1961 Wilton 3.5 Swivel Bullet restore - Green

[garagesapien]

This Wilton vise was in pretty rough condition, with plenty of battle scars and deep scratches from years of use. Most of the damage was repaired with weld buildup, while smaller imperfections were filled using metal-reinforced filler. I also ground away many of the original casting flaws to create a cleaner, smoother appearance.

The vise was refinished in Forest Green with copper accents, giving it a distinctive look while preserving its character. It also received a new set of jaws and hardware.
