True, but just a few. Nothing like going to the ale house and having 20 varieties on draft including seasonals

@LesserSon righteous vise I miss dogfish head

Yeah I’m lost there as well. Came without any pin. I’m thinking that was a repair and maybe the original used a typical pin in front of the nut. To use this config I expect you’d want to thread the part in the vise body, like the axle on an adjustable wrench. I cannot find any marking except...

I botched the picture upload on my first post (on mobile). Take a look at this. That dovetail is original—no way the nut dropped in from the top.

The nut feeds in from the front on prentiss vises?

Can anyone ID this vise and/or point me toward photos of an intact one? This one is a bit of a Hail Mary. I tried everything to get that pin out non-destructively but it wasn’t having it. Odd features: Pin has a keyway Nut loads from front of vise How was nut pin supposed to be removed? Random...

Haha I had been watching this one on Craigslist and it finally went. Great price even with the chip. Some soft jaws should cover it.

This is great--thank you!

Are those dovetails on the jaws? 😍 Also love that triangular base I’ve never seen anything like it.

I see yours has the same handle retainer clip that mine does. I was expecting the cast one I’m used to seeing but perhaps they made some this way at the factory? Thanks for the info on that handle mechanism. I think mine is fried but I’m not sure I’m brave enough to tear into it in case I...

Hi folks. I’ve got this 6in Parker all ready to go except…the janky handle collar it came with will not do. Can anyone point me toward a mechanical drawing? Also—what’s up with the screw in the meatball? From a repair? Filling up the hole from a live center? The guy I bought it from did the...

AFTER Also stamped 23 on the bottom of the dynamic Up next is a Reed 4 1/2 in much better shape that looks basically identical aside from the lettering.

Finally got around to this Hollands 4 1/2 The usual signs of pretty careless hammering on the static body and dynamic tail. After painting I noticed the dovetail inside had cracked upward. Jaws are pretty worn but that's not an issue for me and I'm not a machinist so a replacement is out. The...

I’ve got my “new” drill mounted on a leveling base that’s up to my wonky basement floor My next issue is a missing part. Any idea where to get a replacement 60-42 bent handle? This should have 4 of them including the table lift but one is missing. I found a comparable steel nut on MMC and...

I bought this off Craigslist in the greater Seattle area. Normally the cool old stuff gets snatched up quick but this lingered so I took a shot. Sears Roebuck model 101.03682 Appears to be actually manufactured by Atlas. EDIT: Found it eventually on VM (here), via via this page on GJ...
