Didn't see the turkey, but I heard it outside. Too busy drooling over the "good" stuff inside. He has one or two nice vices in the shop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had the pleasure of meeting a GJ member yesterday, KMScott, and visiting his workshop. WOW.:thumbup: Also picked up some awesome new jaws for the No200. I think the jaws will outlast the vise. Thanks again, Kevin, it was great to meet you and spend time in your shop. I look forward to...

Stainless was on sale for 209, butcher block on sale for 135. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After looking at all the great benches in this thread, I decided it was time to replace my 3/4" plywood bench top and replace with something nicer. Sale at Sears and I ended up with 8' butcher block and 8' stainless, both 1-1-2" thick. Before: After: Still need to caulk around wall, and I...

In true answers to your question, let me start by saying until recently, the only vise I really had much experience with was a 3" China no name that came with the garage. Then I stumbled upon this site, and, well, you know. I recently mounted the Craftsman 3.5 and have been using that for the...

KMScott, better yet, why don't I run it up to Estes and you can judge for yourself, and possibly make some new jaws for it! Didn't see any listed on the website, not sure if you do 8". Then I can dig through your scrap pile as well ;) That's a fine looking Tom btw! Sent from my iPhone using...

Here is what I found online. (what did we ever do before the intraweb? Oh yea, encyclopedia's and public libraries). In 1560, the ancestor of the Okamoto family established the foundry under the charter by the Royal Court of Emperor of Japan. Making the home and building appliances for the...

Not sure, from what I have found on this thread is they were made in Japan. I was hoping someone here could tell me more about them. COO? Date range? Etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, lot o nice stuff here.:beer: Here are a few of mine. My buddy from HS grandfather worked for Stovall Motors in Denver as a tech, he passed away some 20 years ago after being retired for at least the same. Anyway, after he passed they were selling off all of his garage stuff. Needless to...

Inspiration for the 3.5" Craftsman: *Note to self: I need a tree stump!

I thought I would share my first 2 tries at restoring. These are not the monsters some have posted, but here we go. First up: 4" Torco by Wilton Thanks to EOC Jason, Fretters, and Outlaw for help with tear down. Before and after pics:

My local Ace only have the 7R and 7WR listed as $4.99 sale. Both normally $12.99. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks EOC, Outlaw, and Fretters. All suggestions were great and used all in conjunction to remove pins. After removing pins, and lead screw, I noticed the T joint is broken. Oh well, I will finish cleaning up and use it as a beater vise.

I just acquired this Torco. How do I remove the lead screw? It appears the screw assembly is held in by this pin from the side. Does that need to be cut off, and a new roll pin inserted? Most other vises I have seen have the lead screw held in with a C clip. Thanks, Mike

I've been enjoying this forum for a few months now, drooling over everybody's garage, tool boxes, vises, and workbenches. Thought it was time to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Mike from Denver, Co area. While I am not a professional mechanic, I do work with them and sometimes get to help out. I...
