Thanks for all the late compliments! I used a spar urethane clear gloss with lots of thin coats and sanding in between. I have used it a ton with all kinds of abuse and still looks new unless you look in just the right light. I think it will be easy to quick sand and hook it up with a new top...

Got the vise finished. Took a couple times painting. I was having issues with spraying to thick lol. Note to self, no painting while drinking:willy_nil:lol:. It's for sale if anyone wants to make an offer.

Lol! They did. I looked at the Craftsman catalogs from 68-72 and all the images showed the drawers on the other side. Also, the back of the bench was in a little better shape. So it all worked out to my advantage.

New work in progress! $30!

Look what I got! Picked this up today for $30! I was wondering if I should just get the rust off and spray, or if I can try to "smooth" it out a bit. Also, was there supposed to be a cap at the back and is there anyvway to find a swivel? Unfortunatly if I were to clean and repaint I would...

There is a 4" wilton vise for sale and it seems kind of crusty. It would be a hour drive just to get there. They are asking 60$ but gonna try to talk down a bit. What do you think? Is it worth the risk?

Progress pictures. Cut up the wife's yoga mat for drawer liners.(shes not using it :evil:) I like the brighter color in there. Snap on foam that came with the box. Again, love the brighter color.

To revive an old thread lol. I found these in a estate sale in Everett, WA. Not the greatest condition but for $1 cant beat it. Mine seams to have a lower model number. Also, it says it has a flex handle but it had a S-K rusty old flex handle. I was going to resrpay just for looks but then I...

Finished up sealing the top. Turned out great!

Thanks for all the comments! Today I am sealing the workbench top. Turns out it is "flake board with hard board overlay" like MDF. Anybody know anything about the pressure pot? I can't find a product number anywhere. I have seen some similar on the web but they appear to be older. I believe...
