I am not a machinist, but I really enjoy bringing vintage tools back to life. This is a very well built vise. I do look for bench vises in bad shape. I take my time and restore them 🍷

I am not sure why they did that. The rest of the box works perfectly. I bought it for $10.00 so I can use it for spare parts 🍷

I started restoring vices during the pandemic. I have about a total of 20. My oldest is the Green Parker. Bringing vintage tools back to life 1 at a time 🍷

I am always looking for Perfect Handel screwdrivers. I really love the craftsmanship of these screwdrivers. Have a great day 🍷

I just started buying Kennedy Tool boxes. I haven’t paid more than $25.00. I bought the one without a bottom for $10.00 . I figured for spare parts. I just can’t believe someone would do that to a Kennedy. The rest of the box works perfectly. What a shame. Enjoy the day 🍷

Update

I pick this grinder up for $25.00 from a Senior guy like me. He told me it was his grandfather. So I wanted to keep the color red on it. I know it’s not the Delta red. But it works and looks good to me. Happy holidays to all 🍷

Nice job. What size on the cable. 16 or 18 gauge?

Hey Guys I am resorting a Delta Triple Duty Grinder. I picked it up from a guy in his 60’s like me and told me that the grinder was his grandfather. I paid $25.00 and the grinder started right up and sounds great. I am looking for some missing parts. I have checked eBay already. If anyone...

Wow great job. I am just starting my restoration on the same grinder. Can you please let me know the information on the LED bulbs from amazon?

Hey Mr Wonderful. I have a total of 10 vises. But no Craftsman.

What does the number 12 mean?

Has a number 12 on the bottom right side. I called Wilton but no help.

Yes you are correct with the HD. I can’t find an answer for the number 12. Thanks for the response
