One clean Wilton The Wilton came out of the tank very well. The cleaning solution was nearly black. I found my buffing and polishing stand to be invaluable in cleaning up this vise. My jaw inserts and screws are a little rough, but I think I can improve them enough to get by for now. I will...

JB That's great advice on the bolt storage. I can empty out a shelf in the kitchen hutch of Mrs Spencer's lifetime collection of Blue Willow dishes and put the bolts in their place. Since the shelves in the hutch are glass, I will have to display the Wilton on the bottom wood shelf, as it...

drives This is not a metal can per se--but for grins and giggles this is made of them. My grandaughter who is a senior in college made this robot in her art class. The belly is a tea kettle and the head is the cap of a welding gas bottle. The arms are BX cable, so he qualifies for "metal...

drives Thanks for the great information on Wilton. I will post up my Wilton Restore on your vise thread in Vintage Tools, or if you like you can post it up using any photos I have submitted to my thread or to you in email. If you choose to do it, you can author it and just let me know...

Joe I'm really glad you stopped by the thread and I am pleased you like the Wilton. It is currently at the beauty shop, and will look a whole lot better the next time you see it. I dropped it in my tank yesterday and it is getting a good degreasing and will be cleaning up rather nicely...

drives My attorney will draw an Irrevocable Living Trust on the Block & Wilton with you as Trustee and Sole Receiptant of Said Trust. I have hereto put my hand and seal. Best Regards Herb

Drives I am not going to replace the jaws right away at least. I could use some better jaw screws or I might be able to recut the flathead screwdriver slots in these I have. I will be painting the Wilton to match my CMAN Block Grinder. Both will share prime real estate on my main bench, and...

WarrenJ Thanks for your comments. I do appreciate your coming by each time I post. I am very proud of my Wilton!! Best Regards Herb

Wilton in Rehab Process Got it down and had a little challenge with the front jaw insert screws. Some heat and penetrant got that solved. I am NOT going to remove the rear hatch and inner nut as there is such nice machining and it will not be necessary. [(]If it ain't broke don't fix...

Gerard THAT is a great looking vise. I like that one a lot and it looks really well built. Thanks for letting me see it, and I thought "Shop King" sounded like a Vac!! I am some dumb but not plumb dumb I am afraid now that I might not know everything there is to know?? LOL Best Regards Herb

Bob Great to see you in the thread again!! I am extremely happy to have the Wilton. Thank you for your comments and coming by!! Always Welcome in my shop!! Best Regards Herb

JB That is quite a science lesson on the Alloy Bolts. It makes me think I need to put them in my Bank Safe Deposit Box. It is also kind of scary as some one might break in the shop and rob me of them before I get them secured. I just hope those Hydrocarbon Chains don't strangle my new...

Drives Right now the only thing I could tell you about the bolts and nuts is that I would sure hate to buy a box of 50 of them at current retail prices!! Thanks and Best Regards Herb

Gerard I am mulling over red or gray, but will probably do the Wilton in Metallic Blue to match my Craftsman Block Grinder. These two tools will share my main bench. Yes, I have wanted THIS Wilton for a long time. I was beginning to feel I was the only garage journal member who did not have...
