He has what seems like a dream "job"! I'm guessing there are tedious parts too, maybe the whole video production aspect takes some fun out of it all, but man... To repair old and interesting stuff to a higher than factory standard and, hopefully, be well compensated for it is just an awesome way to live! I'm so envious!
I am a lady in her mid-seventies with no interest or aptitude in engineering or mechanics, but oh! how I love to watch you repair these damaged tools and restore them to a state of beauty and a second life. I particularly enjoy it when you make a tool to help you solve some problem. I am so impressed by the filming and editing of your projects. Your work is far superior to that of any other restoration channel. Thank you for the pleasure it has given me over the years.
@Stephen Clark One of the reasons i enjoy this channel is not having to listen to a bunch of untoward comments. I just deeply appreciate the man's skill, performance, and excellence.
@Omega Diving Academy I love it when I see him using a tool that I have watched him restore in a new project - after all, tools are made to be used, not just hung on walls.
as a amateur mechanic i really LOVE to see you keeping everything so clean and orderly in your shop/garage. I am of that same kind of person, and has even painted my workbech white to see all dirt easier. My "thing" is to get into small projects where i do new things out of anything. As i have a rather poor childhood i learned to make my own tools and come up with solutions to problems. LOTS of trial and errors. Like i can feel pretty easy now when a bolt is starting to break, and backs off. I love what you do and i wish i had all your tools and machines. But mostly i love your relaxed style, just doing it slowly and methodically. THAT is what makes these videos extra good.
@HelplmChoking Fair enough, I just wish mass-produced things were a little higher on the quality chart. These days, half of the aftermarket car parts are junk in a box and don't even work. Things we take for granted, like heat-treating a camshaft so it's properly hardened for example. People have perfected heat-treating steel, hardening and tempering. Then, some bean-counters threw away the recipe for success to save a buck. Another major problem is the loss of value in currencies. When money actually had intrinsic value, sincere effort was made to earn that money. Therefore, things were of better quality. Don't forget the wage stagnation of the last 30 years before the lockdowns inspired people returning to the workforce that demand more money or stay home instead. Now, all too many currencies are barely worth the cost of materials and effort to produce. And it can be robbed from you at the whim of Government/Corporate kleptocratic fascist assholes through inflation and devaluation at any time. How many people signed up for pensions that sounded good 30 years ago and now have to work through retirement because the money is worthless? Sorry, just ranting. I don't mean to be rude to you, or even really disagree. I'm just shaking my head thinking things could be better. I just took a job maintaining vacation properties, and one rented at Christmas for USD $90,000 PER WEEK! That is a lot of money for a one week vacation, and it makes me think our currency is a fucking joke all things considered. Can't live without it though, I guess...
@Face2theScr33n that's why this channel hurts to watch sometimes lol can't help imagining a world where every single thing I have was built to this level. Imagine your car, but every nut and bolt was turned to a precise fit, every casting was machined, filed and sanded to a perfect finish and not a single mass produced part existed! It would be a beautiful, intricate and higher quality than literally any other car. Sadly, it would take years of man hours and cost an equally eye watering amount, I guess mass production has its place
What is maybe not so immediately obvious to your viewers is that you are as meticulous and precise with your videography and editing as you are with your machining. It's a joy to see someone who takes so much pride in getting it exactly right. Thanks for all you do.
Yes! And the amount of precise measurements/dimensions he must take in order to make his own parts. That can’t be simple, yet for our sake it’s just “I make a new one”!
My Mechanics | Where only 100% perfection is good enough. Bit of wording/quote inspiration as I really love how you deal with even the smallest things and manage to fix them with ease. Keep up the good work! 👍
This channel is right at the borderline of OCD. The dedication and attention to the last detail is amazing. I also restored an old small 60mm YORK vice, the old, rounded model, not the current version. While I removed all rust and paint and painted new, I do not have a lathe, nor mill, nor sandblasting box, nor welder. But it turned out still pretty nice, but marks from previous use are still noticeable. I wish I had the tools, time and patience like we see on this channel. I love watching your videos, you are simply the best. The last time I used a lathe or mill was 23 years ago. I liked the manual work.
It's the thought that counts and the intent and effort. I had a stroke 3 yrs ago leaving my left arm lame. but it hasnt stopped me. you just need to figure oiut how to clamp stuff. but soldering is tricky and i need my wife to hold the solder !
