Miniature Wilton bullet vise

[Slava Yorish]

One more element is ready for casting

 

[T.Mullins]

Amazing and a perfect match to my Wilton!

Please put me down for one of the next batch if you make them.

 

[Al Borland]

Would be fun to have a vise on my keychain,

 

[FJ 432]

I'm down for one,

curious what price you sold the first batch for? Might be interested in a second batch one, but depends on what you'd be selling them for.
Didn't realize how small they were until I saw the penny for scale! For nice job!!

I would absolutely love one when completed. @Slava Yorish your workmanship is top notch! Beautiful work!

The first ones gone for $700 a piece. Taking into account time I spent on each my hourly rate was very low . I know someone then sold one of my vises for 2k. I do not see how it can be cheaper than the first batch.

 

[bas157]

Thanks. Definitely out of my price range but knew it wouldn't be cheap based on time & skill involved!

Sets of wax models before being shipped to the foundry.

Some preliminary castings. To study machining sequence and make some jigs. Looks like the casting process is fine. No flaws, no voids. Letters are recognizable. I am waiting for steel castings now.

Schindler Park?

 

[Patrickm82]

Nice catch! @3baygarage

 

[Slava Yorish]

Schindler Park?

This was the one I had in hand

 

[3baygarage]

I don't know. I had you down as an attention to detail kind of guy.

Ahh heck. Put me down for a Slava Yorish misprint vise. It'll be worth mega bucks in the future!

Have you found a Wilton clamp for the power arm to copy or do you know about them?

Nice work!!

I try to be accurate in my miniatures. The item I make should look like original. The one I had was made in Schindler park.

Early Wilton vises etc. were marked Chicago and later they were marked SCHILLER PARK.

Sorry, of course Schiller

Guessing this was a case of auto-correct for spell-check biting...

 

[Slava Yorish]

There are two possible actions now since all waxes are in the foundry. Either make as it is or stop the process and make 24 new waxes. It will require making new mold.

It will make yours unique if you keep your originals with the D. And as some coins have created extra value with an error this will mark your first batch.

Nice work cause it looks like you have made the important things correctly

Good luck !!

Thanks! As far as I know nobody else is making miniature Powrarm so in any case it is a unique item.

I start turning internal parts. Here how it will look attached.
