Thanks, RBarnes. I think the hammered colors look better when brushed on rather than sprayed. It's easier to get the hammered, textured look. Yeah, I forgot who my audience is here :) Here's a pic of the old vise on my bench. It may look small to most here, but I thought it was overkill for...

It's been a while since my last vise post, so I thought I'd share a before and after pic of my "new" old Wilton C0. Bought it at an auction last spring, cleaned it up and mounted it on my bench. The paint is Rustoleum Hammered gray, brushed on. Also added some bumpers on the handle to make it...

Looks like a Kindt-Collins and an Emmert #2

Here's a nice Starrett 323 1/2 that I found at an estate sale a few years back. Had to make three trips and work a bit to get it! It was mounted on a very heavy duty shop-made rolling cabinet. I made the lady an offer for just the vise, as I had no room or need for the cabinet. She said she...

Yes, I still have the quill lock. I'll get some measurements for you in the morning.

Brian, I might have the pulley you need. Atlas also made craftsman presses. I parted out the craftsman 15" press shown below and still have a few parts left. I can get some measurements if you are interested. Tom

Thanks. I've been lazy lately with my projects. I've got a bed project about half done that I can't get motivated to finish. That's part of it sitting on my bench. But here's a drafting table I made a couple years ago that I really like. Cherry, sort of a mission / arts and crafts design...

Rrich1: Nice job on the bathroom! Well designed and I like the colors too. Tom

Re: Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips - A little shop tour Just got done cleaning up the shop, so this is the best it's looked in a while. I thought I'd take some pics and share them while it's still clean. :) It's really too small, only about 10' x 20'. I walled off the back of my attached...

Thanks, CRS. I'm mostly a power tool guy. Older, American made stuff. I'll post a little shop tour over there on WW101 after I clean things up a little.

Thanks for the nice words, everyone. The bench is usually a mess! Just cleaned it up for the pictures. CRSINMICH: Here are a couple more pics of the cabinet. It's certainly not in the same league as Studley, but it was definitely a fun project to make. 007 by Thomas Rausenberg, on Flickr...

New guy here with a couple vises to show you. I've really enjoyed reading this thread and have learned a lot. I only have one bench, so it does double duty. Wood vise on the left and metal vise on the right. The Emmert is the ultimate wood vise, in my opinion. It tilts, swivels, and the...