I loved this video. It's wonderous. Clearly dangerous though, in particular the sandblasting the surface, after having used a solvent or oil - I'ld like to know. I would not have increased the size of it. It is a treasure. This video is like surgery on a rusted metallic solid.
Awesome video, thanks mate! I really appreciate your attention to detail and how you respect the tools you restore. Out of curiosity: where did you get this rusty vise?
I watch your videos to rest my mind when I am sick, and it works. Thanks! I was a little bit worried when you cleaned the handle on the lathe, from a safety point of view that was clearly a no-no for me lol
You aren't demonstrating restorations; you're demonstrating a way of working. Clarity of thought, mindfulness in process, and quality of output. You'd be surprised how often your videos have affected my life in completely unrelated situations.
apply your absolute best in every smallest detail, even in the ones that nobody will notice. because you do it for you, to know you gave everything you could, not for others to enjoy or criticize.
I have a seven year old daughter who has previously never shown any interest in mechanics or engineering, but she adores your videos. We both sit and watch them together after school; I think you have inspired a future engineer! Great work as always.
I watch tons of restoration videos from all sorts of different Clip-Sharers, but somehow yours always end up just being on another level. Not that the others are lacking in any way, yours are just the best. The editing, the production, the quality of the finished product, etc… I’ve also noticed that you keep the always seem to know precisely how long to show us each of the repetitive steps like filing, sanding, sand blasting each part, etc. so that we get the idea without it getting boring. Even though you may spend 10 minutes or something sandblasting a part, we only see a few seconds. I appreciate it as a viewer.
Another masterpiece from my favourite Clip-Sharer/artist. I don’t know how i skip this vid. For so long. But again my mind is settled after watching this. Love from india.
Weird question... what do you do with the metal waste when you mill things? I'm not as concerned about the environmental issues with it, more the creative. I've seen people make things like Damascus blades with it. Have you ever looked into ideas like that? Love the channel, love the work, it soothes me while giving me motivation to work on my own projects.
Another great restoration, so I've seen you use this sanding block on tons of metal parts. What is it called, grit, and where can one purchase it? Thanks.
Great work! I am wondering, and maybe this question has already been answered, but: are you restoring these pieces for re-sale? Or just for yourself and the videos?
Chrisfix tried a penetrating oil made of half automatic transmission fluid and half acetone (iirc). It seemed to be very good at disolving rust and loosening stuff, maybe it can help you sometime?
Must be a great feeling to sandblast off all the dirt and Rust. I was restoring a Horse pulled Plow. It is a nice Feeling to see cleaned, repaired and primed parts in front. LIke a hidden Treasure.
Had a seized rotor on a car once. Using puller tool, when the rotor broke loose it sounded like a gun shot. Thankfully I threaded a lugnut partially on or else the rotor would've smacked me right in the chest
If the snap comes right as the bolt moves for the first time, you're good. If it comes right after the bolt seems to move, although quite slowly and difficultly, then you're most likely screwed.
I was a school bus mechanic for over 30 years. usually for me that "snap" meant get out the punch,drill, and tap, cause the sucker broke off! Even heating and spraying! Oh well, we were always in too big a hurry! Haha.
11:14 So, I've always wondered this. Why not, just use like a stiff foam or even a wood block and paint that, press it to the letters and get just as good if not better lettering with less effort? You just enjoy the painting? I would be terrified I would mess them up some how 😂, perhaps you just have more confidence in your steady hands. 👏 Amazing build as always, and your comment section always has me dying of laughter. Ty for making your videos, they are like a massage for my brain.
My man literally just materialized a 450-500USD Vise from Gressel taken virtually for free. 😆 Your friend must've been very ecstatic knowing that their find now could worth half a grand, probably even more because how well made it is.
that broken drill bit in the other hole leads me to believe that someone was trying to repair it the right way but the bit broke so they went a different route
Videos that will not be skipped by his subscribers. and too Enjoyable to watch, so that 19 minutes feels only 5 minutes. Too Soon to Finish. Most Details Restoration in the World.
Your channel is often imitated but never bettered. Your work is head and shoulders above anyone and anywhere else. You take a decades old piece of junk and make it better than brand new; you turn it into art! Your skill, attention to detail and pursuit of perfection make you the very best and I await your videos probably more than any other on Clip-Share. Please keep amazing us with your work!
