Wonderful advice ! I will definitely be working on that this weekend

So it finally came in today! I have decided only to work on the rust and to leave the rest alone because I love the patina of it. Isn't there a clear coat that will seal in the Rust so it won't get worse? We are going to take it apart and clean the rust that doesn't have paint on it but I...

Thank you for the information! I talked them down to $30 so I am pretty happy.We don't plan on reselling it we just want to restore it and use it

This is an Vintage UNRESTORED Littlestown HDWE & FDRY CO 3 1/2" Bench Vise with Anvil # 112. Is it worth $45? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for that!

That's amazing! And you've made me feel a lot better because I was feeling pretty down about my purchase or the thought of just tearing it apart for other people. I will look into the way you did yours and see what we can do! Thank you for the comment and pictures

Thank you! Any idea how much I should have paid for this?

I recently purchased this Columbian D63 1/2 vise to restore and use in our workshop. Does anyone have any idea how old this is or any information about it? I tried looking through the threads but I didn't see any that looked like rhyme exactly.

Hi everybody! I am new here but I've been reading the posts for a while now. My husband and I restore anything old and rusty. We don't always do total makeovers come up sometimes it's better to leave them functional but still beat up a little bit at least that's what we think.My husband also...
