I've always wanted a swivel base for my 2" baby Wilton, as i've only got a power arm right now. This will be very helpful in making a start at that project!

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! That is very helpful!!

That an interesting idea, I hadn't thought of using that in the ultrasonic cleaner as well.

Yep, also simple green or Krudd Kutter in an ultrasonic cleaner does wonders as well!

Yeah I agree! Or plain old carb cleaner!

Oh i see, thats cool! Yeah I know what you mean, i've got quite the collection of vises too! lol

That is awesome! I've got an old Charles Parker that I'd like to do that too once i've got a new pipe jaw manufactured for it.

No I don't make swivel bases at this point, it is something I've give some thought to though. I just haven't been able to devote enough time working it out yet.

Yes, I really like the BLO finish! Great job on that! But yes, the fact that some collectors really prefer the original patina look is why i'm leaning strongly in favor of that look. It is always in a conditioned shop, so i'm not worried about it deteriorating anymore.

Yeah thats true, there isn't anything broken on the vise i've got pictured though. The only thing it was missing is the swivel jaw pin, which is what I manufactured.

Yes, I am contemplating restoring this one. I'm just a bit torn between the original patina look and a restored look.

I make new pins for the Reed 403 1/2, here is a picture. If you would like a new one let me know. I have a website, but I know GJ doesn't like it when I post it because last time I did it I got banned lol

Looks like a previous owner was cutting with a torch on it as some stage.