@my mechanics I will say, you have ruined restoration videos for me. I simply cannot enjoy them if they are not as attention to detail as yours is now😮💨
I really love how the hot bluing turned out on this one. Super beautiful end result and it was awesome seeing you make tools to solve problems along the way. I love your videos so much.
Does anyone know why he doesn’t use a rubber roller to apply the paint for the lettering? Seems like it would be neater and easier than drawing it by hand.
*You are the reason I started filming my restorations. You inspired 💫 me and I hope one day you find the time to watch one of my videos, your thoughts are very valuable for me.*
saya sangat senang ketika menonton semua konten konten anda. semua peralatan sangat lengkap. cara pengerjaannya sangat baik dan rapi. semua video anda tidak membosankan walaupun ditonton berkali kali ☺️. ditunggu video selanjutnya 👍
It's too bad they don't have something similar to an Academy Award for restorations. If they did, I'd be one of many nominating you for Best Master Restorer. As always, definitely worth the wait. Nobody even comes close in terms of thoroughness and quality of finish.
As usual, I am full of admiration for your talent, precision and care of every detail. The vice after the reconstruction certainly looks better than it was new. Braaavo!
I love that you welded and filed the imperfections. What a huge difference 👏 A lot more work sure, but so pleasing to see. Your restorations are always beautiful
As many of your viewers likely did, I started watching these videos when I was recommended the first rusty vice video here that got several million views. It's great to see yet another vice get the 'my mechanics' treatment as that first one did. In fact, I love watching all of the restorations you've done, whether they are the simpler ones or require more complex techniques and research into the origins of the tool or item in question. Regardless, the professional work and dedication to good presentation make for a very calming experience in times when it seems most forms of media and entertainment are aimed at accomplishing the opposite effect. Thank you!
Einfach herrlich zuzuschauen, mit welcher Präzision und Ruhe der alte Schraubstock wieder zu neuem Leben erweckt wird! Vielen Dank dafür und Grüße aus Eisenhüttenstadt/Deutschland 👍
My theory is that the earth is round because My Mechanics removed all the sharp edges
I laughed at your comment, but I always wonder what can the sharp edges possibly have done to him in the past for him to hate them so much!
You better Not Show @my mechanics minecraft
Don't forget about the blueing of the oceans ;)
Better hope he doesnt decide to make a new one
Lets hope he doesnt have to makje a new one !!!
He has what seems like a dream "job"! I'm guessing there are tedious parts too, maybe the whole video production aspect takes some fun out of it all, but man... To repair old and interesting stuff to a higher than factory standard and, hopefully, be well compensated for it is just an awesome way to live! I'm so envious!
Glad to hear that, thank you

@Tom Perkins i mentioned it. So must matter to me. Right?
@Stephen Clark One of the reasons i enjoy this channel is not having to listen to a bunch of untoward comments. I just deeply appreciate the man's skill, performance, and excellence.
@Jim Cheseborough Oh, please. Does that really matter?
@Omega Diving Academy I love it when I see him using a tool that I have watched him restore in a new project - after all, tools are made to be used, not just hung on walls.
Snap! Just love watching !!
as a amateur mechanic i really LOVE to see you keeping everything so clean and orderly in your shop/garage. I am of that same kind of person, and has even painted my workbech white to see all dirt easier. My "thing" is to get into small projects where i do new things out of anything.

Like i can feel pretty easy now when a bolt is starting to break, and backs off.
I love what you do and i wish i had all your tools and machines.
But mostly i love your relaxed style, just doing it slowly and methodically.
THAT is what makes these videos extra good.
Even though my bench is wood, I clean it too very often :-)
Love your professionalism and precision, lathe close-ups and sandblasting are the best! Thanks for the great material.
Love his work too
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
You’ve done more for Gressel vise sales than any advertising they’ve done in the last 100 years 😂

Restoration, re-use and up-cycle - it's the way to go. Great video and channel content.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Awesome video, thanks mate! I really appreciate your attention to detail and how you respect the tools you restore. Out of curiosity: where did you get this rusty vise?
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work as always, but I would not put grease on the sliding surfaces. This will attract metal filings and dirt.
I always enjoy seeing your clever solutions to problems, like that tool you rigged up to unstick the jaws.
