratchets.

Nice work although, replacing the jaws seemed a little odd to me. I would have re-surfaced the originals.

They sure do, and you should see the prices for old blacksmithing anvils. It's astounding what folks pay for them, but where else can you get one nowadays.

Why the oil stoning before sand blasting?

I would think using the stone after blasting would save time (with judicious aiming of the sand of course)
