Beautiful job :D Thanks for sharing the before and after pics.

Nice. I like the flat part in front where you can place your foot.

The Ridge vise jaws are 4 1/2 inch wide, and it feels like about 60+ lb. But I need a scale to confirm that.

I got a couple of nice vises off garage sale. Athol - great vise for a restoration project. 60 lb - according to a bathroom scale. <img src="http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/7822/athol1.jpg" width="800" height="603"> <img src="http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2084/athol2.jpg"...

I like that a lot :D Will give it a try. I've found a couple of informative GJ threads on electrolysis: Rust Removal by Electrolysis Rust Removal by Electrolysis - 5 gallon bath size And a very informative website on electrolysis: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/rust.htm

What would you recommend for de-rusting? And, do you wire-brush after? I used Evapo-Rust a couple of times and liked it a lot. HF sells it for $20 per gallon, which becomes $16 with their 20% off coupon.

First, thanks to mjozefow for this great thread. Second, I want to brag about my best-spent $10 (so far) on a vise. This morning there was a garage/moving sale in my neighborhood. So I went and picked a few tools for cheap and then asked the owner about any bench vise he might have for sale...

Well said. I love what was done with that broken Wilton. The base looks like it used to be swivel.

Amazing project! Great pictures and stories. Thanks VERY MUCH for sharing.

The Mitutoyo 8” Digital Caliper came today. Lovely job packing and fast shipping. Thanks very much :D

Great looking vise.
