I've heard there is a chance the battery can explode. Would rather try a safer option coz I dont have electric in my barn, so electrolysis tank will be sitting on back patio.

McGivering a computer power supply is my last resort. I was hoping someone could point out a better option. Thanks for your response.

After looking into several recommendations provided on these forums for removing rust off my Wilton vise ( https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446710 ), I have decided to go the electrolysis way. Thinking this will be a long term solution as I would have some equipment to remove...

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Picked this Wilton C1 couple days ago from an old man locally for $175. Dont know much about it other than its a C1 sold in November 1947. Thanks

Ok thanks. I talked to local Ace Hardware employee and after talking to him thinking of not putting EPS insulation around the barn. Thanks for your response.

I have some left over foil faced EPS insulation from the barn roof. Thinking of putting it around the barn bottom pressure treated boards and then grade the earth out around it. This way the soil is not in direct contact with bottom boards, and hopefully last longer. EPS insulation boards are...

Sadly, no. Like 4 pics of the same side.:confused:

Thanks for the info. I will look around on Craigslist and similar websites. How does this vise rank among the wide range of vise manufacturers out there? I have couple of Wilton vises and an unmarked old crappy one btw.

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate the time and effort!

Being offered locally. I am not sure how much this vise is worth, so I can make a reasonable offer on this. Jaw size appears to be about 3.5 or 4 inches. That's pretty much all I know about this vise so far. Thanks in advance! P.S: That black area I censored is trying to cover identifiable...

Thanks for all the info. I will post when I start this project. Much appreciated.

Yea I know the video you are talking about. Unfortunately I do not have any machinist tools as I am not a machinist.

Thanks. Will try that when I have it unstuck and ready to paint.

Thanks for all the info. Will let you know if I cant get it unstuck.

Not sure what is a Jitterbug sander. Like just a normal palm sander?

I thought electrolysis works only in line of sight, like only visible areas not in areas hidden like this vise has. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

Thanks a lot for all the info guys. I am gonna respond to some with follow up questions.

I picked this vise up few months ago, hoping to restore it. But now I think I might have gotten into something way over my head. Few specs about the vise. Has 6 inch jaws and weighs about 150 lbs. Overall about 24 inches long. Thats all I know about this vise. Basically the jaws are rusted...

wow what a entertaining and informative discussion. Thanks a lot to all those who replied here. And yea, cardboard cans with metal lids sounds like a SNAFU to me. Why fix if it aint broke. Btw, for those curious, I am 33. Keep it up fellas!
