If we can be that picky about WD40 then we can be that picky about everything.
Vice = shop tool in British (and Canadian) English. Pbbbbth.

DAMMIT YOU GUYS!
I've been very Not clicking this thread, cuz we only have satellite innertoob here and I suspected this would be nothing but trouble. But ya went and made me see what the deal is and now I am gonna nuke what little bandwidth we have and it's allllllll your fault!

I’m guessing that’s a US site.
Merriam-Webster:
“ in British English vice is also used for the tool—that is, to spell vise.”
Grammarist:
”Outside American English, the vise spelling rarely appears. The gripping tool is instead spelled vice.”
In reply to Keith Tanner :
I think he's actually in Belgium.
Post edited for clarity. I was not commenting on where our machinist friend lived, simply defending my assertion that "vise" is an American-centric spelling and that folks educated in other countries may use a slightly different spelling, and correctly so. It's like gray/grey, color/colour and traveled/travelled.
So to be clear we're all in the same ballpark even though the pitch is a field? 
Screwdriver vid up as of an hour ago already has almost 2K views.
Probably helps that he's on the front page of GarageJournal.com
But..yeah....jelly of his skills. That is painstakingly beautiful meticulous work done just for the love of tools.
The screwdriver video, he says 14 hours of labor.

I just watched it, and even as simple as that was it was amazing to watch!
In reply to Javelin :
I was kind of hoping he would sign and date the back of one of the handles. You know, for the person who restores it in another 80 years to find. 
I fell asleep watching. Twice. It was so relaxing. Like a mechanical Bob Ross.
I think one of the reasons this is so compelling is that you don’t see all the hours of thinking and figuring out how to save/remove/restore/recreate a part. Just solid confidence as he moves through the process. We’d all like to think this is what it’s like :)

"now we're going to make a happy little screw..."
The vise showed up in my feed a few days ago. I finally watched it and the screw jack. Amazing work.
WD-40 is not a lubricant or penetrating oil in the same way that my Harbor Freight ratchet is not a hammer.
I watched the tiny machete episode. I have all those tools and when I get two good arms again I think I’m making one.
I don't care if he takes showers in Swiss, German, or American WD40, I'm checking out this channel TONIGHT!
Marking this thread for later retrieval.
Only one small issue, he only has 5 or 6 videos. I’ve gone through all of them and now have several other tool restoration channels showing up.

Now over 185,000...
This has sent me down a rabbit hole. I watched all of his videos. Then I went to TysTube and now I’m on the Restore It channel. The bonus for Restore It is his videos are split between similar device restorations and an E30 rebuild.
