This is a base off of a 1929 403 1/2 it just says 3 1/2 on it, I have another 403 1/2 from 1943 that’s currently not in front of me. I’m 98% sure it says 3 1/2 and 1C on that one, and it also has the 4 hole mount pattern vs the 3 of the older style. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I had some free time this week so I put together the Reed 204R I picked up a few weeks ago. Gave it a deep scrub with simple green and multiple stiff bristle brushes and was surprised to find this much original paint underneath all the dirt/grime. “It’s only original once” as they say, so...

BTW, it’s Birkman Electric on that tag. Actually it’s Birtman Electric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Funny you mention that. It now resides in my basement office. Had to take the railing off the stairs to make the corner at the bottom. Took everything the fiancé and I had to get it down there. I really love the desk and am glad to have it. I’m not looking forward to getting it out of the...

Looking for a Reed 403 1/2 spindle/meatball/handle

Got a chance to do something pretty unusual for me today. I went out to a fellow collector/enthusiasts home and was shown his collection. I was also able to snag 3 new projects for myself A Reed 204R, Reed 403 1/2”, and a Prentiss 99 coachmakers vise! Awesome experience all around...

Picked up this steelcase tanker this evening and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been looking for one for awhile now, just couldn’t bring myself to pay the premium these have been demanding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Pry bar set finally came today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Morgan does have screws like drives said. However they come with new jaws as well. They changed the head diameter on the new jaws/screws. The ~60 degree-ish taper on the original screws is no longer standard. I just went through this with my Morgan 160 I cleaned up. I ended up counterboring...

I posted this on the vise thread already but it fits pretty well here too Been on a dry spell of estate/garage sales lately so this was a welcomed acquisition. After finishing up my Morgan 160 last week, it dawned on me that I didn’t have a place to put it. Destined to have it be my main...

After finishing up my Morgan 160 last week, it dawned on me that I didn’t have a place to put it. Destined to have it be my main user, I searched for a new HD place to mount it too. After numerous marketplace and Craigslist searches to no avail, I looked out behind the shop at work and sitting...

Thanks KMScott! Here are a few pics of the jaws, just factory that are cleaned up. Thanks ROYCE and DAVET! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks shift! Yes, that’s exactly what it is. I thought it would be a bit darker but I’m very happy how it came out. Thanks Smitty, I’m very pleased with it. Probably my favorite one I’ve done thus far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Finally got around to redoing my Starrett 924 this week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I too ran across that post while down in AL last month, also looking for vises. I even went as far to reach out to the person and ask if they would sell the big ridgid separately. ...No response haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Finished up the Craftsman 5191 I’ve been working on. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I had to sacrifice one of the original screws getting it out so that left me one short. Ended up counterboring the jaws for low head socket cap screws, worked nicely. Still waiting on some new drive...

Finished up the 43S I’ve been working on. New soft jaws, new handle, strip and left bare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Smitty! It certainly is, I’ve been seeing a few of them come up on the forum lately. Mainly found by yourself and have been hoping to find one of my own. Today was that day. Very nice vises, super pleased Going straight to the workbench as my main user. Sent from my iPhone using...