I watch your videos to rest my mind when I am sick, and it works. Thanks! I was a little bit worried when you cleaned the handle on the lathe, from a safety point of view that was clearly a no-no for me lol
I was very nervous too, but it was all clamped very secure
It's always a pleasure to watch your work!
Guys a legend. Love the dedication to restoration. Also love the gressel vice trilogy in general lol
Thank you very much :-)
You aren't demonstrating restorations; you're demonstrating a way of working. Clarity of thought, mindfulness in process, and quality of output. You'd be surprised how often your videos have affected my life in completely unrelated situations.
Eliminating flaws of the original design too...
This channel has made me a better design engineer for sure.
apply your absolute best in every smallest detail, even in the ones that nobody will notice. because you do it for you, to know you gave everything you could, not for others to enjoy or criticize.
@Lurifax fireball guy is amazing
Round corners on everything and countersink every screw! (But yes, I think I get what you mean.)
That was amazing! Wow, thank you for sharing!
A literal perfect restoration as usual
much appreciated :-)
Beyond superior. Masterful. Exceedingly enjoyable seeing you do your craft. I'll call it art.
Thank you very much :-)
I have a seven year old daughter who has previously never shown any interest in mechanics or engineering, but she adores your videos. We both sit and watch them together after school; I think you have inspired a future engineer!

I agree 99% of your comment except for sandblasting... you can't ever get enough of it. It's so satisfaying to watch!
@my mechanics your editing and cutting skill are pretty good :)
Without question. These are the finest resto videos on Clip-Share.
I concur! Well said.
@Perinne bruh
Super.Your work is far superior to that of any other restoration channel.
I'm glad you like it :-)
Another masterpiece from my favourite Clip-Sharer/artist. I don’t know how i skip this vid. For so long. But again my mind is settled after watching this. Love from india.

I recycle everything I can.
MM recycles all metal shavings & swarf from his lathe & mill.
Тот случай, когда отреставрированные тиски выглядят в тысячи раз круче, чем то что продаётся у нас в магазинах
Like everything else that "my mechanics" does, this thing now belongs in a museum. Beautiful work.
much appreciated :-)
Perfect , Accurate & Clean work always 🥰🥰 Love from INDIA!!
Another great restoration, so I've seen you use this sanding block on tons of metal parts. What is it called, grit, and where can one purchase it? Thanks.
@seedling15 Honestly, that part I don't know. I just know the grits that MM has listed in the past and has talked about on Patreon.
@Vickie Bligh Thx so is that the proper grit to use to sand metal to that brushed finish?
@my mechanics My bad 15:42
If you are referring to his sanding plate, it's just an aluminum block, 2.5cm (1in) thick x 30cm square that he attaches 240 grit sandpaper to.
you mean the oil stone? timestamp?
Is it just the photography, or is it really that gorgeous? Either way, great work! (In both categories -- restoration, and (video)photography.)
@my mechanics it's a pleasure to be! Gladly done. :)
Thanks a lot for being here :-)
Beautiful result, Sir. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
Topp Arbeit wie immer!
Great work! I am wondering, and maybe this question has already been answered, but: are you restoring these pieces for re-sale? Or just for yourself and the videos?
@my mechanics you Must have a fancy workshop and living space 😍
I keep them for myself!
@Vickie Bligh i can imagine. You probably never get the money that these pieces are worth after restoration...
MM is keeping this for himself. He's hoping to be able to auction some things, but eBay is being difficult so it will be a while.
Beautiful Job !!
OMG! The patience you have
Chrisfix tried a penetrating oil made of half automatic transmission fluid and half acetone (iirc). It seemed to be very good at disolving rust and loosening stuff, maybe it can help you sometime?
Thanks for the info!
Must be a great feeling to sandblast off all the dirt and Rust. I was restoring a Horse pulled Plow. It is a nice Feeling to see cleaned, repaired and primed parts in front. LIke a hidden Treasure.
The snap sound a bolt makes when coming loose is somehow amazingly satisfying and terrifying at the same time.
Had a seized rotor on a car once. Using puller tool, when the rotor broke loose it sounded like a gun shot. Thankfully I threaded a lugnut partially on or else the rotor would've smacked me right in the chest
@Perinne You need to go back to school.
@Autunite hehe, screwed
If the snap comes right as the bolt moves for the first time, you're good. If it comes right after the bolt seems to move, although quite slowly and difficultly, then you're most likely screwed.
