Nice updates! I love shopping at McMaster Carr. If I order something right now, it will be on my doorstep before I've finished coffee tomorrow morning.

I spent so many hours watching Tom's incredible ability bring that project to fruition.

Bookmarked! Great work so far, designer485.

Another good idea I'll have to consider. Thank you!

Beerhippie, Shiftless, RTM Thank you all very much. I was shown the sandblasting cabinet at my workplace today. It is a beautiful piece of kit. I'll hopefully have time next week to get it cleaned up. Will report back once reinstalled!

I should also add my Wilton C0 is on the other end of the bench.

Good morning everyone. I'm seeking some good counsel regarding the best way to do a boiled linseed oil finish on my Columbian D45-M4. I was working for a powder coating company about a year ago and blasted all the old gunk off it but left the job before I had a chance to paint it. I have...

Wow. Very well done on all fronts.

Made a little more progress on the Wilton C0 today. When I went to measure for the end cap, I was getting different measurements on my calipers. Some were 1.64, some were 1.66, etc. I hunted down 2 Dorman expansion plugs and bought a 1.643 and 1.67 OD. The 1.643 could be made to work, if the...

Just received a set of jaws for my C0 in the mail today. Thanks so very much, autopts! I want the jaws to sit a little proud of the body so there's going to have to be a little material removal on the right side. I also need to figure out the best way to straighten the jaws so they are...

Thanks again autopts, for the thread spec info on my C0's lead screw cap. I was able to secure some stainless steel 10-32x.750 screws for the vise. I did have to reduce the OD of the heads a little bit so that when the vise was closing, the interference was mitigated. I finally had the time to...

Thank you autopts!

It has been quite a while since I posted here! Last week I spoke to my sister in law about buying a Wilton C0 that came with a house she bought. I have a good bit of work to get it back to the condition it deserves to be in. As of right now it rotates 360° and the dynamic jaw moves freely. I...

I remember seeing the same video and thought what a great idea.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope this message finds everyone doing well and enjoying their vise collections heading into a new decade still searching for the elusive "one" to say "I got it!"
