Record Quick Release Vice : Strip, Clean and Reassembly

A strip down, clean, paint and reassembly of a Record Number 23 ‘Made in England’ quick release fitters vice. There’s a little history, and an estimate of the age of my new (old) workshop vice thrown in for good measure.

I bought the vice from a garage sale down the road for 60 English pounds. Compared to what £60 will get you new, I think it was a bargain.

Although it was likely salvageable, I make a new replacement handle from scratch, rather than spending time trying to clean up the old one. Possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this was never meant to be a faithful restoration of a historically significant tool. It’s a refurbishment of a common or garden bench vice that I’ll be using for anything and everything in my workshop from now on.

The paints I use in the video come from www.paragonpaints.co.uk/ - a company I have no affiliation with.

As an Englishman, I spell vice with a C. And I occasionally spell clamp with an R.

But not always.

I hope everyone can get on with that.

As with my other films, this is not intended to be a how to. I'm not suggesting my method is the proper, best or only approach. It's just a record of what I did.
