If I needed a vise, to use, and the broken off base piece came with it, I'd offer the scrap iron price, maybe. Mule

BFBOB, that little vise you bought and posted the pictures of, in post #12352, is nice. I have never seen one like it. The rear jaw sliding on the I-beam is sort of like it sliding on "V" ways, without gibs. Course, until I came across this forum, I never give much thought to a vise, other than...

Thanks, Gary Indiana, for the color sample. Mule

Thanks BFBOB. Ducksface it is for go, not show, As is evident in my photo. I'm just getting cabin fever. It is cold and wet-wet out. I don't handle the damp cold like I use to. So, I dream. Mule

autopts71045, you posted a picture of the polish vise you mentioned owning in this quote. It is a greenish color. If you still have the vise, is there any way you could find out what the color actually is? Maybe, a paint code number? Mine was that color, originally, and I would like to paint it...

drivesitfar, this is mine. I still use it, just not as often as before my Garage became a storage building. Seems like a garage/shop that is not worked in regularly, becomes a place to drop things. At least at my house.

It has been a year since the last entry here, but I just found this thread. I thought someone might be interested in this link. I would love to go through the museum. I have had a Weaver 28 ton Hi-Speed press in my Garage since 1989. When my Dad had to give up his Garage he gave the press to me...

Texas has two North East corners. I am in the Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana corner. I get my mail from Maud, but I am in Redwater school district. I am 7 miles from Maud, but 2 miles from Redwater.

I made most of my living as a mechanic, except for a stretch [1974-1979] working for Brown & Root as a millwright. When I worked for other garages it was independent garages, mostly. I worked for a dealership, only once. I had my own garage twice. I am now disabled living off social security. I...