I was a school bus mechanic for over 30 years. usually for me that "snap" meant get out the punch,drill, and tap, cause the sucker broke off! Even heating and spraying! Oh well, we were always in too big a hurry! Haha.
After watching a bunch of your videos, I suspect you might actually be a wizard. Also thank you for no music.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
i literally look for an old vice any vintage store/fair i go - hopefully to idk think that maybe one day i can do my own restoration :)
You can do it!
Genius !! So satisfying to watch.
From start to finish.
Definitely restoration expert.
Lets start the bidding at $500.....
Thanks a lot
11:14 So, I've always wondered this. Why not, just use like a stiff foam or even a wood block and paint that, press it to the letters and get just as good if not better lettering with less effort? You just enjoy the painting? I would be terrified I would mess them up some how 😂, perhaps you just have more confidence in your steady hands. 👏 Amazing build as always, and your comment section always has me dying of laughter. Ty for making your videos, they are like a massage for my brain.
Never tried but I think it sounds easier than it actually would be
Wow didn't expect that drill bit broken inside. That takes some skill getting something like that out. 😅
@Ayaz Restoration Going to sub to the little man too. Everyone needs their fresh start. 😁
What a surprise that was!
My man literally just materialized a 450-500USD Vise from Gressel taken virtually for free. 😆
Your friend must've been very ecstatic knowing that their find now could worth half a grand, probably even more because how well made it is.
They're the best ;-)
I love the sandblasting part!!!
There's a sandblasting special video on my second channel my mechanics insights
that broken drill bit in the other hole leads me to believe that someone was trying to repair it the right way but the bit broke so they went a different route
maybe even in the factory!
Seriously impressive. I wouldn't have the patience.
You can do it!
Newer had vise of that brand but for some reason I think now they look better than they came out from factory 😄
Glad you think so :-)
You could single handedly end the knife crime epidemic with all that removing sharp edges
let's go!
Nagyon szép munka! Gratulálok!
Does the particulate coming off of the piece being ccleaned get mixed with the sand used for sand blasting and then recirculated? what happens to it
When it gets too small it get filtered out, dirt too.
Videos that will not be skipped by his subscribers. and too Enjoyable to watch, so that 19 minutes feels only 5 minutes. Too Soon to Finish. Most Details Restoration in the World.
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
I think I speak for everybody when I say we all look forward to your videos
Thanks for your support :-)
Watching you remove that broken drill bit was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen in a long time.
@my mechanics *boulder begins rumbling*
I felt like Indiana Jones ;-)
@Florida Man *shudders* u right tho
I watched my room mate masturbate when she thought she was alone... that was pretty satisfying.
Or when the vice finally gave way with a satisfying "bang" 1:38 😌
Your channel is often imitated but never bettered. Your work is head and shoulders above anyone and anywhere else.
You take a decades old piece of junk and make it better than brand new; you turn it into art!
Your skill, attention to detail and pursuit of perfection make you the very best and I await your videos probably more than any other on Clip-Share. Please keep amazing us with your work!
@my mechanics I will say, you have ruined restoration videos for me. I simply cannot enjoy them if they are not as attention to detail as yours is now😮💨
yes all other restoration channels are gangster until My Mechanics releases a new video....
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
Excellent work friend, look's great , have a nice day friend !!!.
Thanks you too!
amazing job
Thanks
thank you for sharing this wonderful video , i will watch it again .
@my mechanics thank you i liked your video i will view them again. you folks do top quality work .
Thanks a lot for being here :-)
Amazing your hand work sir, awesome 👌👌👌👌 from INDIA
Like many wonder, can you reveal the total hours to complete this project
14 days
What is the deciding factor between using bluing liquid or heating and quenching in oil?
@my mechanics
Thank you! That was really interesting and gave a more complete answer to my question than I expected! 👍
Here's a video I made about bluing: clip-share.net/video/5Sty5upsadY/video.html
I really love how the hot bluing turned out on this one. Super beautiful end result and it was awesome seeing you make tools to solve problems along the way. I love your videos so much.
Thank you very much!
Too deep damages to file away.
Step 1: make it bigger
let's go!
Does anyone know why he doesn’t use a rubber roller to apply the paint for the lettering? Seems like it would be neater and easier than drawing it by hand.
