Thank you guys, I guess I can't read all of the threads or I'll never get this one done. This is what happens when you're late to the party. I'll update when I have pictures.
You guys are in big trouble. When my fiance asks me why I'm buying rusty old vises off Ebay I'm pointing her to this thread. :lol: I just bought this one a Erie Tool Works Superior No. 43. It needs a lot of work but I hope it will be fun.
I want to fix my Uncles old vise ( he broke the screws for the jaw pads ). After Googling around I landed here. I've spent hours reading threads and it's amazing what people know and can do. I see I will have a lot more reading to do. :)
