    Actual lathe and milling work by someone who really knows what he is doing? And no filler? Not even for the small dents? I really didn't expect that. Huge respect!

    Great video, but I’m more glad that you’re safe and well. Also glad that you’re back 👍🏻

    When I first saw the vice I thought it could only be used as a boat anchor. You really are a magician.

    I clapped with the dust cover!! 👏👏👏 Great job! Never let nobody say you "This is too damaged to restore", they don't understand us.

    That dust cover idea was pure genius! I used to live, in the desert Southwest, in America, and the wind and dust are challenging to any tool or machine, there.

    This is by far my favorite restoration video, for the simple reason that body filler was NOT used! It&apos;s so refreshing to see a piece be allowed to tell its story with all its imperfections kept intact. Far too often, many restoration channels take away the story a piece tells, by using body filler and removing any metal casting lines or imperfections. To me it ruins the historical value of a piece. <br><br>This was so refreshing to see, and it earned a subscribe from me!

    I first thought it wasn&apos;t the same vice but seeing exactly what you did proved that it was indeed! A great resto job done on this old vice! Congratulations on a job well done!! Great video, thank you, and warm greetings from South Africa.

    This is the first video I’ve watched from this channel. I’m 5 minutes and 21 seconds into it, and I just subscribed. This guy is doing it right. Using filler metal to build up the base, and welding it using the proper methods. Much respect!!!! <br><br>Stay safe there in Iran!