I guess it would be pretty easy to ruin it if you mess up with the roller.
He's more comfortable with the hand painting.
Вам нужно лазером чистить весь инструмент, так быстрей
This is not only a restoration video. This is art. You are an artist and the restoration products are only a way to show the world your talent.
Glad to hear that, thank you
"A bit of penetrating oil"
*uses half of the can*
oops ;-)
*You are the reason I started filming my restorations. You inspired 💫 me and I hope one day you find the time to watch one of my videos, your thoughts are very valuable for me.*
Nice to hear that, thank you :-)
This was my favorite vise restoration so far. The bluing turned out amazing and it looked awesome with that red and white.
Thank you very much!
saya sangat senang ketika menonton semua konten konten anda.

cara pengerjaannya sangat baik dan rapi.
semua video anda tidak membosankan walaupun ditonton berkali kali ☺️.
ditunggu video selanjutnya 👍
Kan. Rasa tenang bila tengok dia buat satu persatu dengan sangat teliti
Всегда смотрю с наслаждением
I love that you finally got to the tiny vise! Would be great to get a picture of all of them side by side. Gray, Green, Blue & Red. :)
Tenthted
nine-ded
Eight'd, chums.
Sevended!
DO IT!! Bitte, und danke.
Step one. Soak the whole thing in Evapo-Rust for two or three days.
That stuff works.
Yes, but where's the fun ;-)
Omg this looks so cute, I can't use it anymore. 😗🤧
Me too
Dude...just...dooood. that's excellent. Dig the color choice
Happy to hear that!
It's too bad they don't have something similar to an Academy Award for restorations. If they did, I'd be one of many nominating you for Best Master Restorer. As always, definitely worth the wait. Nobody even comes close in terms of thoroughness and quality of finish.

I wish you had videos more often, but I will take quality over quantity any time and your quality is second to none. Simply beautiful.
Wow, thank you!
Excelente trabalho, meus parabéns 👏👏👏
Thanks :-)
The factory worker who left those sharp edges in: Hey! Leave my edges alone!
lol
What kind of files do you use? They are chewing that metal away quick!

As usual, I am full of admiration for your talent, precision and care of every detail. The vice after the reconstruction certainly looks better than it was new. Braaavo!
Glad to hear that, thank you
It always blows my mind how detailed you are at doing these types of repairs.
So glad to hear that :-)
A real pleasure to watch.
That's nice to hear, thank you!
The welding cuts are amazing, I loved that edit. And again, amazing, peaceful, relaxing videos, thank you my mechanics.
"A bit of penetration oil may help"
proceeds to drown the entire object in it
Just a bit ;-)
Literally anything: *damaged beyond repair*
My mechanics: it was damaged, so I make new one.
let's go!
Estaba esperando un video tuyo! Gracias por compartir tu trabajo, es excelente!
I love how you always solve problems by thinking outside the box!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
"Quickly made this tool." Just that would be totally beyond my skills and patience. Forget any actual restoration on my part.
much appreciated :-)
Amazing video, again! I wish I could find a vise like that around here! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks a lot
It might need a bit mote penetrating oil but I don't know 🤔
It wouldn't hurt right? ;-)
very smart restoration bro.
Thank you :-)
I love that you welded and filed the imperfections. What a huge difference 👏
A lot more work sure, but so pleasing to see. Your restorations are always beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it!
As many of your viewers likely did, I started watching these videos when I was recommended the first rusty vice video here that got several million views. It's great to see yet another vice get the 'my mechanics' treatment as that first one did. In fact, I love watching all of the restorations you've done, whether they are the simpler ones or require more complex techniques and research into the origins of the tool or item in question.
Regardless, the professional work and dedication to good presentation make for a very calming experience in times when it seems most forms of media and entertainment are aimed at accomplishing the opposite effect. Thank you!
Thank you for your content, I was very exited when I seen a new " my mechanics" video!
Top notch work Sir! You are excellent at what you do.
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Simple fix, just need some WD40 and another Vise. (*edit, I commented too soon)
Einfach herrlich zuzuschauen, mit welcher Präzision und Ruhe der alte Schraubstock wieder zu neuem Leben erweckt wird! Vielen Dank dafür und Grüße aus Eisenhüttenstadt/Deutschland 👍
Danke für das Lob!
