It seems to fall to 2 groups. The hoarders and the users with a little over lap in between. I have had some nice tools over the years, some would say rare but I always pass them on. I end up with ugly stuff that I put to work. Think of it this way, those hoarders are providing a service to the...

SOLD7" Prentiss vise with swivel base. Weighs 235 pounds "Price Reduced"

Finally got a pic of my extra anvils. 120 pound Fisher 300 pound hay budden 500 pound hay budden Im glad I built my shed floor on the heavy side

Looks to be Parker

I found a nice vise to replace a loaner I borrowed from my folks a couple of years ago. It has the same features that my former vise has, swivles in 2 directions. Looks to be in great shape for the age.

Been another good week here. Found a nice 6" starrett vise. Pictured next to is is a 5" wilton I posted last week. Scaled 200 pounds, not bad for a modern 6" vise Saw I forgot to post details from last week, Parker is a 3.5", Wilton is a 5" and anvil used for stand is 304 pounds
