Very nice resto. May I ask what paint you used? I have a 503 that I am planning to restore but am unsure of the correct paint color and type. Thank you.

Looks like you need to fit those new jaws using a mill. You have a big job on your hands. Don't get discouraged. Find a machine shop to help.

I'm in the process of trying to restore and old Fairbanks hand truck. The handles and the main frame of the truck are made of what looks to me like oak. After repairing all the cracks and sanding down all the splinters, I am not sure how to finish the wood. I'm not a carpenter so I'm not very...

A file is a good place to start. I prefer it because I can take my time. If I have to fill in gouges with some welding, I would go to a grinder. Can't put it on, once its off.

I have the same one. Mine sits in the corner doing nothing. Its just a flat surface for my to put more **** on on the garage. Kinda like my treadmill .

I really like that color.

This is very true. I just finished replacing the shaft on my 3000. I had inadvertently placed my finger on the lock as I was operating the tool. I tried to change bit but was unable to break the bit free from the check without having to disassemble the entire thing. At least now I'm well versed...

Well done. Looks perfect to me.

I like that finish. How did you get the copper finish look? Is that paint?

A thumbs up for the vise. Another thumbs up for the beer. That's my new favorite beer.
